My reasoning has always been that an article is a separable entity, which can do without the given context. (E.g., you can share it, or you can present multiple of them in varying order.) So a document may have sections, which may include articles, which in turn include sections, like the table of contents, a section of images, etc. So there's no distinctive hierarchy to them, as each may contain the other. (Mind that this is somewhat different from the use of articles in legal documents, which are integral elements of that document and lose meaning, if provided out of context.)

While any such interpretation is somewhat funny in the context of the parent comment, it may still turn out useful. E.g., if we were to scrape any content from an existing site in order to reintegrate it for a relaunch or a similar purpose.

And, as we're at it, a div is really just a technical means for applying something to a group of elements (e.g., in it's a original use, an attribute for centered text presentation), think of it as blocks in programming. Nothing semantic to see here, keep calm and carry on…

BTW, thanks for mentioning the hgroup, which is often overlooked, but really makes sense, when combining headings and subheadings, which are to be understood as a single item (like the head of an article, yes, an article in the common sense).
> It’s only marginally less useful to actual biology than full on X-ray structures anyway.

I'm not sure what you're implying here. Are you saying both types of structures are useful, but not as useful as the hype suggests, or that an X-Ray Crystal (XRC) and low confidence structures are both very useful with the XRC being marginally more so?

An XRC structure is great, but it's a very (very) long way from getting me to a drug. Observe the long history of fully crystalized proteins still lacking a good drug. Or this piece on the general failure of purely structure guided efforts in drug discovery for COVID (https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/virtual-screening-...). I think this tech will certainly be helpful, but for most problems I don't see it being better than a slightly-more-than-marginal gain in our ability to find medicines.

Edit: To clarify, if the current state of the field is "given a well understood structure, I often still can't find a good medicine without doing a ton of screening experiments" then it's hard to see how much this helps us. I can also see several ways in which a less than accurate structure could be very misleading.

FWIW I can see a few ways in which it could be very useful for hypothesis generation too, but we're still talking pretty early stage basic science work with lots of caveats.

There are many ways to think about the Kalman filter. Here are a few that I like:

* You can think of it as a Bayesian update process for linear Gaussian systems. That is: given a prior belief of the state of a system (and an uncertainty about that belief), and a measurement about the system (and uncertainty about that measurement), the Kalman filter tells you how to combine the prior with the measurement. This is very hard to do in general, but has an exact solution if your system is Linear-Gaussian. That's magical!

* You can also think of it as a "better way to average". If I gave you two quantities that reflected some "true" value and asked you what the true value was, you would probably average them. The Kalman filter does you one better, because it tells you to average the two quantities weighted by how confident you feel about each one.

* If you like control theory, you can think of the the Kalman filter as the dual of the Linear-Quadratic Regulator. That is, the KF is the optimal state estimator for Linear Gaussian systems in the same way that the LQR is the optimal (minimum cost) controller for LG systems. It's also worth pointing out that if the system you are estimating is being controlled, the KF can incorporate control inputs as well!
It’s an impossible situation. We are expecting website owners and screen reader companies to come to some kind of consensus without ever collaborating or establishing a standards.

And just expecting that vaguely guessing what the other wants will work.
I bought a OnePlus 3 when it was the cool underdog phone for $450. That was 6 years ago. After 5.5 years the battery started draining faster than usual so I replaced it. The only reason I had to switch phones was because my children chewed and drooled all over it, destroying the volume buttons.

With such a solid phone, I went back to oneplus to get the latest and greatest. So much has changed in this time spam. In their latest phone, they don't even have the alert slider. I reluctantly got the 9 pro.

There were use cases with gp2 where one would over provision capacity to get IOPS. gp3 let you just dial up IOPS which was much cheaper than over provisioning. This may seem a corner case, but it was moderately common.

Not saying you're necessarily wrong, but... why? What in the book points you to that conclusion?
Because it's being presented as something that it isn't. It's a better way to analyze data that we got experimentally, and to predict how new data will fit into what we know. It's not de novo understanding, which is the holy grail and what the field is ultimately trying to accomplish. It's Tesla's adaptive cruise control being sold as full self driving. Yes, they are close things - one is an approximation of the other, but being really really good at adaptive cruise control has basically zero carryover to full self driving. FSD isn't a linear progression from adaptive cruise control, and understanding how proteins fold isn't a linear progression from AlphaFold sequence homology/homology modeling. It's not even close to the same thing, AlphaFold doesn't even move the needle for our understanding of how proteins fold, and yet it's sucking all the air out of the conversation by presenting itself like it solved this problem.

