I don't get it, Firefox already exists and is a complete OSS reimplementation of everything Chrome does (and works better imo). Only thing to do is convince sites to test more on Firefox. This strategy worked last time around.
Ask HN: Google Maps cuisine bias issue?
Today I was searching for "Malaysian restaurant" in Fremont California with Google Maps. I saw it listed Burmese restaurants as well. In my experience, Burmese food is more different from Malaysian food than French to German or Italian so I was a little dismayed that Google was thinking if I asked for "Malaysian restaurant" that it was ok to suggest "Burmese restaurants".

Trying some other things, I tried "French restaurant". I could find no examples of google maps recommending things other than French restaurants. Not in Fremont, or Singapore, or Taipei.

It made me wonder, how does Google maps decide what is a similar search result? Why did it show me Burmese when I asked for Mayalsian? It's certainly not "because they are geographically close" as France and Germany share a border. It made me wonder if this is an ML issue or if it's mistake where whoever programmed this put their own biases in (French, German, Italian, South East Asian) vs (French, German, Italian, Malasian, Burmese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, ...)

Anyone know why it might do this? Consider if you were searching for French restaurants and it recommended Italian restaurants. That would arguably just be bad results but given it didn't give bad resutls for that search but did for Malaysian restaurants it seemed to deserve some explanation.

Are their other searches with similarly interesting results?
Indeed, this is, like, a solved problem on every other platform! Apple instead designs their apps after tech from the 80s[1] and is now stuck there for life.

I'm glad that you were able to improve your life, and I agree with you that the availability of modern luxuries are difficult to reconcile with a healthy, happy life.

But I posit that you are able to enjoy a car-less life due to the existence of fossil fuel-burning elsewhere: the public transportation you presumably ride, the groceries that are delivered to the store presumably within walking distance from where you live, the construction of your residence and all commercial buildings near you, the massive industrial production at scale that allows you to trade a smaller amount of your time for more goods and services. All of those things are, as you point out, built on the back of cheap energy. It would be downright immoral to deny that same opportunity to the people of the developing world.

And objectively speaking, having the capacity to do something is better than not having it. Whether you eat meat or not, it is objectively better for the common folk to be able to afford it; whether you own a car or not, it is objectively better to have the ability to move people and goods across long distances at an affordable price; whether you artificially cool and heat your home or not, it is objectively better for people to be able to live in comfort in places they otherwise may not be able to. Privation may end up being better for your health, both mental and physical, but only if it arises out of choice.
Yup - wont let me edit or delete this one and new one no one is seeing - fun!

Also, I submitted the correct link, issue was the canonical was wrong, which is interesting that it actually overwrote my submitted url and replaces it with the canonical.
The issue is that the default Calc doesn’t let you see history and nearly every single 3rd party calc doesn’t follow iOS design principles, just doesn’t look very good, and are often inexplicably slow.
Yes, I have. I greedily want to keep as much of my money as I can so I buy the cheapest goods available, sending money to the greedy corporation who offers goods at the lowest price.

This stubborn hand-wavy argument that prices stay high due to greed smacks of economic illiteracy and White House propaganda.

Strong agree here.

I've been taking digital photos since 1997. I got my first DSLR, a Nikon Coolpix D40, in November 2007. I wore out the shutter after 126,057 shots in October of 2011. (The design life was 1/3 of that) It's replacement a D5100 has been with me ever since. I see no reason to replace it before it wears out.

