Looks like this is the authority of regulation in Albania

Usually a telecom operator agrees to some specifications as part of winning the bid for the license. And usually those specifications include obligation to be neutral when transmitting data.

Try to find that spec, find the right section, and complain formally to the authority of regulation.
> Nope, I'm advocating for letting the app developers do what they want.

You're contradicting yourself. Your comments above are specifically arguing against the idea of implementing this system at all:

> Right. So that's moving the control of the binding from the app to the system settings. The problem is that it makes it harder for the app to have sane defaults.

That is an argument against the OS-meddles-with-the-keybindings system, period. Your statement "I'm advocating for letting the app developers do what they want" is flat-out false - you are advocating against app developers implementing this system at all (and therefore advocating against letting them do what they want) by claiming that it is a bad model.

Additionally, you're trying to quietly change the discussion from "what makes things best for the user/what is good UX" (which has been the actual conversational topic) to "what do app developers want to do" which is completely orthogonal and irrelevant to this discussion.

> Well first you need to find a way to integrate that toggle in your UI without people complaining too much...

...and now you've stopped trying make arguments about the concept itself, and are trying to start arguing about hypothetical implementation problems to argue that the concept is unsound. (MacOS has effectively solved all of these problems, by the way, so this line of reasoning doesn't even pan out - MacOS's model is existence proof that such a system can be effectively implemented and that users will like it)

> That's also the reason why we don't get well integrated Desktop apps, and instead get ElectronJS apps that ship with a full browser: it's cheaper for the devs to ship a website with a browser and pretend that it is a Desktop app than to actually make a Desktop app.

Finally, there's more redirection from "is it a good idea" to "will people implement it" - again, unrelated and irrelevant to the conversational thread.

Do you have anything actually relevant that you'd like to add?

Sounds like a lot of bad manager hires...
If the expectation is that you get "cred" based on how much work went into a merged PR or a vuln ID, it doesn't sound like vuln IDs or merged PRs are cred at all. Unless whenever I talk to somebody I'm expected to read through all their recent vulns/PRs to calculate how much cred they've earned based on the contents?
This is very conspiratorial and generalizing. Everyone paints the right as conspiracy crazy but the left usually gets away with discussing their own conspiracies unchallenged. Marxism (along with all the other anti-capitalist tropes) is fundamentally a conspiracy theory, for instance.

Not to mention you claim that all these small business owners are anti-immigration yet they don't want labor laws? That seems contradictory since labor laws are usually enacted as a protectionist measure. If anything immigration in all of its forms is essential for small and big business alike since it provides cheap labor.

My parents' generation (in the UK) were physically beaten as children. It was a normal part of parenting and part of school.

My hope is that one day we will consider this emotionally abusive behaviour as seriously as we we now look at physical abuse. Though I don't hold out much hope. Especially as there are still some people holding out for the right to hit their children even now.
The GC may copy data around, though. So, when you scramble the data there may be already be copies of the previous value in memory. I think that's the biggest drawback.
Yeah, I do the same, but I wish I didn't have to. It's opposite of how I write text in all other contexts, and is really annoying when I forget to hold down [Alt] and get a modal admonishing me for having written a shit formula. Then I have to dismiss that modal, click on the cell again, and get back to where I was.

Even worse, I spend a good chunk of time in Power BI, and it has a similar formula field (for DAX expressions), that mimics Excel a bit, but there you use [Shift] to insert newlines. So I'm always using the wrong modifier key and spewing insults at my computer.
Nice writeup. So basically this problem could have been mitigated by having as much of the data available locally in a database, and a UI to make changes to that data by crew?
Technically C/C++ have an as-if rule (the optimizer can do whatever it wants as long as the program behaves as-if it ran the source code provided) that allows the optimizer to create cached copies and/or omit the memset. There is no way to express in C/C++ that all traces of a given variable should be removed. Though I guess there are constructs that work well enough in practice and you can always check the generated assembly.

Nope, the paper goes into it.