It's a really good, fancy model completely reliant on data we already have empirically (and therefore subject to all the same biases as well).
Looks like a decent android phone, but ... what makes this special and HN front-page worthy?
Five reasons (probably bad reasons):

Context: For a long time I stayed on my iPhone 6, trying to extract every last bit of value from it (replaced the screen 1x and the battery 2x) before it was no longer getting updates (I had it 6 years).

1. The cognitive overhead of trying to extract every last dollar is greater than $1 a day. In the back of my mind I kept going back and forth, do I upgrade the battery again, or switch to a newer $1000 phone? If I include the time and money ($100 every 2 years - $0.14 per day for the battery; $150 every 3 yeas - $0.14 per day for the screen) actually spent getting the phone fixed, then the upgrade program is a no brainer winner.

2. The improvements were noticeable! Significantly. When I got my iPhone 11 Pro after giving away my iPhone 6, my laptop usage reduced by 75% (I had been thinking of buying a new laptop - the iPhone purchase saved me money overall).

3. I stayed on my iPhone 6 because "I just didn't believe X, Y, or Z was actually worth the upgrade". For $1.5 per day (vs $0.3) for a tool able to save me $5-10 per day, every day, why ever lag behind? What if the 14 is able to save me $15 per day because of X, Y, or Z but "I just don't believe it" and miss out on years worth of "savings".

4. Even without everything I've said prior, I can afford the $1.5 per day, even for frivolous reasons. When my iPhone, a tool, costs the same as one bubble tea / fancy latte a week, I'd rather reduce my cafe visits slightly and use the best version of the tools that are known to improve my life.

5. There is still a lot more iPhones can improve on, and I would like them to improve. I specifically also buy the Pro because I view "giving Apple that margin" as a "vote with my wallet" that there is a market for a more feature-rich iPhone can do next year and the more my vote counts.

This is the general flaw with plausible deniability cryptosystems. While it sounds like you could use it to still hide secrets when forced to hand over your keys, the flipside is that you can never convince any entity that you have actually given them all of the keys.

That is exactly how this conspiracy theory is being employed. China is being punished because of a made-up story that is politically advantageous to spread. This is similar to Russia saying that Ukraine is infested with Nazis.

Note: ex-AWS employee

The problem with the above narrative in this case (which I agree is generally true), is that's not what AWS did. If you look at the announcement history shared in a sibling comment you'll see that so much of it happened long before the cloud wars really heated up. I find that particularly curious. Is that because margins used to be very very fat and AWS just trimmed them down as economies of scale allowed in an attempt to (unsuccessfully) stave off competition? Is it just coincidence that the system found a natural level of margin efficiency right around when competitive pressures started to ramp up? Something else?

I have zero insight on why it has played out this way. I'd love to know though.
Not yet, but it's something we can definitely accommodate. If you just send us a link to a .qcow2 or .img file that's a cloud image configured with DHCP, we'll be able to set you up in no time :)

You have to admit that there is some gap between "I want the latest re-rounded corners on app icons" (which fits into that category neatly) and "I don't want 4 years of unpatched 0-days still open on my phone" (which I'd argue does not).
People seem to underestimate the degree to which political groups internalize their opponents arguments, or even occasionally swap sides. For every dispute in the current moment, I could identify many more prior disputes where one group now agrees with their opponent's original claim. (Of course, this begs the question of group continuity, but either way the consequence is the same--partisan differences generally don't grow unbounded.)

American conservatives today have internalized many mid-20th century liberal civil rights arguments, especially regarding 1st Amendment jurisprudence. Conversely, over the past several decades conservatives have been so successful in selling constitutional Originalism that liberals now reflexively (and without any sense of irony) resort to making Originalist claims. Indeed, one reason conservatives don't realize they've adopted what not too long ago were extremely far left beliefs is because of exhaustive efforts to re-contextualize them in terms of newly revealed historical narratives.

