I'm 52 and I've noticed that I'm pulled away from typing and writing documents constantly. A lot more scrolling and answering emails in short sentences or single words. My theory is that, back when I was typing class notes constantly in grad school, or writing papers, or writing long documents, I didn't make mistakes like I often do now. So I believe it is not a sign of aging but instead a sign of a different set of typing requirements throughout the day, at least for me. A test would be to write a book and see if my typing improves. Perhaps I will try that.
Couldn't you just have serial numbers on the cards and check them at the end of the hand? Why an antenna that can be read at a distance through obstructions?
So if people who are marginalized go on Twitter to complain about it, their reports don't count? Perhaps some 'powerful, privileged, unaccountable' people do exploit this cause for their own selfish ends, but it seems to me that your argument is predicated on the idea that marginalized people are incapable of asserting any agency, and if they try to do so they must not really be marginalized. I think you should re-evaluate your premise here.

I'm confused, where is the actual source code? This repo only has some Dockerfiles that, as far as I can tell, are pulling precompiled opaque binaries and have some convenience scripts to set up the required runtime environment.
I envision butt plugs that use undetectable subspace communications
I wonder how large a patch we could mine over 50 years, and if it is a meaningful fraction of the ecosystem? The planet is almost covered with deep sea ecology. Plumes and water contamination could significantly increase the affected area, which I'd hope for these studies to be watching for.

(how much affected by drag net fishing might give a ballpark figure)
At least they can solve LeetCode medium / hards, though.
As joints get stiffer with age, typing will be slower and there's not much to do about that.

Speech recognition?
LLM = Large Language Model. Asking it to show its work will cause it to generate more tokens (you could think of it as the logical leaps between each step being smaller the more detail you go into)
How is it the same tradeoff? I'm not increasing my chances of getting sick by buying insurance. The worst case is that I won't use it, which is fine. The worst case for autopilot is that I'll get into a crash because the camera couldn't see a massive truck in front of me because of glare and shoddy software.
What? GJ1002 is 0.12 solar masses, not 1.4.

1.4 solar masses and yet much dimmer than the Sun

This is not even physically possible unless the star is a post-main sequence white dwarf.
-- according to arstechnica:

"The leak appears to have originated in an external cooling loop located at the aft end of the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft. Public affairs officer Rob Navias, who was commentating on the spacewalk for NASA Television, characterized the spacecraft as leaking "fairly substantially." Video of the leak showed particles streaming continuously from the Soyuz, a rather remarkable sight. This was likely ammonia, which is used as a spacecraft coolant, although Russian officials have not confirmed this."

We should make more bandaids like this, taking over big chunks of the programming world.
I've never had to read a large PDFs (probably, ~400 pages) but what's so great about Evince? Is it just speed or is it because of it's features?
And Musk did this after saying he "trusts" Yoel. Why did Musk backstab Yoel within two weeks after publicly praising him? Probably because Yoel resigned from his position at Twitter in the intermim. Musk really is that fragile and narcissistic.
Well there was an issue with other account posting information about school teachers being groomers and pointing people to their names, pictures, etc.

That account is still online, well and doing it. As others have pointed out, as long as the people that are affected are not Elon Musk, then it seems like for Elon Musk it is mostly fine.
But you are running WebKit in all four on iOS :) Because right now Apple doesn't allow other engines. So whatever it is that consumes batter, it's not blink or gecko.
What do you expect ISP's to do to prevent DDoS? Intercept and monitor their customer's traffic?
Emissions credits don't just shift CO2 production. They make CO2 production more expensive and increase the effective cost of other vehicles, resulting in shifted buying away from CO2 vehicles toward EVs.

And that's indeed what happened. A huge amount of the luxury vehicle market shifted to the Model S. Model S sales went way up and other luxury brands had years of record low sales.

Also in general, people are buying EVs to replace their old cars, so every EV sale is a "not-ICEV" sale. It's going to be rare that someone buys a new EV and a new ICEV at the same time to replace their old ICEV.
Particularly given that elonjet didn't even tweet any location updates that night.
It's not always easier: the requirements are frequently different.

Live processing requires progress updates for the user, and if it takes too long, is often relegated to batch jobs: other than that, it's equally easy or hard to optimize them for identical (absolute) time thresholds.

