> It's not a judge's job to stop legislation turning into a dead letter if it's incompetently drafted, which this is.

That really comes down to whether the judges given the decision want to save it or sink it. Even if the legislation is poorly drafted, if they want to save it, they’ll find a way to read it which saves Parliament’s intentions. If they want to sink it, they can exploit its poor drafting to render it toothless.

I have no idea which path British judges will choose to go down. Unless you can claim some special insight into their thinking, I doubt you really do either.
By running a power cord out to their car.

But if we really do end up going 100% electric, I can see cities setting up on–street charging as a service to their residents. We’ll start seeing parking meters that have EV–charging cables for plugging in your car.
Just today I was lamenting the lack of Document Provider APIs on Cryptomator Android, I'd like to use it to encrypt my Obsidian vault. Alas the issue is locked and the milestone keeps shifting.

Cryptomator has been good to me otherwise!
I was gonna say, there must be a million more of these.
Usually I get annoyed by that, but in this case I read the whole thing and didn't even notice. It helps that they didn't come in "packages" bigger than 1.
it was a great loss to a lot of things. people's personal mental heath, family time, ability to move to areas with affordable housing, a dissemination of people & money to states that need diversity, overall its a big loss

Anyone who has kids and have insisted on a healthy diet knows this is false. Kids won’t eat for a while but then, like everyone else, they will eat most anything when hunger is strong enough.

> The current suggestions include a full MIT course, a pair of 2 hour long lectures, "the book from the class we all took in college," and the Wikipedia page for transistors,

You have taken my other set of answer out of context: In case you missed the text, I mentioned first couple of lectures of 6.004 (probably 2nd & 3rd ~40 min even if you listen the whole thing). Carver Mead's long lecture is a deepdive into understanding from physics - completely optional & it is pretty obvious from YT page description. You acknowledged the other one was really short & something you appreciate. Milman & Halkias suggestion was for Chapter 1 (~15 pages) only. The "grandpa introduction to someone who starts at 0" seems also been quoted out of context for Wikipedia.

Misquoting someone isn't nice & probably not in good faith. I can't say for everyone, but a sizeable crowd here would consider that wasting other person's time rather than seek answers.
Image generative models have made significant progress over the last few years, but an often-overlooked confounding variable is that during this period, the predominant benchmarking task used by researchers (specifically those working on large-scale image synthesis) switched from unconditional image synthesis to text-to-image synthesis. Text-to-image synthesis is a fundamentally easier task as the text-conditioned distribution is much more predictable than the unconditional counterpart. Additionally, text-to-image plays to the strengths of diffusion models, which benefit from having a conditioning signal to guide the sampling process (via classifier(-free) guidance). As someone who is observing this progress from an adjacent field, it has been hard to tease out how much of this seemingly abrupt progress can be attributed to the fact that the preferred benchmarks and datasets have been shifting behind the scenes. I suspect that if these variables were well controlled, progress over the last few years would look more like the steady, incremental improvements that occurred in the field in the years prior.
It's a given which is why every layoff statement includes it. It would seem socially incompetent for the CEO to not take the blame
Perhaps, but previous attempts by researchers to generate clinical insights by merging clinical records from multiple provider organizations and then doing retrospective outcomes analysis have produced disappointing results. Data quality is generally bad, leading to a fundamental garbage in / garbage out problem. There is little consistency between documentation practices across providers, and many findings aren't recorded at all. So in order to get a useful data set, researchers have to do a huge amount of manual data cleansing. Current AI/ML algorithms are incapable of automating much of this work.
Compulsion comes into it if you start forcing Oxford to give platforms to speakers that go against the stated values of Oxford.
Fair, but from the perspective of a prosecutor, it makes sense to let him dig his hole deeper. Every time he lies to the public he further establishes mens rhea.

But of course it would take much longer than a month to extradite him anyhow, so the most likely explanation is that they haven't had time to decide if they have enough evidence to extradite him, let alone to do it.

I can second the annoyance with the CDC throughout most of the pandemic. I had to read WHO publications and individual studies to get an inkling of what might be going on with covid risk where it mattered; to me and the people I care about (since I could personally do nothing about the rest of the public). I am not a virologist or public health expert, but I can see when a study has reasonable error bars and sample sizes for the inferences they are making from it. I'll also take an average educated guess of many virologists over a single small study, but there was nothing close to consensus on covid among experts for several months. During that time it was clear that isolation was the only provable way to combat covid and contact-tracing was virtually the only conceivable way to isolate without shutting down literally everything. So what did CDC do? No contact tracing, but 6-foot distancing, extreme hand washing, etc.

