Covid death tolls: scientists acknowledge errors in WHO estimates
Thanks! We don't have imminent plans to release on different stores, sorry! Each store comes with non-trivial overhead of management, different build system, community interaction, update posting, patch notes, etc, and currently we are just too small team for that.
Occasionally NASA will do surveys of smaller objects, but I'm not sure how they would be able to tell if they're still up there since they're not regularly tracked- it's more like 'we scanned volume x and found y objects smaller than we usually track so we think there are z small objects up there overall'.

Overall one of the more interesting bits of the 'hold my beer' phase of space exploration.
This is a common misconception about patents.

They were never intended to reward innovation. They do intentionally grant fixed-duration monopolies.

Patents were intended to encourage companies to disclose trade secrets, forwarding public knowledge. In return, that company is granted continued exclusive use of the idea, as if it had never been revealed. This is also why ALL patent drawing are in the public domain.
It seems obvious to me that there exists something like this shared across all homo sapiens. What we see now as complex language allowing for the broadcast of abstract thoughts and memes, as well as human culture, must both have evolved alongside each other a period of time that would appear long to us, but is meaningless in terms of genetic drift and "meat evolution". But in order for that process to begin, there must have been an extremely basic structure on which to begin it, which by definition must be in our DNA.
Lots of big players slowly moving away from tether and that’s putting sell pressure. Unlike USDC or DAI, there’s no 1:1 redeemability to dollars for your average joe, so it requires a few key market makers who have access to tether redemptions to keep the peg, that’s why it’s not a super efficient market.
Edit: oh god, leaving this in place for posterity but I am completely misrepresenting fastmail here. It is protonmail that I recently tried and had these limitations. Apologies! How embarrassing. Also, I have no idea why the child comment correcting me would be so downvoted. It’s apparently correct.

Yes, but fastmail has a couple dealbreaker limitations when doing this: First, you can’t originate mail from that address; you can only respond. This makes it unusable for a lot of mailing list control messages and other systems where you are required to make inquiries from a registered email address. Second, you must explicitly set up each of the unique recipient addresses, which is a huge burden when you want to be able to generate them on the fly when signing up for web accounts (and when you already have hundreds in use because you’ve spent decades giving every company a unique address).

If they addressed these and I could have an unlimited number of suffixes directed to a single fastmail address, I’d sign up for a paid account in a heartbeat. Looks like a great service but those are fatal flaws IMO.

What a loss to the community, Dave was always filled with so much enthusiasm for synthesizers and what was possible.
Here is a concern that I have with kagi... Let's say I want to search for something privately. I can VPN and use private mode, and it would be extremely hard to link that search to me. Definitely not in an NSA style dragnet, someone must be tracking me personally to know what I search for. But with a search engine requiring payment it's super easy to deanonymize everyone in single swoop. And if it can be done, it will be done. Ironically, bing and google can be much more private than this engine if used properly
I can see where that opinion on how I wrote it comes up. My meaning was more that most teams operate with a defined chain of command and another implicit seniority/culture structure. We're trying to find interesting ways to be more inclusive of people lower in those structures by not prompting them to wait for those above them to finish speaking before they go ahead and share their own ideas.

Hierarchies definitely trump those trivialities and are a huge hurdle to being more inclusive, but we also see these small tweaks as steps in the right direction.
> Obviously, probing some overconstrained high dimensional space where it's never rewarded for uncertainty has to produce something; that doesn't mean that something is a language.

But if one of those probes towards unrewarded input produces a correlation then SOME side effect is influencing it. It means there can be side effects ALL over the unrewarded space.

That being said the reward space VS. unrewarded space is tiny. 1 over infinite for all intents and purposes. It's basically all combinations of letters in reality vs. all possible grammatically correct English combinations.

The unrewarded space is massively huge. Within that unrewarded space given how massive it it is, there is actually a very high probability that there is at least several sets of inputs in there that form a grammar and a consistent language with consistent outputs.

