Not true, there is special things about them, like always returning their argument.
I’m sorry, my satire detector was broken. Recalibrated it with and the economy was booming.
I think that NFC ends up cheaper than Bluetooth. For one thing, you don't need a battery. (And you shouldn't need a battery on your current design either, since you are changing the screen while connected to a dock which can have power)
I'm bearish on the spec. I think it's practically done since draft-4 or draft-7. Almost nobody is going to use something like dynamic scope recursion, and bundle (compound document), unless libs force them to.
But, conversely, the simple cases that you describe can be handled quite nicely without losing static typing. You just need union types, and some simple type inference. So then why bother with dynamic at all?
Someone should do an empirical study, but I'm almost certain this is deliberate. Paul Graham is quite the defender of Elon Musk.

If anyone's wondering, this model is not the GPT-3-killer. The model will be mostly only useful for classification, and not general text generation. It's not an apple to apples comparison, since the other models were not fine-tuned on the same dataset.

Interesting that they didn't compare the model to Flan-T5 or TK-Instruct, both of which were fine-tuned on similar data and should display comparable results using the same amount of parameters. See the leaderboard here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/ought/raft-leaderboard

Nonetheless, props for open sourcing the model and attempting to develop new techniques for decentralized training of large scale transformers, this is no easy feat.
What you're describing is a fantasy. There simply is not enough natural grassland out there for the entire human race to grow enough meat to eat this way. That's why the Amazon is being chopped down to make more land for grazing.

Lab grown meat is a step in a direction that allows us to not use so much land for livestock.
I have definitely learned a lot too but it’s rarely from the knee-jerk first responses on tech posts.
I swing by the local Goodwill clearance outlet occasionally looking for vintage electronics. The other day I grabbed a Commodore 1541 floppy drive from a bin. At the checkout, the young employee balked and said “sorry, that shouldn’t have made it out there, it’s against our policy to sell call computer drives because they might have personal info on them”. I asked him to please double check with the oldest, greyest employee in the store. I walked away with it for 3 bucks.
The EUAs for BioNTech/Pfizer and for Moderna were approved on December 10th and 17th 2020, respectively. By the beginning of April 2021, the US had fully vaccinated well over a hundred million people. Obviously the CDC had tons of data at this point. This discussion is pointless if you don't even bother to check such simple facts.
I don’t think this is carbon capture in the sense that most people mean: you still had to expend a lot of energy to fell the tree and process it into cardboard. Putting it somewhere where it won’t decompose will probably only prevent a tiny percentage of the carbon required to produce it. Thus the goal of cutting down fewer trees, and thus reusing and recycling.

Given how their software offerings and datacenter network have expanded over the years, I think the price increase is fair.
Yet another way apple protects our privacy - making their products impossible to repair!
Amazon is complicit. When I've left I review about cards offering money for reviews packaged with an item I've ordered, Amazon has deleted my review.

When I've followed up, they told me it's actually against the rules to call sellers out for this behavior - your reviews can't mention "promotional materials", even if they came IN THE BOX of what you purchase.
I work on Wasi at Fastly, as part of the Bytecode Alliance.

WASI development has indeed been quite slow. Most of our efforts for the past 2 years have been developing and implementing the Component Model proposal. Right now we are working on porting WASI to the component model, which has been pushing all of the new wit tooling more than it has WASI itself.

I can’t really say that adding more people would have sped up the last few years. The vision of the component model is very ambitious - it’s the first credible open (as in, not owned by Oracle or MS) standard for a real cross language VM, and the security posture supports mutually distrustful components by default. If we had just iterated on the witx version of wasi without coming up with the component model first, I believe both the component model and wasi would be worse off for it.

A lot of the foundational spec work and tooling is now (hopefully!) pretty stable. We used to rewrite everything related to the component model (fka interface types or module linking) every 6-9 months because the spec changed really radically, now I genuinely believe you’ll be able to take todays wit-bindgen to production in 6-9 months of polishing. We are approaching the point where we can get those tools in the hands of way more contributors and the ecosystem can grow.