I disagree slightly with your statement about the reasoning that hydroxychloroquine being effective was correct. The correct conclusion to draw from an authority with no-better-than-chance at being correct changing their recommendation is exactly the same no-better-than-chance at being correct. It wasn't quite that bad; hand washing is a general good practice and had a chance at being helpful given no other information. The health agencies issued recommendations with no error bars and wrote themselves into a corner where they couldn't update to more reliable information without continually contradicting themselves, so as a result I still see signs left in stores asking people to 6-foot distance (even though masks are optional).

I also realize the underlying problem is that people are terrible at reasoning under uncertainty and also very unfamiliar with trying to do so, and so won't take announcements with error bars in a very useful way. Presented with uncertainty most people default to their status quo as if having less than perfect information is the same as no information. So the CDC's battle was to try to influence public behavior in ways that were ultimately beneficial, while probably knowing they had a limited number of tries before people noticed the uncertainty and reverted to status quo. A very unenviable position.

Twitter censoring misinformation may have delayed the build-up to useless uncertainty, or it may have come too late to help much. I don't have evidence either way. One part of the status quo is buying quack medicine, so there was never any hope for preventing some of the population from doing that regardless of messaging or censorship.
Hey Dang, about 2 weeks ago I mailed hn@ycombinator.com and requested a removal of 2 comments I made years ago. The same day, someone replied, removed the username from the comments and asked me if I'm ok with that. I made the argument that the comments uniquely identify me and I would feel better if at least one of them was removed. The comments did not get any meaningful replies, no thread developed, there is nothing interesting to the community about them.

After my reply, I stopped getting any response from HN. I wrote 2 more mails, but to no avail. This was about 2 weeks ago.

How to proceed?
Tacomas switched to the 3.5L 2GR-FKS with port + direct injection (& Atkinson cycle), years ago.

4Runners still have the old 4.0L 1GR-FE, port-injected. (and a 5-speed automatic! you're right about low-change mentality)

Fuel economy is roughly similar (>= 11.0 L / 100 Km), as far as I know, as is power.
It works well on phones for things like setting calendar events, timers, reminders, playing music.
Ahh, I just reread _Soul_! One thing I noticed this time through was the politics and (mostly absent?) leadership from the executives. E.g., the input from the CEO was basically "no mode bit".

I couldn't appreciate those things on the first pass as a young engineer.

To quote "Novell CEO Eric Schmidt" (heh) from the linked Wired article[0],

> [...] and it did a good job of getting into the psychology of leadership. The corporate maneuvering was both fascinating and abhorrent to me.

The joy of rereading a good book, it hasn't changed but I have.

> the way it's made, via object properties, enforces compliance to the design system.

The link literally has this:

```
export const className = style({
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
selectors: {
'&:nth-child(2n)': {
background: 'aliceblue'
}
},
'@media': {
'screen and (min-width: 768px)': {
flexDirection: 'row'
}
}
});
```

Which is indistinguishable from any other CSS-in-JS which has hundreds of these one-off things scattered everywhere. With a theme somewhere exposing another hundred or so variables of varing quality. And all these solutions basically converge on Tailwind (or other utility-first CSS approaches):

```
export const hero = style({
backgroundColor: vars.color.brandd,
color: vars.color.white,
padding: vars.space.large
});
```

is nothing more than `bg-brand color-white p-4`

But TypeScript support is definitely nice.
> Elon has been clear from the get go that he's pro free speech

Not really. He's mouthed the words, of course, but it appears that his definition of "free speech" is "whatever Musk wants it to be".

> he is not going to go beyond what is permissible by law in moderating the platform

Not what he said. What he said is that he'll allow allow all speech that isn't illegal. He could decide to censor all speech from everyone on Twitter right now, and that wouldn't go beyond what is permissible by law.

> The advertiser in question should therefore adjust their advertising campaigns accordingly.

Why? Advertisers don't have freedom of speech? They should be forced to engage in speech and do business with a company when they find it distasteful or potentially harmful to their business?

