Answer:

"The leading theory holds that tickling provokes laughter thanks to a prediction error by the brain. An unpredictable touch confuses it, sending it into a mini frenzy. Self-touch is always predictable … so, no frenzy.

But Brecht thinks it’s not really about prediction. Instead, he suggests that as a person touches themselves, the brain sends out a body-wide message that inhibits touch sensitivity. “We think what is happening is the brain has a trick to know: As soon as you touch yourself, don’t listen,” he says. If it didn’t, he argues, we’d all be constantly tickling ourselves every time we scratched an armpit or touched our toes."

The question was mildly interesting but I'm pretty grumpy about reading long, long, loooong articles that are supposed to answer N questions, where the answers are buried deep in some random location/s... :-p I guess this one is just around 4/5 pages or so, but the answer fits in just two paragraphs.

> The innocent person has a 75% change of being convicted.

If the conviction rate is 75%, and the percent of convictions that are innocent is 5%, wouldn't that make an innocent's conviction chance at most 30%?

Edit: I'm silly. It's at least 30%. If some of the unconvicted are guilty, the denominator of innocents is smaller.

You're kidding? After 20 seconds? Ridiculous. Most people would be getting out of the car to inspect damage and any injuries, not attending to their iPhone's urgent needs.

And if you do need to make a call, the emergency services would appreciate more information that what a recorded message blurts out. So most would call a second time after the initial time-waster bot call. I'm amazed this is allowed.
I’m not arguing that I don’t derive value from my taxes. Like you said there are benefits from the next generation, social stability etc. Just that I don’t necessarily derive value proportional to the amount I pay.
I can tickle myself too and do it frequently. It always surprises me though. I can’t tickle myself intentionally. I can come very close! I can get the physical sensation, but not the tickle reaction that’s involuntary.
The regulators are actually quite sophisticated and have many undocumented registers that set how things like the communications with the processor work, nonlinear control algorithms, etc.

NTSC may be gone now, but to avoid the need for frame rate conversion during simultaneous analog and digital broadcasts, and for compatibility with older equipment and recordings, the U.S. broadcasters all adopted (and continue to use) SD and HD digital formats with 30/1.001 or 60/1.001 frame rates.

(See also: drop frame time code.)
I tried a language with which I am unfamiliar, and do not think I could learn anything this way.

It was fun to practice with a language I'm functional with, but not a conversation.

I asked the thing if it was GPT-3 and it changed the subject to a very eliza-like prompt.

I was somewhat disappointed that there was only one "need" for holistic systems presented: the fact that correctable DIMM errors were getting eaten by underlying firmware. While I don't necessarily disagree with the speaker's premise, I'd have at least liked to see more than one example of why this is important - I can't say that I've walked away with a good idea of why that is. The fact that correctable versus uncorrectable DIMM errors were differentiable tells me that there already _is_ an interface that allows propagating both up to the OS, and that the firmware of the system just wasn't fully implementing it.

Each step up in the food chain costs you about 90% of biomass / energy.

In any case, I'd be a pretty bad gardener. I'm more valuable to society (and thus my own wallet, too) when employed making computers run slightly better.

Not all proprietary software currently insists that you get into a TPM-mediated Dom/sub relationship with its developers. Its currently possible, and might be ethically necessary, not to buy those ones, and instead to buy the other ones.

But it's also probably important to pursue a political avenue as well. The government should absolutely not be using this stuff, and shouldn't be advising citizens to do it to access government services. We could even pass a law requiring purchased hardware and software to meet a fiduciary standard towards its users.
Not at all, the reason businesses feel compelled to add that buffer between software engineers and the business is because software engineers tend to make lousy decisions in terms of understanding the actual product requirements…at least in my experience.

Yes, I didn’t want the person I was responding to to say that I was being dramatic but when food and water are unstable and migrations disrupt those around them, societies get more desperate and can become more aggressive and war is the result.
That's XKeyscore, not PRISM (sorry that sounds like a nitpick…). But no NSA program ever involved secret cooperation from Apple or Google; that's why they were spying on Google datacenter traffic by tapping it. Why telecom companies did cooperate seems like a cultural question.

