It's easier to stop completely than to limit. Educate yourself about alcohol. How it impacts violence. How it destroys mental health. How it makes you fat and stressed. How it gives cancer. Educating myself somehow made me not want to drink alcohol and feel weird about people who abuse alcohol. I also read this naked mind and it helped as well. Almost 3 months of total abstinence for me, and I am not looking to go back

I vouched for quite a number of comments yesterday that I felt were constructive and respectful, but were nonetheless flagged. I didn't keep track of the comments and don't know if they got flagged again; I don't know if you can see what I "vouched" for in some sort of admin UI? From what I recall this wasn't isolated to one particular viewpoint or "side" by the way, there are, ehm, strong emotions all around.
Sorry. Allegro used to be called Franz Lisp. ACL would be a more correct usage.
I think it's useful to hear the stories. When you're a 1-3 person startup early stage rejection is harder to get over, and it helps to know others have succeeded regardless.
It's simply toxic behavior, to show up & flame something obviously quite capable like they had.

There's a lot of people receptive to this toxicity- it's fact-free rage people want to hear, it's viral & it spreads- but the truth is webdev works fine & we have many perfectly reasonable frameworks to pick from that do a very fine job. Even straight vanilla js is not unreasonable an option, especially with webcomponents.

The joy of text – the fall and rise of interactive fiction (2014)
I agree with what you say, but my point has been washed out. A description, no matter how poor gives us insight into the change and some subjective experience can be mapped to others.

Iron deficiency causes your leg to bounce.

CBT causes people to practice second order thinking.

Faith causes people to experience grace.

Your subjective experience has overlap with other phenomena, a description of the journey allows it to be mapped. People with medical grade depression can then decide if taking LSD is likely to resolve their problems.

Playing the subjective-definition game is entry level stuff. There is real suffering that could be allieviated here with a little more insight and mapping.

The point is that the farmer and miner become the saints doing penance on our behalf - we all benefit from the work they do, then insist that they handle all the costs of the negative externalities their work produces.

Sure, I suppose that could be priced into what they charge for their products. That may be a nontrivial challenge to work out, though, and it's possible they'll no longer be able to make a sustainable product after doing so.

One newbie question maybe you can answer: Can XGboost/LightGBM handle out of band data predictions? The specific regression problem I’m tackling involves price predictions on tabular data (similar the the kaggle housing price problem) and I know classic random forest / decision trees have trouble with time series predictions. Not sure if those models handle that better.

You can tell that being rejected by YC isn't that strong indicator for success given the number of YC startups who have been public about having only got into YC in their third or even fourth attempt. In my book that is equivalent to being rejected, and YC only accepted them after they basically made it.

YC is also very public that a significant number of every batch have been rejected a couple of times. So basically being rejected by YC is not even a strong indicator that you won't be a YC success.

>We are grey goo, and are currently working to build rockets to go out and continue converting the entire solar system and eventually the universe into grey goo.

In fairness, we are green goo and it's not like the universe was doing anything better with it's atoms. (We're also not likely to succeed much within the solar system, and almost certainly not likely to succeed outside of it.)
On M1, for single-precision, one AMX P-unit is ~1.64 TFLOPs, one P-core is ~102 GFLOPS. So ~16x core-for-core. But you have four P-cores for every AMX P-unit, so more like 4x. And for double-precision that shrinks to 2x (~410 GFLOPs to ~51GFLOPs).

(This is a simplification that doesn't include the E-cores, nor the AMX E-unit, but their contribution isn't huge. I suspect AMX throughput may have doubled on M2, but I haven't verified that.)

That's a strawman. Standards evolve and new standards come along. 2G -> 3G -> 4G -> 5G. Well look at that.

Not true. If Apple is willing to share, they can invent all they want and propose a new standard.

As per the article, a good lawyer can raise sufficient reasonable doubt about Airtags to acquit their client. You may have bought five and "accidentally" lost one. However, it is harder to claim plausible deniability when you purchase a GPS tracker. Of course you can buy GPS trackers everywhere, however, you will leave an evidence trail that is easy for the police to find. Most GPS trackers on Amazon are also much larger in size and more difficult to conceal.

Losing the vowels works in languages like Arabic because of the structure of the language, with consonantal clusters (e.g. ktb, tlb) being semantic “roots”. So you usually know from context, and if you don’t know the absolutely precise word, you know the meaning, which can sometimes be more informative.

Indo-European languages don’t work that way.