Batch jobs are similarly prone to races, starvation and other issues: you can't simply do a huge "upsert" without locking the full table, because it might lock other parts of the system, including other batch jobs accessing the same data.
There’s potentially even more layers. Compute express link allows to expand the system with even more RAM slowly through PCIe

And already now you have NUMA where performance is different and depending on which core you are.
It's not feasible but also it's the same danger as with dams? Which is it? In reality, both nuclear power plants and dams have been attacked many times over the past decades. More decentralized power production has other disadvantages but clearly it can't be targeted as easily. The attacker would take out a single wind turbine or someone's roof PV. The effects would be negligible on a national level.

The cost btw is even higher than most people think considering that energy companies aren't paying for most of it but tax payers do. Some not even born yet. But even without factoring in those future costs, as you suggested we do, nuclear power in its current form is among the most expensive forms of power production. Again, look at the data, not energy company propaganda:

Returning half could also have been a way of subliminally saying "Shut up, right now, you got your money and don't mess up my strategy."
So you get something from hating him?

Elon’s contact info was not shared publicly with millions of people. The location of his private jet, which is public information, was republished on Twitter.
Why does she have a clear avenue for a libel suit?
This alone is worthy of its own post!
While crushing freedom of speech is obviously not okay, I find it strange to see this posted here. This post smells a lot like sinophobia. I do not want to assume malice; is there something I am missing, or is this literally just a Chinese individual who threatened someone for putting up fliers?

If the former, I think there needs to be some extra clarification. And if the latter, honestly, I find posts like this far more worrying from a societal standpoint than anything the accused has done.

One person does not represent an entire ethnicity or nationality. I am not aware of any literal epidemic of this sort of behavior happening, either. Strange people exist of all nationalities and ethnicities. As a Palestinian-American, if I posted similar things every time someone tried to silence dissent, it would be a full-time job.

On the other hand, I do see an alarming normalization of singling out China and Chinese people, treating them as if they are some hivemind. I find it very disturbing. There are real-world impacts of this sort of behavior, too.

When I was living in abroad during the initial peak of the pandemic, the irrational fear of all Chinese people led to incidents like the police coming to my house to question me about the whereabouts of my Chinese roommate, despite him having not left the country in multiple years. During that same period, people in the supermarket bullied one of my good Chinese friends out of the building, telling him they were afraid of catching COVID.
Well Neil DeGrasse Tyson went on Fox Business and talked about this like we have achieved net energy gain in a power plant, when in reality NIF uses 100x more energy than they got out of the pellet. He makes it seem as if we have solved fusion, which I think is pretty dangerous, as any viewer who believes what he says could start to believe we don't need to think about renewables anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnsQ_9EIRTk

The following is a partial transcription of what he said:

Neil: Right at this moment I don't think people know for sure what the announcement will be, but if the secretary of energy is giving the press conference, everyone I think is thinking that we finally can get out more energy than we put in, and that is the key..

(Neil describes fission versus fusion, and (weirdly) magnetic confinement fusion, even though NIF is inertial confinement. It really feels like he doesn't know anything about NIF.)

Host: alright so lets say we've overcome some of those challenges and finally created more energy than we put in to the experiment.

Neil: That's it.. you got it. so now it's up to the engineers. Once we get the physics figured out, which it seems like we have, then the engineers say can I make that smaller, can I make that portable, would it fit in to a car? or is it only the size that might power a city? there are places that don't have access to energy... either oil or sunlight for example... so this would be transformative to civilization, and I see it akin to the transition from horses to automobiles, which happened in a matter of a couple of years, because we got the physics figured out for engines, internal combustion engines, when that happened you couldn't give away a horse, yet we were riding horses for thousands of years, building civilization literally and figuratively on its back. so my analogy to that is, we've been digging fossil fuels out of the ground for 150 years...

Host: How long will it take to heal the planet from any harm that we've done to ourselves?

Neil: Yeah here we are harming a planet that was itself trying to sustain us. by doing that you've sewn the seeds of your own extinction. and so the planet will heal, slowly. a lot of the carbon is taken up in to the oceans, so if you start dropping the carbon in the atmosphere, the oceans will equilibrate with that, so it will take time. but now is better than any time later than now, so oh yeah... I'm giddy.

Host: I can't wait for my fusion engine.

Neil: It's a pivot in civilization.
IMO it's not a big deal, and one can edit the jinja2 template to hack in support. Plus, it'll be available to everyone at some point (hopefully).
This is probably not that big of a deal, because it most likely not beneficial to use cloud providers to mine crypto due to the costs especially with current market conditions.

Though I bet they run a lot of Ethereum and Bitcoin nodes, I know AWS powers majority of the Ethereum nodes and 70% of all Ethereum nodes are running on cloud providers.
There will always be insane people in this world. Was Hitler and the nazis radicalized through the internet? Was Timothy McVeigh? Censoring people out of the fear semi casual relationships occurring between them and radicalization doesn’t work.

