As an antidote to this, I recommend Mark Rosenfelder’s Hou tu pranownse Inglish [http://www.zompist.com/spell.html], which gives a set of rules to correctly predict the pronunciation of English words from their spelling ‘over 85% of the time’ (using a sample lexicon of 5000 words). English spelling is certainly horrible and irregular, but it isn’t unmanageably irregular.

(To illustrate the point, I supply a quote from said article of a fact which seems to be ignored curiously often: ‘George Bernard Shaw's ghoti … illustrates only Shaw's wiseacre ignorance. English spelling may be a nightmare, but it does have rules, and by those rules, ghoti can only be pronounced like goatee.)
Coming to the conclusion that models don't generalize well could be because you are seeking to create solutions to more interesting problems. I don't spend resources on an AI team and have been surprised as how well models do generalize.
Dictators lie about everything.

Modern (semi)fascism is built on lying. What we are seeing is co-option of liberal democracies by a minority of wealthy oligarchs that have to lie to voters in those democracies.

By contrast, parties that embrace rule-of-law democracy lie much less than rightwing/fascist parties. Rule-of-law democracy is based on truthful public speech and an independent press -- to reduce lying.

Allow me to make it comprehensible to you.

In Bolivia when I was teen, I loved to go to the markets and buy pirated PS2 games. Each one would be about 10 bolivianos. (Around $1.50 ish?)

Without these pirated games myself and all of my friends and people I knew would not have been able to play games period. Imagine buying a $60 + import tax for ONE GAME on a Bolivian salary? Ludicrous.

I'm very happy the PS5 will finally open and allow gamers in third world countries to play. The PS3 and PS4 to my knowledge never had that freedom the PS2 did back in the day.

If the console is properly designed, it's more of a want than a need. Even if the focus here is more on startups, this website is called hacker news after all.
I'm not sure why you're being down voted because that was exactly what drew me to the Deck. I use their client, I buy their games, but I also have a work environment setup on the desktop side, and I can still play the games I bought off GOG. I also bought a pass-through power USB3 hub off of Anker's store on Newegg to use as a dock that fits nicely in the case.
> “Türkiye” is impossible for a native English speaker to parse - it isn’t even written in our alphabet.

That seems like a minor problem. A lot of country names are learned from exposure rather than a pure phonetic reading.

E.g. should Liechtenstein be spelt Licktenstine to make it easier for an English native to parse?
Given that you're commenting on a press release announcing Fandom buying these properties, I think you're misattributing the blame here.
Because you can.

By not forbidding things like this, it can become more than just a gaming console. For example, you might end up buying one second-hand with a broken screen and using it as a home server - it even comes with its own UPS battery!
Ad fraud overwhelmingly victimizes companies that pay for ads many of whom are small businesses whereas the big companies like Google benefit because it means more volume.

> 5. Despite nominally being Wikis the Fandom wikis have effectively zero Wiki-like intrapage or interpage navigation.

The site mechanically sucks, with all the ads, needless videos, comment sections, "related content", etc, but this one is up to the writers to do. It's not Fandom's fault if writers don't integrate wiki functionality more thoroughly.

I personally never even noticed Wookiepedia or Memory Alpha switching to Fandom. They seem about the same as they always have.

(Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not blaming anybody. What has happened has happened.)
It's very interesting that Turkey is castigated for cutting interest rates.

Yet they never mention the poster child of putting interest rates up.

In Zimbabwe, which has followed the World Bank and IMF process, interest rates are 200% and inflation back at 280%.

There comes a point when we have to accept that interest rates don't really have that much power to control inflation in the real world. It's a religious devotion to a theoretical model.
I feel like Fandom and Wikipedia provide a fantastic case study in the difference of outcome between non-profit, mission driven organizations and for-profit capital driven organizations.

They were both founded by Jimmy Wales. They both have the goal of organizing information using crowdsourcing. And look at the difference in outcome.