But these sets are hard to find you can't just pick anything. If you pick one secret word that has a correlation with birds, then you mash it up with english expecting it to stay coherent... well that's simply an invalid set.

You need to find the OTHER words that work in conjunction with the secret bird word. There are millions likely, but they will likely be impossible to find. Library of Babel vibes, https://maskofreason.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/the-library....

This could actually be an interesting project. Some algorithm that explores this space attempting to map out connections. It would have to be another ML algorithm, but likely that search is still never ending; but like the library of babel, in terms of probability something must be out there that works.
Steam has regional pricing and we can set a price in local currency for each country separately. They also provide price suggestions. Argentina is one of the cheapest regions so you can definitely pickup cheaper games there.

Note that not all publishers have the same discounts. Check SteamDB for a price overview: https://steamdb.info/app/1594320/
It makes sense that it would have weird connections but the big claim here is that it outputs those connections as rendered text despite failing to output actual text is was trained on and prompted with. That sounds very unexpected to me and requiring a lot of evidence (that would be easy to cherry pick), though this debunking wasn’t convincing either.
They've already brought it down a lot, the original plan was to charge $30/mo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30213110

If it really costs them $1 for 80 searches, I don't see how they can bring it much lower. $10 feels like the sweet spot for me.
I won't speak to 'all modern operating systems', nor 'more than 100 users', because who really knows how to enumerate either of those. But given the OSes that the vast if not overwhelming majority of people use, 'because C' seems like the easy answer.
Methamphetamine is neurotoxic, lis-/dex-amphetamine and methylphenidate are not.
I have no reasons to doubt privacy statements but it rubs me the wrong way that I'm identifying myself by name to use search engine that's supposed not to track me.

The requirement for an account also makes ad-hoc searching on whatever device/browser/profile tricky.

> You should pay for your search engine to ensure that the incentives of the information provider are aligned with what’s best for you, not what’s best for the advertisers.

DDG tends to show some search term-related ads but those seem quite harmless and aren't loaded from 3rd party sites.

> We care deeply about privacy.

Worthless statement. And quite annoying since most vendors start their privacy policies with similar calming statement which multiple paragraphs later is followed by "we'll give your data to advertisers"

That being said, Kagi looks interesting and I'll consider paying to try it out.

EDIT: media are loaded from AWS and browser sends a kagi_session cookie while grabbing them. kagi.com itself seems to be hosted on GCP. How am I supposed to trust any privacy assurances with this setup?

Good tip on the compressed air. IDS = International Diplomat Sales; as I understand it, instead of renting a car when traveling in Europe, you could buy a SAAB and they'd arrange shipment back home. The former owner of mine was a professor who spent a year guest lecturing in Norway in 1983-84 and brought the car home when he was done. And I'm certainly heading toward needing to do some welding, because here in the rust belt it's impossible to ignore. (3 of my last 4 cars were killed by structural rust, and of those, 2 were unibody.)

I'll send you an email. I could (evidently) talk about SAAB for weeks.
Accessibility has value; fame is a form of accessibility.
I still don't get it. Streaming and influencer culture is just incomprehensible to me. Watching people play games isn't quite as puzzling to me as OnlyFans and similar sites, though. What's the attraction, when there's so much free porn on the internet?
yup! If I do a very conservative 40 searches a day, and save 1 second on every search, that will be 20 minutes of time searching saved over a month!. I think that alone might justify the cost for some people.
I was remote with HP for years, doing SysAdmin work. Then I changed job, went back to the office and slowly went a few days a week remote, then went fully remote during the pandemic. The company learned they could save a bucket ton of money not having to pay for an office and just told us all to stay at home. Honestly, for about a year and a half I put in 10 hours a day or more, just recently I learned to to back off some and put a hard end to the day. I can easily put more hours into my job than ever before remotely than I could going into the office. It is up to companies to learn how to work with their employees. Honestly, it takes creative workers and employers to benefit, the companies that are the future and that are building the future will learn to best utilize their remote workforce.