It’s not like people who apt to deeply believe radical ideas once their source becomes censored they just stop there. Human beings don’t work like that.

I don’t believe libsoftiktok is causing real world harm.
That is not how it works for me. I select a screen, set the scaling, and it just works.
You’re on hacker news.

Either the poster went to MIT and has a grudge because it’s not everything they expected it to be, or they wanted to go to MIT but couldn’t.

It’s a constant punching bag here. For example, there was recently a long thread about them closing public access to some buildings (a relatively minor news story all things considered).
Super clear and useful!

The performance definitely is something we improved a lot, and indeed relational data - I guess you mean roll ups in database- is not something we allow at the moment, thanks for sharing again!
> It is also the domain is limited. I mean a piano only has 88 keys and a few pedals and there are maybe 8 octaves or so in Common Practice.

Yeah but MIDI works for so much more than a piano. People use MIDI to program drum VSTs, guitar VSTs, entire orchestras, guzheng VSTs... basically anything musical.

That being said, it's serviceable but not great for a lot of these things, because originally it was meant just for keyboard-controlled synthesizers. The biggest flaw (IMO) is lack of standardization for individual instruments with more varied playing styles and articulations than the piano. As a basic example, for guitar VSTs, if you want to switch between sustain notes and palm mutes, you generally have to play an out-of-range note (a "keyswitch") to alter the articulation. However this keyswitch is different for Ample Sound, Shreddage, Native Instruments guitar libraries, etc. Similarly if you want to slide between notes, some VSTs just let you overlap the note while others make you use a slide keyswitch. Every VST has its own way of MIDI programming that isn't transferrable.

It's like switching between programming languages, except you're building a single program where it uses multiple languages at once in the same file and you have to remember if the current language syntax you're writing uses `elif`, `else if` or is LISP. (I have reference manuals for most VSTs I own bookmarked for this reason.)

The fact that MIDI continues to be used today is, more than anything, the result of "perfect is the enemy of done" IMO. You could redesign something better than MIDI from the ground up, but since everything already supports MIDI there's little motivation when it already works well enough.
Year-end review editor to help you jump
Thank you for the link, I wasn’t aware that PIA allowed spoofing the identifier.

Maaaybe it’s more ethically/morally questionable [1] but I don’t think it’s a legal issue. Reading more on the PIA, it still require the owner to have their own operational security. Like you said it’s pseudoanonymous and I can’t find any obligations it places on third parties. Nothing stops someone putting a camera on top of their hangar pointed at SMO’s runways and correlate the tail number to ADS-B.

[1] or in this case Musk’s actions on Twitter are less ethically/morally/legally questionable?
Same goes for protesting a talk so loudly that the speaker is drowned out

By this standard the speech of people booing Musk in a stadium the other day was not protected and they could be subject to legal sanction. I doubt this was what you had in mind.
A short article about how to sort an array in Ruby. It's a classic problem in other languages too, so let's explore the Ruby case.
Is this app even working? It crashes every time.
Cloudflare isn't required to take action against the crimes of random strangers. Even if they supposedly benefit from them.
Elon Musk is just preparing for the recession, most stocks will go down in 2023 during the recession so he just wants to liquidate some of it incase he has any business ventures or needs it soon.
For anyone who hasn't been following this, it has been hilarious. It's the dumbest witch hunt of all time. The YouTube videos analyzing the "cheating" are dumb as shit. I didn't think this could get funnier, until I read:

> HSPP has spent more than $100,000 and significant hours of its time to conduct a thorough investigation.

Beautiful. Bravo.
I believe it has chrome and Firefox extensions as well
big change from this a month ago:

Sure. There are fleets of automated license plate readers, there are patents about tracking serial numbers broadcast by tire pressure sensors, etc. States sell their entire drivers license databases as well https://www.vice.com/en/article/43kxzq/dmvs-selling-data-pri...
But what happens when the capsule hits the water?
Very interesting read - but ultimately it is gambling, maybe she just felt lucky?

Invariably that way these things seem to work is if someone wins it’s because of their mad gambling skills, and if they lose it’s because the casino cheated and/or other players poor strategy took “their” cards. Must be maddening for casino employees to have to put up with that day in and out. Imagine how much money was spent in this audit.
If you can't detect it, it sure makes receiving it hard.
it didn't make sense because even most bluffs beat her hand

even if she thought he was bluffing, Q K A high beat her..

why return the money? why let the dealer steal 15k?

