The Tesla bull will say that Tesla’s ML has gotten so good that these top-shelf human curators are now unnecessary, and can be outsourced or dispensed with entirely. The Tesla bear will counter that this is merely to keep up appearances; it looks a hell of a lot better to fire data curators over machine learning engineers, even if the former are still just as (if not more!) necessary as the latter.

OP is talking about how if kids learn to be bilingual+ at an early enough age then it makes learning languages that much more easier. This is compared to people who speak one language and try to acquire a second but start in, for example, middle school or later. People in the second boat are at a significant disadvantage. It's a well-studied area and one way of picking up second languages earlier is via peers at an early age as well.

It doesn't mean your points are invalid, but in general people like your kids are just going to be way better at learning language.

IMHO, it's almost cruel that many colleges expect all students to fulfill a 2 year foreign language requirement, even if they have no prior exposure or education. You end up with language learning that is watered down and generally a waste of the learner's time, in addition to making their education more expensive.
>Do people get credit cards just to pay to watch something online?

People already have credit/debit cards. That was my point. How else have people been purchasing internet porn for the couple decades prior to crypto taking off?

>With crypto is the same.

No, it's not because most people do not have the slightest clue how to set up a crypto wallet meanwhile are kind of required by society to already know how to use a credit/debit card to make purchases.

All the Atari 8-bit computers sold way less than Commodore 128s sold so there's hardly any value in mentioning them.

Four million units for the Ataris in the U.S. versus 5.7 million for the C-128 worldwide.

Seems pretty significant to me, especially compared with other 8-bit computers that people are always talking about on HN:

- BBC Micro: 1.5 million

- Sinclair ZX: 5 million

- Apple ][: 4 million
Passkeys are such a great idea that is for sure going to be ruined by implementers clinging stupidly hard to their “secure enclaves” making them a huge PITA to actually use.

It should be as simple as storing your private keys in your password manager, browser keychain, in a folder, or USB stick, Yubikey, or anywhere the user damn well pleases.

You should be able to easily export presigned tickets for recovery, support CA style auth for advanced users, and support passcode challenges (ie site gives you a short code you type in and your vault spits out a code) for cases where getting the two devices to talk directly is hard.
This is what consultancies do all the time.
Hey, thanks! I'll take a look; I've been appreciating your work for decades and didn't realize you'd already gotten your Ph.D. Congratulations!

t0-t31 and i0-i31 do sound very similar, although off the cuff it sounds like you're designing for a processor about two or three orders of magnitude larger, like 400,000 to 4 million transistors rather than 4000.

The reason I was thinking XORs instead of adders is that if you have, say, 16-bit addresses computed from a 16-bit base pointer and a 5-bit offset, it's true that you only need five full adders, but you still need 11 more bits of carry chain (or 10 bits if your 16-bit addresses address bytes and your offset units are 16-bit words, as is usual in Smalltalk-80).
> What the supreme's did in practice was look for abstruse excuses to justify changing.

Roe v. Wade was the abstruse excuse to justify the desired outcome. It was effectively legislating from the bench.

> First, all the republicans claimed they would follow precedent unless there was a really good reason.

I think a prior court precedent being unconstitutional is a really good reason.

> They now claim the limits of our rights were set in 1868.

Where did get this idea? From the actual opinion of Dobbs:

> In arguing for a constitutional right to abortion that would override the people’s choices in the democratic process, the plaintiff Jackson Women’s Health Organization and its amici emphasize that the Constitution does not freeze the American people’s rights as of 1791 or 1868. I fully agree. To begin, I agree that constitutional rights ap- ply to situations that were unforeseen in 1791 or 1868— such as applying the First Amendment to the Internet or the Fourth Amendment to cars. Moreover, the Constitution authorizes the creation of new rights—state and federal, statutory and constitutional. But when it comes to creating new rights, the Constitution directs the people to the various processes of democratic self-government contemplated by the Constitution—state legislation, state constitutional amendments, federal legislation, and federal constitutional amendments.

What it says is that the Supreme Court is not authorized by the Constitution to grant new rights. This is 100% correct. Legislative processes are the means that should be employed to accomplish this.

For years, according to the complaint, it was Walmart’s stated policy for its employees to issue payouts even in the case of a suspicious money transfer, making it easy for scammers to retrieve fraud proceeds at a Walmart location. The complaint cites a Walmart reference guide for employees that stated: “If you suspect fraud, complete the transaction.”

