The rest of 26 U.S. Code? I mean it directly starts with "you need to pay income tax, here is a table of income brackets and percentages"...
My problem is that I'll never remember to do those things on my own. I have repeating items for things that seem obvious but that life experience has demonstrated that I just can't track on my own. I wish I could remember to order flowers for my wife in time for them to be delivered before our anniversary, but I won't. A todo app for me is a lifesaver: instead of being all stressed out that I'm forgetting something important, I can get all that stuff out of my head and concentrate on other things.
Open Information Security Risk Universe
I'm not sure about using 10x in place of 'an order of magnitude'. An order of magnitude conveys an approximation, whereas 10x is precise.
I do exactly the same, and also use a tilda for tasks in progress, and 2 periods for those that are blocked. Sometimes simpler is better.
If the US were to face Russia in a conventional war, there is a serious risk of nuclear escalation between the world's largest nuclear powers. The current conflict presents the US with an opportunity to weaken Russia by supporting Ukraine, do so with international support, and without contact between US and Russian troops.

KILLING AND DEATHS OF PEOPLE ARE UNACCEPTABLE. FIGHTING SHOULD BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND PERMANENTLY. ALL OPEN QUESTIONS SHOULD BE SOLVED BY FAIR NEGOTIATIONS. BOTH SIDES HAVE TO BE READY FOR COMPROMISES TO SAVE LIVES.

Haven't watched Sandman yet but Westworld does something similar to that where they use the aspect ratio to denote different eras or real vs virtual.
Why wouldn’t you want to work for an American company if given the choice? Isn’t the pay a lot more for American companies? Or am I off here?
Luxembourg is extremely small, and Ireland's GDP is artificially high due to tax evasion by multinationals. Excluding those, the richest country in the Eurozone is Denmark, at $61000 per capita, and the poorest is Poland, at almost $16000 per capita.
For reference, this is the discussion around subitems / nesting: https://github.com/jotaen/xit/discussions/2

As mentioned in that ticket, I’m still reluctant to add this to the [x]it! file specification. On the one hand it seems like an obvious and useful feature, but on the other hand it’s unfortunately pretty difficult to implement in tooling. For example, I tried to add experimental support for nested subitems in the Sublime Text plugin, but I eventually had to give up, just because the syntax highlighting engine is so limited in regards to recursion. It’s the same – or much worse – for other editors.

At the end of the day, I feel that it doesn’t help to add such a feature to the file format, if tools then cannot deal with it properly. Right now, the spec is so simple that it can be implemented in maybe a day or so. I see a great deal of value in keeping the hurdle for tool creators small. But it’s a pretty tricky balancing act in the end.
Yeah, anything actually doing it today will do something like multicast/bonjour and then do direct links.

Though I have seen games that apparently use an internet service to coordinate direct links ...
There's quite a bit of impressive jargon in that repo and the video!

I had to briefly look at the paper abstract, which explains that this is about solving the sequence limit of transformer text models:

>While beneficial, the quadratic complexity of self-attention on the input sequence length has limited its application to longer sequences -- a topic being actively studied in the community. To address this limitation, we propose Nyströmformer -- a model that exhibits favorable scalability as a function of sequence length.

That's cool — I'm looking forward to being able to process texts > 512 tokens in the future, and would be especially excited if that were possible for sentence-bert.
Way back when I first started working for a small networking outfit, we were informally split into 'Team Red' and 'Team Blue'. Everyone agreed that Novell was on the way out, and the younger guys with their MCSE's made up most of Team Blue. I had un-officially started 'Team Yellow' and was sticking Linux boxes in when I could.

Anyway...one afternoon I was at a law office installing some legal library software (or something), and one of the younger lawyers asked me into his office. He had a couple copies of Warcraft and Command & Conquer, he had installed them on a couple of the office computers but couldn't get network play going.

Not really knowing what I was doing, I opened up the properties dialog for the network adapter, added the IPX/SPX protocol, and started the game up on two computers.

It worked! It was that simple. I remember the guy pulling a $50 out of his wallet and handing it to me. And, since they were within walking distance of our office, I got invited back over a couple times and we played a lot of games (and drank a lot of beer) over there.
What are people actually using GPT-3 for?
Hi PeterZaitsev, many of our core components that are used within the database are open source under the MIT / Apache 2.0 license. With regards to the core database code, it is free to use with no limits on number of nodes, data size, number of connections, number of connected users, features, or functionality. The only limit is for providing a paid-for hosted database-as-a-service. In addition, after 4 years, our complete source code for that version release becomes Apache 2.0 licensed. We've tried to keep this as open as possible for developers / businesses / enterprises to use, whilst at the same time protecting ourselves from some of the events that have happened in the database world over the last few years. It's definitely not our intention to just publish our code on Github just to pretend to be open source!
No, I simply choose to treat the decisions of others that I disagree with a bit more respect and candor than you do. You are too comfortable with lecturing other individuals, and I doubt you’d communicate like this with a stranger in person.

