Not just nice, but required. From the licence: “The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.”

Many projects, commercial and other OSS ones, get conformance with MIT and similar licences wrong in this way.

[1] Caveat: Going by the Twitter thread. I've not verified this. Maybe they have it somewhere hidden away, so are compliant but minimally so².

[2] Which would be a dick move³, but compliant.

[3] Which I wouldn't put past them as they are using Ghost's CDN to include some of the stuff instead of covering the hosting for that themselves, which is hard to think is accidental. If this is accidental then I'd never trust them from either a code quality PoV or an infrastructure security PoV.
True. But given a team of average ability, good process (ie, good habits and conventions) can definitely mean the difference between success and failure.
Yes, but it's not as useful as it is to a modern person, because if you're the only person who owns a clock then your life will have very few situations where knowing the time exactly and reliably matters -- so you only own one if you have some specific use-case where you care about exact time. The benefit of owning a precise and accurate clock becomes much greater if you are frequently interacting with other people who also have precise and accurate clocks (such as operators of railways), and at the point where most people in a society have an accurate clock then it becomes a default assumption that scheduling can be done by time and you will find it increasingly difficult to be without one. (I think the smartphone is currently going through a similar transition -- right now it is definitely still possible to live without a smartphone, but an increasing number of organizations are now starting to act on the assumption that every person they deal with does have one.)
Google searches for "high altitude dinosaur" mostly find complaints that scientists assume they exist but mountains are peak erosion sites so there are no fossils or other evidence.

Theoretically geologists could predict high altitude plains or areas of generally high ground, probably, and it would be interesting to see reported fossils in those known lower PP-O2 areas. Fossilized vegetation evidence in the area of dino fossils could indicate higher altitude for both.

Sure, intuitively most dinos would thrive in hot swampy jungles. But there's so much delicious higher altitude land covered in pine trees waiting to be eaten... The cold argument is serious, but plenty of animals migrate, so given great forest of edible food, something should have evolved to eat its way uphill in the summer ...
The fact the government issues the alerts doesn't mean the government won't get pressured into sending spammy messages.

For example, what politician could turn down the grieving parents of a kidnapped child, when they call for using the emergency alert system for missing children?

But if I work from home, and there aren't any kidnapped children in my home, then waking me up at 5am with a missing child alert just inconveniences for no benefit to anyone.
I know of a guy who makes kitchens. Works three or four days a week, clears 300-500k a year.

But he’s a business - decades of experience and contacts and happy referring customers, a lot of money invested in equipment, and big upfront investment in materials for each job.
These are “Modernist” approaches, which is important to distinguish from “modern”

If you do not have people specializing in a task, if you divide their attention among exercised skills, you will reduce their efficacy across the entire set of their responsibilities. However, you will save staffing costs and continue to crush the souls of your employees under the weight of more and more hats, and since most people don’t trust software anyway, because of the bugs introduced by this status quo approach to testing, you’re unlikely to lose market share.

So the Modernist approach, which devalues staff and customers alike, robbing the former of their self actualization and the latter of their time, money and patience, is highly profitable.

But also symptomatic of a bankrupt culture.
Wow, I never even knew you could scroll upwards or both ways!

Works on Firefox too. I tried adding <blink> but (thankfully) that didn't work.

Blinking Marquees were a big thing.

I think the point of the analogy is that a clock isn't very useful for an individual, unless enough other people around you also have one. You don't gain much from being able to accurately tell the time down to minutes or seconds, because by far the biggest non-specialist use of clocks is synchronizing with other people. You'll come by the store at 08:00 sharp, and discover it's closed, because the day is cloudy and the storeowner's rooster overslept, so he still thinks it's early.

Such fundamental technologies have also a perverse tipping point, a kind of strong network effect in disguise. Continuing with the analogy, once enough people have clocks and start coordinating with them, they'll start forcing their preference on others, and soon enough everyone has to get a clock, or else they won't be able to synchronize with the society around them.

With timekeeping, this arguably happened before most of us were alive. But a more recent example, one that's being regularly lamented in bars and in press, is cellphones (and even more recently, smartphones): they went from a rich people's toy to being ubiquitous in ~decade, and these days there's a strong social expectation that you own one, and that through it, you're accessible during waking hours. People slightly older than I am call it an invisible chain/tether. Our children will probably call it "normal", just like my generation considers clocks normal.
While impressive number of images today. I believe this will be an underwhelming amount of images compared to what models are trained on in the future.

