It's easily wired into my terminal, so there's some console commands I use for stuff.

1. Explain like I'm 5: I can copy out parts of an academic/technical paper and find out what all the big words really mean. It cuts out lots of details.

2. Parse documents from one format to another. Copywriting team puts stuff in a Google Sheet, which produces artifacts like """ when copied out. These are converted into a json format with our own "custom markdown". Problem is we have two platforms who developed the markdown their own way, e.g. team A does color as <color="#123456"> and team B does it as [#123456]. It's tedious to do it manually, but perfect for GPT-3.

3. Text highlights for karaoke lyrics.

4. I run a side project at http://random-character.com 80% of the work is translating attributes like "brave" into something more detailed. My brain translates it to "He doesn't fear death and is happy to get into fights"

GPT-3 will define it as "He loved to fight. His favorite game was to seek out the most powerful being he could find and challenge them. He had no fear of death, only a joy for the challenge, and the thrill of victory. He would always say he would never have enough of fighting, and his friends agreed."

5. Make poems out of a given topic or content, useful for writing code reviews.

6. Write something in the tone of another person or character.

It's got all the basic stuff you need that comes with other sliders,

* touch support, drag, swipe

* custom config for different media devices

* ability to customize a lot of stuff -> see https://blaze-slider.dev/docs/category/api

Now here's what it CAN't do:

* NO "fancy" effects like https://triple-slider.uiinitiative.com/

* NO "Full" RTL support as of V1.0 (it works, but just like LTR)

* NO "Virtual Slides"

I may end up adding this features in V2, but not at the cost of performance. If it slows down the library - I won't do it.
On your point re market power, from Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox.

> These missteps suggest a failure to appreciate two critical aspects of Amazon’s practices: (1) how steep discounting by a firm on a platform-based product creates a higher risk that the firm will generate monopoly power than discounting on non-platform goods and (2) the multiple ways Amazon could recoup losses in ways other than raising the price of the same e-books that it discounted.

> On the first point, the government argued that Amazon was not engaging in predation because in the aggregate,Amazon’s e-books business was profitable. This perspective overlooks how heavy losses on particular lines of e-books (bestsellers, for example, or new releases) may have thwarted competition, even if the e-books business as a whole was profitable. That the DOJ chose to define the relevant market as e-books—rather than as specific lines, like bestseller e-books—reflects a deeper mistake: the failure to recognize how the economics of platform-based products differ in crucial ways from non-platform goods. 254 As a result, the DOJ analyzed the e-book market as it would the market for physical books.

> One indication of this failure to appreciate the difference between physical books and e-books is that the government and Judge Cote treated Amazon’s below-cost pricing as loss leading,255 rather than as predatory pricing.256 The difference between loss leading and predatory pricing is not spelled out in law, but the distinction turns on the nature of the below-cost pricing, specifically its intensity and the intent motivating it. Judge Cote’s use of “loss leading” revealed a view that “Amazon’s below-cost pricing was (a) selective rather than pervasive, and (b) not intended to generate monopoly power.”257 On this view, Amazon’s aim was to trigger additional sales of other products sold by Amazon, rather than to drive out competing e-book sellers and acquire the power to increase e-book prices.258 In other words, because Amazon’s alleged short-term aim was to sell more e-readers and e-books—rather than to harm its rivals and raise prices—its conduct is considered loss leading rather than predatory pricing. What both the DOJ and the district court missed, however, is the way in which below-cost pricing in this instance entrenched and reinforced Amazon’s dominance in ways that loss leading by physical retailers does not.

Peter Turchin likes to cast himself as a bit of a rebel "against the establishment", despite the fact that he's one of the most prominent academics in that establishment. What you are understanding from that statement is, unsurprisingly, very uncontroversial. To understand what Turchin is actually saying though, it's worth framing the underlying paper:

Turchin is a big advocate of something he calls cliodynamics, which is essentially psychohistory. One of the fundamental assumptions underlying it is that all of human history obeys uniformitarian rules and thus figuring out those rules is simply a matter of having enough data. So, he's spent the past while gathering a dataset and in this paper does PCA against it to find the variables that are most correlated with his measure of social complexity.