Especially when the thing you’re criticizing is biologically hardwired result of two people that love one another and want to share a life together.
Electrical heating is impossible. There is neither sufficient generation, nor sufficient grid capacity, so matter how many of the nuclear plants we had we keep running. Even in a mostly-nuclear grid like France's you just don't have the spare capacity lying around to replace fossil fuels for heating in a year.
Does it support http webhook on table events ?
through many years I trying to find it, even wrote my own tool. every of them obsolete in a days from I started using it. Finally, I underspend for me, I wrote notes in md format in root of a project and named it TODOs, sometime it works. And, I have small checks from the store, I received they every day after buying a food, I wrote tasks on it to track I eat more when I do. This works like a magic.

One issue with TV displays I didn't see mentioned here is glossiness. TVs are mostly glossy and monitors are usually matte. I strongly prefer the latter.
For Netflix, I know what he means, but the article has a hard time describing it. It's kinda like you know what a tiktok video looks like, even when the logo is absent.

But here is a better phenomenon. Star wars tv series are all shot in a circular room. Everything is arranged in a virtual circle even when they are outdoors. When you see it, you can't unsee it.

Ps: having a hard time finding images from the shows. But here is the set.

This might seem crass but if I was in a situation where I couldn't afford the ad-free version of a streaming service, I would simply abstain from the service entirely.

I understand many don't care, but I hate ads with an intensity I cannot describe with words.
Reflections on my time in Y Combinator
Completely agree - see this in my family as well, even among females under the same roof but not related, IE: step mom and daughter.
It's not the right thing if its prohibitively expensive and inaccessible. The right thing is doing it without the inflated costs and expensive leased equipment. The right thing is not building your product in such a way as to require specialised equipment in the first place.

This is effectively malicious compliance.
> So stuff that really needs to be done I will deal with without any todo list I will just remember it or deal with it right away.

Just remember. That's exactly the thing I (for example) am not capable of. I keep forgetting everything.
Every time I have some spare time, I am checking my todo first if there's something I need/want/can do.
I enjoyed the rhetorical style used in this article. A nicely presented mixture of humor and information.
I just find any single sentence comment that starts with “Imagine…” as uselessly snarky. That’s all.
I've used it a bit to help with creativity. For example, I wanted to brainstorm some unit designs and gameplay mechanics for a RTS game I wanted to build. I prompted GPT-3 with an interview with a game designer where unit designs and mechanics were discussed. For a prompt I used a few questions and answers and then a single question I wanted GPT-3 to answer for me. After a few attempts with slight variations it spat out a bunch of ideas for me. While few of the designs were fully worked out and immediately usable, a couple of suggestions by GPT-3 were able to spark enough creativity to create some cool things.

My favorite reply was:

"A: I think the best example of this is the ability to swap positions with a friendly unit. This ability can be used in so many different ways. You can use it to support an ally, or you can use it to escape a tricky situation. You can use it to surprise an enemy by swapping with a unit they didn't expect, or you can use it to put yourself in a better tactical position. It's a simple idea, but it actually turns the whole game on its head."
The most interesting part, to me, of a release like this is the amount of "please don't abuse this technology" pleading. No licence will ever stop people from doing things that the licence says they can't. There will always be someone who digs into the internals and makes a version that does not respect your hopes and dreams. It's going to be bad.

As I see it, within a couple years this tech will be so widespread and ubiquitous that you can fully expect your asshole friends to grab a dozen photos of you from Facebook and then make a hyperrealistic pornographic image of you with a gorilla[0]. Pandora's box is open, and you cannot put the technology back once it's out there.

You can't simply pass laws against it because every country has its own laws and people in other places will just do whatever it is you can't do here.

And it's only going to get better/worse. Video will follow soon enough, as the tech improves. Politics will be influenced. You can't trust anything you see anymore (if you even could before, since Photoshop became readily available).

Why bother asking people not to? I guess if it helps you sleep at night that you tried, I guess?

> I’d love a cogent reason to explain this convention.

"cheaper" isn't a defined operation except for "a is cheaper than b".

