Satoru Iwata, the president, died relatively suddenly and (at least publicly) very unexpectedly of cancer. This led to a rapid reshuffle of the leadership board and two new presidents in a short period, both of which which did not come from the development side. Kimishima in particular seems to have not done very well.
That username is pretty neat, indeed!
Already the title is wrong and this seems to be rather low quality research. "Predict" would indicate a causation, but they only found a correlation. Plus all of the data was self-reported, so the overall mood of the reporting person will probably affect both factors, thereby creating a spurious correlation.

The exact same data in the paper could also be used to argue that sexually satisfied housewives feel less burdened by the household work. That's why those that do feel burdened are those that also have a low sex desire.

The LLM component is almost correct, but not exactly. The whole point is the transformer architecture, which really is just graph neural networks. Once you start seeing things through these lenses, the possibilities are endless and it starts making sense.
It is that signal, but are we ready to pay everyone more, even for low-skill jobs? How much more is everyone willing to pay for groceries? How much more for health care?

For most people here, that won't matter, because paying 50% more for groceries would barely be noticeable, and neither would 50% more for health care be. But for society at large, that would kill many lifestyles.
This is an interesting take, do you have any recommended readings?
I found this thoroughly unconvincing.

A billionaire tells his critics they should build stuff instead of criticize him, as if their opportunities to do so are equivalent, and as of criticism and building stuff are mutually exclusive? That doesn't hold a drop of water.

We didn't have enough respirators because of critics? My recollection is that we failed to invoke the Defense Production Act and impress companies into building them. This was based on the values of the Trump administration (who saw this as a violation of free market principles) and not an overabundance of criticism; as an executive order, it would have been immune to veto.

The piece goes on to argue the federal government is a vetocracy, and I can agree that Congress is in a state of gridlock like 90% of the time. But that isn't because of critics, that's because of party politics and deficiencies in the structure of Congress. This is a cynical power play to sabotage one's opponents, not criticism run amok.

I can agree that there's "vetocracy" in the sense of gridlock, but when you say "critics rule the roost," I remain unconvinced. Perhaps the answer is to be found in the book you recommend, I have not taken a look at that yet.
I can't tell, because their site won't render without JS enabled, and I'm not willing to enable it for them.
> This argument is completely in conflict with my experience;

I don't think it is - I didn't define what I thought were masculine or feminine characteristics. Your counterexamples from your experience (skirts, for example) aren't necessarily feminine characteristics anyway: kilts, long hair and jewellery (earrings and more) have all long been worn by men.

I also didn't say that "more" masculine characteristics are more attractive; all I'm saying is that prescribing a new norm for men or women does not in any way mean that hetersexual men or women are going to stop finding the base masculine/feminine traits less desirable.
> Yes, and it continues to show that.

That’s a toy example and if you can’t see the bottleneck in a toy example then good luck to you.

If you’re trying to figure out why 5 service calls followed by two more to merge the data together is taking 70ms, it’s not going to be very helpful. If you’re trying to speed up a batch process that makes 400 calls it’s only going to tel you about the cold start and the long tail. Both important problems but not your biggest issue.
That often seems to be stochastic. Like sometimes it can interpret things like "Write a short story in Chinese about a dog and a cat that are friends" (and actually do it) and sometimes it will complain with the "I'm a LLM...". It seems to be based on the session. Once it decides it can't do something it remembers that for the session but reloading the page (which starts a new session) it has the possibility to do it again.

Gnome Network Displays seems to be working fine here. Including virtual monitors. I use it regularly to cast to my TV including videos with sound. The latency could be better though.
I bought four yubikeys back in 2012, two pairs as recommended - one in use, one backup. At the time Yubi had a video up of their keys being run over and otherwise maltreated, and still working.

One of my keys failed spontaneously after a just few weeks in my pocket, on a ring with my other keys.

I decided to stop using yubikeys. A password manager has worked very well for me ever since.
No, it is not. It's webkit. Safari is based on webkit, but the webkit project at large does not decide what does and does not go in Safari.

That's why there are regular "Webkit features in Safari X": that something is added to webkit does not guarantee it'll land in Safari, ever.

Hell, it took 18 months and 2 iOS/macOS releases for the AVIF support to go from landing in Webkit to landing in Safari. And that was something Apple wanted.

Thanks for confirming that cryoto is mainly about tax evasion. By the way, EU VAT is pretty much straight forward. No idea why some people cannot be bothered with the simplest of basic requirements to conduct business in a certain jurisdiction.

