Git can trivially rebase out those merges, but that begs the question why they were even done in the first place.

I can imagine that sometimes a feature depends on changes from develop after the start of the feature branch. This means that development started too early.

Cherry-picking my changes on to a new branch will hide that fact. Rebasing will conserve the authoring timestamp. I guess it depends on the specific situation what's best.

In a trunk-based development workflow, I'd have to merge asap and maybe hide things behind feature flags or compile-time switches to avoid such merges.

Things get even more interesting when the merges from develop affected files that were changed on the feature branch. You will likely get conflicts if you attempt to rebase them away.
There are at least 2 things here: 1) the laws and how they are applied and 2) what is in the interest of the people and what should the laws be?

I can trust law enforcement to do its job. Heck I might even trust it to do the right thing when it comes to gray areas / methods they use. But... I can definitely disagree with some laws. In fact, people doing something because it's law without critically thinking about it has worse consequences than disagreeing with the law.
You're right - the switchblade is an odd example. I've now learned a good bit about it from that link!

But the core point is that societies will ban things that generate more harm than benefit, be it real or perceived. This is the crux of the gun debate in America right now.
Yeah--the point is that a plane under robot control like that is going to be calling mayday and everyone on the frequency is going to make way for it if possible. You make way for a plane calling mayday like you make way for any vehicle running lights and sirens--but in the sky there's a lot more ability to make room and a lot more enforcement against anyone who doesn't obey.
I wish huge companies like Apple would just be happy with being #1 in their category, collecting their enormous profits and paying out dividends to shareholders, instead of feeling the need to take over the world.
Typing a prompt into DALLE does not take effort and it does not make you an artist.
Don't kid yourself that the people generating art and submitting it to these sites are the same ones writing and training the AI.
Investors love data. So why not dig into sustainability metrics? (2021)
Close down until you figured out a way to react. Money laundering is serious crime, helping North Korea is as well. Tornado cash did apparently both, and authorities gave them a heads up. If it was me, I would close my shop down.
But that can easily lead to a slippery slope since it requires more technical skill to make physical art than digital (for one, you can't "undo" anything in physical world.) Where do we draw the line?

Secondly, it will just become more and more subtle as art softwares will subtly repackage such AI tools into their art software packaging. I am willing to bet anything Adobe is already employed an army already to figure out how to do so. How would you tackle that?
No, "PM10 for non-exhaust sources per km" and then the following line has more info about about pm2.5. Please just go read the thing it's not our duty to quote it at you piece by piece to disprove your assumptions about how good EVs are especially when the article is right there and not even long or very technical.

If you have trouble reading or understanding english then I apologize and of course please continue to get the information this way if that is best for you. I mean this seriously and not as an insult. I had a TBI once and had a hard time parsing information like this for a couple years after.
Assertions without evidence can be rejected out of hand.
Deterrents only work if they're enforceable. Will you be able to catch someone if they use a drone to take out a target?

After watching what is going with the use of consumer drones in Ukraine I've come to the conclusion that we will soon see this in America. People will start to fight back against corrupt law enforcement sooner or later.

Imagine the world where people in a community brutalized by law enforcement crowd source drone strikes to take out particularly menacing law enforcement officers after they've been let off with paid vacation for the nth time.

The police will quickly come to the determination that it's safer for their members to actually put through the legal system as offenders than walking free on the street.

I don't know how Slack operates as a business, but if they work like most companies I've worked for, every employee gets a similarly spec-ed out machine. Maybe it's a MacBook, maybe not.

But at least some people should get machines that are a few years old - because that's what the users will have.

This used to be a classic problem in PC game development - developers get kitted out machines (because they need to run more heavy duty tasks during development, or run GPU debug code, or need to test the limits of the engine, or maybe just because they are gamers themselves so they buy newer hardware more often), so they tend to miss the mark on how powerful the average consumer machine is and only optimize code until it runs smoothly on their machine.
The thermodynamic definition of pressure is just how much work it takes to compress the system. This definition still works locally, you can just imagine compressing a small volume of gas.

I'm not 100% sure if fluid dynamics uses a subtly different definition (though how hard the medium is to compress is a fairly universal definition).

Obviously thermodynamics does break down if you've only got a small number of particles, but then 'pressure' also kind of stops working as a concept when you've got mostly vacuum.
> Gotta love HN... always acting like Apple is holding a gun to consumers heads.