Charging infra is a common objection to electric cars…

But what about gas cars? It would have be ridiculous and absurd to argue that the correct response back in 1900 should have been
“No one should buy a Car prior to a nationwide network of gas stations and interstate highways being built! Dirt, gravel and cobble roads are in acceptable. How will cars work without 8 lane paved freeways!!”
When an individual has registered a car and is enjoying the right to operate a 6000 lbs death machine on public roads, why do they need their name hidden? What value in the society of granting them that privilege when they are enjoying legal protections and privileges not enjoyed by all members of society?

The real question you have to answer is “Why is it necessary for company ownership to be public information?”

> A service address isn't sufficient to, for example, easily piece together that one private owner has quietly purchased 70% of some town's resources, especially if they've done so via a collection of shells

What’s wrong here? Even with a perfect UBO registry that private owner could just get together with a couple of their buddies and divvy up that 70%.

What legal action are you going to take? Owning 70% of a town’s resources is generally not against the law.
>Most tech stories are submitted from different sources. Each time there is a big new, there are like 10 or 20 newspapers/blogs/tech-sites that write a coverage.

Yes. and most of those news sources are pretty indistinguishable from each other too. Simply re-hashing the same press releases as everyone else with the obligatory quoting of tweets --which is what passes for investigative journalism these days. I'll grant you that may account for some of the dupliction. But I see the same stories from the same sources submitted time after time, too.

I just find it really irritating. It's little different from spam, in my opinion and I wish people would have the courtesy towards other HN users to spend a few seconds checking if a story has already been submitted before mashing the Submit button themselves. In some cases people are still re-submitting major tech stories days after they happened.

A classic example was Musk's take over of Twitter. I remember there were 30+ submissions of that story alone, when I counted part way through the day it hppened and people were still submitting it a couple of days later. That's just downright spamming, in my book. Who the hell can frequent HN and think that, 3 days after the event, no-one will yet have shared with the rest of us the biggest tech news story of the year?

As I always say, when getting on my soapbox about this: Just try spending a few days using HN, with the 'Newest' section as your landing page and you'll soon see how much of a problem this is:

Not to denigrate your work, it's good what you're working on... but I can create JS APIs in Rust with native V8 bindings, too: https://github.com/denoland/rusty_v8/blob/main/examples/proc...

After working on a couple codebases that used wasmtime and wasmer heavily, I think if I were to start from scratch I'd just use V8 as my WASM runtime.

(And the model I would follow would be to containerize the V8 runtime piece inside its own cgroup, with resource budgets and permission constraints. cgroups accounting beats the limited and inefficient accounting one gets from the various WASM runtime opcode based accounting systems.)
It was partially rescued by fastloaders and later JiffyDOS. Fastloaders tended to max out at 10-13x if the disk format was unchanged but if you could reformat or recode the files you could go anywhere from 25x speed to over 40x (transwarp) on stock hardware. DolphinDOS gave a 25x speed up by using the parallel port with 1541.

Epyx games used the Vorpal format which gave 15x load speedup.

The point is, the speed issues weren’t really the 1541’s fault although GCR coding could have benefited from a HW decoder.

Technically it's a rendition of white noise (“Ceci n’est pas une pipe,”). White noise is random, whilst a recording is predictable.

There is also a reasonable chance the rendition is a simulation based on a pseudorandom generator.

If they're that big can you provision their "own" copy of your infrastructure or at least the database?

And then foist handling database changes off on them.
ICC has an option that is documented as:

auto-p32
Instructs the compiler to analyze the program to
determine if there are 64-bit pointers that can be
safely shrunk to 32-bit pointers.

I don't know how good it is in practice, having never tried it. GCC has -mx32, but that changes ABI completely, you have to recompile everything, and you need a new kernel with another system call table (which your favorite kernel might have disabled).
Thanks for the link. I think you should seriously contemplate this. If my kids did this to me, I'd ban them from my house, at a minimum.

More abstractly, suppose your thinking is correct, and now they're "de-programmed". If you were right, you could now tell your parents what you did, and they'd thank you. Does that sound like how it would play out?
> it's not that tricky

Are you serious? I live at 39.75 latitude in the USA with strong winters with snow and ice. There’s no way you’re growing vegetables in winter here without a greenhouse. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Do you live in California?