So the statements "6% cheaper" and "2 times cheaper" are shorts for "it is cheaper, it costs 6% less" and "it is cheaper, you get 2 times more for the same amount of money".
A significant quantity of the ad space is pernicious: The ads seeking to be displayed are explicitly intending to manipulate the viewer to change their cognitive orientation to the benefit of the buyer, with anywhere from callous disregard to outright contempt for the viewer's outcomes.

Big tech has significantly aided in the delivery of these harmful messages, and seeks to use personalized information to find the channels, times, and context that are _most_ effective at undermining the will and agency of the viewers.

Are there models where an information / recommendation broker could justifiably collect what would otherwise be concerning amounts of personal information? Potentially, if it were using that information to compute and facilitate the maximal individually beneficial outcomes of each individual user, but that's not what's happening here. Right now, we're building a system that would happily have people die painfully and preventably at 40 after living miserable lives because the economic returns of that model maximize the returns on advertisers / delivery networks.
Didn't they literally just have a massive data breach and expose millions of user phone numbers?

Ten Myths about Static Websites
The strange, weirdly dramatic style…I’m trying to put my finger on it and having a tough time - the tone in general bothered me.

But nothing bothered me more than the actor himself. The way he spoke, his ridiculously teen angst emo attitude…his hair alone.

I just could absolutely not take him or the show seriously whatsoever, because - even though I’d never seen it - I could literally not get the picture of Edward the vampire from Twilight out of my mind almost any time he was on screen.

There were several times I laughed out loud during periods which were supposed to be dead serious moments - and most of those times were simply due to the hilarious emo attitude of the show’s lead.

Was it intentional? He plays off like a character from a Young Adult novel, not from a legendary Graphic Novel author. The lead was just cringe incarnate.
something to consider is that certain todo's require the right location or context, for example if I'm at the office and it occurs to me to pay the utility bill, that would go on a "home" todo list.

Additionally, some todo's have different timeframes than others. I try to think of things as short term/immediate, medium term/this week, and long term/nextweek-before I die.

I'll occasionally pick things of the long term list and cut them down into an action I could do immediate or this week, for example, get Anna karenina from the library.

Would that work for 220V lines to major appliances?

For those outside the US, our residential electrical service is a mix of 120V for lighting and general outlets and 240V for major appliances (ovens, HVAC, etc). Commercial is usually 3-phase at higher voltages (but, IIRC, there's a mix of several specs used - residential is more standardized).
I like this hypothesis; however, if that was indeed the original meaning, it would have more sense to advertise it as a 33% discount, or as slashing the price by 1/3. "3x cheaper" seems to be aimed to the average Joe shopping for shoes, not to a developer who knows arithmetic.
Must be a bit more sophisticated than that, as it forms a complete sentence.
Ask HN: How to get started in quant trading?
I am in my mid-20s. and have worked at late stage SF tech companies as a SWE and Data Scientist for the last 5 years. I am fairly skilled at WebDev, Algorithm Design, and Machine Learning (College level, not research).

I have always been fascinated by quick feedback loops and dynamism of financial markets and exploring a career there and have consumed a lot of literature on fundamental investing.

How do I go from here to a job as a quant trader in terms of acquiring relevant skills, lining interviews and landing a job? Any help would be great!
I suspect you’d want to start by trying to translate differences between images into descriptive differences. Maybe you could generate examples by symbolic manipulation to generate pairs of images or maybe nlp can let us find differences between pairs of captions? Large nlp models already feel pretty magical to me and encompass things that we would have said required AGI until recently so it seems possible, though really tough
Does this also include the labor to find/mine/refine/ship the fuel and the labor to mine/refine/shape/assemble/maintain both the factory machines and the farm equipment?
Maybe Apple isn't perfect, but seems to me in this case they've been very patient and accommodating, and the employees in question seem to show massive entitlement to still want paid while not showing up to work regular hours, risking unemployment without a decent reference.

>> Why did you leave your last job?

> It was intolerable. Apple insisted I show up for work! Can you believe that?

>> Thanks for your time. We'll call you.

I expect Apple will be hiring.
A bike tour of Dresden, the heart of Germany’s semiconductor industry
This article might have been correct before the Ukraine war but right now Estonian inflation is nearing 25%. Digital economy is working well only when the economy overall is booming.
Yes, for obvious reasons. Classroom size and the relative economic factors of urban schools make the job less desirable than non-urban schools. Urban kids are typically rich or poor. Rich kids end up in non-public schools. Non-urban schools are more often serving the middle class, who have cultural advantages over the poor when it comes to learning outcomes. Why do you think urban parents move to suburban school districts after having kids?
Oh, interesting, thank you! Never realized this was a thing already, it just seemed like an obvious thing to do, to just 'bid more'.