I see no reason to switch to another camera. I was happy with the 6 megapixels I got from the D40 (in fact, I chose it over the 10 Megapixel D40X because it had better low light performance thanks to larger pixels in the sensor)

I've taken photos with my wife and child's camera, and a phone... it's all a matter of composition, and avoiding harsh back-lighting. (My wife is WAY better at composition, I've got the technical side)

I also agree that it is a lot easier to get the shot you want once you've gotten comfortable with your gear. It can take quite a while, because some environments aren't very common.
Russia as it currently is, is a massive and diverse country with many talented and artistic people. It could take any number of courses, and act in many different ways to be a better world citizen, but it hasn't. Russia had, and still has many many options, but somehow seems stuck in a downward spiral of trying to throw its weight around the world whilst simultaneously casting itself as a perpetual victim.
It's possible for a piece of advice to be commonly repeated, vehemently hated, and absolutely correct...
I worked on a CPU in Minecraft years ago and designed it to be a 7-bit CPU. I chose that number because it gave me the an appreciable number of operations plus space for arguments. I had only 6 bytes of RAM and about 32bytes of ROM. The ROM was just a circle of transparent blocks (zero) and solid blocks (one) pushed around by pistons.

The whole thing was real slow, but it was so much fun trying to design something that would perform interesting calculations. I stopped working on it as at the time Minecraft had some odd bugs with pistons that would cause non-deterministic behavior.

I think the most challenging aspect wasn't the programming or circuits, which were well understood and mapped out, but trying to create modules I could copy-paste inside a special Minecraft save editor to make the machine quickly, then manually dragging out data/command lines to hook the modules together.
Is it that this is a contraction of the online advertising market, or just the fact that cheap money is gone (corporate paper is no longer free if you want it)?
I don't understand the relation you're alluding to between halvings and transaction fees. As far as I'm concerned, they're entirely unrelated. It's true that both big spikes in transaction fees happened to occur four years apart and in the vicinity of halvings, but that could just be coincidental -- if it's not, I don't understand the mechanism that would cause it.

In any case, neither spike was particularly long-lasting, and even if they were sustained at their peak, neither would make up for the mining incentive lost in the next halving.
You're totally right, OpenAI released CLIP in january. But I mean CLIP isn't an image generator, it's just a classifer. If we restrict the question to actual text to image generators (ignoring deep dream or some of the 'kinda cool but far from the coherency of post-2021 generators') then clip guided diffusion is kinda the first.

Unfortunately, things have not changed. You are 100% correct. If anything, things have gotten worse, because now we have even fewer options to manage accounts.
Your point would not be weakened if you left ethnicity out of it, but risks coming across as un-credible and conspiracy driven with the addition. I'd recommend an edit.
Yes, but not as fast and intuitive, especially for people of a certain age who are used to working with a desk calculator nearby at all times.
What's interesting is that saving the results of a previous operation to memory and recalling/clearing them (M/MR/MC buttons) has been standard in calculators since the very beginning. It just has the most non-obvious user experience in the world so most people don't even know about the feature.

Correct, companies can only get there with subterfuge and good marketing.
Such an awkward thing to be particular about.

Renaming the repo and binary to dimgui or something would be so much more impactful in this than running around correcting people for using the actual name of both the repo and binary when referring to the application.

If I was asked by Bram Moolenaar to start calling vim "dear vim" starting tomorrow I would kindly tell them to fork off (and do a proper rename in the process ;))

This two-calculator setup has the advantage of being intuitive to anyone despite having only two storage slots. Or rather because it has only two storage slots and they’re always visible in fixed places.
Online is admittedly tricky. But it seemed to me this one wasn't.
Yeah, that'll work. Doesn't look as good as your page. Maybe a StumbleUpon for art styles? (God, I miss StumbleUpon)
Yeah this has been my observation too. The best way to get hired at Big Tech is to have already worked at Big Tech. The next best way is to brush up on your leetcode, which is definitely not something founder types typically want to do.
The board could potentially act in their own self-interest, but the shareholders could vote them out.

I would suggest starting with the assumption that given an opportunity, everyone acts in their own self-interest. Voting influence is included in this. I've seen this in homeowner's associations before.

The "shareholders" may not even be aware of any of this happening when they are detached from the day to day operations.
> Independent shops should be able to buy broken phones from individuals and part them out for repairs without jumping through Apple's hoops.

I assume in this scenario that all independent shops are trustworthy entities that won't use stolen, reclaimed, or third-party parts in order to save money, without informing the customer?

