There’s a long road to Christian unity but the first Protestant group and Catholics agreeing on one of the key justifications (pun not intended) of the reformation is a massive and far reaching development that will reverberate for centuries. Healing these kinds of wounds is not simple or quick but unexpectedly there are great signs of hope springing up like this and many other developments in recent decades.

The number of times that this has happened, with certain colleagues of mine, over Slack. Ugh.

Dude, if you had just skipped the really-actually-not-required-on-slack pleasantries, I could have already given you the information you needed, 16 hours ago.

You're using a pointwise loss, which means you are treating each timepoint as conditionally independent. That's a deeply flawed assumption, probabilistically.

Try an autoregressive model of the joint probability distribution of the sine wave timepoints -- like WaveNet [1]. It will nail your sine wave -- just as it nails mixtures of sine waves (speech and music). :)

If video and sound don’t work in firefox it sounds more like a microsoft issue than a firefox issue. Webcam and Microphone APIs are following the standard and are well documented on MDN.

Sounds like user agent / window.navigator sniffing in order to block the browser.

Classic microsoft. They will never change.
Some distributions take this more seriously than others. Debian, historically, is the largest stickler about this. I've had to delay packaging things for licensing problems[1], written 1000+ line d/copyright files[2], etc. Not all distributions will take the investigations that seriously.

I'm not saying that Debian always gets it right either! Just, there's an emphasis on doing so.

I will be fascinated by how much feedback here splits tribally into griefers who are strong AGI proponents and don't like this write up, and maybe more my tribe who agree. I know, griefers is .. objectifying but I do expect pretty sharp retorts from pro-AGI people.

Culturally, publishing "manifestos" was more an artists pose, common from the 19th century onwards. But it's become something in niche corners in science too. Mostly in the "pledge for peaceful societal benefit" kind of sense. It's a word which gets up some people's noses. I suspect because of the big C manifesto which is a spectre hauting the world of manifesto. But also, it has America/Europe divide qualities: Europeans will happily spend 2/3 of the conference writing the manifesto which is agreed to in the plenary, The Americans on a tighter travel budget want to leave that to some sub-committee, do the real work, and move on.

If I felt AGI was close, I would be concerned we got the social dimension right. My friends from robotics say that its work well in hand, inside the field anyway. The Oxford Institute and like places go into ethics of CompSci Networks, AI, Expert Systems. We've had problems in the space since decision support systems started rei-ifying bad policy (medical school pre-admission checks was a big one 20+ years ago)

Manifestos tend to the mission statement side of things. Endless debates about every clause and semicolon.
> The solution which will likely emerge is one of local profiling

That sounds nice indeed, but it would be a lot nicer if we got a statement to that effect from Apple Computer instead of dwaite on HN.
This is anecdotal, so not data, but I'm not 100% sure i agree. But it may be an age thing.

In my youth (for some definition of youth) I could work flat out for 10 hours+. I'd get in the groove and just fly.

I'm a little (or lot) older now - and I can do maybe 6 hours at a time now. I now fill the rest of the time with non-code work, like docs etc. Or I just knock off early.
Yeah but a big chunk of stock vests in October, so holding out for that. I can stomach a month in the office
I recommend you dig deeper into Buddhism to grasp how flexible & responsive the religious leaders are to scientific advancements.

A book from Matthieu Ricard, an ex western scientist who later became a Buddhist monk and Dalai Lama's interpreter, wrote a book with a western quantum scientist [Quantum and the Lotus](https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Lotus-Journey-Frontiers-Buddh...). What is notable is how the exemplary practitioners are highly knowledgeable in scientific and philosophical subjects.

Moreover, you can see that both Dalai lama and the other top leaders of Tibetan Buddhism proactively collaborate with scientists on experiments and discussions to learn more.
BlueTooth is basically a necessity in a modern phone for many reasons, not just headphones: fitness trackers, automotive system integration, etc. all use BT. And BT doesn't need any physical space on the edge of the device.

But yeah, the venerable 3.5mm headphone jack is simple and effective and doesn't have many of the problems that plague wireless headphones.