(Remember they both said explicitly said they never cooperated, and it's illegal for companies to lie to you, or for the government to make them lie to you. If they were lying, you can sue them for securities fraud. They can refuse to answer questions, of course, which is the usual approach when they don't want to talk about something, but that's quite different from explicit denials.)
There's a machine described in here which is compatible with both the Apple ][ and CP/M systems, at a comparable price point to either one. As a naive buyer, why would I have _not_ purchased this system?
It’s the proportion of payment vs benefit. We intentionally have a set up where some people pay more into the system than they might get out of it. This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. But then by the same token some people will be paying an “unfair” amount.

Eg if I make a million a year, I might pay 500k in taxes. Someone making 50k a year might pay 10k. I don’t get an extra 450k a year worth of benefit from my taxes. This is intended and is ok. But I think we should also acknowledge that this happens.
Isn’t this just a trie with only two levels? It seems to me that this technique isn’t particularly unknown, as it’s taught in most elementary CS courses.
I used an Akitio Node 3 with RX580 for years, works fine on macOS, Linux and Windows on both Thunderbolt 2 (reduced performance) and Thunderbolt 3.

Only reason I stopped using it is because I used it less and had more use for it on Linux than anywhere else, so it's permanently installed in a Linux desktop machine now. It works passthrough to a Windows VM as well. The Intel Mac it was connected to is no longer used with more than 2 displays so the internal GPU works well enough, and an M1 has no problems with it either.

For the time where I used it, it was a perfect solution for me; lots of portable use, but when working from home more the portability aspect isn't worth much. Add to that that GPU usage on-the-go is pretty much gone for me (most GPU workloads just run on AWS for me now), and having a high-power GPU connected to a laptop just doesn't help me with anything.

If in the future I'd need more local GPU power than a mobile device (in a form factor I enjoy) can handle, maybe it'll be interesting again. Have one at home, another at an office, only move the laptop between places...
100% agree. It’s soooo painful messing with device trees and building a boot image. I’ve got a rock pi n10 for which I’ve been struggling to compile a newer kernel image that works (the device vendor has only published Linux ISOs up to buster). The whole process is so weird and rough, working with u-boot and ARM Trusted firmware, device trees, etc. it’s like a 20 step process to go through. Installing Gentoo for the first time is 10x easier, in my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback. It's mostly for practising a language as a side, not as a MAIN language learning tool.
PS: No, it's not GPT-3.
Yeah absolutely. Webassembly.sh was a big inspiration for my original build for Runno (https://runno.dev). The `prompt` issue is caused by code-rot, it used to work but then stopped working after browsers standardised a workaround for Spectre vulnerabilities in `SharedArrayBuffer`. Runno uses some neat tricks to get around this even when `SharedArrayBuffer` isn't available.

Part of the reason I started working on this playground was because I felt like the Wasmer WASI runner didn't work in the ways I wanted it to. Having a full end-to-end understanding of my WASI implementation has really helped, and I'm looking forward to moving Runno over to my new WASI runtime.
As a result of the stimulus, developed countries had their biggest increases in broad money supply since the 1940s. Throughout 2020 and 2021, I began comparing the 2020s decade to the 1940s decade, and wrote at length about how this big blend of fiscal and monetary policy would likely be inflationary for broad prices.

Too bad the crypto hasn't worked out nearly as well as other forecasts. Also, the dollar has surged despite weakness in the bond market.

So maybe now is the time to buy treasuries given that these type of victory lap posts tend to mark either bottoms or tops. The bond market is pricing in huge inflation right now. Even inflation that is high but not absurdly high may still be bullish given all the negativity priced in the market. Also you don't need to hedge all of the inflation, just enough to live off of. If you got $2 million in the bank, then $80k/income plus social security will be enough even if your real return is -5%.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but if I insert all 32 bit keys, does that not take 32*2^32 space?
Unrelated to the question, but what is "a points rating system of 4.5-5.0"? Do you literally have the lowest score be 4.5?
Microsoft was really aggressive about getting the dev tools out there in that era. In the mid 90s when my brother went to an academic conference as an undergrad he got handed free cds of NT 4.0 and the entire Visual Studio product line. That's where I first messed around with a lot of stuff too, such as that horrible Scribble MFC tutorial.
Agreed - I remember working on something that only service Australian customers and charged in Australian dollars, but Stripe didn't do much when there was a massive influx of overseas cards charging in US dollars.