This is an incomplete analogy but from the time a baby is born that baby will have seen 1,892,160,000 frames of data per eye 3,784,320,000 frames in a year. That baby practically knows nothing about the world still.
The key is the scale of the dataset. Both the points you mention become irrelevant for a large dataset because

1) The chance that a significant percentage of the images become unavailable is low. Also, training on such a big dataset means your model generalizes well and is usually robust.

2) Again, you would need to inject adversarial/malicious images to a significant number of those links in the dataset for it to have actual impact on trained model. Again, unlikely.
Correct. Nuclear fusion research should be funded and realistic goals be set.
The other kind of problem is if the website is not really proxied but rather dumped, patched and re-served. In such case the only option (if JavaScript frontend redirect doesn't work) is blocking by IP the dumping server.

To identify IPs, as pointed in the root comment of this thread, you can create a one-pixel link to a dummy page, which dumping software would visit, but a human wouldn't. So you will see who visited that specific page and block those IPs for good.

Makes me wonder if just his sample is broken or rest of the review industry didn't notice/doesn't measure for efficiency properly.
Yes, please do elaborate
On the one hand, it does seem like it'd be nice if Substack had signed a support/integration deal with the Ghost team. That way Ghost could have gotten paid something for their hard work, and Substack could have avoided critical mistakes like the CDN security issue.

On the other hand, this seems like what success looks like for an MIT licensed project. A big company using the code to power their product without even having to contact, let alone ask permission of, anyone.

It seems to feel different for end-user applications like Ghost. But it's not actually any different than if they had powered Substack with SQLite or Postgres.
It seems the main problem we are trying to solve with writing is communication of ideas in a coherant fashion.

There will be a few different types of Students using chatGPT. Those blatantly cheating and just turning in blindly these works.

Those who have a hard time putting their ideas to page, but when asked can talk through their ideas.

A third group may arise, those who cheat blatantly, but then parrot what they used.

What am I saying here though, oral exams will separate these groups. Identifying what group the pupil is in helps understand how to actually help them progress.

My bias for this idea comes from my mother is a retired college professor and gave oral exams for two decades with large success in weeding out those who couldn't formulate ideas of their own.
Yeah if someone came out with a piece of hardware that could run the an NLP model to detect the common phrases (turn lights on/off, play music, etc.) and then have it prepackaged with home assistant it would ruin a lot of these cloud connected devices.
American football in 20 seconds: You have 4 opportunities to advance the ball a cumulative 10 yards, upon doing so, your 4 opportunities reset. Advance past the goal line = 6 points + opportunity for 1 additional. Fail to move 10 yards? Ball possession transfers to opponent. If it's 4th down (final opportunity) you can hedge -- punt the ball (transfer possession, but about 40 yards further away) or attempt a field goal (place kick through yellow uprights), which is worth 3 points.

Obviously there are nuances but that's 90% of it right there, in a lot less than 10 minutes.
I see other people in the comments saying that this might be used to limit people's rights. I don't view that as a good reason to not pursue this research.

We have existing legal frameworks for ensuring people's rights are protected. Doctors can't just kidnap someone, courts are involved. In many cases those rights and protections should be strengthened.

The fact that those protections and frameworks aren't perfect shouldn't stop doctors and medical researchers from doing their job, which is to treat patients.
I was curious about the difference in size between the Pixii and the A7 IV (which I also own).

Without lenses, the Pixii is indeed a lot smaller than the A7 IV. It's about 200g (0.44lbs) lighter and about half as "thick" from front to back. To be fair, the A7 IV "thickness" is most due to the right hand hand grip area.

I'd really love to see a gallery of comparison images taken with the Pixii vs. other similarly featured cameras.

That is false. Bjørn Lomborg has explicitly stated that he thinks anthropogenic global climate change is a real phenomenon, and that he accepts the science in IPCC reports.

Okay here's a typical example...

Try running Stable-Diffusion, specifically the Automatic1111 version, and merging various checkpoints.

On my 32GB PC, after doing a few merges, the linux kernel is beginning to use many GBs of swap. Further attempts at merging checkpoints can result in OOM kicking in.

