He’s weird but he self-describes as a conservative and his major actions have been in line with increasingly mainstream Republican positions (e.g. attacking the credibility of Sandy Hook parents to limit their attempts to get gun control legislation, attacks on LGBTQ people).

If anyone leading that party wanted to distance themselves from him, they could easily do so but they don’t because he’s useful for keeping a certain group of people riled up.
It might depend on who you socialize with. But among my peers, the dating after one meetup in club or pub was super rare. Like, I know one guy who dated like that and none of those relationships worked out. I had exactly one relationship that started with only few days on knowing each other, but those days were pretty intense (first relationships ever and short one).

Pretty much everyone else including me dated people we knew before at least as acquittances. And those relationships are the ones that ended up being long term and with kids.
It's got one glaring omission IMO - references to sci-fi literature. They crop up in a lot of threads :)
Sure, Jane Street was the wrong example. A hedge fund, or as you say Berkshire Hathaway. But the point is, if you think that someone with deep pockets and somewhat long time horizons can reliably make money just by reading the publicly available financial information and making ordinary insurance from it, why aren't they?

And I think the answer that is confident with reality is, "actually, they do, and price in that information, such that there's no alpha left from it. Perhaps people with particular knowledge and expertise can synthesize that information with other knowledge to make useful predictions, but for an average layperson, is priced in."

I don't think the lack of LAN support is really that big of a deal - you can still go to a friend's house and play together in a private game while using game servers. In fact, I'm doing that today - bringing my laptop and playing Humankind with friends at their house. I think that still counts as a LAN party in spirit.
Ask HN: Why don't people learning to drive use simulators?
It seems to me that people should spend their first few hours of driving lessons in a simulator, instead of on the road:

-Less scary for learners.

-Less inconvenient for other road users.

-Safer for everyone.

-Probably cheaper for the driving school in the long run.

-Lower carbon emissions.

But this doesn't seem to be a thing, in the UK at least. Why not? Surely it can't be that expensive to create a simple car simulator with steering wheel, gears and pedals. And the graphics could be pretty basic by modern game standards.

This is what happened when a company has marketing departments making such decisions unchecked. Sun had the same problem with their idiot marketing dept naming the Sun Niagra systems bizarre names like CoolThreads 1000 and systems with numbers like 5420. Larry came in and said it was stupid and to name them precisely what they were so they became T3-1, T4-2, etc. to indicate the chip generation and the number of chips on the system board.
Actually I think this would be relatively easy, you're just looking for a bit of alignment in worldview and significant desperation.
Possible it was a sting but much more likely you were just being scammed. I guess depends on the country but in the US it is not illegal to pay someone to hang out with you.

I think you're confusing a couple of different things. The eagle goat footage from Frozen Planet was shot by Attenborough's own team. There was nothing faked about it.

There is some older footage of a similar thing but it's from a film and is all fake. The Frozen Planet footage is the first time it's been recorded for real.

There is also some Frozen Planet footage showing an eagle's view of flying over some mountains. That footage did use a trained eagle mainly because it's difficult to strap a camera to the back of a wild eagle and still have a face left.

I feel like OP is almost claiming the opposite. Art isn't clearly defined - there's no "correct art". Therefore whether you prefer art generated by an AI to art generated by a human artist is, within some margin in a blind test, random.

If I have a human and an AI go illustrate a manual for assembling my new sofa, or produce the advertising materials for the grand opening of a local restaurant, it's much easier for the AI to clearly produce an incorrect illustration in a way a human generally wouldn't.
That's what I did. Tons of Gran turismo and GTA.

Not great examples. Source #1 (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/21/well/move/how-exercise-ma...) says "And of course, mice are not people, and it is impossible to know if the same changes occur in our synapses when we exercise." and source #2 (https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/why-do-smart-pe...) says that smart people tend to live longer and they list several reasons for that including a lower accident and homicide rates. One contributing factor was that smart people are less likely to have certain health problems like high blood pressure and cholesterol that can kill people later in life. It's a big leap from that to smart people are healthier.
Just taken a look. It's very nice to use. It appears a little early at the moment, and I'm not sure, but it would be nice if it had integrated puppeteer integration for e2e testing (I didn't look for very long, so I may have missed it!).

In Delphi, closures are implemented pretty much exactly as your second variant. They're implemented using a compiler-generated class.

A difference is that you can't specify capture type, all captured variables are stored as fields in the class, and any outer references (such as x here) are replaced to use the field in the instance:

struct GetxFunctionObject {
int x;
int operator()() { return x; }
};
const auto getx = GetxFunctionObject();
getx.x = 5; // compiler automatically changes "x = 5" to this
getx(); // 5

Modulo any it's-too-early-in-the-morning-to-write-C++ mistakes I made.

I can't recall the details if multiple closures captures the same variable, might be the "obvious" solution of a shared data-class instance.

I'm honestly really curious about this. Could you elaborate?
That may be true of the kind of art that people go to galleries for, or hang on their walls and admire. But most professional artists make a living off of commercial work. If AI image generation advances far enough, many of those people could be out of a job. The purity of art won't save them.

>Indeed. With every day that goes by without NATO publicly publishing proof of Russia being the culprit, Russian responsibility seems less likely. If Russia did it, going public with that proof would be great for America/NATO and harmful to Russia.

Harmful to Russia?

Do you realize they're invading a country and stealing land? There's no more harm for Russia, they did it to themselves.

The countries that align with Russia have already done, the neutral ones don't care.
You could use it for getting an address that will be linked in later. On GCC I get a warning (which I don't think I can mask) for taking the address of such an object, because its expression is type void. A better way of achieving this is usually to declare something like extern unsigned char foo[] instead, but that has a type other than void*.