Any good phone should have both.
I had a Lear ADM-3A dumb terminal and some TeleVideo clones (912 and 912c) that I acquired right before the pandemic. The cases are beautiful 70s works of art. Intended to connect to Raspberry pi’s but never got around to it.
This is a neat idea.
Big facts. I don't leave the house much these days. Recently I went on a 30+ min drive to visit a friend. From a super dense urban area to a suburb that is growing into a dense area. And I legit had no internet for like 4 minutes. Obviously it'll be worse for non densely populated area
Nah, I miss working with other humans. Spending every day in a closet typing by myself honestly sucks. That won't be true for everyone, some folks will have kids at home - but even those, I have to imagine will (a) get tired of the kids or (b) have their kids off at school and be in my situation. I've started biking to work (voluntarily) since there's a lot of flexibility, it's great to get some sunshine and fresh air, and also see other humans.

Living your life in a 12ft radius of your bed ain't great lol.
You can already do this with MySQL/Postgres/etc., and there's no special magic in any of these newer tools that allow you to avoid the speed of light. The reason people don't typically run WAN synchronous setups is exactly because of that (and network reliability).

The only way to a "free lunch" is via CRDTs.

edit: This is in no way a knock on FDB by the way. I think it's a really interesting piece of technology and I want to explore it more. Just that it doesn't have a way to do consensus faster than the speed of light :)
still enjoying my pixel 3a xl.

no stupid punch hole or notch. apple and Google designers must be blind or stupid, can't decide which.
Canadá is also doing terribly bad . Seems to be an issue in many countries currently .
I feel that we must solve the things we can, here and now.

We must be free to speak truth to power, and make a better place for those who come after us.

For current strife, I might say that I have called friends many Russians and Ukrainians. I realize that the harms done will outlive me in their vtriol, but I hope that worldly interests can find a way to settle peace.
I take at least one interview a week on company time. Always be prepared to leave at the drop of a hat.
The new offline translations feature is also a great addition - it is not as good as Google Translate, but it is very good, and it is offline and completely local.
* It’s powered by a CRDT to handle the conflict resolution.*

Can you go into more detail here?
The economy gets better for more people in more places than ever before. Environmental destruction is also progressing faster than ever before. Many crucial ecosystems are on the brink of collapse (e.g. the rainforests) and we show no signs of intending to protect them.
>A cable charges my phone ~3x faster

You need a faster wireless charger. The high-power ones aren't as slow as this.

But still, you're right: wires are more efficient and faster. And the big factor is that no one brings a wireless charger traveling with them. A cable is much smaller and lighter, and the wireless charger still needs the cable and power adapter anyway.
Discord is broken on Firefox. It's fast when you restart it, but over a few days it turns into a slog to the point where if you click on a different channel, it takes over 20 seconds sometimes to load. Then when you type a message, you can only type about 5 characters before it locks up for another 20 seconds.

If you look on the mozilla bugtracker, there are many people having this same issue
I was thinking the same. It being published on GitHub makes it especially difficult to claim damages for reuse, as I think it’s fair to say the very act of publishing to GitHub implies a desire to share the code.

The real issue would be if the author decides they want to close source it later, updates the license, and then demands everyone stop using it.
6/7/8: brokep, anakata, tiamo.

It's still early to tell but we may have to add Aleksey Pertsev to this list :/

> 3. Edward Snowden

U.S. citizen being hunted for acts committed on US soil so as terrible as prosecuting them is, I don't see how it's relevant here.

Other than that, yes, my point is we should not be normalizing and shrugging this off as "the way things are". Individuals and businesses are doing right in taking this into their risk-calculations but that does not make it lawful or constitutional even when local governments or LE are complicit.

Not everyone are as aware of this as you and I and comments like GP frame this in a deceptive way for those who aren't. If done deliberately and under certain other circumstances I'd even call it propaganda (not saying that's what GP is intending to do but one can both speak truth and have good intentions while still spreading propaganda).
Do you have any references? That doesn’t sound true.

From dictionary.law.com:

illegal

adj. in violation of statute, regulation or ordinance, which may be criminal or merely not in conformity. Thus, an armed robbery is illegal, and so is an access road which is narrower than the county allows, but the violation is not criminal.

unlawful

adj. referring to any action which is in violation of a statute, federal or state constitution, or established legal precedents
Yep...that's not how it is where I'm from. Where I'm from teacher burn out is very very high and it's a known statistic.
>You have to choose not to use wireless headphones, not have a wireless charger AND for some reason be unable to spare the 30 minutes to do a rapid boost charge.

