This happens in other markets just fine, one that springs to mind is oscilloscopes. Often you will find that a the hardware in one model is the same as the hardware in scopes in the same "family", what differs is software / locks set. This allows the manufacturer save on costs during manufacture but place the R&D cost (and profit from that R&D) onto the customers requiring those needed features.

Its quite common to buy a lower end scope and unlock some extra sample size, seom extra bandwidth, some extra decoders by following a guide found on the net. (My personal theory as to why manufacturers don't lock these down more is because it gets home lab engineers more inclined to buy a brand they know they can hack and get the best bang for their buck in the hopes that will help drive sales when it comes to their companies requiring new lab gear).

If I were to give Intel the benefit of the doubt, They currently have a sizable SKU count in any generation of processor that are basically the same silicon under the hood just binned/hardware locked differently based on any manufacturing defeats and customer demand. If the locks already exist (be it hardware locks atm) why not move those locks to software and allow customers to unlock extra features as required?

As long as Intel don't a) convert to a "pay as you go"/subscription model or b) pump up the base price to gouge customers on common features I'm not going to loose any sleep over it, however but it wouldn't be the first time a company has fucked over customers.
You're right!

(But since querySelectorAll returns a NodeList and not a regular array, some methods are unavailable, so I just have this habit of making it an array. But for iteration that's indeed not needed.)
To get the mouse to move the cursor beyond line endings you also have to give the -floatmouse CLI option to joe.

It also seems that you do need to enter lines before the cursor will position below the end of the file (which for an empty file is at the top of the window).

Otherwise, for me, in an xterm, with -floatmouse and -mouse activated, cursor positioning via the mouse in an xterm works just fine.

If you already have text in the file, then just -mouse allows positioning on the existing text.
My country's(Poland) GDP per capita grew 8-9x over the past 30 years.

My personal take is that it's not just the political system during this time, but the transition from communism to a market economy that made it happen.

The centrally-planned economy back then had interesting features, among them generally full employment and frankly ridiculous expectations regarding the amount of work(at least in terms of hours).

All this proved to be fertile ground for a burgeoning hustle culture when people found that their labour can actually amount to something in a market economy.

My generation grew up with largely absent parents because in the 90s it was normal to have a side hustle or do overtime on a regular basis.

You see this a lot in other countries that were economically successful - with enough people disregarding their health and private life you can really move forward at a rapid pace.

I'm conflicted whether this is a good thing really.
On the one hand, this causes a deeply ingrained negative reaction in me.

On the other, people have been paying hundreds (thousands?) of dollars for digital tunes to reflash their ECU to add more horsepower/torque for years now.

That is a one time fee as opposed to a subscription, so maybe therein lies the problem.

I would think that a good command-line is one that responds to me within milliseconds on a crapbox i386 machine, and I can COMMAND it what to do.
A good command-line is not a binary blob that cannot parse simple instructions correctly.

Yes it does, but not in support of your thesis.

Angry Birds made a fortune by targeting every phone user for 79p. Apple far more so by putting a phone in millions of pockets. Amazon makes money based on lots of small transactions by non-rich people. Bugatti makes money by targeting a few rich people. You can go big, but have a few customers, or go small and have loads. This is why we have any products to buy - you can do well selling to all sorts of income levels. You just need the right product at the right price.

Confusion and fear of dwelling in a lower intelligence bracket (because maybe smart people understood the answer) is a simple way to hand-wave the problem away. You don’t understand? Perhaps you can’t!

This is not very good history. Firearms didn’t replace bows and crossbows, nor did crossbows ever fully replace bows. Almost all premodern and early modern Western armies predominantly used melee weapons; eventually, they standardized on the pike. Most Western armies first used firearms in pike-and-shot formations that combined pikemen and arquebusiers. Over time, especially as the arquebus gave way to the flintlock musket, the relative proportions of pikes to firearms shifted towards firearms more and more. The invention of bayonets, which allowed the musket to be used similarly to a pike in close combat, led to the end of pikes.

The musket, and especially the arquebus, was not the lethal and precise kind of firearm we have today. There is a reason the Patriots at Bunker Hill held their fire until they could see the whites of the redcoats’ eyes: if you lost your nerve and shot any sooner than that, you were unlikely to make a lethal hit. The reason musket battles took the form of formations of line infantry exchanging volleys of gunfire is because that was the best way to use the musket, not because Western armies and the men who organized them were stupid.

Which also ties into the training question. Most training at the time focused on close-order formation drills, not on individual prowess. This was true for Napoleonic infantry just as it had been true for pikemen, Roman legions, and Greek phalanxes. Victory depended on line infantry working as a cohesive, disciplined unit that wouldn’t break or shatter easily.