100% cheating
I have experienced similar issues before, where a lot of discomfort etc vanish with more physical exercise. For me that would be mostly push ups, pull ups, daily bike commuting etc.

I increased that a lot a few years back when I started bike commuting my 9km route to the office, and haven't had much of such issues since then. (Cycling seems to add quite some static exercise for hands and underarms)
It’s not even a rounding error at the scale of our own galaxy (not joking: the measurement error for the size of the galaxy is something like +/-3kLY). May as well be next door. 15 LY is very close.
Hateful speech (slurs etc) are a form of attack, they're a form of violence. They don't have a place in civil society, civil society should not allow this sort of speech or behavior in it.

I agree with your first argument but not your second. Yes, it's a form of attack. But rather than saying it is simply never allowed (which could be used by politicians to punish criticism) I argue that that the freedom to attack goes both ways and that people should be allowed to exercise self-defense rather than the issue being ceded to some monopolistic higher authority.
Sincere question: if Russians have first made the modern computer (and therefore the de facto language of computing is Russian and Cyrillic), are you okay with only using Cyrillic as the sole script?
Agreed. It's only a useful devils-advocate type position. Something journalists love doing to generate clicks.
Personally i think the unicode code point in identifiers/source code drama is silly.

The attack is someone you don't trust modifies your source code, using unicode to make the modifications more subtle. What type of threat model is that? There's tons of ways for a malicious party to sabotage source code. Most are probably more subtle than unicode hacks. It is like complaining about how the person you gave a key to your house to might rob you.

I do think that in a code editor already doing syntax highlighting, individual tokens should be bidi isolated so you can't have RLO and friends affecting too much, but beyond that i really think this whole issue is way overhyped.
This is ACTUALLY what science is. Discovery.
This is a weak comparison. There are some pretty big qualitative differences between a critical NYT article and LibsOfTikTok. And… frankly if the NYT was routinely publishing content that was getting people harassed and threatened? Yeah we should be asking them to change something in their content too.

Humans can tell the difference between news that sometimes has negative side effects, and singling out people for harassment. If humans can tell that difference, so can rules - society isn’t math, the rules don’t have to be equations.
The nodules themself offer a habitat with its hard crust compared to the soft sea-floor. As it takes millennia for the nodules to form this means the habitat for those organisms is basically lost.
Why?

Because reality.

Since the advent of motor vehicles, I would argue risk has generally scaled with the efficiency and power of vehicles.

At the minimum, for 70 years we have known that danger to both pedestrians and safe drivers is ever present and growing. The reality is not about who SHOULD deal with this problem, but how to most effectively arrive at a functional solution which actually reduces risk for drivers and pedestrians alike.

As well, it's worth noting most accidents occur in areas where you drive most often and you're most familiar. And the increase in traffic accidents and fatalities over the last 10+ years has been due to driver distractions, ie cell phones etc, more than anything by a lot.

Yes there are reckless drivers out there doing stupid shit. However, that's always been the case. Now it's just easier than ever to capture them on camera and for them to go faster than ever for cheap. However, even back in the 70's, crash safety technology was laughably behind anything we have so it goes both ways imo.
Literally everything in this comment is wrong.

pretending this is "required core functionality" is reaaaaally pushing it.
I worked at Magento when we were acquired by Adobe. No one at Adobe knows how all the tech fits together. The guy who championed the acquisition (Brad Rencher) left the company 6 months after that. Then w/ the acquisition of Marketo, it was the same thing all over again. My takeaway is that you coerce an organization to acquire a company you recommend so that you can gain some sort of social capital and then convert it into your next (higher level) gig
The article characterizes the Web Share API as “Poorly supported” but it’s actually not that far behind the others in terms of % global usage:

Page Visibility API 98%
Web Share API 90%
Broadcast Channel API 93%
Internationalization API 98%
LOL, that outburst fits in with your HN username.
I think people can go on playing e.g. the piano on a very high skill level up to quite the age, so I wouldn't say it is that simple or definite.
Regarding the web sharing API, I went down the rabbit hole of trying to share images with it and ended up writing a post about it:

Pretty awesome when combined with converting the DOM to a canvas and then sharing that.
I'd be surprised if some of the VPN providers aren't top-to-bottom three-letter-agency owned and operated.
So free labour? No thank you. Open source devs should think long and hard about how their good will is being taken advantage of. Not just by mega corps reselling their software by saas or ais but also by individuals demanding features and support. It also simply reduced the monetary value of code to zero. Unless it cures cancer there is no need to make it available free of charge.
The jet’s location is public information though. Elon is broadcasting it (by FAA law)