>spraying the panels with water every half hour

Sounds like a job for center-pivot irrigation! Just choose a model that can rotate at 2 revolutions per hour.

I never really appreciated how brilliant these are until watching this video:

https://youtu.be/7j1lMs7fcIQ

For large deployments of Earth-mounted PV you'll need a grid of drainage ponds to buffer runoff water, so you might draw from those. A control system would monitor temperature, PV output, and water turbidity.

The latter is important, since there's no sense dumping dirty water on the panels! Give the suspended solids time to settle out, or even add flocculants via a dispenser.
Acting as a stand-up comedian and asking ChatGPT their take on AI:

"Sure, here's my take on AI:

So, I was talking to my assistant the other day, and it occurred to me that AI is getting smarter and smarter. I mean, it used to be that these AI assistants could only answer simple questions like "What's the weather like?" or "How do you spell 'hippopotamus?'". But now, they can even answer complex questions like "What's the meaning of life?"

Of course, when I asked my assistant that question, it replied "I'm sorry, I'm not programmed to answer that." So much for the meaning of life, huh?

But seriously, the rise of AI has been fascinating to watch. It's like we're on the brink of a new era of technology, and it's both exciting and a little scary. I mean, what if the robots take over? Will we all become their slaves? Will we have to serve them lattes and do their laundry? I don't know about you, but I'm not ready for that.

But you know what I am ready for? A world where AI can help us with all the boring tasks in life. Imagine never having to do the dishes again, or mow the lawn. That would be amazing!

Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is this: AI is coming, whether we like it or not. So let's just hope it doesn't rise up against us and enslave us all. Otherwise, we're in for a world of hurt."
You're also conflating unchangeable characteristics (such as skin color, or sexual orientation) and some feeling of group belonging. We would certainly find it a bit weird if someone felt that they "belonged" in a valued group merely due to, e.g. having light-colored skin, and expressed a need to "show off" that specific fact about themselves to others. That's key to the "identity" distinction PG is making here.
Level 5 means full autonomy over all known driving conditions. Including dirt roads, etc.

Otherwise there would need to be a level 6.

> should have provided the ingredients so you don't have to check yourself.

I provided a rationale as to why it matters: the same glues are not available under the same brand name everywhere, and the brand name is irrelevant. If a brand disappears for some reason, it does not mean that this type of glue is gone.
> They are attracted to men, but are not turned on by big muscles and aggression and alpha male posturing or what have you.

Not finding desirable the traits that you think are masculine traits does not mean that they do not find masculine traits desirable. It just means that what you think is the masculine traits, is wrong.

Ask HN: Does a LLVM IR for GUI make sense?
As per the title, I was wondering if it makes sense to create some sort of IR language that targets different interfaces (i.e. native mobile, web, terminal...), maybe via something like Skia (graphics engine).

[Removed chunk because of misunderstanding]

[...] To my info, the first use of 'queer' for "homosexual" is from 1922, and the term was used for "eccentric" for the last five centuries.

('gay' for homosexual was reported as widespread "communitarian" use in medical texts in the 1940's - the use for "promiscuous" is at least four centuries old. In some territories, 'gay girl' still means "prostitute".)

Edit:

I misread your post. Of course, "of course" ""queer" for homosexual" can easily be a "reclaimed slur". There should be no surprise about it.

And your use of 'gay' in «"queer" as gay» is "queer". That is not ""queer" as gay", it is "queer" as "unaligned in sexual orientation", and not necessarily "gay". Just nitpicking on language though.
Tell me you don’t live in a corrupted country without telling me you don’t live in a corrupted country.

You argument is similar to the US argument, not all police is bad.

Technically it’s true, but when the percentage of politicians that are corrupted is high enough, for all practical purposes you can consider them all corrupted when looking for a solution to the problem.
Miracast was cool... while it lasted. It had some issues as a standard though (one of the biggest being no maximum latency). Apple never supported it (AirPlay), and Android only supported it from 4.2-5.0, since being replaced with Google Cast (and as ComputerWorld sarcastically put it, this was "to the immense disappointment of approximately seven people"). Miracast is still functional on Windows and Linux... but how many people use it?

The best effort, though little known, was Microsoft selling a wireless stick for $49 that would connect to your TV and only supported Miracast. However, the latency was never near as good as Microsoft portrayed (watching a movie over Miracast generally isn't fun). They still sell it apparently, but now only for business uses: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/microsoft-wireless-display...
Nolan Bushnell was the founder of Atari.