Where most people would find issue is with the underlying assumptions there. A lot of people don't agree that human history obeys uniformitarian rules and if they do, they don't necessarily agree with lumping different societies together in a PCA.

Yes, this is why malloc() can't actually be implemented in C. Actual implementations of it exist because of special compiler dispensation, or mostly that the callers and implementations are in separate libraries so the implementation isn't visible to the caller.

There's no need to believe, it's all public data and many thousands traders/bots are using those to trade every day... if the orders were fake it would be known and arbitraged very quickly.

The most obvious one to me is what if you change your mind?

What if 90% of these objects should be compactly slab allocated, but you also run small, very disjointed numbers of them through an editor or an undo list or whatever and so they need to live separate from this array?

I don't know what the answer is, but I feel like a few good candidates will come out of the conversations started by Rust. You can't replace an object with a new object while it's globally readable. But if you own the parent object, you can rewrite it however you want, or whichever ways are compatible with the other invariants you want for the system, like max time per frame or response time.
Sad and depressing when things die, especially without notice, but that's life.

I have a blog, https://langsoul.com, that could die anytime. After all, sites are a lot of work and only a few make anything worthwhile to continue.

Not to mention, if I were to suddenly get ill, what then? Do I write into my will to launch a farewell blog post?

I think there was this internet cult that maintained their site for over 20 years from the leaders death. It required alive cult members to keep it alive.

Unfortunately I don't have cult members, nor funds to start a trust to keep the site going.
This appears to be in reference to Article 7.3 of the applicable directive:

Vague English summary here (the Sample story simply says "the 14 day cooling off period doesn't apply to concert ticket purchases" which seems insufficiently precise).

https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/gua...
people didn't want to pay to maintain the sites, so they sort of died out largely (lots still around but not like it used to be) and many of the users moved to:

1) Reddit
2) Facebook
3) Discord

Lots of them just disappeared and never 're-appeared' anywhere, as the interest in paying to maintain them just died out.

Personally I prefer reddit to the other 2, as its searchable, but overall the web feels a lot less rich than it did when forums were more popular and niche knowledge seemed more common without onerous reddit/facebook/discord moderating.

Hot water pipes don't have the same potability guarantees as the cold pipes, so this practice would unnecessarily increase your risk of poisoning.
Just looked at your submission. Your "Prooftoys" link is not clickable! It also doesn't have the "Show HN" phrase at the beginning.

Maybe resubmit as a link with a title something like "Show HN: Simple Proof System for Beginners" (look at previous "Show HN" posts) and add the text which will show up as a comment.
wouldn't the refrigerator have to work a lot harder in that case to remove the extra heat? doesn't seem beneficial from an energy use perspective, considering you have to pay to heat the water, then cool it again.
> Nothing about covid was known from the start besides the structure of the virus.

We had evidence of airborne spread very soon after the virus broke out of China. Passengers of the cruise ship Diamond Princess were quarantined in their cabins and the virus continued to spread from cabin to cabin.

Cloth face masks are effective when a virus has a droplet based spread, like the flu. They are not effective when a virus is airborne.

Look at how flu cases hit record lows globally, while Covid continued to spread like wildfire.

I searched for "mass" and "dens" and didn't find anyone mentioning this, so: Note that hot water is less dense than cold water. Therefore, an "equal volume" of hot water contains less mass than the same volume of cold water. The article mentions 35°C vs 100°C; going by https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/sci... and interpolating, it looks like the density difference would be about 3.6%. That seems worth mentioning, even if it's not a large effect.

Also, if some of the water starts at 100°C, then presumably some of it will evaporate, and one should measure how much remains... The article does mention this possibility, though it doesn't evaluate or quantify it.

