skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I am currently also playing around with this. The best part is that for storage you don't need to store the reconstructed image, just the latent representation and the VAE decoder (which can do the reconstructing later). So you can store the image as relatively few numbers in a database. In my experiment I was able to compress a (512, 384, 3) RGB image to (48, 64, 4) floats. In terms of memory it was a 8x reduction.

However, on some images the artefacts are terrible. It does not work as a general-purpose lossy compressor unless you don't care about details.

The main obstacle is compute. The model is quite large, but hdds are cheap. The real problem is that reconstruction requires a GPU with lots of VRAM. Even with a GPU it's 15 seconds to reconstruct an image in Google Collab. You could do it on CPU, but then it's extremely slow. This is only viable if compute costs go down a lot.

If you are looking for an iOS/iPadOS app my own Kalkyl 3 includes support for shared documents with real-time collaboration.

You don’t input text (but there’s of course keyboard support), instead you input tokens so that e.g sin is one token just like the digits.
WYSIWYG editing with raised exponents, root-overbars.
Arbitrarily complex unit conversions (e.g USD/ft^2 to EUR/m^2 is a single conversion) and dimensional analysis.

The app is free, but the document features are for pay (with a free trial):

First of all I don't think Niemann has much of a team yet. But the prep leak idea makes no sense. If someone's on Carlsen's team gives Hans "leaked prep", why should he believe them? It could be a red herring.

Pretty much every grandmaster who has commented on the prep leak idea has stated it just makes no sense on the face of it.

Apple has stores so they would be subject to state taxes unlike Amazon and other online only retailers years ago.

You are 100% correct about software sales. Georgia law says since there is no property being exchanged it’s not subject to sales tax. I didn’t know this until today. The law is kinda weird.

I think a good distinction is what happens after the deadline. The wedding won't keep getting planned after the wedding date. Most software keeps being developed after a deadline. But I guess there's software that is "one shot" as well? Like a visualization software to show/analyze the election results as they progress during election day.

The implication is that he's mostly writing C despite the file extension suggesting they contain C++.

C++ changed a lot over time, and the way modern code is supposed to be written is very distinct from "C with classes", but you still can do that if you want.
I don't follow chess much except for some headlines. Carlson is legend and Niemann practically nobody. This is very common tendency to side with legends in any field. But in this case, it is not like Carlson lost the game only for the first time so his accusations against Niemann does carry some weight, especially when Niemann himself admitted to cheating (albeit when he was a kid). Since I am totally unaware of Chess world, my first hunch would be 'Carlsen may be right' but I don't want Niemann's career to be destroyed simply based on that hunch. That is where evidence matters.

But yes, Carlsen should be careful because if it turns out he made accusations out of nothing or out of spite, his entire reputation is at stake. I hope Carlsen made those accusations based on something solid.

The iPhone dialer definitely is. I'm not saying that's bad or anything, some things are better being skeuomorphic if it helps users understand the interface. It's just the actual user interface design discussion gets drowned out by how honestly for lack of a better word embarrassing most digital design discourse is in general it's been changed into more of an art direction debate than a UI design one.

>One could argue that on a touch screen, the buttons are there because it is the most efficient layout and not because it looks like a physical calculator. In that case, it is not skeuomorphic.

It definitely is designed to be a physical calculator though to the extent it is an actual copy of a famous one [1], and has all the limitations of a physical calculator even mincing the memory limitations of a physical calculator.

The "if I talk I am in big problem" video is exactly the most he can say without forcing him to go to an unwinnable (because the burden of the proof is on him and it is practically impossible) trial.

What can he do if he is completely convinced of the other player cheating. He can only let the other player win and at the same time make clear that he is not going to play against him.

That is the only legal and honest way to deal with what you perceive is a cheating opponent.

What else can you do? Get a libel trial?

He has not said that the other player does not cheat. But he is not going to play against him.

It is not so easy as to say: "hey, this player cheats".

OK: he has no proof. Perfect, he is willing to lose and keep his mouth shut. But he has said something: "I cannot say anything without getting into an unsolvable trouble".
I'm not sure what the parenthesis around the negative sign is supposed to accomplish. Generally you put it around two or more operators.
We are getting closer and closer to a simulacrum and hyperreality.