It's saying some proportion is, but it's unknown (and likely unknowable) what the actual proportion really is, for a multitude of reasons. It's unlikely to be most.

There are a lot of similar issues with mortality data in general, but kids are a particularly sensitive topic. For instamce, a large portion of 'gun cleaning accidents' are suicides. How many has changed with the times and the fashions. It's possible to guesstimate approximately of course, but we'll never really know for sure unless we somehow plunked an invisible researcher over the shoulder of every person all day every day.
That's interesting actually. It suggests that a major reason this works is because of its cognates with English that give you a starting point. So for example, a native Korean speaker would really struggle to learn from this curriculum, and the strategy wouldn't work very well to learn Korean. I wonder if it's possible at all to convey enough with pictures to design a curriculum like this when you don't have the help of cognates.

This is such a depressing comment to read.

Yes, there was political furor over it. The original people who were supporting the possibility that this drug MIGHT be useful against covid were legitimate doctors and researchers.

Some politicians got overly excited about that, some politicians got overly upset about that. All of the legitimate discussion happening around it got lost in the crossfire of annoying politicians.
Definitely wondering if there will be an engineering exodus to non-tech if the tech industry’s fortunes don’t improve in 2023.
Recently I started building Excel addons with custom formulas (e.g. =company.inventory(upc, WAREHOUSE), which call an api. This has blown the minds of non-tech folks among my clients. They equate this to magic.

I was forced into doing this because after a year of digging to find out what reporting they wanted in the dashboard (“oh a thousand things… where’s the Excel spreadsheet export button?”), I gave up and now default to giving them all reporting via Excel, using these custom formulas.
If your network setup (be it wireguard or whatever) is such that you're okay with plain HTTP vs HTTPS, you should also be fine to use plain MQTT vs MQTTS, right?

I agree that it's easier to test HTTP but lots of IoT stuff plays nicely with mqtt.
Very open ended question. Maybe tell us what you tried so far, what depth knowledge or background you has now.

pick any of the top results on youtube for react development. course not super necessary but if u really want, check react on coursera and take any of top results with good rating.

if you want to be very successful dont glue yourself to one specific stack.

start with react node but focus on patterns like how requests are made from client to server, server gives back responses. you application had metrics, logs, likely connects to some database.

it would be good to take an intro to CS course on YouTube. Stanford and mit have free online.

Deeper understanding will help u differentiate from crowd of everyone else trying to take boot camp and become coder.

practice what you learn. Code side projects. learning react? Everything u learn, try apply to your own website.

I've been riding the Washington State ferries for over 50 years, so I wasn't tricked into cutting. Tourists and recent transplants would easily fall into this trap though. The Bainbridge line is particularly problematic as the cutting mostly happens at the last intersection, which is also heavily used by local traffic. There are signs, but some of them are a little confusing. For example, the requirement to ignore the HOV lane markings when getting into the line that forms on the road approaching the terminal.

It’s a noble idea but seems kind of doomed to the recursive taxonomy problem.

How would I classify work that I created personally, after being inspired to think about a topic by an AI-authored work?

And would use of Photoshop’s context-aware tools mean that an otherwise hand-drawn artwork is AI assisted?

I’m not sure it’s a solvable problem, but one idea would be to tag different aspects of a work: concept, execution, post-processing, distribution. Each of those can range from (nearly) 0% to 100% AI.

And it recurses from there.
Ask HN: Lightweight Authentication
I want to let users log in to my proof-of-concept Web app. However, I don't want to maintain a fully-fledged authentication solution, managing logins, passwords, OAuth tokens, and their recovery.

Ideally, I'd like to receive a unique user token and allow one to log in back if they decide to return. I don't need any user metadata.

OpenID requires quite an effort and a provider like Google or Okta. The most-matching concept was Mozilla Persona, but it was shut down in 2016.

What is the better way to implement this? Should I stick to the plain old login-password combination?

