I was expecting to see him put together a Pong circuit from 74LS discrete logic chips and 555 timers like the one Al Alcorn made for the original Pong arcade machine. Bringing up a Pong-on-a-chip is kind of cool too.

Show HN: Rip HTML/CSS snippets from any element on a web page with a selector
I made a chrome extension to extract styles from elements on a webpage. Its surprisingly hard to do without access to chrome debugger API in manifest V3. It doesn't work for every site and I’m still improving it. A particular sore spot is with media queries but I'm working on a solution.

Any feedback is appreciated.

The Next Programming Language
I've never been a fan of chef, vagrant, puppet, ansible and tools like that. They don't relieve you from the responsibility of knowing how to sysadmin and knowing bash so I don't find them worth it.

Ideally my "runbook" has text instructions to download and run a script, otherwise it has more steps.

The hierarchy of tools I'd use for automation is:

* bash
* python
* java

An unusually complex one I built constructs and tears down systems in the cloud that do some work, such as booting up a AWS instance that contains a database server, building a large database, then making an AMI. The Java program sets up the instance and the resources the instance needs and writes a bash script that the instance runs when it boots up. When the instance is done doing its thing, it posts a message to the Java program that shuts the instance down, makes the AMI, etc.
Published data is a catch-22. Dangerous intersections may look worse than other options simply due to the fact that they're more heavily used. In my area, I have 3 different options to get to the same location:

1. Take the most western-route to a traffic light, make a right, and then another right into the destination.

2. Take a more slightly eastern single-lane back road that puts me right out at the destination with still an immediate right onto the main road before getting there (danger factor in the single-lane aspect)

3. Take the most eastern route, make an unprotected left turn onto the main highway (often having to use the center median lane as a buffer for space), and then make another unprotected left into the destination.

Option 1 would show the most published crash data since it's a traffic-light intersection and is most busy by default, while I'd argue that it's also still the safest.

The problem with your idea around 'concentric social circles' is that it would require a lot of management - managing a thousand different circles could be a nightmare. A cap on members would force aggregators to potentially push messages to other circles. Just some things off the top of my head.

A quick google suggests Na-S cells at high temperatures are ~2.1V nominal (as opposed to 3.2V for LFP), but I lack the physics chops to parse the paper in the article to validate this.

I have a question around this.

So if the website doesn't collect any data at all, except for what is needed for running the website and preventing malicious users (so, collecting ips for a week in the logs to use fail2ban), do they need a "privacy" section?

I ask because a privacy section requires a lawyer, and that is a big cost for a simple static website with no earning goals

When I used to catch the orange line from Mass Ave every day, one could just ask the friendly MBTA helpers there to open a gate for you. Ostensibly a service intended for hands full, handicap, etc, but they knowingly used it to let people on for free all the time as a sort of 'direct action'.

Do you want favourites of 2022, or classics that are still great? Because Saboteur is 18 years old.

Some of my favourites from this year include:

CombiNations - a very quick tile-laying where you score points by making large contiguous fields of the same type, with added depth coming from bonus points and the way you can choose what tile to lay.

Clockworker - a kind of worker placement game with a twist: you can place lots of workers at once, but they only produce when they return home one at a time, giving the feeling of winding up devices that slowly wind down. Great concept slightly hampered by the iconography describing the various bonuses that the purchasable artifact cards provide.

Lost Ruins of Arnak -- significantly bigger than the other two, giving a real Indiana Jones adventure/treasure hunter feel. You need to have the right vehicle to travel to interesting locations where you can discover treasures, generally guarded by some monster. You're going to need some tools or weapons to defeat it. You collect stuff that you spend to get bonuses that help you get more stuff. Great atmosphere, great mechanics.

Revive -- After a big catastrophe, humanity finally crawls out of their caves and starts exploring the world again, hopefully gaining knowledge on how to operate these ancient machines. Beautiful board, clever mechanics.

Starship Captains -- Not about Star Trek at all! Honestly! Perfectly encapsulates the experience of captaining a starship on a 5 year mission to explore strange new worlds.
If this parasitic business model is legally crushed, companies will just move on to the next one, and likely eliminate an entire class of games that a lot of people enjoy because they cant make as much money off of it.
> Two minutes of searching would have led you here: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

That page says: "For Xfce 4.18, the plan is to ensure our applications are working acceptably on Wayland"

Since this is the 4.18 release and Wayland is not mentioned in the blog post, it's reasonable to ask if that plan is still in place. (I do agree it's up to XFCE maintainers and contributors to set the pace, if any, for Wayland support).

Here's what I did back when I used XFCE a couple of years ago:

The xfce whiskermenu plugin includes a text search feature that looks similar to the one from Windows. On Xubuntu the whiskermenu is the default "start menu" while in some other distros you may need to add it in the panel settings. Finally, in the keyboard shortcuts bind Super to the xfce4-popup-whiskermenu command, to bring up whisker menu for a text search.

Hey! Thanks a lot for the shout. I’m Alex, one of the founders of Deel. We’re a 2,000+ team across 85+ countries, so we certainly have quite a bit of experience in this department. We also have over 10,000 customers, ranging from startups to big corporations.

Many companies we talk with usually mention your key point here. Another crucial one we often see is businesses need help knowing where to start or are intimidated by the idea of doing something wrong.