This is true of the Midwest, and anything in the Northeast north of say, Wilmington Delaware or even Baltimore depending on the year.
> Have there already been cases of websites making their visitors unwitting peers, similar to e.g. JavaScript cryptocurrency mining?

I haven't seen it yet in websites, but I have seen video streaming apps using torrents on the backend without informing users about it. It's caused people who thought they were legally (or at least 'safely') streaming shows and movies for free using something they found in the app store to be surprised when they got hit with DMCA notices from their ISP.
> the grid is sized to allow peak load heat shed during the cooler night hours

IIRC, the big concern with cooling off time was not simply due to high loads, but rather high loads combined with high ambient temperatures at night. I.e. it wasn't so much of a concern in places that dropped below 80F overnight.

This has already been solved. Modern devices come with low power general purpose cores and OSs can wake up briefly to check for new messages. I just can’t see why you would ever want to remote manage your own laptop where some software installed on the OS isn’t sufficient.
...Because it was deemed likely based on all previous knowledge about vaccines and transmission, and that turned out to be correct.

I don't know what your objection is here. "Pfizer couldn't see the future"? "They should have just let people die while they conducted further tests of something they had every reason to believe would work (and, again, did work)"?
I really disagree with this. I use static types as a quick correctness check.
I've added types to large python projects to reduce the complexity of reasoning about the code base, and the typing does not make it run faster (actually, the opposite).
This isn't even really a "terrible internet provider" problem - this stuff is getting way way more common across all of America.
Correct, but I prefer to understand the actual downtime experienced by people over the years (eg data centre issues, network issues, unplanned server maintenance) as that data seems hard to find centrally.
Both, though the latter is a bit mixed up with more wishful thinking like "why didn't I invest everything in Apple in [early year]". Life's too full of those to really regret individual ones too much though.

I figured I'd be ok liquidating ~$300k max for a cash purchase and skipping the mortgage, though if needed it's possible to get a delayed financing loan after, and at least a HELOC. But spiking prices everywhere made that more difficult or impossible in certain areas. And even if something is 'affordable' at say $265k, I find it hard to stomach the idea of paying that much when I think it is (and 2019/2020 records show was) worth only about half that. (In 2014 I actually had legal control of a house but opted to get rid of it, it had been refinanced and it took months to find a buyer at $170k to zero that out. Earlier this year zillow estimated it could fetch $420k, which is absurd to me knowing all about it, but seeing actual sales in the area I believe it.)

At the shop cash tills I noticed recently a sign that said "if you're purchasing alcohol and are fortunate enough to look under 25 we will need to age check you" (or some very similar words).

Same goes for anyone buying solvents and glues, or knives and blades, vapes, etc.

The aim is good - the challenge is the implementation.

Only feasible way seems to be prove you're older than the minimum (which feels like persecuting those that are old enough) rather than prove you're too young!
Boxcryptor was originally just a wrapper around Encfs and a Dropbox API client and probably hasn't significantly changed how they worked since they made it a fancy service. I assume that they rebuilt something like Encfs, but closed source.
This sounds similar to a close relative of mine who, over the course of a few months, became more and more manic (as in, actual, diagnosed manic-depressive disorder). Eventually it was blindingly obvious to everyone who knew him that he was not at all in his right mind. Lost his job, wife, house, and came close to being homeless.

As you mention, in hindsight there were definitely signs, just not nearly as obvious.
Not sure why you think that. I actually do eat burgers, on the rare occasion I eat a burger at all, with no sauce, which I think is fine if the burger itself is not overcooked and made with sufficiently good meat. The patty should be plenty juicy.

I'm also not a fan of mayo or ketchup because I think they're disgusting, but go look at the nutrition information: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91q08lhAYAL... https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5a/56/4a/5a564a60d38dc88d97e3...

A 1 tbsp serving of both will set you back 4g of sugar. Sure, they each have "high fructose corn syrup" on the ingredient list, but it's a small enough amount to have no nutritional impact. In reality, the bulk of the sugar in the ketchup is coming from the tomatoes and the mayo doesn't have enough to even warrant listing measurable calorie content from sugar at all.
Respectfully, it is my opinion that arresting anyone who says something, in real life, on a blog or whispering to themselves, that is not a direct threat or inciting physical violence is wrong.