Sounds like a frustrating waste of time. Autocorrect/suggest is already one of least useful aspects of Excel. I would much rather they focus on improving the UI of writing formulas - perhaps a dedicated sidebar that let you blow up heavily nested equations?
@airstrike gave me the following very helpful clue when I complained about this a couple years ago: "Just hit F2 while editing a formula to toggle between Edit and Enter modes, one of which will behave as you expect. The other mode, which you hate, is very useful when you want to add references to other cells into your formula"*

There is a designation in the lower left of the window to show whether you're in Edit or Enter mode.

Transistors at that scale are 3D rather than 2D, so the expected scaling ratios no longer apply. If you wanted double the density of a 2D transistor with 5nm features, you'd need to scale down to 3.5nm, but if you wanted to double the volumetric density in 3D, you'd only need to go down to 4nm.

How do you make meaningful compare to past generations with that being the case? You could then just describe it in 2D terms, and refer to your 4nm process as 3nm. Then all of the same rules of thumb still hold.

I assume this is responsible for at least some portion of the deviation and confusion, though maybe not all of it. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
This is dubious to say the least.
Great insight! Never considered how much I am relying on instinct when coding. Now thinking about it - it plays a very important role.
The situation here is also far more akin to what "homeless" meant pre-1980, or largely pre-1970.

Up through the 1960s, homelessness was almost wholly a temporary condition, and the immediate result of some calamity: fire, flood, hurricane, earthquake, or other acute disaster. Homelessness was not used to describe the condition of being chronically unsheltered for the most part. Terms such as "transient", "unattached", "itinerant", "vagrant", and the like were more common. The condition was far more associated with working age men rather than families.

This can be confirmed through Google's Ngram Viewer using a wildcard search such as "* homeless" (where "made homeless" and "rendered homeless" are among the top results in the period 1800--1970:

<https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=*+homeless&yea...>

Contrast 1971--2000 where these fall down ("made ...") or off ("rendered ...") the list entirely.

You can also search the term in archives such as the New York Times where it is clear that through the early 1970s the term almost wholly applied to disasters.

(I've noted this before on HN, see: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18499697>.)

The bats in this story effectively suffered a single and acute shock. They were sheltered in an attic, and released back to the wild.

Our experience with homelessness has shown that short-term shelters are not in fact viable interventions to solving the underlying causes. That's not to say that short-term interventions are never appropriate: when someone's drowning, throw them a line, get them out of the water, move them to safety, get them warm, etc. But if you find that a certain location, or population, seems to be continuously drowning, you might care to move upstream to find what's generating that condition.

(The flagged parent comment is in some ways a shallow dismissal, but also a teachable moment.)

Excel is a generic spreadsheet program that's designed to be used by 90% of people for 90% of use cases. Accommodating for this niche use case will definitely break things for many existing users. The real solution is for geneticists (and other data scientists) to use software designed more specifically for their use cases, such as CSV files and pandas or something more GUI-based but meant for researchers.
Did they?

> to do that I have to hold down [Alt] and mash the spacebar like a caveman.
The technique used to calculate APT/ATT (the underlying metrics for timeliness) are documented here (you have to click through a few folds)[1].

They don't appear to be simulated or theoretical: they're based on riders' swipes into the system. They do make certain ridership assumptions, however, because of the limited data (e.g. that customers use the same "corridor" during weekdays, and that the next swipe-in corresponds roughly to the last exit during weekdays). Those assumptions don't strike me as unreasonable, given the MTA's inability to collect exit data.

Edit: The page goes into detail on those restrictions as well. Interestingly, it sounds like OMNY gives them more precise timestamps, and thus has allowed them to improve the quality of the their metrics over the past ~2 years. The fact that they haven't swung substantially during OMNY's rollout indicates that there wasn't significant error in the previous data.

Ask HN: clarifications about Computer Science degree titles
Apologies in advance for the length but HN is the most CompSci-literate community I'm aware of.