Yes! Nuclear reactor needs enriched fuel and produces heat. You connect water and it will turn it to steam that you can pipe to do what you want. Usually you want to use it in turbines for electricity production, but you can also use it for desalination, or in oil refinery.

If you don't supply water to the operational reactor, it overheats, and you know what that means... Just kidding, no explosions (yet), it just gets damaged and you loose all loaded fuel.

What dose is it neurotoxic? How do we know that?

The studies I'm aware of were done on mice, which have a significantly different metabolism than humans. Not to mention there has been no mention of neurotoxicity from the current MAPS studies.

> The comment you're replying to is not discrediting that. They are just saying that it needs to be more than just creating an emotional connection.

Specifically, the OP is saying that great art "has to advance language/thought/culture" in addition to having an emotional connection. The problem is that this is very much a rear-view mirror perspective.

Great art doesn’t have to do much of anything except connect the audience with the human experience and condition. And that’s fundamentally an emotional connection.

Advancing language, art, and culture is a meta-perspective about the significance of an artwork that comes much later. It is not a requirement of great art.

Great art is timeless because it connects us emotionally to the human condition—an unchanging experience through the centuries that reaches out beyond time and place.

And yet, while it is certainly true that some great art does "advance" aspects of our culture—Shakespeare is widely known to have contributed an enormous amount to the English language, for example—the greatness of Shakespeare doesn’t rest on this laurel, but rather its unchanging, persistent, emotional connection to the human condition across time.

In other words, great art taps into the timeless, eternal space of our shared lives that is always true, and that reaches out and touches upon everyone, everywhere, in every time. It is this universal appeal that makes it great.

The fact is, the human experience hasn’t really changed that much in the last 10,000 years, and great art taps into this unchanging set of idealized forms.
This takes an agonizing amount of vertical space to discuss the fundamental concept of different numeric types and how literals are mapped to them (assuming they do get to the part about literals - I didn't get that far). It's not because the author is long-winded, but because they are pushing the "cute bantering dialogue" style of writing to its logical extreme.
Your examples are well done, kudos.

Swith'eil Aerveid, which I took to be the Elven city, immediately made me think of Morrowind. I think it's a perfectly fitting name for a Dunmer or Dunmer city. Maybe a dwarven ruin.

It is an old idea with reactive graph created at runtime and direct bindings (knockout.js, etc), but as always, implementation is way more important than some abstract idea, and ~6 years ago Adam showed that it is actually possible to implement this idea quite efficiently (S.js+Surplus). Then Ryan started working on Solid.js and it became one of the most popular implementation of this idea.

There are a lot of things that I don't like in Solid.js implementation, like it seems that he still don't care about performance in general and only focuses on getting high score in js-framework-benchmark (optimizing library for two cases: DOM template cloning and one/many-to-one reactive bindings). But I believe that it is not something that is inherently wrong with an idea and there are a lot of room for improvements in implementations.

I guess the main tradeoff with such idea is that it has a slightly higher learning curve than something like React with its top-down recompute/rerender approach (as long as we don't care about performance). But when we start to add reactive systems to react/svelte/etc to improve performance, at that point it becomes more complex than just using UI library specifically designed for reactive system.

Right now I am trying some experiments with new algorithms and datastructures for reactive system, that I specifically designed for UI problem space, to actually beat vdom implementations in microbenchmarks that were heavily biased towards vdom-like libraries (reimplementing top-down dataflow+diffing in reactive system with derived computations, it is super useful when building something like https://lexical.dev/ )

EDIT: Also, in such libraries it becomes quite hard to implement features like reparenting or DOM subtree recycling. But it seems that nobody cares about reparenting in web UI libraries (Flutter supports reparenting). DOM subtree recycling is quite useful in use cases with occlusion culling (virtual lists), but it should be optional with different strategies to reclaim memory (not how it is done in Imba library).
Inflation is caused by too little capacity
Probably because of https://basicattentiontoken.org/

For a group that's largely bet their fortunes on internet companies, it's kind of funny that anything crypto is so toxic here, but that's probably the reason.