Stripe Radar costing money is a bit annoying too - my solution was to block non-Australian cards - but the only way to do that is with Radar, which costs money. Radar doesn't let you whitelist currencies either.
Thanks, tell me what you think once you try it some more.
Corporations aren't democracies, they are government-regulated entities designed to turn a profit. Historically, working people have fought and even died en masse against corporate power in order secure the basic rights that we take for granted today.

If you can't see the struggle of power between working people, their communities, and their environments with corporate greed, I suggest reading up on the history of labor struggles or major criminal suits surrounding environmental regulation.

I used to work in marketing, corporations tell people what they want and they are very effective at it. If you think people are greedy for wanting things like a home they can afford or to not have their farmland and groundwater poisoned by fracking, then there is a serious disconnect with humanity as a whole.

That is really the defining characteristic of the ideology of the wealthy ruling class, total disconnect from the needs and realities of the everyday person in exchange for a desire to seek profit. Even worse is trying to shift the blame onto the victims of said irresponsible profit-seeking behavior.

Unless you are a member of that class, defending them or their ideology won't win you any brownie points. You can succeed in business without crossing these lines, but many people want more than just success and are willing to cross all the lines.

Things like child labor, regime changes, massive global tax evasion schemes, war profiteering, and destruction of natural resources are really indefensible, no matter how you try to twist it. If the government can't prevent these things on behalf of the people, then it has failed and needs replacing. That's my last word on the matter.

So, if you have a great idea for a business based on GPT-3, don't do it because you might be able to finish it in an afternoon? That seems better than having a great idea with many barriers to entry.

It is obvious to me that these decisions will become more and more difficult. I am certain that at some point (not sure if 10 years from now or 50) driverless tech will be safer than people--by a margin of say 99%. I am equally certain that this will be accompanied by a set of accidents unique to the driverless tech. I think of it as similar to compilers. When I started programming PCs assembly was always king. C got better and better. 10 years into my career C was mostly better. Now C/C++/Rust etc. almost never need code rewritten in ASM.
The only way it can not be noise is if you have no idea what your types are. That's a terrible way to code.

If I'm working on a function foo(bar, baz), I know exactly what bar and baz are before looking at a single line of it, I've been tracing the code through to that function, how could I not know what the data types are at that point?
I’ve mentioned this on another sibling comment, but amateur radio is where you need to look. It took me about 6 months of casual study to go through all three license classes (tech took me like 2 weeks), and you learn quite a bit about everything you’ve mentioned in the process. More than that, you gain a license which allows you to legally experiment with this stuff.
I'm assuming they mean "the dashboard", the page that shows at `https://github.com/` if you're logged in. That page has the latest changes from people you follow, recent blog posts from GitHub, etc. Pretty useless IMHO.

The answer to OP's question is that there is no plugin for this, there is a URL for this. If they type in "github.com" in their browser that is what they will get, but if they bookmark the page they want to go to (or select it enough times among the address bars' suggestions) it will automatically become the first suggestion for "git<enter>". A surprising Ask HN indeed.

Or use this GreaseMonkey script:

> How corporations conduct themselves is similar to how governments conduct themselves. They’re beholding to the will of the people.

sort of... i think there is a part of the blame to be put on advertising/marketing departments as well... its not 100% one-way but more of a bad feedback loop kind of thing imo

>"Q. Is Enzian open-source?

A. We’re releasing all of the software we write for Enzian as open source.

It is our goal to also open-source as much of the FPGA doughnut as we can, including our implementation of ECI, which is needed to understand how to talk to the CPU in more interesting ways than just shared memory. We will own the board design, so it may be possible and/or a good idea to release that as well, but (as we have discovered) the hardware industry has very different ideas about what can and cannot be released."

Timing adjustment per x number of data bits has been required since DDR3 but DDR4 also has internal reference voltage calibration for DQ bits (VREF_DQ). This voltage sets threshold by which the IO cell determines if a voltage represents a logic high or low. This VREF_DQ value is calibrated per x number of bits in addition to adjusting the timing to try to find the best place to sample the signal.