So yes, the contributors to it today are small, but they are growing (I’ve spent a big chunk of the last few weeks bringing on more contributors from other bca companies) and soon will be able to grow even more.
This is sensationalism. There are people letting themselves rot on the streets, it's more than an inconvenience to the society, it's a danger to themselves. They're not going to voluntarily do anything in many cases.

The trope about "the Mayor is a former cop" makes for good political talking points but it's meaningless otherwise. In what way has NYC become any different since Adams took the helm?
Right, I would think that bribing politicians only gets you favors if both a) the favors have sufficient political cover, and b) there is the prospect of further bribes. Neither of those seem true here.

For a), SBF has become a dirty name and politicians don't have cover to do anything blatantly favorable to him.

For b), any money he might have touched is under intense scrutiny, especially if it makes its way to a politician. Ironically, his best hope might be if he had untraceably moved money into cryptocurrency, especially stablecoins.
From small experiments recycling paper, I'd guess that any kind of plastic or metal is trivial to separate, and any kind of paper gets mixed into the new cardboard. That probably degrades the recycled material, but very likely not enough to be the bottleneck.
My outsider's interpretation is that a lot of the details are being held up while the Component Model spec is finalised, so even if lots of ideas are being bounced around and people are experimenting, we won't see a "Snapshot 2" or many new modules (etc.) until that settles.

After that is done, I'd expect to see a lot of focus shift to fleshing out various WASI APIs, which can then also IINM start to be released individually at their own pace.
You can get a pet to start, a fish-tank is super-low maintenance and quite nice and distracting when you need it to be.

tbf, singlepage.cc can't claim to be anonymous if it requires credit card payments and runs over regular web (as opposed to .onion). I believe, the only way to take anonymous non-cash payments is via Monero.

Besides, telegram has a massive userbase, which makes them a lucrative target for law enforcement.
Also read that book when it came out, among other things it taught me about "mushroom management" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_management
Even that wouldn't work, because then how do you get from Central Parking Lot to the building in Manhattan that you want to go to? To many NYC car-friendly, you need to demolish most of the buildings so you can put huge parking lots around the ones that remain. Then the roads won't be wide enough, so you'll need to demolish more buildings to make wider roads. Pretty soon, there won't be anything there besides roads, parking lots, and a handful of buildings, and no one will want to go there, they'll want to go someplace else that has more buildings and things to do, and then the traffic in that place will be too much and people will complain.

I haven't read all the comments here yet, but I reckon this would be cool to use as a dungeon exploration game. Each card is a room and you can lay them out as you explore new rooms. When certain events are triggered you put the card back on the machine to be shuffled then placed back where it was. Get in, get as much loot as you can and get out without dying.

If you generate a single initialization symbol that guards against multiple runs in the init section, this works just fine with dlopen.

This isn't even hard, but you need to be able to form a full dag of imports.

The only problem is that the linker slams together the .init, .ctors, or .init_array sections in some arbitrary order (usually the order that .o files are passed in on the command line, but there are no guarantees). If you topologically sorted the object and library list by import order, things would work out. But because the linker doesn't cooperate, a language that wants to avoid the initialization order fiasco needs to provide its own ordering. Or its own linker.

As far as Zig goes -- I have no clue what it does. Never touched it.

Also, as a side note -- initializers were initially designed so that there would be exactly one init function per binary or library, and then people wanted to split the initialization up, so the way the init section ends up getting constructed on most unixes is fascinatingly hacky: The linker links `crti.o`, your .o files, `crtn.o`. crti.o contains a function prologue; the init sections in your .o files contain a sequence of call functions, and crtn.o contains a function epilogue. Stitch them all together in order, and you get a single function that you can call.

This is deprecated, and now there's a table of function pointers (.init_array).
Epic primarily uses the InterSystems Caché database, which is essentially a modernized edition of MUMPS. It is about as "legacy" as any piece of software can be with parts of the code dating back to 1966, but still works well and for certain applications it's still superior to more modern databases.