I'm a UK-based web dev finally going to university in order to round out my knowledge with a degree in CompSci, trying to decide between London and Birmingham. During my extensive research I've noticed that many universities seem to repackage what's essentially the same course - identical or mostly identical lists of modules - under different degree titles. For example, a few of the University of Birmingham's Computer Science courses are named as follows:

- Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science BSc
- Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science with a Year in Industry BSc
- Computer Science with Digital Technology Partnership BSc
- Computer Science/Software Engineering MEng

But comparing each degree on the UoB website shows the list of modules is identical apart from one extra module that is removed or added depending on the "specialism".

In the case of these courses by the University of Greenwich in London:

- Computer Science BSc Hons
- Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) BSc Hons
- Computer Science (Cyber Security) BSc Hons
- Computer Science (Data Science) BSc Hons

...the available modules are completely identical, with one or two becoming compulsory or optional based on the "specialism".

In these cases, where I essentially have the choice to study all or 95% of the same modules - does the generic or specialist degree title (Computer Science vs Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)) look more impressive to employers/clients? Does the extra specialism help, by making the degree look broader, or are future employers/clients likely to understand the breadth of a standalone Computer Science degree?

For that matter and on the same topic, Imperial College London generally seems to rank as the best computer science degree in the UK after Cambridge and Oxford, but for some reason I can't fathom they've called this degree "Computing", which tbh sounds closer to something in IT support. If I were to apply for this degree, is there anything to stop me from calling it Computer Science on my CV?

ZFS (Zettabyte File System) is very much separate from Z-Library (and its alternative frontends like libgen).
It's most likely because of the actual runtime size of the model. All the open models are sized for consumer-grade devices, and thus 10x-100x smaller than whatever OpenAI runs (probably around 100+ GB in VRAM, maybe even some multiples more). This is one of the main reasons why their API makes business sense - it's not practical at all to run models like GPT-3 yourself, and training them costs incredible amount of money too.

I just did a quick test, it could do with slightly fuzzier searching ('Epub' as an extension got me no result while 'epub' did, a drop down menu with options might be better/simpler for some fields) but, otherwise, it seems functional and useful.
I think it does. The man page for execve(2) documents it. On my system, the documented limit is 2 MiB.

OTOH, I do sort of see the argument for "why is there an arbitrary limit here?", beyond just "it's limited by available memory".

OTOH, what on Earth is one doing, passing more than 2 MiB of arguments to a program? Surely one would be better served with piped input, at that point…
I post this comment quite frequently on HN, but yet again this is not a randomized controlled trial, but rather an observational study. On top of that, they state several insignificant statistics using the point estimate (e.g. "Hydroxychloroquine initiators had an 8% lower rate of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias compared to methotrexate initiators (95% confidence interval 17% to 0%)" (paraphrased).
Not RESTful at all. Not a mention of hypermedia.
Thanks for sharing, I had come here to post a similar take - fMRIs have their place, but they also generate a lot of junk science.
When interpreting the observational literature (including my own work) I find it helpful to think like a threat actor: how can this association be broken?

Note that this is an article making huge claims about Alzheimer's but is published in Molecular Psychiatry. Given that signal, I'm just going to look at the abstract and not read the full text.

Here, the study population is patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This tells you up front that we don't have a typical population, but a highly selected one.

The use of HCQ is observational, not randomly assigned.

So, how could HCQ look protective even if it had no effect on Alzheimer's biology?

1. Maybe more rheumatoid arthritis patients should be on HCQ. It's a disease-modifying drug, after all. So it may be the case that people with better care, or more wealth, are more likely to be on HCQ. And that could be associated with other lifestyle factors that are never fully accounted for in an observational analysis.

2. Or it could be the case that people with dementia are less likely to have their HCQ prescriptions renewed, so the arrow of causation could even be reversed.

Additionally, one could imagine that HCQ might actually protect against Alzheimer's disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis—but not in a general population. That would be very big news, but would require further study.

And sure, it could be the case that HCQ reduces Alzheimer's risk in everyone. But you'd need a lot more evidence to buy that.
Thank you for saving me from having to look this up.