Not really comparable as long as the corporations are still subject to market influence. Corporations that become so powerful they can ignore the wishes of their customers exhibit many of the same flaws as totalitarian governments.
I really love to ask this question during interviews too. Usually, it helps people to shine and get comfortable.

In my case, I'm really proud of the Design System I created for my company. When I arrived, the company had multiple websites and all of them had their own similar styleguides. It was complex to manage them and almost impossible to keep consistent.

I presented all the variations of the different UI components in the different sites to the team. They all understood the situation and allowed me to work on a Design System. It wasn't the most complext project I've worked on, but seeing other teams working with the Design System and enjoying creating websites with it was amazing.

This was my first project in the company and the impact was big. I couldn't be more happy with the result :)

Obviously, this is about Zero-day vulns

In the beginning they relate this to an English castle in Normandy that was defeated when in 1204 the French attackers climbed through the latrine chute to get inside. They like to start these off with some vague connection to a historical event.

Its pretty general but does have some valuable key points despite the slick infomerical feel.
College isn't trade school and I'll die on that hill.

But that said kids are pretty bad at just using computers. Courses need to spend more time on getting them up to speed with using CLI tools and familiarity with file systems.

I feel like people need to graduate into using an IDE because teaching people about build tools and configurations or scripting can be a nightmare, no one seems to know how to do it coming out of school.

Do you mean to say that a strange character in one word keeps you from tokenizing the sentence? And hence you cannot make sense of the whole sentence because of that one character (syntax parsing → semantics)? Or do you simply mean that you don’t understand what that one single character is supposed to represent (or just sound like)?

While at it: can somebody please tell me what makes the modern Web so heavyweight? Why is my Firefox process consuming so many hundreds of megs? Why GMail can peg a whole CPU core?

Apparently Qt is not significantly better: a Telegram client consumes about 400 MB, and a Qt-based music player Strawberry, about 100 MB.

I can imagine that GPU-based compositing can consume a lot of RAM for the textures used in rendering, but frankly an entire 4K screen at 32bpp is less than 32 MB, while both Telegram and Strawberry take up a small portion of it.

Or, from another angle: can a modern GUI be made to consume little RAM while remaining performant and using a GPU for rendering on larger / high-DPI surfaces?
People speak how people speak. The point is that making editorial changes to how someone speaks can change the identity embodied by the text.

Apples and oranges. Microsoft's gaming consoles are very locked down, though I haven't been paying too much attention since the Xbox 360.
I've thought about doing this, but I envision the legal headaches and DRM that will inevitably creep into the batteries being not worth the effort. It's even possible to DRM at the cell level, and I fully expect OEMs to do that.

Online marketing, its processes and practices, need to be revisited. I know some small companies that don't even have public websites, just "pages" within Fb/Insta, so their entire marketing operation relies on Meta's policies of the day.
The downside is they pivoted away from supporting running it yourself. The technology is certainly exciting but also changes the target demographic. I'm curious to see how it plays out
If you can publish research that has a finding that supports "A", but cannot publish research that supports "!A", then the only published research will say "A", whether or not "A", "!A", or something else entirely are true.

Even modest publication biases can dwarf true effect sizes in social research, and can create the illusion of consistent effects and scientific consensus when neither actually exists.
I don't know how reasonable it is to make a decent living off of YT/Twitch without an added patreon or some other revenue stream. Creators I'm a fan of constantly complain about being demonetized and unlisted, and needing to wrangle the algorithm.

Wait, is that not automatic on every single Ad network out there? WTF?

How long ago was that?
Seeing this just a couple days after the latest ZA/UM (creators of the game Disco Elysium) news feels weird. The DE situation was already ironic since that game mocked capitalism and now the people who helped fund the studio have wrecked everything to the point even the creative group that was technically separate dissolved. Now we see three very significant sites in the video game space continue to get handed around like a joint on a cold night.