BigQuery is not an appropriate database for an EHR.

Epic used to be notorious for lack of interoperability. They now have an extensive set of open APIs and are active participants in industry standards development organizations.

A big reason why this kind of stuff doesn't quickly become unreadable in C# is that the output of a source generator must be a new file. So the ability to extend existing code is limited to the facilities that the language specifically provides for this purpose (partial classes & members, extension methods etc). It also means that tooling can treat all such generated code as virtual files, allowing them to be inspected, debugged etc.
I would suggest adding that as a HTML style for each 88x31, rather than making every image on a webpage pixelated.

Most definitely 1000^5. = 10^15 ~= 2^50

As long as the system to delete isn't fast, or has a max-tries-delay mechanism, it should be fine.
> If an artist digitally releases a music album for free - it's worthless?

That is my intended meaning, though it doesn't need to be released for free, only digitally.
If the album is a series of mp3 files in a zip archive why would one pay for it when they could just get a perfect copy from their friend (who got it from a friend, who got it from a friend, who got it ...)?

I do know the answer to this question: kindness (Patreon and similar).
I don't know market forces to be particularly kind, however.
I guess there's some category bleed going on here. I was originally maintaining a list of "micro-blog"-y sites I wanted to try out. Somewhere along the way it got mixed in with these "easy quick single static page" of services or "basically a txt file" site (e.g. rentry.org)

At this point I feel the need to bring up Etherpad which is essentially an encrypted Google Docs alternative but can be used similarly. Ofc there's also Notion which is in a similar vein.

You know, the more I think about this problem the more saddened I am by the state of social media. You can't share a FB or Instagram post without forcing people to sign in or make an account. Twitter is one of the last ones that allow their content to be freely shared but the char limit is a pretty significant limit and even that has popups

It seems that the problem of "how do I make a quick and simple static site to share with anyone with internet access" isn't really a hard problem. Instead all these major social networking services have worked their ass off to make sure their platforms can't be used in that way
Yep that’s exactly the plan (I work on wasi and the component model and etc)

Harder for mobile repair since they often need access to test things. I'd suggest just factory resetting things before bringing them in. Apple pretty commonly just hands you a new device and sends your old one to be repaired in a cheaper country.
Note that IrDA was removed from mainline linux kernel in 2017/2018:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/8/27/126

So while using physical layer directly from microcontrollers is OK, most of the information at that link is now obsolete.

That said, while IrDA was fun when it worked, it was pretty finicky, and I am not really missing it. I am having a hard time thinking of a good application for full IrDA stack: optical communications are handy sometimes (for example, for device provisioning), but OBEX? IrCOMM? I am happy to never hear those words again.

One of the deadliest conflicts in history was started essentially by a (likely schizophrenic) individual who believed he was the brother of Jesus over 150 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion). Getting worse than say, 2010 or something? Perhaps.

What I like about Lina and Alyssa is the increase of visibility of LGBT+ people in the more "hardware" part of software development.

As your get more low level, less visual and more niche, there's less and less diversity of software developers. And everyone should feel welcomed into hacking the kernel.
The obvious (to me) question is: what happens when something goes viral? I love the dollar-per-page idea.
An iphone can be bought and emails can be registered without doxing yourself, so this info isn't strongly tied to your identity the same way a phone number is.

That's a lot of effort. If they really want to, they'd probably just dick around with Twitter's app more, that's easier and will hurt quicker.
For hard specifics, here people already said about memory protection.

I could add, I've seen x86 server from IBM, but with IBM chipset, it was capable for more cpus than any other competitor of it's time, and for some clients this was killer feature.
It is simple:
- keep writing down ideas
- Do not stop. If you stop for 10 seconds, the app will quit without saving your ideas.
- After you keep writing for 2 mins, you can export the ideas to a file.
Why would it after all? It’s all mimicry without understanding of any context. It’s going to become more and more real and more convincing but beyond that there is still nothing intelligent, just fascinating stochastic immitation.
The fediverse is nice because it limits censorship.
I didn't think naming things was that hard, until I got a chance to try building a project without having to name things. I'll never go back.
Keep globals in globals, locals in locals.
Long term I expect that advanced persistent security threats will force almost all small and medium enterprises to migrate to cloud platforms whether they want to or not. It takes quite a high level of scale and technical competence to maintain a secure infrastructure against ransomware.
Homeless people’s problem isn’t that they can’t afford a home, it’s that they are too addicted to drugs and unhireable to ever really afford one.