UK Consumer Contract law has a 14-day cancellation period.

For digital goods, the legislation states:

——

Under a contract for the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium, the trader must not begin supply of the digital content before the end of the cancellation period provided for in regulation 30(1), unless—

(a)the consumer has given express consent, and

(b)the consumer has acknowledged that the right to cancel the contract under regulation 29(1) will be lost.

——

Therefore, Nintendo is stating that the 14-day cancellation period is to be waived, and digital goods are to be deemed as supplied immediately upon purchase.
They can be in but you cannot. Unless equal access why allow.

Really? I can't see how a good faith reading would lead you to think knowing the outcome of a situation having seen that situation and outcome before is in any way congruent with being able to predict an unseen situation given information strictly from before that situation.

I don't really see why I would respond further, that's pretty entry-level logic.
Hot water molecules move more than cold water so the area exposed to cooling get more molecules than a cold water since their molecules are almost sleeping because it's cold.
Put in a report with the ACCC. They’re usually very interested to hear your story and they almost always follow up with a company. I’ve had many problems solved just be reporting it, getting a case number, then calling the company back and giving the them case number. Usually gets their attention
Whether or not something is acceptable quality is not up to Nintendo, right? Otherwise it would be a weird conflict of interest that Nintendo would set the standards for their own store with no recourse for the consumer.
> Musk needs deregulation to keep autopilot on the market and Tesla on the road.

Wait, what? Tesla is only still a company because of EV credits from Democrats. Several of his companies would still hugely benefit from Democratic tax credits for clean energy and batteries, too. He has plenty to gain from Democrats.

I think his politics are more about Covid and pro-labor regulations than anything else. I don't think they're good business for him in the long-run, especially as he has started to turn off a lot of the people who should be enthusiastic EV customers.

As far as I can tell, the 'structure of arrays' design pattern appeared in the game development world some time around 1998-2005. Columnar layouts have been known for upwards of 50 years now, as has the general notion that the way you lay out and represent your data matters and can be adjusted at will for your use cases. Many different layouts and optimisation structures are known and have been used, esp. in databases.

I can now read and exercise thanks to ebooks. Whaa? Typically in the evening/night I walk quickly while reading from my ebook screen, then sprint until I'm about to burst or collapse, resume reading and walking fast until I'm ready to sprint again, then read&walk again, repeating this for 30 minutes to over an hour. It's great! No way I could do it with a regular paperback.
The story of Phil Katz (the PK in PKZIP) is a fascinating and very sad one: https://web.archive.org/web/20000829071343/http://www2.jsonl...
It is fascinating, as is the progress in dating techniques (based on radioactive half-lives which make the impossible possible. I've not seen that story told anywhere. Advances in tree-dating, DNA recovery, and correlations with archaeo-astronomy as well. Fifty years ago it was all sci-fi.

Negativity about humankind goes back at least as far as written history. (The ancient Romans and Greeks were full of it.) Lots of room for improvement (well-noted in the early 20th-century) as we continue to share each others' stories.

A fairly obvious outcome with exponential growth - eventually there would be too many mice and bad things would happen. The fact the the population eventually went to zero is somewhat interesting but it would be necessary to run the experiment many times to draw any conclusions on that point. Overall the knowledge gained was not nearly worth the suffering that the mice endured.

> There's no need to believe, it's all public data

Well I don't think you quite imagine the sheer amount of requirements a regulated exchange has to through.

Though I don't think major crypto exchanges (Binance, Coinbase,...) are blatantly cheating per se, they are still light years away from having the same level of compliance as traditional SEC regulated exchanges.

> if the orders were fake it would be known

Also, you seem to only consider obvious fraudulent behaviors, but there are literally millions of ways to exploit order flow when you're an exchange or broker, that are completely impossible to see from the outside.
> They think that government will guarantee income of their customers. As is customary, for nukes.

Actually, you think they think. Do you have any evidence though?