I’m a bit biased here, but I think we’ve certainly solved most of the other issues you mentioned. We connect people with tryroots.io, tackle salary bands with https://www.deel.com/salary-insights, and handle compliance/payroll/local entities with our core product.
There’s still work to do, that’s for sure. However, it’s our mission to democratize global hiring and simplify the process so companies can get started with complete confidence and know they have all the tools needed.

Things got 100x better over (maybe even more) the last two years, and I’m sure they’ll improve over the next 10+.

P.S. If you want to help us make it happen, we are hiring!
Search Documents Quickly with Extractive Question Answering
Imagine a situation where you have thousands of documents

But need to find an answer from the documents

And at the same time, get the document where the answer is coming from

You could open and search the documents one by one

But that would take forever

Enter Extractive Question Answering with Sparse Transformers

With Extractive Question Answering, you input a query into the system

And in return, you get the answer to your question and the document containing the answer.

Extractive Question Answering enables you to search many records and find the answer.

It works by:
- Retrieving documents that are relevant to answering the questions.
- Returns text that answers that question.

Language models make this possible.

For example, the receiver can be a masked language model.

The reader can be a question-answering model.

The challenge of these language models is that they are quite large.

The size makes it hard to deploy the models for real-time inference.

For example, deploying big models is not possible on mobile devices.

Furthermore, inference time, latency, and throughput are also critical.

The solution is to reduce the model's size while maintaining its accuracy.

Making the model small is easy but maintaining accuracy is challenging.

These can be achieved by pruning and quantizing the model.

Pruning involves removing some weight connection from an otherwise overprecise and overparameterized model.

Furthermore, you can reduce the precision of the floating points to make the model smaller.

In today's article, I cover this in more detail. Including:
Document retrieval with DeepSparse and arXiv dataset
Document retrieval with a dense and sparse model

This is a true for me, probably not true for you, partly tongue in cheek reply: nurture intense anxiety around not doing things. I hate having "jobs waiting" and not feeling like I'm doing something. Even if I'm relaxing I'll generally be doing a sudoku, puzzle, listening to an interview, or getting lost in Wikipedia extending my knowledge of pointless trivia for University Challenge.

There are pros and cons (washing the pots up before eating dinner is never popular, but oh so necessary..) but I feel better than when I used to be tomorrow-man. It helps if you live with people who tolerate this approach. Am I always doing the right things? Ha, no - that's a separate challenge orthogonal to having the motivation to act at all.
> For something like a cache on a CPU (the main use of SRAM), what's the purpose of it being non-volatile? SRAM doesn't need refreshing, and it's a relatively small percentage of total power.

It sounds like it would be chosen for other reasons, and there would no purpose for the non-volitiliy beyond it being a nice-to-have in some weird scenarios.

Sort of like using core as main memory. That was just the main memory technology of its day, it happened to be non-volatile, but that wasn't it's main selling point.

He had biggest share of votes in that election. That is actually a lot, expecting any party to have over 50% vote is unreasonable benchmark. He did broke the constitution when taking the final power. And the vote was under threat of violence. And the elections themselves were done in violent environment. It is not like him winning or taking power was clean, it was not at all.

But, he did had a lot of support at that point.
The most important thing I need from a programmer I work with is their ability to have a fruitful conversation with me about why the code might be written one way or another, and for them to iterate on the code in response to those conversations.

If a coder can write code, but they can’t do that, they’re useless to the org. It will be faster for me to write their code myself than to maintain what they’ve done.

So really that’s what I’d need from an AI coder. Writing the code is good, but can we talk about it and can you learn the specific architecture principles we have applie in this specific codebase.
It seems preposterous, but DeepMind’s new coding AI just trounced roughly 50 percent of human coders in a highly competitive programming competition.
We need to do both. Change is coming, no stopping that, but how much change we can effect.

Making money through art is already not a feasible career, as you yourself learned. If you want a job that millions of people do for fun in their free time, you can expect that job to be extremely hard to get and to pay very little.

The solution isn't to halt technological progress to try to defend the few jobs that are actually available in that sector, the solution is to fight forward to a future where no one has to do dull and boring things just to put food on the table. Fight for future where people can pursue what they want regardless of whether it's profitable.

Most of that fight is social and political, but progress in ML is an important precursor. We can't free everyone from the dull and repetitive until we have automated all of it.

> "In addition, the year 2020 was exceptionally hot from early spring to late summer over northern Eurasia, a sensitive region for CH4 emissions from biogenic sources such as wetlands, permafrost slumps and arctic lakes, which are expected to emit more CH4 as the temperature increases."

I wish people would be realistic and just admit that the tipping point for climate is in the past - because even if there was complete elimination of fossil fuel use in the next decade (highly unlikely), polar warming has resulted in permafrost melt, so that's going to keep dumping carbon to the atmosphere at a slow steady rate. At best, elimination of fossil fuels over the next 3-5 decades will only result in slower warming over the last few decades of the 21st century. We also haven't even come close to realizing warming from the past 5 decades, as the time-to-equilibrium for current forcing is ~100 years. This means a return to climate conditions last seen 3-5 million years ago, during the Pliocene.

Practically, this means as much will have to be spent on adaptation to new conditions as will have to be spent on transition to a non-fossil energy system.
What's your point? Pointing out other billionaires doesn't make the billionaire we're discussing less horrible. Most billionaires are horrible in my opinion.