Yeah, this sounds like me when I've traveling anywhere, whether it's across the world or just into town. I'm not going to haul around a wireless charger in my backpack, and I don't have 30 minutes to sit around waiting for a charge. And that's exactly the time I want to have headphones available, not when I'm sitting at home where I might have a wireless charger handy. At home, I just use speakers connected to my computer or my home-theater setup. Why would I use headphones at home?
My bank's internet banking page to pay multiple beneficiaries pages is a jumbled mess in Firefox. I haven't bothered to check why but I am guessing it's some grid layout issue. I did write to bank highlighting the issue. It's been over a year and still issue persists so I just switch to Chromium for internet banking.
After a quick search, I think you might be right.. or at least my generalization is too hasty.
I think git is fairly easy to use (and allow for more freedom, I can choose what I want to track and what I want to commit).

Sure you can go wild with git. But the basic workflow is, well... basic.

For the people who have a hard time with the basics, they can use the ton of GUI solutions. Git Tower comes to mind or the integrated git stuff inside VS Code.
Be careful doxing yourself with this one :).
Indeed. The money allocated by the gov isn't falling from the sky (or if it is, it is printed money, leading to inflation): the fundamental question here is therefore "is the government more efficiently allocating this money than any other way to do it?".
I hope people check them out, and appreciate the art and work he left behind

Rest now it's never finished and life is too short.

Not just overseas buyers, there are many people with a lot of houses who aren’t foreigners.
A primary factor in choosing my latest job was having an office to go into. I’ve been going in M-F and love working in person again. I don’t think forcing everyone back is necessarily the right strategy, but instead encouraging teams to re-form around people with similar preferences.
> but now transactional guarantees only extend to the id stored in the DB, and not on the external storage.

Depends! If the ID is a cryptographic hash, then as long as the blob is uploaded first, then the DB can't be inconsistent with the blob[1].

A Merkle Tree also allows "updates" by chunking the data into some convenient size, say 64 MB, and then building a new tree for each update and sticking that into the database.

[1] With the usual caveats that nobody is manually mucking about with the blob store, that it hasn't "lost" any blobs due to corruption, etc, etc...
Interesting but I only see 3 posts?
I've heard people say their HP is "blue". I've also heard "G.O.D.": "Group of Drunks". So I think you can stretch it as much as necessary.
Or maybe, after receiving the Best Mathematician of the Year (Under 40 category) award, since your desire for social recognition of your supreme genius and success is now undeniably fulfilled, you start to realize that you can adopt a new healthy focus on some other aspects of life too, so your late career publications and fame burn less intensely than your supernova early career?
I'm amazed that radar circuits (for proximity fuses) can be fired out of a flak gun and survive and work, so maybe this is possible.
USB-C headphones are either free and desperately shit or a very expensive mic+headset arrangement, not simply "headphones".

And adaptors are universally unreliable. The one my samsung phone came with works with literally NOTHING else, and the 4 or 5 I've bought have connection issues.

Also if you care about audio it's another slap in the face as the DACs in those adaptors are pretty high-noise.
Agree! The wet dry cycle at some point seems almost certain it would cause delamination. I'm surprised those failed bridges aren't more protected, it does seems risky, it seems they should be kept out of direct weather. Also agree glulams dont have a 100+ year track record, but it's getting there. They solve so many other issues such as efficient utilization of low grade and sustainable wood...so count me a cautious but excited proponent.

Good story about the Kauri Pine, that looks like a pretty cool tree!
I think pragmatism would be the middle ground, or 'dealing with reality as best you can'.

I don't think it's possible to actually sit perfectly in the middle, won't you always end up thinking slightly positively or negatively about whatever situation comes up?

In that case I think that 'Expect the best but prepare for the worst' is a good mindset to have.
On both of my last companies linux was the default desktop and not many issues arises from it .
If there hypothetically was a magical source of near infinite renewable energy that could be harnessed without negative side effects, would you be ok with 2600+ sqft homes and air conditioning? I sometimes get the impression that sustainability advocates/environmentalists are more anti-technolgy or anti-human than they are pro-nature and saying things like "there is no amount of renewable energy that will make [enjoyable living standards] a sustainable way of living" doesn't make environmental reforms seem very palatable to me. What number of humans can the Earth ideally sustain in your estimation? If it's substantially less than the current population, then the cure is worse than the disease.