The actual browser is under good technical stewardship from what I know. It's essentially not-evil Chrome with an optional crypto-for-ads monetization model, a crypto wallet, and some primitive default privacy and adblocking tools.

It suffers from the same technical deficiencies as Chrome (installing addons is harder than it should be, addon API is weak compared to firefox, Google controls the "store" for extensions), but I'd recommend it over any other Chromium-based browser.
I would really love to use Kagi, but the only thing holding me back is being able to type in my query from the Safari url/omni/mega/awesome/whatever-it-is-called bar. There are hacks to redirect search engines to Kagi but that adds extra waiting time and from my experience removes the ability to fallback to a different search engine. I know that this behavior is one that Apple forbids changes to and that I could get around this by using Orion or a different browser, but I use the Safari Tab Groups feature frequently which AFAIK, Orion does not have.

I did use both products in their closed beta forms, and I genuinely enjoyed using them, but inertia kept me on Apple's browser. Great to see the positivity in the thread!

Edit: it seems they've fixed my gripes with Kagi search in Safari since the last time I used it! Just paid for premium!
ticks, rats, snakes, mosquitoes

there’s a reason we mow the grass as a society.
My theory is that it's to dissuade less advanced spammers/fraudsters who use manually-created, consumer-grade email addresses that take time & effort to create, thus rejecting them could actually slow them down or piss them off enough to give up.

The intent is probably to ban spam/free trial abuse or obviously-incorrect addresses (though for the latter case why not just send a verification email).

I do not know whether age has an effect on violin sound. Highly plausible that it does through a multitude of ways.

But this:

> Over time, vibrating wood with oscillating strings, it changes the wood, the atoms in the wood will literally eventually align in such a way that the wooden pieces themselves become tuned to specific complimentary frequencies,

This is a textbook case of bullshit. A clasical case of using scientific words to sound more convincing.

What you are claiming is literally that wood cristalises. Unless you actually have research with electron-microscope pictures to demonstrate such a claim, you are talking crap and spewing it with confidence.

"atoms in the wood will literally eventually align" is analogous to to homeopathy. Compare "The water molecules in the glass of water vibrate according the energy level of the information of the message you shout at it."

Any reason you are running the filters within the `mpv` command vs within the `ffmpeg` command? I honestly have no idea which way is "better" if any, I think underneath both actually use `libavfilter` library?
Examples:

- University labs, where they hire full time staff (not just students) to support ongoing projects.

- Non-profits, who usually handle lots of data, or political parties (usually crazy and fast-paced, but can be fun)

I work in a small company (co-op) co-founded with colleagues of previous gigs. Our clients are mostly nonprofits and political parties. Our clients do really nice things and most are fun to work with (as long as one can stomach that most orgs have their baggage). It wasn't easy to start, but now we have way too much work and it pays well.

"Completely failed" as in nobody could possibly launch a constellation that large in the 80s and 90s, yes. The economics of massive constellations have changed, one already has thousands of satellites in orbit.

Friend works for real estate group that provides consulting services for companies looking to move into a new area.

Friend can drag a box around any area down to the block and see how many people visit that area, what part of the city they came from to get there, where they went to next, average income, etc etc etc

We all know we are being tracked but seeing him use his software was still shocking. Apparently all data is from 3rd party apps and they charge $30k++ for their real estate analysis service. Who knows how much they pay for the actual data or how many times over it’s sold. It’s all anonymous but adding just a small bit of information about an individual and pretty easy to figure out and track them even off this anonymized 3rd party data.

Scary hours
> But it costs us about $1 to process 80 searches.

> At $10/month, the price does not even cover our cost for average use, and we are basically betting that average use will go down a bit with time because during beta people may be searching more than normal

Oh. I'd say that if I switched to Kagi as to the main search engine, I would increase the number of searches I make. And I definitely do many dozens a day. Their reported beta-testers usage is 30 / day. At their current expense level, that would be $116.25 / mo.

I wonder how can this be sustainable. Maybe they expect a large number of paying users who do 2-3 searches a day.