We used to create things that were trying to simulate (reproduce) reality, but now we are using those "simulations" we'd created as if they were the real thing. With time we will be getting farther away from the "truth" (as you put it), and yes - I share your worry about that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacrum

EDIT: A good example I heard that explains what a simulacrum is was this:
Ask a random person to draw a photo of a princes and see how many will draw a disney princess (which already was based on real princesses) vs how many will draw one looking like Catherine of Aragon or another real princess.
And the other side is that people can trust someone's judgment. Credibility matters and people have to make judgment calls on that basis all the time. When companies decide to hire or even fire people they do so on the basis of credibility, and that can have some pretty serious consequences.

Hans has cheated before and that affects credibility. Magnus has been around for awhile and gathered a reputation regarding professional style. That affects credibility. Having high or low credibility is not a crime and everyone is free to create their own personal theories on credibility.

Magnus has decided that he does not want to play Hans. As the world chess champion people will want to know why. Magnus has pre-emptively tweeted a meme which basically says that he refuses to say anything. I don't see what's wrong with Magnus avoiding Hans while basically saying nothing.
Doubt explanations
As long as clickbait drivel like this is upvoted, and advertising is legal, there will be internet.

And after that, when we return to the primordial ooze of AOLs and Prodigys and CompuServes, and even before that to UseNet and BBSes, when there is barely a commercial entity left, but there is still a wire to shove weird binary non-euclydian poetry into, there will be internet.

And even after, when illicit shortwave modems screech their crude 300 baud message across the planet, and very slowly a fat gray cat, Cheshire-grinning a question about a sandwich, progressively renders into a cracked and crudely lit LCD, an old meme will take form, and there, in the gray matter, there will be internet.

Nobody really knows when the body dies. After brain death, and then organ failure, and all the electricity's gone, a rotting corpse still feeds the world, mother's diesel for the biological engine of life. Who knows where the internet will go, or for how long, or in what strange aeons it will return? Who can say if ours was even the first?
The platform fee for the IBM PC is zero. The platform fee for notorious quasi-monopolist Microsoft Windows is still zero. That is the standard to which all other platforms should be held.

There is talk about the cost of designing and manufacturing the phone, which is irrelevant, especially in a world where users frequently buy new phones every two years. That cost should be borne by the purchaser of the phone.

Now, the ongoing costs of running payment systems and app stores are more significant, and I think it's reasonable to argue that they cannot be zero, but we should have a go at determining them in the market.

Evidence of what?

Has Carlssen explicitly said "This guy has cheated?"

He has only said "I cannot speak because I would be in such a big trouble that I am not willing to do so".

It is not so trivial as "prove it" when you only have a deep, serious, professional conviction.
"Dislike" is also an engaging metric so I use in not in the sence of "please not show me content like this" but in the sence of "content doesn't meet the claimed statements". "Not interested" doesn't work at all but what works for me is refusing to watch bad rerommendations. If every recommendation is not worth watching, then I search for something good, for example "Lisp" and do heavily clicking of everything Youtube recommends.
Overall I agree with your points, but not specifics. Pan-slavic movement for south slavs was really a mid-19th century development as far as not being limited to singular figures and even then it is questionable how popular it was.

I also disagree with reasons given for killings in early 90s because it both trivialises the reasons for internal tensions and completely ignores the question why you had plenty of ethnic violence "already" in WW2.
From the surname, Melkonian sounds ethnic Armenian. So it may not be a case of "a random American".

I just don't know how this can possibly be resolved. It's not possible to prove Niemann cheated, especially after the fact, and you can't ban him if he's not been proven to cheat. I think the only productive thing going forward will be an absurd level of checks to deter cheats. I mean literally you would have to have airport style security for Chess matches. I don't think that's going to happen. So what's going to happen? Just Magnus always resigning against this one player? And if he really is cheating then Chess is going to turn into Cycling - a sport where everyone is cheating, it's an open secret and the whole thing is pointless.

Yes.