My boss is pretty chill about making us go in. The office has a lot of utility, so it’s great to have it available.
This is basically the best way I've seen to do this with pure Make, though I don't think it will work on macOS or even MSYS2 because even if you install pkg-config I don't think anything will provide definitions for OpenGL. (That's part of the reason I picked it; OpenGL is a really annoying edge case, since every platform went about it a little differently, and yet it is a common thing to need to link to.)
1. Values (objects) in Scheme are tagged, carrying the type with them. And no, a variable, the identifier that names a location which stores a value isn't statically typed. From R6RS:

https://docs.racket-lang.org/r6rs/r6rs-std/r6rs-Z-H-4.html#n...

> Scheme has latent as opposed to manifest types. Types are associated with objects (also called values) rather than with variables. (Some authors refer to languages with latent types as untyped, weakly typed or dynamically typed languages.) Other languages with latent types are Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, and other dialects of Lisp. Languages with manifest types (sometimes referred to as strongly typed or statically typed languages) include Algol 60, C, C#, Java, Haskell, and ML.

The Scheme standards are very concise and readable.

2. Sometimes we Schemers will leave an orphan paren, like if we want to leave a place temporarily for new code. The primary benefit of all on the same line, IMO, is it is more compact vertically and most Lisp programmers rely on paren matching anyway. If you program in Scheme long enough, you can just "see" the level of nesting by the apparent contour of parenthesis. (If you don't understand this, that's probably a good thing.)
They are old tech, doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with that. They also still make horseshoes and saddles only suitable for horses because there’s still a niche market and that’s what wired audio has become.

Most people are very happy with Bluetooth headphones and don’t care about the benefits of the 3.5mm jack.

This happens all the time with tech, streaming is lower quality than physical media and has ownership concerns but for the majority that’s not an issue.
Not a Regular Job Opening
Financial stubbornness disorder? Or something that requires keeping a hand on wheel, and a foot on the break incase the fully supervised driver/ computer tries to hit something.
That's refreshing to read. I thought I was the only one tired of reruns of the office and south park combined with vapid cheaply produced reality and tik tok video clip replay shows.

I really wonder why anyone would dump $100 or more on cable TV any more unless perhaps they need to watch sports channels.

Commercials are dull as well, the way they repeat "accidentally"... ugh.

It will eventually burn out once the pandemic isolation is all over.

It's really going to be a drought for blockbuster entertainment, At least we have plenty of 90s movies and music to fall back on, It's a good thing I kept my old DVDs, Mp4s, Mp3s, and my DVDr drive... No commercials at all unless I want to see them. :)
I'm a little surprised there's not a better LCD controller for this kind of application, even a little iCE40 should be enough to implement a character display and smooth scrolling on both axes.
All MBPs have headphone ports too. And recent ones have HDMI and a SD card slot.
Which 1/3rd pays for textbooks (curriculum) and testing?

Both are total grifts. I'd rather that money went to teachers.
> Want the speaker to get on with it? Circular motion with the tip of the index finger around the y-axis.

If someone did this to me I'd find it pretty offensive, much more so than being interrupted. Unless that person was explicitly asked to help keep time beforehand.

Details aside, all of these examples are basically substitutes for 1-3 words. Hardly anyone is interrupting to say just a word or two, and such interruptions aren't really disruptive anyway.
I was ready to make the move until I learnt about the Google hiring freeze. I'm going to play it safe and remain in my role for now.
I will call their bluff.
Not having seen these displays, I wonder why would anyone care about a higher frame rate. It scrolls even more smoothly? It sounds like a luxury feature or maybe audiophile nonsense.
I've moved to a rural area and am thus in a position to where I now have to work remotely.

I much prefer the lifestyle out here to living in cities, so as long as a large number of companies are sticking with remote work, I should be good. Companies like Apple that invested in massive new campuses in recent years understandably have an incentive to get people in them.
Hrmmmm maybe, yes. I switched to a Pixel 4 in May, it was a refurbished model for 210 CAD from Best Buy (so not a hit-and-run outfit), that's an offer I can't refuse :) In 2-3 years I might look at the Zenfone 9, it looks like it has a decent camera and even good night mode which of course is the biggest allure of them Google phones.
About 4 years ago we started noticing it really started improving. What version is she on?