Ok. Don't know if it is sufficient in a long term perspective, but time will tell.

Apparently there used to be a "vouch" link that would appear to counteract flags, but it seems like they got rid of it at some point in the past few years.
HN being focused on tech allows it to be somewhat like a streamlined forum section with clear and implemented moderation guidelines.

Without any of the other fluff/crud.

I.e, Facebook could work similarly if it was just private/public groups run by group admins/moderators. (except it kills their ad model)
Twitter could work similarly if there was no pure 'public' thread and everything had to sit under a topic or group. (except it kills their ad model) - or it switches to having business/personal accounts, where business accounts can broadcast yet personal accounts must be in a group/topic or responding to a business post.

In other other words, I think one big issue is the "I can post whatever to everyone any time" in no particular topic or group or category, and the money that chaos can bring.
Yes, as it isn't a big factor in determining the behavior if the approach. You probably see, from time to time, couples really unequal in term of physical attraction so it isn't impossible to be with someone who is more physically attractive than you.
It depends on how you set it up. You can use a very non-expressive valuation that assigns a score, but then you need to use reinforcement learning techniques to transform that score to a model update. Alternatively, if your valuation represents a differentiable metric function from your target you have a way of going directly from your output to a model update.

The second way requires dramatically fewer update steps (usually) than the first. Thus - having your adversarial target be differentiable definitely helps, though it is possible to do even absent such a criterion.

> I know that Zen 1 is older then Zen 3, because that's how the naming scheme works.

I think GP's point is that "zen" is the architecture, same as some random lake. Sure, 2 comes before three, whereas it's not clear whether the sky comes before the tiger.

Whereas the AMD model number is 5600, say.

But then you have interesting things, like 5500U mobile parts which are actually "zen 2+" and others, like the 5560U which are "zen 3".

This was an issue for me last year when attempting to jump on the "zen 3 bandwagon", but having to look up "enterprise laptop" models, which wouldn't specify which kind of zen the cpu was, only some xyz number. Most were 4xxx, so I knew those were "mobile zen 2", but I almost picked one of the "zen 2+" 5xxx models.

I haven't followed things that closely, but I'm pretty confident that an intel Xyyy is "gen X". And, usually, marketing copy says i5-Xyyy.
Debatable at least..
I think she's confusing representation, manual [1] processing of representations, and automated processing of representations.

Writing, drawing, and on-paper math are representational media. The process of writing, drawing, or calculating/proving is a form of manual processing because it requires organisation and transformation of representations.

Automated - computed - processing is a completely new category. It's a metaprocess which allows processes themselves to be represented and processed mechanically.

A lot of computing only does this is in a very basic way. The web is essentially a document distribution medium. Note organisers are essentially just a paper substitute that let you draw arrows and move things around, possibly with some hyperlinks.

They're both representations that support manual processing but don't improve on it. So they don't offer metaprocessing for most users. And with current tools metaprocessing is barely an option for most developers.

A genuine automated tool for thought would do the organising and summarising for you, perhaps teaching you if you needed that. But more - it would also improvise its own processes for achieving those ends.

Or at least make it easier for you to improvise your own at an abstract level that would be much higher than conventional code representations.

The "Driver's Ed" class I had in the 80s had simulators; controls in front of a TV screen. Not interactive but there was some "scoring system" where the teacher could see some of what you were doing with your controls and if it was inappropriate for that stage in the movie.

The things that are important about modern cars to me are the safety features.

It's amazing that cars these days will warn you or even steer you back when you're drifting out of a lane, for example, or alert you when you're backing up and they sense a car or pedestrian coming your way, or cameras that are so much easier to see through than fogged-up or snow-covered windows.

Honestly this take is very strange to me and I think is indicative of a huge difference in how people experience dating apps. Another comment said the desire to chat for days before meeting was correlated with women, which we know receive orders of magnitude more messages on average then men.

Hypothesis: this behavior is correlated with how many messages you receive, so very attractive men with a photographer buddy likely have the same approach.

If you have 10 suitors at a time, it makes sense to filter them using days of texting. Much less time investment than going on a date with each of them.

When you have 1 or 2 matches a month, the texting game is a bigger waste of time.

> Additionally, during the omicron wave the exemption from restrictions one would get for a confirmed case only lasted for a number of months, making it not worth it for many people.

I was waiting in the cold with covid symptoms for over an hour in the line, just to be told that I was not eligible for the Bürgertest, even though my partner was confirmed PCR-positive, but rapid tests did not detect my and my partner's covid.

It was already known at that time that rapid tests had poor detection rates for omicron.

I then found a doctor who was willing to do the test, which turned out to be positive. I only went through this instead of just recovering at home, because I really wanted to have the certificate, because I suspected already that it would later serve as certificate for "full immunization", because that's what science already suggested at that point.

The STIKO at that time clearly advised against getting booster shots within three months after infection, but without certificates there was no way to prove prior infection and people were cut off from 2G, even though they were technically entitled to the exemptions. The BMG and RKI basically bullied people into taking boosters. Enhanced myocarditis risk was known too already at that point. The BMG and RKI constantly changed the rules in hand-wavy last-minute decisions to make it extra confusing for everyone.

Agree with your 1st statement, I dont think split screen had anything to do with LAN parties. There was no network with split screen.

However I don't think LAN died because of tower size. Maybe towers got a tad bigger at some point, but monitors got way thinner. I've done a few LAN parties on laptop even. I think they just died because it was easier to play over global network, and subsequently LAN mode disappear from games.