Okay, so what about archers? In the Western context, archers were part of what we today would call “combined arms” to supplement line melee infantry. The idea that “it took many years of practice to build an archer skillful and strong enough to be of use in warfare” is partially true. It was especially true of the English longbow, but that was an outlier in many ways in being an unusually long and heavy bow which could pierce armor. The English longbow requires years of training mostly because of the extreme draw weight, which was atypical among Western bows. It was kind of true for steppe horse archers, except it was less training and more of a way of life for them.

As for “expanding the number of people in a given population that could become soldiers”, training was never a meaningful bottleneck for that in the pre-firearms era. Training time was important for professional soldiers, but the bulk of medieval armies were poorly trained peasants armed with melee weapons, and the bottleneck on calling them up had more to do with the need for farm labor.
I suggest that you read up on the 518 incident before claiming that Democratizing South Korea was peaceful.
Blatantly false claims and "hype" need to be addressed immediately and strongly when they're being pushed into places that actually matter, like city streets and medical science.
The title of the submission stands for "Why have not we managed to obtain a codified body of solutions from success stories".

And for "why we instead are beyond poverty", that is a most peculiar question to be asked to Hackers, crafters of tools, engineers, providers of solutions, efficiency augmenters.
Same thing with making wildly optimistic claims about "obsoleting human radiologists in five years", made more than five years ago by another AI bigwig Geoffrey Hinton. They are doubtless brilliant researchers in their field, but they seem to view AI as a sort of cheat code to skip the stage where you actually have to understand the first thing about the problem domain to which it is applied, before getting to the "predictions about where the field is going".

Very similar to crypto evangelists boldly proclaiming the world of finance as obsolete. Rumours of you understanding how the financial system works were greatly exaggerated, my dudes.

This is why industry > academia, imo.

At the end of the day, all of the noise of negativity and bad press is being drowned out by incredible demos. I don't know what to chalk this up to if not jealousy. Most people in the ML-o-sphere are ignoring it.

At the end of the day, all that matters is: are users using what you built?
DMOZ was and is freely licensed though. This one makes for a nice proof of concept, but there's no mention of availability or reusability for any of this data.
Also, outside of SCIF environments (which do get prioritized), there isn’t a whole lot that is feasible for DOD or other gov’t agencies to do while still using civilian technology or working habits, which they don’t really have an option on right now.

Typically that requires a serious crisis and/or war. Hopefully not the case here.
But no one chose to be presented with that choice. Ideally we would be able to have both biometric privacy and international travel.

Well, to be fair, a lot of people probably do support the idea that their own country checks the documents of people who enter and exit through their borders, and are maybe glad that the country they are visiting is similarly careful, but in principle, someone might want to emigrate to Antarctica, and never return to their country of birth, and for them it would be an unnecessary burden to have to apply for a passport.
It may hurt their pride, but it’s not attacking them, it’s criticizing the product.
Fair. I think of DSLs as a way of thinking about the program you want to write; if a scheme is realizable with few compromises in an existing language, it can still be considered "DSL style". SICP calls this style "stratified design".

I kinda agree with LeCun here. Why can't companies and people just put out cool things that have faults? Now we have a tool that got pulled, not because any concrete harm, only outrage over theoretical harm. It is not the tool, not the people finding faults, but people reaction's that seem like they have gone too far.

Ask HN: Is Apple Find My a Joke?

It has never once reminded me when I’ve left my AirPod 3s behind, but has multiple times alerted me when they were in my pocket.
The one time I thought I lost them, they hadn’t checked in for hours (while in my pocket) and it couldn’t tell me that they were actually in the same room as me.

I am not in the US so maybe there’s some problem with it in this country.
I think you're misinterpreting. It's not Windows itself that's sinking, it's the customizability of Windows. As people who care about user control switch to other OS's, the demand for custom Windows drops. Even gamers may simply dual-boot or own two setups if they want customization or privacy — you don't need much in terms of an OS to simply start a full-screen video game.

By contrast, XP was very customizable. I used to like BBLean.
A wine sommelier once told me that she reads wine reviews from people she disagrees with.

It's not about whether the reviewer is right; the sommelier knows where the reviewers tastes lie relative to her own. If something is too nutty for the reviewer, it may be just right for her.

I think this also applies to art criticism. The way someone complains about (or praises!) a movie or book can tell me a lot about whether I'll like it, regardless of whether I agree with them.
US military intervention and economic uplifting are partly two different things.