Well they are. Because the only alternative is Android. We're into a duopoly situation on mobile and it's almost as bad as a proper monopoly.
Check Nyxt (https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/). Based on WebKit (actually designed to be engine agnostic but WebKit is the only one supported) instead of Gecko, and scripted (also developed) in Common Lisp rather JavaScript.
Not so sure about this. There's going to be a ton of noise in this data from an outsider POV. At an absolute minimum, for this to be usable as weather data they will have to determine when it's measuring the actual outside weather, as opposed to the indoor, or in-car/-bus/-train temperature.
How can they draw the line between AI and non-AI assisted art? What about a gaussian kernel filter? How about adding a saturation enhancer? How about putting a few of those together and let's play with the parameters a bit for fun?
Is it possible to automate detection of automation? If you can create an algorithm that detects the difference between AI art and human art, wouldn't that algorithm itself be able to create a new AI art algorithm that it itself could not detect?
Maybe if our government would decide to subsidize healthy, local food instead of big corn syrup, more of us would A. Know what real food is supposed to taste like, and B. Would eat in a healthier way.
Dancing in the Debugger – A Waltz with LLDB (2014)
There is no doubt known cyber criminals and enemies of the US are using this tool. The question I raised is: what percentage of illicit activity is acceptable? If the E2EE chat app Matrix facilitates 10-30%, should it also be considered a primarily criminal tool worthy of a sanction?

Supporting this was the one chart that caught my eye as I skimmed - Total Private Credit - at the very bottom row. The caption on the massive outlier line literally going off the chart at the top right is China: "No country has survived a credit build this large or fast. Ever.".

Perhaps a totalitarian society will allow them to do so, but saying "It's different this time..." has a very poor record

So in every measure relevant to this context, they are exactly the same. Of course they're distinct.
Navy Orders High-Level Outside Investigation of Seal Course
You can only code because there's an economy that has a demand for your coding.

If you cut out a load of unnecessary restaurants, subways, theatres, etc that are no longer required due to a mass exodus from the cities then I'm not convinced the economy is going to be in such great shape.
With Apache/Nginx e.t.c. a file is cached by VM/FS on the first request and will stay in RAM for a long time unless there is a memory pressure. For most sites this is good enough. For cases where it isn't one can pre-load files after a reboot using find /path -type f -exec cat {} + > /dev/null.
A lot of AI art is already indistinguishable. Mid Journey is especially artsy.
I'd like to see a way to specify interfaces / traits, in the base package itself.

I would also like to see a better test suite, with the ability to run a single test if I want to. Test Driven Development on a large project is a nightmare (although it's gotten a little better recently). I still can't believe how people contribute to Base Julia, because running the tests takes forever.

Lastly, better support for debugging in Neovim, Vim, Emacs etc. Better linting tools too. There's a push in other languages to write core language tooling in Rust or Zig, I think Julia would benefit from that approach (there's `juliaup` but I'd like to see more official tools similar to this).

Personally I'd like to see SetField.jl or Accessors.jl in Base. I'd also like to see improvements in the ergonomics of using immutable structs. In Julia, users should want to use immutable structs all the time, and ONLY if they need reference semantics they should want to reach for mutable structs. I think the naming and the sematics here is REALLLYY confusing when trying to get a team to write performant code. I can't tell you how many times I've had this kind of conversation with various members in my team.

Me: Create a struct for holding all that related data together

F: Okay, let me create a struct.
- Refactors code base for a day
- Realizes the data is being updated
- Uses mutable structs

Me: Don't use mutable structs unless you want reference semantics

F: What even is reference semantics?
- Tries to refactor by removing the `mutable` keyword, code breaks when doing `a.b += 1`, writes messy code like `a = A(B(a.b + 1, a.b.c, a.b.d, ...), a.c, a.d, ...)`.

Me: Ugh, why didn't you use `SetField` instead?

F: No unnecessary extra dependencies to reduce complexity.

Project Manager: Where are we with this task? Just use mutable struct and move on.

Me: Sigh. Fine.

On a non-language side of things,

1) it would be nice to have a bigger focus on teaching how to write performant Julia code. Currently, most if not all the material is geared toward someone who already knows how to write performance code (in C++ for example) and showing them the "Julian" way to do it.