Wonder what their figures were.
It doesn't help that this kind of 'cutesy millennial' speech pattern has been co-opted by corporations trying to appear friendly and 'hip'. It seems almost reflexively non-genuine when used now.
What's to go along with? Samsung and/or LG are not required to participate in Sidewalk. They just need to be given the ability to scan for open WiFi networks and join when found. They really don't even need to know the SSID, but of course they'll track that info as well.
More Marshmallows!
Yes, it's excellent.
My experience is that physical to-do lists are great for sitting down, surveying what needs doing, and deciding what you’re going to do today. Including decisions like “I did not read any of Anna Karenina yesterday but I still want to do this so I am putting it on today’s list, and while I am thinking about this I took 5s to take it off the shelf and put it by the comfy reading chair”. And things like “laundry is gonna eat 2h of my day today but I need some clean clothes ffs”. And “I have six important work projects and only 3h of actual productive time between meetings, I am going to work on projects X and Z today unless someone comes and screams about the other projects”.

Digital to-do lists are where tasks go to die.

I just keep on coming back to a nice notebook, a nice pen, and my variant of the Pomodoro method.
Microsoft bought control of OpenAI so I believe this would all be running on Azure (so would not be using Google TPU's).
The flaw with that line of thinking is that we are not robots (LaMDA and Zuck, you can stop reading now).

We don't always (want to) make optimal decisions based only on how objectively healthy they are, and that's perfectly fine, and not really "self-destructive" in the sense you're implying. There's an adage somewhere about living health and becoming a beautiful, healthy corpse some day.

Alcohol is bad. Maybe cutting it entirely from your life will get you an average 0.56% increased life span. Will it be worth it?

This isn't to say being a drunkard is good, or that widespread alcohol consumption can't be a problem (see Russia's and native Americans' history).
Normal human brain can’t remember that much. It also helps to write down everything that needs to get done first, so that you can prioritize between them.
Hi revskill, absolutely you could do something like this:

DEFINE EVENT changed ON person WHEN $before.email != $after.email THEN http::post('https://my-webhook.com', $after);

It's very flexible! We're also releasing support for the fetch() function within the JavaScript functions soon, which will enable you to do the same thing from within the embedded JavaScript functions!

Samsung actually has a better update policy than Google (at least for their non-trash-tier phones): 4 upgrades, 5 years of patches vs. 3 years of both.

They're probably not as fast as Google at releasing security updates, though.

Functional logic programming for the real world
I think 1x is baseline. If you can buy two for the original price, it's 2x cheaper. 10 for the same price? 10x cheaper.

The parent you're replying to seems to have things confused. 100% off isn't 1x cheaper -- it's infinitely cheaper.
Yeah, TPMS can be a real pain in the ass. And the thresholds it has for reporting true-positives are pretty extreme (~25% low), because the auto industry objected to the cost of accurate sensors.

As far as diagnosing and programming at home, I have a handheld OBD-II reader ($35) that can report TPMS codes like this from the car (without a laptop), and also an OBD-II TPM QuickSet ($120) from ATEQ (a more basic model than the shop had). The QuickSet tool is configured over USB, then attaches to ODB-II to write new TPMS codes into the car. It's useful for swapping between summer and winter wheelsets without a shop.

And I appreciate the flexibility! I don't want to force people to come in especially since I want to keep the ability to work from Hawaii for a week.
While neat, and no doubt impressive, it still utterly fails on prompts that should be completely reasonable to any sane human being/artist.

Take something like "A cat dancing atop a cow, with utters that are made out of ar-15s that shoot lazer-beam confetti". A vivid description should be aroused in your head, and no doubt, I could imagine an artist have a lot of fun creating such a description... Alas, what the model spits out is pure unusable garbage.
Oh, that's smart. I just reprogram when I swap.
Alright, you pick the data you want to pay attention to and ignore the fact that the majority of teachers in the Omaha Metro are on the first pay scale I showed you. And go ahead and tell me that you know the lay of the land of an area you've never stepped foot in. Nice talking to you.
> The Tensor [..] it's still pretty average in practice.

Benchmarks place the Tensor chip at 1.6X to 3X compared to the 765G [1]. Again, my point is, if someone is willing to "bend the truth" to support their narrative, then they have already lost the reader's trust. What value can one possibly place to any subsequent claims they make ?

Yup someone had commented about social media FOMO that 1) you only see the good stuff and 2) class divisions are more apparent when your friend's friend who had a trust fund or struck it big posts stuff you wouldn't have been exposed to directly & locally pre-social media.