I would limit this discussion to "how can a once poor country become an industrialized economy".

Since not all countries do this, the question is incredibly interesting. Perhaps I were too harsh but "US helped them" is not a satisfactory answer.

The fact that north korea is poor and south korea is not, is an interesting part of this puzzle as rare empirical sample of an area with roughly equivalent starting position well into modern history, and it should not be explained away by "because US duh".

I found "Why Nations Fail" an extremely interesting book pondering the puzzle of apparent differences in economic outcomes between countries and warmly suggest it to anyone interested in the topic. It's not really about state failure but about the bigger picture of what makes some states successfull (using the metrics of the author of course).
> and generated wiki articles about the history of bears in space as readily as ones about protein complexes and the speed of light. It’s easy to spot fiction when it involves space bears, but harder with a subject users may not know much about.

Well, that matches our current experience with human-written Wikipedia articles pretty closely then.
Yes, it's clearly part of my point that language models are insufficient to produce high quality professional text.

Facebook's intent with the model was quite clear; the abstract of the paper says this:
"In this paper we introduce Galactica:
a large language model that can store, combine and reason about scientific knowledge... these results demonstrate the potential for language models as a new interface for science. We open source the model for the benefit of the scientific community."

I didn't expect it to make science for me- that would be quite impressive (it's been the guiding principle for my 30+ years in science)- but I do expect the demo to be less bad.
I like the ideal number of clicks. But somewhat agree on sky etc. should come in order.

My choices vary.

More recently, I’ve been listening to my local NPR station which plays classical for majority of my work day. At lunch, they have FreshAir and later in the afternoon All Things Considered. Depending on how focused I need to be, I’ll find something else to listen to during the non-music periods.

One thing I’ve noticed is I find it hard to listen to anything with words or lyrics if I need to focus but instrumental music (classical, jazz, electronic) helps me focus.

So, can anyone explain why a password manager is better?

The magic here comes from Smalltalk's object memory system, which makes this object easy. (Well.. okay.. not completely easy, but simple.)

Also... I know in Digitalk, you couldn't do a become: on SmallInteger because of the way their object memory worked, but don't remember if this was a limitation of SmallTalk-80 or Squeak.

Which is to say... when you have time, if you haven't done it already, do a search on "smalltalk object memory" or "Loom" or "bluebook object memory." There are some great references from the dawn of time.
I actually did open up about:memory a few hours ago and now, and it looks like some growth is coming from "heap-unclassified" in the main process.

Not always, but typically, higher-fiber carbs don't spike your blood glucose as much.

Practically, this means having steel cut oatmeal for breakfast instead of Cheerios. Prepare them savory instead of sweet, like you might with grits.

As someone who claims to believe this - what do you make of the revelation that Clinton herself, with the DNC, deliberately elevated Trump's campaign?

... And we know this to be true because of Wikileaks, lol.

https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaig...

Hillary and the DNC also worked to undermine Sanders, though he had far, far better polling vs Trump than Hillary did.

At that time, Hillary was the second most disliked politician in the country. Only Trump was lower. Bernie was the most liked. By a lot.

So again - the second-most hated politician in America worked with the DNC to attack the most popular politician, while making sure that Trump got as much attention as possible...

...And you blame Wikileaks for Trump winning. You really see no problem with this?

The irony of naming this Cicero is not lost on this student.

A few more relevant details on Marcus Tullius Cicero: He was decapitated by Marc Antony's soldiers at age 63 for opposing the Second Triumvirate, sorta (that period of Roman history is very complicated). He was a noted orator and loved by the people, but loved his own speeches and voice more. His words fill all classical students with a mix of awe and dread for their complexity and length. The tricks and skills he invented in oratory are still used today. Any Obama speech is littered with the tropes Cicero is credited to have invented nearly 2000 years ago. That FB is claiming that Cicero was at any time a man that cared for the plebs and did not use them for his own gains is laughable. None of the Romans cared truly for the plebs, not even the plebeians themselves, I think. It's pronounced 'Ki-Ker-o', not 'Sis-er-o', by the by.
Improved structure prediction is mainly useful in hypothesis generation when doing hypothesis-driven science (IE, you want to confirm that a specific part of a protein plays a functional role in a disease). Its also a nice way to think creatively about your protein of interest.

THe problem is those distilled soundbites get learned by the next generation and they try to apply it. At least I will give AlphaFold/DM credit for correcting their language - originally they claimed AF solved protein folding, but really, it's just a structure predictor, which is an entirely different area. Unfortunately, people basically taught computer scientists that the Anfinsen Dogma was truth. I fell for this for many years.