You're right that board members don't necessarily do anything, but the argument here is whether or not the current Atari has a connection to the old Atari. I would say Bushnell's presence on the board means that it does, even if he doesn't do anything.
You literally described it as an affliction. If you prefer the criticism to be, "don't pathologize someone based on a few sentences," fine, don't pathologize someone based on a few sentences.

If your stated belief is real, then I'd encourage you to reflect on why you were willing to violate this principle, and why, after being challenged on it, you deflected.
Literally anyone can be queer. Its a meaningless tag.
> NOT on my hardware store

Not true - because the regulations of almost every country require to mention the ingredients that compose more than a few percents of the formulation. There is no long list on ingredients on certain glues because they can as simple as 100% ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate.

Job guarantees make more sense to me than UBI; the government only has to pay for those who aren't employed elsewhere while it still sets a floor for the entire economy about how bad a job can be, squeezing out jobs that are worse than the JG jobs.

Ya a more accurate headline might be "wealth inequality found to be major cause of Alzheimer's research failures" or "Alzheimer's research failures reveal defects in western medicine".

If the fundamental problem is misallocation of research dollars, then that's what should be tackled first. I'd vote to do something like a git bisect and isolate the failures first. The scale of the failures suggests that the problems go back to the beginning. So I'd start by halving the funds that go to the big players and distributing the remainder amongst smaller groups and individuals trying a wide array of different approaches.

That said, I'd predict that as theory and simulation improve, especially in areas like big data, machine learning and AI, strong correlations will be found soon (probably within 5 years, certainly 10). They'll probably discover something that the article hints at, that the problem is actually inside cells and that the amyloid protein is a symptom (not a cause). It's probably something like a subtance in food confusing the immune system or a multi-cause effect related to living a lifetime under acute stress far above and beyond what we'd encounter while living in a hunter-gatherer society, or simply that we get no exercise compared to what our bodies evolved for so maybe the cellular repair mechanisms generated by our muscles aren't there to repair the nervous system (no blame here - it's hard for older folks to get enough exercise when they're hurting).

All wild speculation on my part as a computer geek who doesn't know the first thing about medicine, I'm the first to admit!
This is wrong and you should just watch the video before getting on your soapbox. Or at least click on it and see the title which almost certainly tells you why.
If you don't want work to be treated as a commodity, then you need to stop coupling it tightly to how you make your living (the problem being that we're not yet quite technologically ready to do that...).

If work is so "meaning-giving and social", then people will presumably do it even if they don't have to do it to eat, and even if the boss isn't breathing down their necks.

Hah, despite all of the Tesla news I somehow missed that this video was a fake and that the car crashed into a fence while filming.
As an editor of the JPEG XL spec, I fully agree that ISO's paywall policy is bad in many ways.

But I wouldn't say it's a "closed" standard. Not any more closed than, say, the C++ standard or the Unicode standard. What makes a standard open is not the price the publisher puts on the copies, imo, but how transparent and open the process is to design and change the standard, and whether it is possible or not to implement and use the standard for free or not. In that regard, I would consider JPEG XL just as open a standard as C++ or Unicode.

The HEVC spec is publicly available without paywall, but you cannot freely implement and use this standard since it's a patent encumbered, very non-royalty-free codec. I consider it a closed standard for that reason, and the spec being available for free (but not implementable without paying royalties) does not make much of a difference imo.

What's the accessibility story for Unpoly?

I'm always interested in ways of building partial page fetches, dropdown menus etc in a way that is thoroughly tested to work well with common screenreaders.

I'd love to see a frontend framework that includes detailed documentation (and ideally video demos) demonstrating how effective their ARIA screenreader stuff is.
The US has one of the most extensive rail networks in the world. What we do differently than Europe is use the rail network almost exclusively for freight. If we followed Europe's lead and did a lot more freight via long haul truck, we could free up a bunch of infrastructure for passengers, but would the end result be a net win? Or would we actually increase emissions by doing that?
Sadly there is no evidence for any of what your are saying. I would think all super powerful people in history have contributed to someone's define without their own becoming inevitable.

I don't think there's a strong relationship to this, and the Soviet alcoholism came from something else -- maybe losing many family members or having been shipped far away from everyone you know by a totalitarian government.

Or, the soviets never had a prohibition to change up what people drink