It wasn't a blow-out-the-doors commercial success, but it was successful enough that players and media were produced for 20+ years. It had broad adoption in Japan, where the random-access functionality was particularly useful for karaoke bars well before DVD and hard-drive based players.

Indeed the attempts to turn it into an interactive media platform, such as LaserActive, were rather less successful and much shorter-lived than Laserdisc as a home theater video distribution medium.

This is, like some other of your comments, very condescending. I won't speculate on what you hope to achieve by these remarks, just comment that I don't think this kind of condescension has done Common Lisp much good over its history.
You are making several assumption which have not been scientifically studies, which is the only point I am making.

mmWaves do penetrate the skin and the eyes, that much we know. What effect it has on the body system as a whole we do not. You can make all the assumptions you want but until they are studied they are just assumptions.

And I do not mind walking through a mmWave security scanners for less than 10 seconds. But would you want to stand in that for eight hours a day while you were at work or home sleeping?

And again and again I have to point out that saying it is nonionzing radiation is pointless if there is another method by which it make disrupt biological systems, as in triggering voltage gated ion channels.

Ask HN: Is there any decent API to download a paper given its name?
I am developing a PDF viewer designed for reading research papers[1]. One very useful feature that I would like to add is the ability to directly download and open a paper just by clicking on its name in the PDF file. I have implemented a version of this using PyPaperBot [2] which is not bad, but it is not as fast as I would like it to be (it uses scihub which doesn't have the best servers).

By parsing the html from google scholar, I wrote a python script that does this which was very fast and was working perfectly, however, after using it for a couple of minutes (maybe about 10-15 requests), I can no longer query google scholar using python requests (the returned html is a request for captcha). It appears that google disallows any programmatic use of google scholar (even though this was not spammy at all, the user has to manually click on a paper to send a request to google scholar).

Anyway I was wondering if there is any decent and free API to get the url of a paper given its name, I have found a couple of paid ones but they are way too expensive.

SendGrid (acquired by Twilio for $2B [1]) famously had their application rejected, and their later success caused YC to update its selection process.

From this Quora answer [2]:

> Apparently, only one partner, Robert Morris, reviewed the SendGrid application, and he gave it a highly negative score, calling it a "spam company." That pushed it so far down the application queue that no other partner reviewed it. Paul talks about how they changed the application process after that so that any applications negatively scored by Robert would also get reviewed by Paul.

(Interestingly, venture returns skew so highly to big winners that SendGrid's objectively huge outcome would not even have had a material impact on YC's current portfolio value of nearly $1T [3]. I'm not aware of any current $10B+ companies that were rejected by YC, though there may be some.)

WPF might be there, but with all the "deprecated - oh not deprecated again - not deprecated but no updates for many years - deprecated again - not deprecated again" cycles I'm not going to touch it with 10-meter pole for anything that I need to support - same with anything else related to .NET.

Also the UI designer experience for WPF is much worse than it used to be with WinForms - so bad I just wrote the code manually, and at that point I can just write HTML/CSS. But perhaps they fixed that - I left .NET in 2015.

It doesn't run in the browser anyways - and the browser is what my customers want, because everyone has a browser, but not everyone has Windows desktop - especially today, when many people don't even own a PC and use something with Android/iOS as their primary computing device.

You mentioned receiving 10s of spam per day - are they being classified correctly and put in your spam folder or are you seeing them in your inboxes?

My mx hosted with hetzner also runs rspamd. Of the 32k mails received in the last month, 40% were rejected (postfix DISCARD, so the sender sees the mail as accepted but its sent to /dev/null - this only happens to mails scored very highly as spam, or sent to a spam trap address), 10% were greylisted and 1% were delivered to the spam folder.

So I'm also receiving 10s of spam per day, but they're all delivered to my spam folder with rare errors.

With the exception of an issue delivering to AT&T recently, I haven't had any outbound deliverability problems in a few years, but then again I don't send very much mail at all - perhaps I'd have more trouble if I did but most of my mail is incoming.

all seems more complicated then just dropping down a unit in metric and doing whatever maths you need, without dealing won’t fractions or weird units.
Then if we throw a logarithm in there we should be seeking zero-centered intervals, I'm thinking, as opposed to non-negative intervals containing 1 (no effect). Any why normal distributions are even part of such discussions of ratios seems crazy, given that ratios can't be negative, but log-ratios can. Not my area; could it be that a log or similar non-linearity was already effectively included? If the confidence interval method was only using ratios, then the lower bound should have been zero, and negatives impossible.

Sanity checking results shouldn't be so difficult.
I wouldn't buy that for a dollar.
