Some people today raised concerns about disabling background refreshes (the temporary workaround originally suggested by the Go team) as having possibly unacceptable resulting performance for end users...

...but it sounds like disabling background refreshes would have strictly better end-user performance than what the Sourcehut team had been planning as described in their blog post today (GOPRIVATE and whatnot)?
Absolutely this, but I cannot blame the OP, as you can tell this is another US biased coffee making & consuming experience. The best these people may have tried, and failed to ever reach and enjoy the true quality, having - indeed - some complexity behind it, is in visiting Starbucks.

On the other hand - if you visit a serious place in Europe (recommend Italy, or France), for example, try a true expresso, made with a true machine, with proper grains ground to the proper size and all other necessary conditions (water, temperature, etc.), then you'd ask yourself how you could have ever considered coffee anything else than a worthy experience, like the French cuisine. Then you save and invest into a proper machine and grinder, and forget the Mr. Coffee monstrosity having ever inflicted your senses.

Even without the investment in a high end machine, an expresso setup in the price ranges above, with Yirgacheffe grains freshly ground, brings the joy of a coffee to a "place" that a morning with such gives the rest of the day another level of "joie de vivre"

Same with "complex" software ...
I see a problem there with the pythonic range() function. I suggest to create syntax that can express closed, partially closed and open intervals. And make it always requiring two arguments.

As it is now, people have to know the quirks of python to understand what this schema wants to say. The meaning should be clear on first look.
It's very common, especially in places like SF, for all the old buildings and neighborhoods that people actually like to be illegal to build if they were new.

Of course, in SF it's practically illegal to build anything under any circumstances if any of your neighbors decide they don't like it.

When someone tries non-single source recycling, it becomes clear how much of the current recycling dog and pony show is bullshit - because all except a small hard core of folks won’t do it unless they get paid! Which, frankly, is a really strong signal.

For those folks, they’re just wasting their time, because it has to go through the same sorting process as single source does, as everyone’s recycling gets co-mingled, and most others just throw random trash in there.

And that won’t scale for non-economic recycling (aka currently things that aren’t Aluminum and certain other metals).

In a lot of the Bay Area (even Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and Santa Clara!) it’s normal for folks to go through every morning and raid everyones recycle bins for valuable recycling before the city trash vendor can arrive, then sell it.

Everything else gets left of course, as it’s a cost, and usually just gets sent into the trash anyway.
I am pretty certain BeepBox (An online sequencer/tracker) does this as well. It's pretty neat to send something in progress to a friend with just a URL, no accounts needed.

Sure! For most point and shoot situations, I just leave Halide in HEIC mode and treat it just about exactly the same as the camera app. The controls are largely similar - you tap and hold to get an exposure slider, you tap the icon indicating the current lens to switch lenses, etc.

If I want 48 megapixel resolution and/or the added capture detail from ProRAW I'll turn on RAW+HEIC. That gives you a ProRaw you can edit after, as well as an "instant exposure" that basically just converts it to what you'd expect from HEIC mode. There is a tremendous amount of detail captured in the ProRaw shots that is processed away by the default app. As far as I know, you can't actually take 48 megapixel photos in the default camera app.

I seldom ever need to edit an individual file, because even if I'm shooting in 48mpx Halide will cook off an instagram-friendly edited version right away automatically. If I ever do want to tinker with the raw exposure, it's an option. The rest of the UI did take some fiddling to get used to, but I started out switching to Halide whenever I wanted to take a particularly good photo and before long I found myself using Halide for everything, because otherwise I'd be reviewing pictures and realize how much better one could have come out if I hadn't used the default app.

I found the official review of the 14 Pro camera by Halide's developer Lux to be a good primer on leveraging the app's capabilities: https://lux.camera/iphone-14-pro-camera-review-a-small-step-...

We used to write them in BASIC back at the UofIowa in the 80's. Lots of pattern matching for subject and object; lots of dialog trees. It was fun!

One observation Bob Bryla made was, count the number of words that begin with 'N' and treat each as a logical-negation. With a very small dictionary of additional negation words (e.g. can't) and a whitelist (e.g. nice) you could tell the sense of a statement or question pretty accurately.

