Considering whole image detection subject stemmed from a homework which can be done in a summer break at most, the optimism of the post makes me chuckle.

I guess this will require at least one big breakthrough to realize, but this is again an overly optimistic take on the issue.
"This bill will likely never become law."

Don't bet on it. From my observation I no longer believe the British public have sufficient gumption to oppose such laws.
The examples in the README are really not the best.

Anyway, given from the examples for me this reads as a language to write hacky onliners of code which are probably easy to write once but hard to read anytime after. One moment... we had such a language in the past: Perl! :-D

Perl5 onliners were infamous for their expressive power but sometimes crazy to understand even if you thought you were fluent in perl ;-)

New Research: Blood Pressure Highly Likely to Cause Neurotic Personality Trait
"Ultimately economic nihilism itself is a subset and derives from moral nihilism, discounting the notion that society is held together by moral values and unspoken contracts."

Is this what moral nihilism says? I was under the impression that moral nihilism states that there are no objective or inherent moral values and rules which doesn't imply that society might need agreement on a subset of (made up) moral values to function.
How to Automatically Create Videos Using Zapier
Backpropagation was popularised and named in 1986 (though it was likely a rediscovery, with prior art going back to the 60's), so neural nets got a new wave of interest around then coinciding with home computers fast enough to at least achieve mildly interesting results.
Recursive descent parsers have trouble with left-associative operators if you only allow recursion. But if you allow iteration, you can build up the parse tree while iterating through terms at the same precedence level. For example, this defines + and - as left-associative at the same precedence level:

// EBNF is SUM = PRODUCT , { ("+" | "-") , PRODUCT }
AstNode *parseSum()
{
if (auto lhs = parseProduct()) {
while (1) {
if (consume(T_PLUS)) {
if (auto rhs = parseProduct()) { // You'd call parseSum instead to get right associativity
lhs = mkAst(A_add, lhs, rhs); // Instead, left associativity happens here
}
else {
return nullptr;
}
}
else if (consume(T_MINUS)) {
if (auto rhs = parseProduct()) {
lhs = mkAst(A_sub, lhs, rhs);
}
else {
return nullptr;
}
}
else {
return lhs;
}
}
}
else {
return nullptr;
}
}

As a bonus, it doesn't blow out your stack when parsing long expressions.

Very few binary operators should be right-associative. Basically just ?: and = .
> [...] it’s certainly possible that the NSA did the surveillance and passed the information to the FBI.

We already know that the FBI passes information to local law enforcement agencies and tell them to do parallel construction when the information was obtained illegally, so why not the NSA too? It's probably easy to deanonymize Tor traffic when you see everyone's Internet traffic (they don't even need to setup exit nodes).
As stupid as it may sound, "csv" has become a generic term for any single-character delimited line-based file. We deal regularly with a "csv" that uses the pipe character instead of commas, for example.

CEOWatcher: The CEOs that buy their company's stock before it pops
There has been a handful of research done showing that insider trades significantly outperform the market, so we built a tool that tracks the trades of individual public company CEOs and calculates their historic returns to know which CEOs tend to buy their own stock before the price goes up.

The results definitely look promising. The median 1-year return (price of stock 1 year after purchase / price of stock at purchase) for the top 100 CEOs is 49.3% and the median success rate is 71%.

Below is a Google Sheet with all the data for the top 100 CEOs. Feel free to copy it.

For a while we ran out of useful stuff to do with more RAM. We tried to fill the gap with micro-service development but the pain/ego ratio is not as good as having one big app chunking up the whole place. I assume the new AI stuff will pick up the slack and we'll soon have much more RAM hooked up to our NPUs than to our CPUs.
No, it isn't. That's not what he was charged for, it's just one piece of evidence in the case:

> “From Mr. Al-Azhari’s attempt to acquire firearms through unlawful channels to his desire to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, it was clear Mr. Al-Azhari’s intention was to carry out an act of violence,”