2) I'd like to see a usability survey done from Julia users to see what features should be tackled next.
I'm not sure that's really an example of "understanding the steps without understanding the why". I'd say it's an example where there's no more to "understanding the why" than "understanding the steps", and the only actual problem is the expectation that something you can describe fairly simply ought to have a proof that doesn't require any calculation.
> They are explicitly a product for user privacy

That's the facade. In my experience, Bitcoin is still the main ecoin demanded in phishing/ransomware incidents, even when more privacy-friendly ecoins exist. A tumbler's purpose is distorting Bitcoin's public blockchain (one of its core tenets), and that's very attractive to criminals.
VPNs are "data mixers" - by combining all your traffic with others, it becomes harder to determine who sent which packets.

I think the response to this has two prongs:

- Some families of ML techniques (SVMs, random forests, gaussian processes) got their inspiration elsewhere and never claimed to be really related to how brains do stuff.

- Among NNs, even if an idea takes loose inspiration from neuroscience (e.g. the visual system does have a bunch of layers, and the first ones really are pulling out 'simple' features like an edge near an area), I think it's relatively uncommon to go back and compare specifically what's happening in the brain with a given ML architecture. And a lot of the inspiration isn't about human-specific cognitive abilities (like language), but is really a generic description of neurons which is equally true of much less intelligent animals.

Historically there is huge market for that.
It's not that much better than the normal network of AMS sensors.
For one, it doesn't give you wind speeds at various levels (critical for predicting weather).

Second, it doesn't give you any additional readings over oceans, which is where the data is lacking in the current network of data.

It does give you more robust surface temperature readings in cloudy areas but that doesn't really help you predict the weather significantly better.

Unfortunately there are 2 serious drawback to this:
1. Non replaceable/rechargeable battery
2. No support for directional tracking using U1. It’s just the standard find my networks Bluetooth beacon and the ability to emit a sound. Not the local directional finding available with AirTags.
That's also "only" 97% in Firefox.

Individual art communities should be allowed to decide to only accept art created by a particular set of tools. Oil. Acrylic. Mixed Media. Watercolor. Chalk. Pencil. Digital. Photoshop. AI. And so forth.

It's a matter of curation in my mind, not discrimination, and not really outrage worthy.
Not only inter-personal conflicts, but the higher you go on the reporting hierarchy, the more your task becomes managing the institutional politics. And the more your task becomes telling people what to do and requesting they get it done.

There's a kind of person that is good on those three things. I am not that kind of person; I imagine I can learn it, but it will never be easy.
I believe this relies on quite a few of the libraries in SerenityOS and according to one of the lines [1] in one of the build scripts for that it looks like Clang 13 will be required as a bare minimum. The Serenity project is also using the fairly recent C++20 standard according to their contributing document [2] and they additionally are working on a new programming language of their own called Jakt which I imagine will become a requirement in the future. For the time being, it looks like this will make it harder to support older environments which is a bit unfortunate because their browser project does look really interesting.

How is this any more creepy than any of the other people in those public locations videoing the same thing? Every day, you are recorded by hundreds of cameras, and a lot of those cameras are privately owned/operated. Specifically, I'm talking about people's smart phones. No matter where you go, just take a look around you, and you will probably be in someone else's camera frame.

There is no expectation of privacy in public. This just drives it home.
There's nothing specifically wrong with it, but it's still learning a system, not semantic html.
Knew a fellow who came from genuine poverty (one of 8 kids!) and became a millionaire+ without family help. His major score sprang from serving in the Army and getting connections that let him become a major force in the military surplus market. He worked hard and was rightly proud of his success but even he admitted that it wouldn't have happened without Uncle Sugar's need to throw away valuable things throughout the 1950s.
The core thesis of your argument (that self improvement is not required) is false for two main reasons.

1) Obviously we should improve ourselves, otherwise we will be immature children for our entire lives. Maturity is growth, education is growth. To improve is human. You can successfully argue a case that the guidance from the Manosphere is harmful; but to deny self improvement is foolish beyond argument.