Nope, never, not, nada, na, nobody and on and on.

> You frame it as obsession, but really it's just good policy.

Well, there are alternative ways to reduce the risks presented by a fire in the primary staircase trapping people inside.

For example, good sprinkler coverage of the primary staircase, strict rules prohibiting storing anything flammable below the staircase or running electrical wiring there, compartmentation so there's time for the fire brigade to arrive before a fire can spread between homes, housing options for vulnerable citizens so only able-bodied people have to evacuate via the stairs, and so on.

Of course, many American buildings are made of wood, so it's understandable why American fire codes look different to European ones - and if I had to be in a burning building but could choose the design, an American-style single storey suburban home where every room has a window you can climb out of at ground floor level is hard to beat!

I have the Note3. I mainly use it as an eReader. The large size is really comfortable for reading, including PDFs which were unreadable on my old Kindle. Since it has Chrome, I often use it to read HN, especially long-form articles.

The stylus is pretty good for note-taking but I don't take notes. It's probably a little pricey for just an e-reader, but I use it a _lot_ so I think it's fine.
> seems pretty toxic

We don't have a totally nontoxic power source. We do have ones which offer better options for containment. Coal ash is radioactive and toxic [1]. Solar panels are also toxic [2]. But we don't grind them into a fine powder before sprinkling them over communities. On this scale, nuclear is toxic, but in small, contained and manageable masses.

> paying (currently) over half a billion dollars a year in storage costs

Your link fingers "the United States' failure to implement a permanent solution for nuclear waste storage" as the cause for the "half-a-billion dollars a year [paid] to the utilities for their simply keeping the fuel" [3]. The current solution passably inefficient. The efficient solutions are blocked by activists.

I worked a block away in 2017-8, when the street-level floors housed retailer Totokaelo (RIP). I'd go window shopping just to be able to explore it a bit.

Yeah I got a countertop oven/air fryer for Christmas. It's nice and all, but very complicated. It has over 100 preset modes, and you can program your own. But 99% of the time all I want to do is set a temperature and a time. That's easy enough, but it would be a much more elegant machine without all the other options and controls.
Adding a second stairway typically requires rearranging the building to be double-loaded (having a central hallway with apartments exclusively on either side), which wastes much more space, only allows windows on one side of the apartment, feels like you live in a hotel etc.

I just can't wrap my head around what your issue is here. Only lawyers talk like this. Are you a lawyer? People feel a corporation has committed such wrong doing that they should no longer exist.

Can't recommend this highly enough, if for no other reason than to provide some context to help the OP from getting trapped in the "deep learning is all you need" echo-chamber. Sure ANN's and DL are great and do amazing things, but until it's proven that they really are the "be all, end all" (something I suspect we're far from) then it makes sense to dedicate at least some cycles to considering other paradigms.
This is true, but neither of these things are what Luke is after.

> A capability (known in some systems as a key) is a communicable, unforgeable token of authority.

That's verbatim the second sentence on Wikipedia!

That's not "an implementation detail", it's core of the whole concept.

> Capability-based security is to be contrasted with an approach that uses traditional UNIX permissions and Access Control Lists.

> Although most operating systems implement a facility which resembles capabilities, they typically do not provide enough support to allow for the exchange of capabilities among possibly mutually untrusting entities to be the primary means of granting and distributing access rights throughout the system. A capability-based system, in contrast, is designed with that goal in mind.
There's a far better Keurig alternative with ZERO cleanup. Not easy cleanup, ZERO.
(Edit: To clarify - zero extra, relative to a Keurig.)

They are called "hanging ear coffee filters" - it's just a disposable paper filter with two arms on it. You can get a box of
100 for about 10 cents each.

Filter attaches to your mug, coffee goes in filter, pour boiling water into the top. The process is almost exactly what a Keurig would do. Makes a single-serve coffee in your mug with no cleanup.

It's cheaper and better and more environmental, and you can use whatever coffee you want.