Well casinos also have the much much much easier task of not having to keep gaming pure, but simply to keep it profitable. They don't have to prove you are cheating, because if you are taking in more money than you should be statistically, they can make you leave and ban you, no recourse. They only have to prove you cheated when they want to put you in prison for it and take their money back.

That could possibly mean that the public info on casino cheating trends towards very advanced and profitable cheating instead of average cheating, but I am not a statistician.
It is very likely that we get a new Plaza Accord. Not now, but the dollar's strength is going to be absolutely ruinous for corporate America over the next 12 months. And, at that point, you will see a move towards monetary co-operation (the thing that Obsfeld is talking about).

I do agree though: suggesting that the Fed stop rate hikes today because of the international consequences is madness. We are getting a much needed rebalancing, the Fed is kind of exporting deflation but this is being made up for with exchange rates moving downwards, the Fed's low rates during the last decade have heavily distorted international markets, continuing isn't helpful.

"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." -- attributed, apparently wrongly, to Henry Ford.

Those of us who know RPN and other options are likely to squirm at this app, but in this case the "faster horse" approach seems to be easy for people to pick up and understand.
The essence of this paper is that nuclear power prices declined until about 1970 at which point for some reason they went up and then continued going up and up.

It isnt clear why this happened and beyond "we just didnt build enough" the paper doesnt seem to advance any ideas. I suspect there is a more to it than that (e.g. a focus on safety, extreme capital intensity, subsidies being wound down, corruption).

The idea that the price could be 10% of what it is now is founded upon the idea that maybe if prices kept going down instead of up in 1970 we wouldnt be where we are. I think a study that actually attacked the "why it went up" would do a better job of clarifying whether that is possible. Im very dubious.

Meanwhile, a combo solar/wind/pumped storage is already ~60-65% the cost of nuclear power and has been on a consistent downward trend for many years. This seems like a better use of our money than drenching nuclear power in even more taxpayer subsidies in the hope that it'll one day pay off.
I've mentally tuned them out! Also, twitter seems to have made recommendations more in-line with my filter bubble so even when I notice them, they're often relevant.

Trending for me now is "retrogaming."
opensource coming from Google, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI or even recent garbage coming from RedHat is just a nice facade. It's broken, it's locked to a platform, often no compiling instructions or out of date by 3 years with multiple bug reports. It's just a marketing move that came from Google early 00s' and then was widely adopted by MS: "Microsoft <3 OpenSouce - Contribute Here (for us for free, we can't be bothered to fix this TOP 10 bug or update documentation)".
A lot of the analysis on whether Niemann cheated bring up the same things and irregularities:

His peculiarly nervous and odd body language

Having jumped over 200 points in a few months, which is a world of difference up at ~2500

Fluttering and nonsense in post-interview trying to explain his moves and train of thought when playing

And the fact that he has been caught cheating twice recently
What’s even harder to understand is why there isn’t a good 3rd party iPad calculator app. This doesn’t feel like a difficult problem to solve, and yet here we without an intuitive, good looking calculator for the iPad.
I don't know much about chess so maybe I've got this all wrong, but I don't see how this can be anything but a dick move by Magnus. What information could he possibly have obtained in that amount of time that would informed him of whether Has was cheating? And if he didn't obtain that information in real time, why did he agree to the match in the first place? It makes no sense.
The GP does not appear to have any misconceptions.

Majority of Apple chips unlikely to be M1/M2. Apple started shipping M1 not until late 2020, so just two years of people being able to purchase them, compared to what, ~13 years of being able to buy Intel machines. Surely there are more Intel Macs out there still.
It does if you want it to. These have always been privately organized. If you set one up in Chicagoland, let me know.
It would matter if it was highlighted. People care about repairability of expensive items. Admittedly, it is a secondary concern, but I would say it is probably the top secondary concern

I completely agree with your sentiments and enthusiasm.

personally, I've been waiting a long time for AI to get to the point where I can generate my own animated cartoons. I can see the pipeline for it now: sketch concept art, mess around with inpainting, use textual inversion to build a "dictionary" of assets like character art, scenes, objects, art styles, use that + simple sketches to storyboard, then put the script in and get keyframes, then tween.

and even if the result looks mediocre or a bit weird (for now), the sheer power of solo-animating an entire series is just.. tantalizing.