This has nothing to with mortgage subsidies and it’s disingenuous to use that as an argument against them.
Phase I was to throw them in the asylums (up until the 70's-80's)

Phase II was to let them out of asylums, and then sending them to prison after they committed crimes (the 90's, 2000's)

Phase III was to let them out of prison, because we are over-incarcerating, studies show that recidivism is worse when people are imprisoned [1]

Phase IV - send them back to the asylum

We're currently flirting with phase IV.

> if you could sit him down with someone who would patiently listen to his claims, provide (counter) evidence, and point out when a claim is too vague or falsifiable to even check?

Clearly you haven't ever argued with someone about their beliefs. Let me give you a quick run-down:

- You can never provide counter evidence to every claim. Most of them are too vague or detached from reality to be refuted clearly. You predicted this, and you were right to.

- A claim - in the believer's mind - is never too vague. They are just failing to articulate it to you in the moment.

- Not being able to falsify a claim is exactly the point. You and I call that circular reasoning, but they call it faith. Yes, they see the logical fallacy. There is no way to prove for certain one way or the other; so it always comes down to emotion.

--

I've been on both sides of this dynamic.

When I was religious (Mormon), I was convinced that - if my religion were false - it would be just as convenient and straightforward to criticize and deconstruct it as you described. And in many ways, it is!

But somehow I, and most of the people I knew, was insulated both from the critical information that might have made me rethink my convictions, and from the very pattern of critical thinking itself. I understood the fallacy of circular reasoning. I was convinced that this was an exception.

--

The human mind has a lot of room for faith. Faith in ourselves. Faith in our hopes, our dreams, and our delusions. It's no wonder that we are able to stubbornly believe falsehoods; yet that very ability has us faithfully believing we are the exception - uniquely immune to all the pitfalls of faith.

We can all see the pattern. We can all deconstruct it. We never have to.
Will checkout thanks.
Ditch the lawyer act. You understood my plain language just fine.
Good point. I can rattle off criticisms of an idea instantly if it happens to touch my little corner of the industry I've been working in for over eight years. It's rare at this point that I ever encounter a novel idea that I haven't already given thought to.

You could actually have a characters 'hitpoints' accurately reflected instead of having to keep track of, ala Hearthstone.
Indeed, and this is what I would like to hide as it's a distraction for me. I think it would be smarter to put a link in the header instead of messing up the comments.

Have you ever been in a room with someone trying to change the subject you are deep
in thought about? Two things happen: A) you don't notice, and B) they might start trying to find new tactics if they are still willing to engage at all.

I speak from a good deal of experience with this. Active listening was a good crutch for me in a lot of ways, but it works very poorly with people more and more often these days (especially online) and by the time you reach texting and forum posting, you basically just have to read walls of text before you can respond.

I hate to say it but sometimes I just need to interrupt you! Same goes the other way. Please, PLEASE, chime in with some reverb or retaliation. (Hell, maybe one day I'll earn a slap on the back ;)

Then you have the next problem. It spirals... like a positive feedback loop. You find yourself in a thrilling conversation/argument with someone only to have completely alienated the rest of the room. Now what? Is anyone else even paying attention? Would they have liked to, but you both just flew past them and dove straight into your threads?

I think this stuff is insanely hard in the real world sometimes, and only harder online. I like HN partially just because I feel like a lot of people here kinda get that.

P.S. I'm also the kind of person who types really long emails, then spends a while trying to edit them down. Sometimes I just don't have the energy. Sorry for the hypocrisy.
Actual, human based decisions will almost always win out.