The more general belief that history can indisputably resolve claims has slowly been internalized by liberals, too. It's why both sides now endlessly bicker over historical narratives and regularly put forth ever more bizarre and facially false historical claims. Somewhat similarly, conservatives and liberals seem to cycle through periods where one side or the other relies on "science" to provide irrefutable answers. In another few decades don't be surprised if conservatives become stalwart defenders of programs and rules intended to address global warming, while liberals advocate for programs seemingly in conflict.
On a related note: recently bought an iphone and specifically bought the standard one and not the pro. now I've noticed that macro shots are a lot lower quality than on (older) iphone pros or even my old samsung s8. does anybody know whether that's on purpose?
Magsafe, Face Id, nearly full-screen display, and a better camera array (I think?).

Heh, that's a little surprising. I never paid too much attention to the HTML5 element bikeshedding; I always assumed it was (like html) cribbed from sgml/docbook - but simplified (rather than randomly dumbed down).

So normally I'd probably go look at something like:

https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/sdocbook/5.2/article.html

and

https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/sdocbook/5.2/section.html

for some inspiration.

However - tfa was a lot more interesting and pragmatic - giving good advice on accessibility ; something that is actually worthwhile and not just silly bikeshedding...
I had the same iPhone SE for about a year or so. I would have said all the same things as the author about it while I owned it. But, after it got damaged and I replaced it with an iPhone 13 Pro I have to say I much prefer the Pro. The only thing I miss is Touch ID but the 120hz oled screen, multiple cameras, and far better battery life more than make up for it. I don't mean to be a downer about the SE. I was just happily surprised with this new phone.
All but this one (as in one left in stock):

For me, and this is irritating, magsafe. All my other devices have it and the peripherals are better with it.

I agonized over this dumb thing but am terribly happy with my mini, in ways I haven’t been since the original SE.
I want an iPhone SE sized phone with something similar to my Ulefone Power Armor 13's battery life.

The Power Armor 13 weights nearly half a kilogram, and because of this I almost never drip it - you certainly know you've got hold of it, and the battery lasts so long I sometimes forget it needs charging till I get a 15% warning somewhere around day four to six.

Would you foresee any difficulties using EdgeDB with Django?

I know there would be no need to use Django's ORM and migrations if using EdgeDB - but then again I might use EdgeDB and SQLite (for FTS in the near term and mobile/offline in the long term), so maybe Django migrations still helpful there
Oh wow, I never thought I would see this again!

I learned logic gates using this, and even made a video game out of a grid of LEDs. You were a car that had to dodge oncoming traffic by switching between columns.

EDIT: After trying it, it's not the one I remember.

I used the very similar program LogicSim http://www.tetzl.de/java_logic_simulator.html#download

Runs perfect still. Just make sure you have java version 1.4 and up ;)
re: "only real factor"... Among other differences between the SE and the Mini, the Mini doesn't have touch ID button, does it? The article mentions "I have already argued in the past that I prefer this iPhone model over any newer one, Face ID capable." So it would seem that the lack of touch ID on the Mini would be a detriment to the author.
Nah. I have an HP Spectre x360 that fills the niche in terms of thickness. Small and light enough to stick it in a bag and go, and actually not all that underpowered.
That’s odd. I swear I’ve had the date problem too, but I just tried it and had no issues with that or any of the other problems you mentioned.

Overall I agree though. The core products are still good, but I’m hard pressed to spend any more money on this until they improve Siri and Homekit. I know there’s a big UI refresh coming that is welcome, but it feels bigger than that.
For what it's worth, I use a Zenfone 8 and regularly get 2-3 days of battery life off it. I came from older, sanely-sized HTC phones, and am actually pretty happy with it - I was lucky to get a day off any of the prior three HTC phones (Sensation, M8, 10) that I had.
Show HN: OxideDB – Teach PostgreSQL Database How to Speak MongoDB Wire Protocol
Hey everyone! I have created a product that relies on MongoDB for a document store but doesn't really need any of the distributed features to really justify having a hosted MongoDB or DocumentDB instance. Now that we're trying to turn this into a product, we're seeing that some companies have a little bit of resistance around managing yet another database. Most of our clients already have and manage PostgreSQL in one form or another.

I knew that PostgreSQL already offered first class JSON support, but I didn't want to rewrite the application data layer from scratch if I could avoid it. That's when I started researching if there was a "proxy" that would translate the MongoDB protocol - that I was completely ignorant about - into PostgreSQL. To my surprise there was nothing ready for production use but I found MangoDB that later on became FerretDB. I delved into the code and was in love with the idea. The team around is really nice, but I found that they had greater ambitions - they basically wanted to offer multiple backends, namely Tigris, on top of PostgreSQL.