In a lot of academic fields it's assumed that a researcher really understands their stuff to first principles.

I think it's akin to fizz buzz; it'll weed out people who really don't know what they're doing but it won't tell you too much about those who do it without trouble.

Having had direct experience with Japan, South Korea and Thailand, it's also really difficult to overstate just how much more cost effective mundane medical treatments can be. Things that would bankrupt you in certain countries are minor inconveniences in others. I don't have experience with later life healthcare as of yet but for the normal stuff prior to that, I will say that the medical systems of Asia appear to be vastly superior to their first world Western counterparts.

Definitely for those with particular medical requirements, these should be factored into your logistics planning for your destination. Information is typically abundant.

It really drives home just how fundamentally broken certain healthcare structures actually are.

I think it's more the latter: using Postgres for relatively simple workloads really isn't any more challenging than using something like MySQL, but then Postgres also supports more complex setups when you need it.

I agree that they shouldn't be able to do this. I think once businesses become too big then they should have to serve all customers.

This is one type of regulation that I think needs to be more common. When the governments take the choice of playing politics with their customers away from large companies, then those companies can't be pressured into doing so by activists.

My understanding is the space shuttle was originally slated to have less cargo space but the airforce demanded more cargo space for reasons they never fully elaborated on. It was speculated they might’ve wanted their own vehicle to capture satellites or launch a space weapon. So the Soviet Union’s paranoia did have some justification. With that said, at least as far as we know, the space shuttle was never used for such things.

As a furry: what's actually hilarious about these regulations is that they describe the exact opposite of a common sentiment within the furry fandom -- specifically, that erotic artwork containing non-anthropomorphic animals (i.e. without the "human-like characteristics" that Visa is concerned about) is "bestiality" and inappropriate, but similar artwork with anthromorphic animals is acceptable.

> Even when defensive use of guns is effective in averting death or injury for the gun user in cases of crime, it is still possible that keeping a gun in the home or carrying a gun in public—concealed or open carry—may have a different net effect on the rate of injury. For example, if gun ownership raises the risk of suicide, homicide, or the use of weapons by those who invade the homes of gun owners, this could cancel or outweigh the beneficial effects of defensive gun use (Kellermann et al., 1992, 1993, 1995). Although some early studies were published that relate to this issue, they were not conclusive, and this is a sufficiently important question that it merits additional, careful exploration.

It's important to remember, in the context of this obviously intentionally vague language, that until 2018 the CDC was explicitly prohibited from conducting research into the statistics of gun violence by the Dickey Amendment, and has only published cursory data in the few years since that research ban was abolished. But -- that language still remains in legislative force: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2018/03/22/...

> Language in the report accompanying the bill clarifying that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can, in fact, conduct research into gun violence. A long-standing rider known as the Dickey Amendment, which states that no CDC funds “may be used to advocate or promote gun control,” has been interpreted in the past to bar such research. The amendment itself remains.

The buran did some cool things though. It took off, orbited the earth twice, then landed pretty close to target completely remotely. Apparently it only lost like 8 heat tiles on that flight too.

You mean crypto for porn payments, or crypto in general?

If crypto is not only accepted on basically all porn websites, but also the only option in many of them, then I'd say adoption is quite good. If PornHub accepts only crypto, and (someone on this post claimed) that half of their income comes from subscribers, then a significant amount of people must be using crypto to pay for porn.

We probably just don't hear about it because people are ashamed of spending money on porn.

How do you even define "life" biologically? Two "living" things combine to form a fetus, and just a few months down the line none of the physical matter of those living things still comprises the growing fetus.

I use vim (text editor), curl (download from internet (many protocols) and can be piped; can also send), xclip (command-line clipboard access by pipes), dc (calculation), grep, 7z (supports many file formats), and the SQLite command shell. I also use less, bash, gcc, gdb, valgrind, dosbox, Ghostscript, and many others. I also wrote my own programs for some things; for example, I have my own set of programs for dealing with picture files (Farbfeld Utilities), but I also have ImageMagick in case of something that Farbfeld Utilities does not currently do; I have made programs for other things too. (Of course, I use many other programs too.) (Unfortunately, some of them use Unicode even though I do not want them to (others do not have that problem), and sometimes requires writing extra code to work around them (other times I am working only with ASCII and it is not a problem).)
Gun registries only exist to support eventual confiscation via further erosion of 2A rights, such as red flag laws, assault weapons bans, and other restrictions on ownership.