The "GIL removal" umbrella proposal was two-fold. It included (a) removing the GIL, (b) several optimizations to handle some issues with GIL being removed and offset the GIL removal overhead (due to more frequent lock checks, etc).

The GIL-removal assisting changes and optimizations were merged, but the GIL removal was not.
If one good thing can be said about the crypto sphere, it is that it is the only corner of the internet where nobody expects to get anything for free. Access is already gated by a wallet containing real money; you're going to use it. This leads to some surprisingly healthy dynamics around services and software that cost money to run but would be hard to charge for in web2.
Quoting Dr. Regan:

""What I'm saying, as justifying my not needing to take the time to individually into tournaments to see which were broadcast and which were not, is that if there is any bias in my data, then it's towards broadcast games (i.e more of it is analyzed due to availability) and yet I show something entirely normal."

This is a simple logic error. The guy might be reputable but haven't really thought this through.

Quick explanation of the mistake if it's not immediately obvious: it's possible to cheat in a way that his statistical method won't catch but the difference in performance between broadcasted and not broadcasted tournaments will highlight it. His statement assumes that his statistical model will catch every cheater which is obviously nonsense. His methods might be very good in a sense that if they show cheating we can be sure cheating in fact occurred but it can't be good enough to find every cheater, if anything because of limitation of input: just the chess moves. For example he wouldn't catch a stronger GM communicating moves to Hans (it's still very human and normal, just stronger) while comparing performance in broadcasted and not broadcasted tournaments would (if someone communicated the moves to Hans in broadcasted ones).

It's very hard to take the guy seriously after that, especially when he is very arrogant about "there is no evidence" statement while it would be more prudent to say his limited statistical model didn't find any.

Wasn't this an online game? You'd think it'd be much easier to cheat in such contexts. Airport security is irrelevant if both sides play from their own chosen locations. Maybe the first step is to not use online matches anymore, or at least require both participants to agree to them.

> You can’t simply start training today and run a half marathon tomorrow, for example.

Particularly bad example - most organised half-marathons occur on a specific date, which means that there is a deadline for the training.

What the author is actually saying is 'unachievable deadlines are pointless', which I largely agree with.

> I have been saddled with debt of over 7K$ for in the job training but I see absolutley no problem with this.

Had a friend in a similar situation at start of his career.

He saw no problem until he found out he was making 50% what peers from other companies did

He couldn't leave without paying out the 'trainings' or waiting for them to expire after 2 years (which were unnecessary, very poor quality and extremely overpriced - 5000-10000$ for a 3-5 day java course done by people within the company at no cost to company...)

He wouldn't get any raises if he didn't accept further expensive trainings.

Doing any new trainings renewed existing debt too... because why not.

Eventually, after 3-4 years, he manned up, told them to pound salt, got a lawyer and ended up convincing a huge chunk of his team to also leave.
They have played us for absolute fools

"One only understands the things that one tames," said the fox. "Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me . . . "

"What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince.

"You must be very patient," replied the fox. "First you will sit down at a little distance from me--like that--in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day . . ."

The next day the little prince came back.

"It would have been better to come back at the same hour," said the fox. "If, for example, you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o'clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you . . . One must observe the proper rites . . ."

Yes, and it doesn't matter.
Novelty fallacy: why new isn’t always better
It’s funny that the base assumption is always that all bureaucracy is bad and needs to be demolished. If the same mentality has reigned in the automotive industry proper as it does in the new tech-automotive industry, the concept of crash tests would never had been invented, we’d just put the car on the market and do statistics on how many of the customers died. The concept of phased studies to show efficacy and lack of toxicity in drugs wouldn’t exist. We’d just sell whatever and stop producing the drugs that killed people and focus on the ones that seemed to work in market.

The idea that “the consumer chose the product so all responsibility is theirs” is extremely naive and not echoed anywhere else, so why is it that the crypto space seems to feel that they should be completely excerpt of all regulations even as we see constant scams, theft and real, life detailing financial damages pushed onto the consumers who enter into the space in good faith.

The first match was in person, obviously it's easier to cheat online but that's kind of secondary to the fact that Magnusson clearly already thinks the guy is a cheat. Obviously everyone can discount online games based on the ease of cheating.