The default macOS calculator app is also terrible. I can't figure out how to do simple multiplication on it. I'm sure there's an answer but I also don't care to find out. If me typing `5*6` then clicking enter doesn't yield the expected result then the UX is the problem, not me.
Passthrough AR vs. Optical AR
If one was willing to go as far as devices implanted into the body, it's somewhat easy to imagine inputs via normal-looking fidgeting: toe taps, even perhaps clenching some body part.

While not trivial, it doesn't feel like the hardest part of that particular engineering challenge.
being the top chess grandmaster is no guarantee of sanity.
to take the most famous 3, Fischer, Kasparov and Carlsen:

- Fischer was always a bit of a paranoid arsehole, but he went completely off the rails after he retired. I won't go into specifics, but it's a quite interesting read

- Kasparov has never seemed the world's most sane man, but then he's from a radically different culture

- Carlsen is as far as I know quite sane, but from watching his streams I never really got the impression that he was particularly level-headed, or even just a pleasant person. take for example this whole debacle; even if he is right, which he may well be, he hasn't been exactly mature or sportsmanlike in dealing with it

if you have the singularity of mind to get to such a high level in anything - especially a solo sport like chess - I would speculate that there's a high chance of other things being missing. even if there isn't, the environment of fame and power once you get there seems pretty harsh on the mind
If we want to go this far into euphemism and implication, remember that Magnus has something like a 20% stake in chess.com
Fair enough. Not sure if big tech would be the only options for said person, maybe a series A/B/C co?

Anyone who relies on bluffing a lot in poker will soon be broke.

Both games rely on disguising the real play you want to make. Slow playing the best hand in poker, or making non-standard moves in chess to throw your opponent off.

You see this in all sports/games. In basketball/football a team will run their best player away from the real play. In Jiu-Jitsu I'll fake a choke I have no intention of seriously trying in order to force someone to defend and move their arm - which is what I wanted the whole time.

Ah! A previous discussion about steampunk computers after the invention of photography, was dismissed because no semiconductors. But Faraday knew about them! A reasonable fiction could be written where steam engines are contemporaneous with CPUs, perhaps as huge structures of suspended film or some such!
I seem to recall that back in the or 2000s or thereabouts, when Gary Kasparov was playing a match vs Deep Blue, he realized his initial strategy of playing aggressively wasn't working.

Essentially, it telegraphed too much information to the chess engine to analyze. Unlike humans, chess AI isn't intimidated by aggressive play, there is no psychological edge in doing so, and only an informational disadvantage.

Kasparov changed his strategy to a more passive and defensive one, and was able to win some matches after that. Someone who follows chess more closely than I do may need to confirm or provide more info, my memory of this is a little hazy.

But I'm not sure the analogy to poker is apt, because in chess both players can see all the "cards" at all times and all the moves and decisions in real-time. The unknown is which player can see more steps ahead, and exploit that knowledge to gain an edge before their opponent sees it too.
It's not about support, it's a money issue. Adblocking doesn't generate money, so out it goes.

For many articles, the one dead giveaway that it was written by a human is the fact that almost all news articles have typos and severe grammar errors in the first hour or so of release.

How is Carlsen's reputation tainted? Honest question.

I would have thought that chess fans would have seen this as a brave and perhaps even virtuous move?
"Of course comments stay in sync with the code... if you're the only one working on that code."

If I am in a rush to implement something and then am sidetracked because of a stupid small bug, then I just fix that small bug in the code. And then another one. In these states I only pay attention to code, and not text. If I would also have to read the text, then I would forget the original task.

So sadly no, comments do not automatically stay in sync with code for me, unless I put in the extra effort of cleaning up afterwards.