ELIZA is mentioned in passing in Cormac McCarthy's latest novel, Stella Maris (which is a companion/coda to his novel that came out one month prior: The Passenger). I didn't know what ELIZA was when it was mentioned, and looked it up and that kicked off a long rabbithole of learning about early AI researchers. I thought it was funny that people in the 60s attributed human-like qualities to ELIZA, which we now view as a ridiculously primitive program. Perhaps the humans of 2073 will look back on ChatGPT/etc very similarly to the way we now look at ELIZA.
Relevant quote from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA):

"Some of ELIZA's responses were so convincing that Weizenbaum and several others have anecdotes of users becoming emotionally attached to the program, occasionally forgetting that they were conversing with a computer.[3] Weizenbaum's own secretary reportedly asked Weizenbaum to leave the room so that she and ELIZA could have a real conversation. Weizenbaum was surprised by this, later writing: "I had not realized ... that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people."

Wikipedia states that a version of ELIZA is still available in emacs under m-x doctor or something similar. Not being an emacs user, I haven't verified that, but I thought it was interesting.
>These people look out at a world filled with creators creating, look at the considerable benefits they accrue (in money, yes, but more importantly in status)...

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha...anyone looking at creative culture as a path to wealth and status is missing like 99.9% of the picture. It's like looking at lottery winners and deciding that buying lottery tickets is the path to riches. The vast majority of creatives, even serious artists who spend a great deal of time and effort in their craft, don't even make enough money to subsist on their art alone.

>Of course, the rewards are far more humble today than in the heyday of magazine and newspaper writing; it’s totally common for people who write for “content” sites to earn $60,000 a year while paying New York prices.

If by "common", you mean people who work for the top 0.1% of content sites, then maybe. The vast majority of people who write content for the internet can't make an actual living at it anywhere, let alone Manhattan. They do it as a side gig.

I don't think the rage of the creative underclass is down to jealousy of other creatives who make more money, but rather that they feel exploited, that their work is making more money for others than it is for themselves. And now comes AI to automate their work entirely, completing a race to the bottom that has been in progress for decades.

> Even though Walgreens is a national retailer, non-thieving locations should not be made to subsidize the thieving locations.

This is all part and parcel of society, of corporations, of any multi-site organisation. Each node has its own advantages and disadvantages. High "shrinkage" sites often have high sales and a corporation that sticks to "small town Illinois" is never going to be able to offer the economies of scale of Walgreens.
> how would you go about measuring that?

Death and injury frequencies. Anecdotes of preventable deaths, e.g. where one stairwell was not enough versus where a corridor separating two stairwells became, itself, an obstacle. Drill simulations.

We should have have some basis for the rule. (If we don't, I'd support scrapping it.)
Hey Danbruc,

Interestingly, DNA computation can behave like a non-deterministic Turing machine. [0] However, as you mention, there is a clear trade-off between resources and time complexity. In this instance, the amount of DNA needed to solve an NP-Complete problem with a large input, e.g. n = 256, would require more atoms than there are in the observable universe given that the amount of DNA needed grows at a rate of 2^n.

How is Jaynes (2003) related to ML? I guess in the same way probability theory is related to ML: it underpins just about every meaningful step forward in ML/AI research, as I see it.
I don't know how codon does this. But I always supposed that existing optimized pythons like pypy map integer operations to native types and promote them to arbitrary precision when they encounter overflow. It's IMO a similar problem to "but what if someone decided to overwrite Int.__add__ with some other function?" - arguably these are weird/bad things to do but AFAIK permitted by the language semantics. So to fix problems like these you just make it work for the paranoid case and implement optimizations that rely on that not being common. When the weird behavior is detected you fall back to the slower path.

If you want to know why the bar is so low:

Firstly, it's incredibly difficult to track funding for entities like these, so when someone like the NATO chief isn't citing sources, it's probably because the sources aren't for the public to know.

Second, this is something that Russia has done dozens of times. It should be shocking to you if they aren't funding this sort of narrative in the countries they want to be dependent on them.
Why would Russia promote anti-nuclear disinformation? The Russian state-owned entity Rosatom is a major exporter of nuclear technology, so doing that would be against Russia's interests.