2) external parties are discerning. They do compare people on attributes, doesn’t matter if you agree that they’re superficial ones such as wealth and appearance, or deeper ones such as confidence (not arrogance), maturity, trustworthiness and wisdom. They are discerning on some axis. This is true for friends, business associates and of course: Romantic Partners. Regardless of sex/gender
This will become even more interesting as digital art softwares start including "AI brushes" and such that include subtle tweaks to the established process. AI generated art made in 40 seconds could be banned, but what would happen to the AI assisted works, churned out by an artist in 10 minutes instead of 10 hours?
I believe most of these models only use 1k images so they really can't make anything bigger yet. Maybe someday but not today.

This is the sort of thing that changes incredibly quickly. I'd guess that a big chunk of the source data will be in 8K within a year or two.
Are all PM2.5 equal ? It seems weird to me to lump into one category various things like car exhaust, wood fires or agricultural emissions.
there are far better ways to fix the environment than reducing humans.

A top scientific journal places political correctness above the search for truth
> People who could easily murder politicians and others just don't want to. Perhaps they don't hate them all that much, perhaps they like democracy even though it puts people they dislike into high positions, perhaps they're opposed to murder.

I've wondered what makes unstable Americans conduct school shootings but not targeted assassinations?

Like, there is a part of the population that has no problem killing, and killing for shock value, but for whatever reason their targets are children and not politicians. The 1960s and 1970s were full of assassinations and plane hijackings by all kinds of people but they seem to have been replaced by the mass murder of children.
Having recently watched the Warhol Diaries on Netflix, I can't help but think of the examples of Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and think that calls for the death of the artist are premature. The funny thing is that I don't find Keith Haring or Jean-Michel Basquiat's work particularly compelling, and from the a technical perspective, I don't think either of them were blazing new paths, but what they (and Andy Warhol) offered was something Stable Diffusion simply cannot offer, that is, something new.

You can't ask for "in the style of Keith Haring' before there's a Keith Haring
Can anyone defending Tornado Cash provide a concrete example of mixing crypto revenues in a way that is not clearly illegal? I've scrolled this whole thread, and there are a lot of people defending it, but none of them provided a full e2e example of

"I sell x to y, y can only use crypto, y will be persecuted if I don't obscure my transactions from z, so therefore this is a good thing"

Yes we can all do the hypothetical "dissident in AUTHORITARIAN_COUNTRY needs to buy x and will totally be persecuted otherwise" but I want an actual production example not a moral whataboutism.
With regard to rebase and fossil vs git when you have a small team of trusted developers rebase is harmful because you lose information that could help you understand the _why_ of something. In contrast if you are working with thousands of untrusted developers you need a way to increase the signal-to-noise at the cost of some granularity.

This comes about from their development styles (see: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/).

- Use fossil if you prefer the cathedral style of development SQLite is open source but does not accept contributions.

- Use Git if you prefer the bazaar style of development. You want to accept hit-and-run style contributions from anyone.
This is the kind of comment about art that is measured, constructive, non-absolutist, and too rare on HN in posts about art (and urban dictionary has an entry for 'reverse monet' cos I wondered, but I'd skip that one if I were you).
If you're talking about SLAM you're overanalyzing the situation. Essentially, unfettered decades of rapacious corporate abuse has created a group of people who are essentially skeptical of anything that big business does. FTC Commissioner Lina Khan is one of those people and is now coming at Big Tech with a broadsword. Because Big Tech is so abusive, most of this makes sense, but much of it does not (eg. blocking a small VR app acquisition by Facebook)

Guns are quite literally just atoms. The context matters. Not all guns are illegal. But ones used to commit crimes will get lawfully seized. The code exists in context, and the developers’ actions and intentions are relevant. None of this is novel.

The problem with hosting providers closing down websites over non-criminal speech violations is that it enables anyone with a grudge to shut down any website they dislike. Previously it used to take a court order to shut down a website, Nowadays any old troll can make a few death threats against themselves using Tor, take a few screenshots, report them to the host and the site gets taken down. Even if the webmaster quickly removes the comments it evidently isnt good enough. because as we've seen recently with Cloudflare hosting providers are now retroactively punishing sites for since-deleted content. This introduces a massive Denial-of-Service vulnerabiliy that webmasters have no way to mitigate unless they close off comments entirely. You might not like Kiwifarms and think this was a good thing, but next time it might be your favorite gaming forum or hobby site that trolls get taken down using this method.