If I can save a GB or two, that can help get those final mergings accomplished. Otherwise, it's a case of restarting the application and continuing from there.

An alternative is to keep increasing the available swap space. Mine is at 10GB by default. The problem with that is you can end up waiting for the system to swap stuff in and out, and this can result in system pauses.

The other alternative of course is to buy more RAM. And here was me thinking 32GB was a decent amount ;)
It's tempting to attribute this to Southern ideology, but California's "End Slavery in California Act" also failed for similar reasons. It's expensive to do what's right, so it's easier for lawmakers and officials to pretend that the system is working as intended and that punishment is the goal. This is the unspoken truth that they don't want to admit though sometimes it sneaks out: "It costs too much to do the right thing."

For the PinePhone you can install a free OS running the Baseband Processor:

Probably illegal and the firmware running the radio hardware is still proprietary.
Elon is also banning any account that posts the video of him getting booed at a Dave Chapelle show. He was never about free speech.
Acute pain - not chronic pain.
We needed to take delivery data from a proprietory legacy system. It already printed delivery notes so I spliced into the RS232 cable to the printer and took a feed into a second PC.

I then wrote a quick and dirty comms program to suck the data in, discard the unwanted control codes etc, and scrape the data into a usable form.

This was in pre-windows days, so the data going to a dot matrix printer was pretty simple. It would be a lot more chewy now I suspect.

This paper is specifically about topical application of these compounds. The last paper you read saying it was worse that cigarette smoke sounds like it was about inhalation of burning leaves.

Calling the the authors of the paper liars is a very strong claim that you haven't shown any evidence for.
I can't find a good chart for this but the GDP of the EU and the US were almost at par until 2008, after which there was a massive decoupling. The main difference in the EU's and US's response is the level of austerity each engaged in. The US's response, while certainly not ideal, was significantly better than the EU's response.

Can you give an example of what you think one of these "standardized set of steps" in construction is?

My suspicion is that, if you start trying to get specific, you can actually find standardized steps at the same level of abstraction in programming. But since construction superficially looks like "stamp out multiple copies of the same thing" whereas programming is superficially "everything is its own special sauce," people try comparing them at different levels of abstraction.
Medusa (mentioned above) is one of the most notable in the OS space.

Of proprietary solutions Commercetools & Fabric are often mentioned among larger commerce businesses.
"The last study I read found that it’s more harmful than cigarette smoke and that’s a serious bill"

I know this is total BS because the differences between the teeth/eyes/skin/house between hardcore stoners and hardcore tobacco smokers are far too obvious.

Stoners are so much better off it's not even funny.
Sweden urbanization 88%, Australia 86%. Swedes were not following masks rules and no strict lockdowns. Do you mean it is climate that makes Australia excessive deaths?
This does happen all the time tho.

Maybe HN should implement thread merging? A couple ideas..

A story could be merged by closing comments and setting an HTTP redirect, with some sort of notification on the landing page you've been redirected.

There's some utility to having a new batch of comments a few days later, so maybe alternatively, maybe have a section between story header and comments with a dupe area like you comments, but structured in a regular way to make it easy to page through.
I agree that we should stop pretending to recycle plastic. I do my part by throwing my waste plastic into the garbage instead of the recycling bin.
It’s the equivalent of pointing a loaded gun at someone. There’s a threat that it’s going to be a bad day for everyone.
Yes, mea culpa. I was calling out that I expect them to concentrate on economics, beyond that I surely went a clause too far.
> The last study I read found that it’s more harmful than cigarette smoke

Link? I've yet to find a study that has isolated cannabis-only smokers. They all typically find that cannabis + tobacco smoke is worse than just tobacco, which isn't all too surprising.
Oxygen only one part and for all we know there were other trace gasses in the air they required that we don't even know about.

There are all kinds of animals today we cannot keep alive in captivity because they require some sort of unknown sequence of environmental triggers to activate or deactivate various processes in their body.

For instance cheetahs are nearly impossible to breed in captivity because their mating process requires running for many miles to exhaustion. Without this the pregnancy rate is in the abyss even with artificial methods. There are endless examples thats just one off the top of my head.
Show me a fusion scientist saying fusion is 30 years away.
No one in the article is even saying that. It's people in the comments repeating the same thing from the 80s.
Don't know about the second question, but I think you are thinking of Dolly the sheep:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_(sheep)
The sheep was named Dolly, after Dolly Parton, because the cell used for cloning was taken from a mammary gland.