On the other hand, I have been waiting to find an excuse to delve deeply into the rust ecosystem but never really found something I was passionate about until I had the idea of challenging myself to see if I could learn about the protocol that MongoDB uses by relying on their public documentation and the hints I found on FerretDB.

Fast forward 3 weeks and I have something I am almost comfortable on sharing yet super excited to get feedback on. It's in very early stages, and it's work from someone that is not yet super comfortable with the stack. Please don't be too harsh and keep in mind this is the beginning of a journey for me that I embarked out of pure joy on getting a tiny bit better on rust and making things click internally.

Thank you for your time and if you would like to help me on this project please be more than welcome to reach out, either here, via email or directly on the GitHub repo. (heavy breathing before clicking submit :-) )

PS: I forgot to mention, but another thing I added to my toolbelt while developing this was about creating parsers. In order to transform MongoDB JSON to SQL queries, I ported an existing library from the MongoDB team from PEG.js to pest.rs!
I have a Zenfone 8 Flip because it's basically the only good phone without a punch-hole display or a notch (those really annoy me) except the Sony ones that are grey market only here. I suspect that Asus won't make a motorized camera version of this one, sadly (maybe behind-the-screen front cameras will solve the issue... I would just buy a phone without a front camera, I never use it).
Maybe we shouldn’t swim with vending machines either
AMC Uses Dark Patterns for Their AMC Stubs A-List Membership
So, I was thinking about joining AMC Stubs A-List membership, unlimted 3-movies per week membership, why not?

So I go to their web site, and after entering my zip code, the site asks the question:

"Would you like to use your A-list membership in other states?"

I'm in NYC with no car, so I pick "NO". Believing that I would be offered the a lower membership price since I won't be using it in any other states. I got the $23.95 + tax. Not bad.

Then, out of curiosity I wanted to see how much was the other membership, you know, the one across states lines, and lo and behold... well, I was offered the most expensive membership since I was not going to use it outside my state.

Dark Patterns at work!

See for yourself at https://imgur.com/a/aCkidgl.

Maybe not illegal but, enough to turn me off, I didn't complete the purchase and I have an aversion for AMC now.
This glosses over a lot of important considerations. For instance: methane, despite having a limited lifetime, has much greater climate impact than CO2. So by converting some of the carbon they ingest into methane, cows add a substantial warming impact. Calorie for calorie, every serious analysis indicates that beef has very high greenhouse impact. Saying things like "bugs eat plants" is not a substitute for crunching the numbers.
Let me translate. They said, “I will disclaim I am a professional structural biologist that works in this field every day.”

That is synonymous with saying, “I will deny I am a professional structural biologist that works in this field every day.”

The person posting is actually a structural biologist. What they stated was cognitively dissonant with the intent of their post, and that’s what stopped me.

I don’t pay attention to typos or minor usage issues, but in this case, I read two more sentences and said, “What??”

EDIT: Two more things. First, I found the post interesting and useful. I didn’t say anything about breaking the argument.

Second, “I need to disclose…” is the exact opposite of what they said.

> The effective companies are where they respect each other and realize that their cultures are different but that they need each other. I'm surprised how infrequently I see that.

This is so very important. All of the teams in a business are critical to success. The best product in the world (engineering) is useless if noone knows about it (marketing), can't buy it (sales), or can't make it work (training and support).

There are multiple legs to the stool, and as I see it, it's the CEO's job to make sure all of these different personalities, tensions and constraints are balanced - and that everyone understands why everyone else is there.

Sadly, CEOs are often just sales people with a fancy title, which can lead to all sorts of nightmares.
Failing to foresee the imminent collision with an iceberg, the 2 captains are arguing about the definition of words "iceberg" and "collision", cheering the sailors, who by now have split into two camps and have started fighting each other.
One lesson of the Ukraine war so far is that the defender needs a very strong SEAD story, because if you let the invader fight a ground war (under an intact air defense umbrella) it becomes an artillery battle in which your civilians, infrastructure, and ground forces suffer tremendously. Another is the power of deep penetration attacks on logistics. You can have doubts about the F-35 as a fighter as such, but the above is what the F-35 was designed to do.