It's utterly insane that we have scientific fields where even its practitioners don't believe the papers published in them. Not sustainable long term and science will only lose credibility as more and more of it eventually gets exposed as nonsense.
Maybe the market is more democratic, but we still mostly work at corporations and have very little decision power over them. Plus, markets follow laws, and those we can't influence much either.
I've worked on specific instances of this problem at a few companies and its hard! The number of ways distributed systems can fail only serves to compound the complexity here as well. Each time I've built one of these systems its taken years to get it almost good enough to keep customers happy and to meet our performance goals. However, the resulting system were plagued by deep set correctness bugs that were the bi-products of early decisions made by engineers who didn't understand correctness.

It's really exciting to see a system getting built by people who know what they are doing and will be hopefully a more "correct" solution.
Hmm, it looks like estimates go from 4000 to 27000. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_due_to_the_Chernobyl_di...:

> There is consensus that a total of approximately 30 people died from immediate blast trauma and acute radiation syndrome (ARS) in the seconds to months after the disaster, respectively, with 60 in total in the decades since, inclusive of later radiation induced cancer.[2][3][4] However, there is considerable debate concerning the accurate number of projected deaths that have yet to have occurred due to the disaster's long-term health effects; long-term death estimates range from up to 4,000 (per the 2005 and 2006 conclusions of a joint consortium of the United Nations) for the most exposed people of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, to 16,000 cases in total for all those exposed on the entire continent of Europe, with figures as high as 60,000 when including the relatively minor effects around the globe. Such numbers are based on the heavily contested Linear no-threshold model.

I think the under-100 numbers are just from the direct effects, disregarding the excess deaths among the "liquidators" and other people exposed to radioactivity after the accident.
ISA bus is basically just quasi-memory bus with some extras. You get address, you either get data or send data, done.

You just set an address and write/read data to it.

All you need to do simple input/output on it is to

* wait for "right" address on bus and "right" pins to light up
* either latch the data, or output the data
* bang the right control bit.

It is entirely doable using basic logic chips, because back then any kind of programmable logic was super expensive.

Compare it to usb-c where you need tens of thousands of lines of code to even negotiate some power stuff (or use specialized chips... that have those tens of thousands of lines of code baked in).
The PS3 had a unique CPU design that made it suitable for certain specialized tasks. The PS5 is much closer to an off-the-shelf gaming PC, and so I don't think there's any good reasons to use a PS5 in that way, especially since PS5s are difficult to even buy in the first place.
It probably won’t or be locked to an specific version where only a subset of games will work, provided you never go online etc.

Didn't stop a massive effort to change the English spelling and pronunciation of Kiev to the difficult to pronounce (for English speakers) Kyiv to pretend like it stuck it to Putin somehow. Along those lines next time Germany invades its neighbors we might as well adopt the Czech name for it (Nemecko, or land of the mutes) as an insult to stick it to the Krauts. Or if Hungary acts up we can use an archaic Czech name for Hungary that also means land of the pimples (Uhersko). I get the feeling Czechs didn't like their neighbors much.

From a technical point of view Materialize seems absolutely fantastic - everything that the Firebase databases are trying to be, except with full SQL support (well, minimal SQL support - there's no RETURNING, ON CONFLICT or json - but probably good enough, we at least get JOINs and CTEs).

But unfortunately they only seem to be interested in enterprise customers: Not only is it not open source, but there's no open sign up and pricing for compute nodes isn't publicly available!

> there's a never-ending stream of passionate people happy to produce said content altruistically out there

This is the concept that is most frequently left out of otherwise thoughtful analyses on the topic at hand.

Although I would not label the motivation as purely altruistic, what many people fail to realize is that people who create art of any kind, and have honest motivations for doing so, are going to be doing it no matter the profit potential. Personally, I am a music composer [0] and I must make music. I am so unconcerned by profit that I have given all of my work away for free for more than a decade. I do all of my album releases on a podcast feed so that people never have to pay money, accept the terms of service of Spotify, or be raped by ad tech just to hear my work.

To me, payment is the fact that people heard my work. On that metric alone, SoundCloud has given me a lot more "payment" than any other online service out there, since it was so apparent when people did engage with my work, and those engagements were very meaningful to me on the whole.