Local governing ignore externalities much easier. "Who cares if we dump our shit down the river. It's someone else's problem now!"
So that would be a problem without a solution.

> almost all residential energy use is heating. The amount of electricity used is minimal

Resistive heating.

> most states stopped importing energy they would have to go back to wood and coal-fired stoves

Most states don’t have high-baseload, low-latency life-or-death energy requirements. Those that do have the options I outlined above.
The article does talk a lot about the origins of C, so it's fair for that to be in the title. We can make it more accurate by throwing in CPL and BCPL too.
Does someone have a good introduction do micro-frontends? All I see is third-party widgets implemented using iframes or Web Components, and that is usually a nightmare for front-end performance.
NZ had a similar pattern; farmers there had to pool resources to process and export products (in their case, wool, meat, dairy, later on fruit too). Importantly and probably like Canada these markets developed with the industrialisation of Europe and the British Empire and the organisation of labour, and followed on from earlier co-operative movements in the UK & France.

These producers set up on co-operative lines, first locally i.e. most dairy areas had a creamery or something in each village. Over time these merged to take advantage of scale, especially in the 1970s and 1980s to compete internationally with the loss of the UK market to the EEC. Even today the largest NZ dairy company, Fonterra, is a supplier-owned co-operative, though it's now big enough to warrant a private segment on the New Zealand Stock Exchange for them to trade with each other. On the purchasing side a similar pattern emerged, and purchasing co-operatives are still common especially in the agriculture sector.
That's because there's clearly a flaw in how they chose the recent ones.
How can cannabis possibly end your life?
Apparently it's become so commonplace among pets that my dog's veterinary insurance policy specifically has an exclusion saying that our pet insurance does not cover cloning. I just googled "Dog Cloning" and there were a bunch of results offering the service.
Right - I think, at this point, that L1 cache latency is worse than main-memory latency on a 'per CPU clock' basis than it was in the late 1990s!
Ah, ok. I’ve been trying to go back for a while now, but the bureaucracy and rigidity of the education system, combined with some unique life circumstances have made it impossible so far. Universities don’t seem to want anyone who’s not a traditional student (unless ofc it’s a low income adult, that they can sell “useless” online degrees to) and community colleges treat me like a clueless teenager and want to hand hold every step of the way.
Eh, it's half the size of British Columbia. If you're visiting for more than a few days, it seems reasonable to travel across the country to see something interesting.
That's fair. I'm sure I did not give a fully-balanced view of the Economist.
The cost reasons though are people concern-trolling for a reason to continue to do the wrong thing. Not to mention, in the article they state how much extra cash is needed to keep people beyond their detention date. When it's something awful that they want the state to do, things like adventurous and optional wars, or the War On Drugs, we never hear murmurings about "costs".
A little tangential, but carriers and hackers can execute arbitrary code on your device through OTA updates with the baseband modem. It's even been done on 5G.

Which also reminds me how the NSA has intentionally crippled standards in the past so they could eavesdrop or inject code without having to go through the carrier. This means Johnny Scriptsalot can do it too.
I was in exactly the same situation last week. A risk of a serious illness was identified and all of a sudden the red carpet was rolled out - next day appointments for procedures that typically take at least weeks to get scheduled. Now that they've ruled out everything really nasty (thank goodness) it's back to waiting a week for my doctor to reply to my messages.
What is [50-99] in regular expression?
As the slide says, it's not 50-99 characters so what it is?

Source: https://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~pfodor/courses/CSE307/L02_Programming_RE.pdf

Also, please tell me how to learn regular expressions? Recommend some university/any courses to take for learning regular expression for backend development. (Not the one we learnt in theory of automata and computation).

There are lots of resources to learn it like regexpal for testing regular expressions, regexone.com for learning it. But how'd you learn it? Like what process do you follow to learn it?

Which book would you recommend out of these?
1) Beginning regular expressions Andrew Watt

2) Introducing regular expressions oreilly

3) Introducing regular expressions oreilly

4) Javascript regular expressions packt

5) Mastering regular expressions oreilly

6) Regular expressions pocket primer

7) Regex quick syntax reference