Because I have evidence of the contrary.

They are a publicly traded company. They need to disclose their business rationale in their SEC filings, which are posted online [1]. If they lie in their statements, they are liable to go to prison (like the CEO and CFO of Enron). And they clearly are at risk of a class action lawsuit. It is very unlikely you'll find intentional outright lies, or intentional material omissions in SEC filings, not just in the case of NuScale, but of all publicly traded companies in general.

So, I took a look at their more important filings, e.g. [2]. The statement about Government funds is on page 209:

UAMPS, our first customer, has received a $1.4 billion DOE cost-share award to support deployment of a NuScale LLC VOYGR-6 power plant.

Such a plant has a capacity of 0.5 GW. $1.4 billion is not unreasonable at all for 0.5 GW, it is even competitive with solar (the utility-scale cost of solar is about $1 BN/GW, but the capacity factor is only about 30%, so you end up with a cost of about the same capital cost for 1 GWh, but nuclear is steady, while solar is not). You will not find any mention that NuScale thinks they can extract more than that from the Government. Instead you'll find the opposite:

We may be unable to charge UAMPS, our first customer, for some costs we have incurred and we may be required to reimburse UAMPS if we fail to achieve specified performance measures.

Where do you get your information? This is not even remotely close to being a true statement.

The average European doesn't know what Taiwan is, where Taiwan is, and couldn't care less if China invaded it, as long as they keep buying expensive German cars and luxury French handbags.

The EU has no interest or capability to do anything in China except make more money. To bring my point home, no EU country even has a navy capable of doing anything in the pacific without extreme US support.

US is the only country in the world that cares or has any chance of keeping China in check. It will be a success if EU nations can prevent the EU from collapsing and try not to insult and backstab the US all the time, just like most Europeans are currently trying to do to Ukraine, because Russian gas & oil is more important to them than Ukrainian lives.

There's some truth for you.
I think you may be in the wrong thread?

Sure you can. This is the whole point of smalltalk become: and common lisp CHANGE-CLASS.
I disagree. In hierarchies, people at the top aren't making every decision (though some try). Decision-making has to be spread out.
I agree with your comment, and I would like to build on something you said:

> resist buying into the impoverished ideas of the world you were born into.

Instead of “resist”, I might instead say, “see clearly” or “recognise” that these concepts are based on fiction, ultimately (like most concepts). They are useful tools, but we try to make them outlast their purpose. That is when they take over our minds and our lives.

When we observe with absolute attention and awareness, the hollowness of these concepts becomes clear and resisting them won’t even be necessary because we realise there is nothing to resist.
> The anti-IDE crowd seems to like to pick on Java.

It's largely because Java is verbose. Because of that, the java ecosystem continues to produce frameworks and libraries that make it easier for programmers to convolute their code behind functionally opaque interfaces, eg Spring, Lombok, etc. which also happen to provide "solutions" to reducing repetitive or traditionally verbose code.

We have computers to automate processes, primarily.
Not using computers to do rote inspection (like argument intellisense or class method discovery), is backward and it helps a great deal until you start using pre-processor annotations which are a series of programs that run before your program is run. 1 step forward, 1 step back.

Ofc there are still people who use handmade nails and leaves for toilet paper and they insist it's better than Java. I'm not sure they are wrong.
There's so many issues as to why this is the case, but ultimately it all boils down to the fact that there is zero repercussions for bad cops.

As others mentioned, the police actively filter out smart cops from the ranks. They viciously pull rank around and protect bad cops, and oust any cops that threaten said bad cops. Then when they refuse to do their job, we reward them by paying them more. Giving them larger budgets. Giving them more toys to wave around.

Like here in Austin the police are useless. You can report a crime with video evidence of the person and they do nothing. Look at Uvalde where they refused to even pretend to be the heroes they're portrayed as and the budget they have there is insane. It's exceedingly frustrating when every single encounter you've had with the police is outright negative and nothing is being done to fix it.