> According to the complaint, Al-Azhari was an ISIS supporter who planned and attempted to carry out an attack on behalf of that terrorist organization. Al-Azhari, who has a criminal history that includes prior terrorism charges in Saudi Arabia, attempted to purchase multiple firearms over the course of the investigation, before acquiring a Glock pistol and a silencer. He also expressed admiration for Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen and spoke of his desire to carry out a similar mass casualty shooting. Additionally, Al-Azhari researched and scouted potential targets in the Tampa area, including Honeymoon Island. He also rehearsed portions of an attack and the statements that he would make during or in connection with such an attack.
"Will you spend 40 hours a week on job search and leetcoding?" sounds like Stockholm syndrome. Being laid off can be an opportunity. ;). When else do you get paid to not go to work? ;). Surely everyone has things they'd like to do if they weren't always at work? Being laid off is a time to do that. When I was young it meant lots of time in the mountains. When older, it meant jobs like finally sorting the garage out that was full of baby-related cr*p, and playing with the kids more. 40 has a week on job search.... ouch. Take a few weeks off. Have fun. Then start firing off a few applications a day. Someone will bite for sure. (Caveat - this works for people in tech , earning a half decent wage, who are also frugal. Probably wouldn't work if you worked for minumum wage, that could be stressful and horrible)

I think this was an interesting thought experiment but I actually think it is subtly off-base.

The Next Button would be just a little bit off too often to be useful. But I definitely think a bot will be able to take direct input along the lines of “open gmail and draft all responses” and then execute that.

It’s like self-driving. The bot either needs to be capable of doing everything or it will still need significant direction along the way.

This is not to quibble with the author - I think the future will be weird, but I don’t think we will be able to release a bot to choose its own adventure for quite some time.

I’m not sure what recycled water was meant in the article? Does he mean grey water? Apparently that is used only a little bit in London and in specific places, not in households unless a system has been installed.

I guess if he wanted to avoid recycled water he could collect and purify water from animal aerobic respiration or hydrocarbon combustion. Even then the oxygen and hydrogen could have been used before.
I have a point to make, that I'm not totally convinced I believe in myself. Take this as a devil's advocate argument.

Nick Cave - correctly so - says that you can't write if you haven't experienced something to write about and you need to have an inner self that experiences things to do that in the first place.

But AI being trained on a vast amount of human writing, writing that was the consequence of the life experience of millions of selves, could be considered - if not a 'self' - as having experienced all the digested human experiences.

The mockery - the pastiche effect - is the result of asking ChatGPT to write something in the style of 'Nick Cave'. I bet it would read the same if you asked anyone to write something 'in the style of...'.

I don't honestly know.
Note that "unsafe" in this context refers to memory safety. I am not making the claim that Go code which does not import unsafe or C is free of bugs; however, if you don't import unsafe or C anywhere in your application or dependencies (sans the stdlib) then it is memory safe (assuming no compiler or OS bugs compromise that guarantee.) That's just how Go is specified.

The unsafe package in Go provides unsafe.Pointer, which allows you to convert between a pointer and integral type, essentially allowing you to make pointers of any type to any address, giving up type safety. Without it, Go pointers are safe, because the GC will never free memory that has live pointers, and you can't do math on Go pointers.

>To address your specific scenario, no, you don't need to let them in. You are hosting your own small event at a library that doesn't require purchasing tickets, you can boot whoever you want however you want. Esp since the event is for children, I would have no qualms about any adult (who isn't a parent of one of the children attending the event or one of the organizers) just being blanket-denied entry. I.e., using an allow-list instead of a deny-list.

And if it's a Drag Reading Hour Gala at the MSG, tickets required for entry and sold online? Or, I don't know, it's an LGBT-themed music festival, with tickets sold openly online. Must I allow homophobes to disrupt a set before kicking them out, or can I kick them out purely on the basis of being members of the LGBT Concert Disrupters group on Facebook?
It also has API routes and Middleware. But yeah, Laravel includes more by default. With Next.js, you need to pick a few more tools to go along with your stack. E.g. Next.js, NextAuth, Prisma, SQL database. You end up in a similar place, it's just not all part of the same package. That may or may not be beneficial for your team.

Yeah, AI is a perennial topic and neural nets are an old school approach. When I was in school (not really that long ago) the NN textbook taught as an old fashioned approach that never produced good results, and the professor (from the EE department) would occasionally remark that we are seeing a resurgence of this technique and you never know, it could become popular again. I think at that point it already producing impressive results, but none of us were fully aware of where it was going.

People that don't have indoor plumbing certainly can't afford new windows, but their old (handmade) windows are usually double-glazed for warmth (and the part of the house that has single-glazed windows and uninsulated walls is abandoned for the winter.

The latest Rockbox (3.15, I think) supports Opus on Sansa Clips, and I've loaded mine with transcoded Opus files. (I keep FLAC files in my archive.) I know, Opus is not FLAC, but I'm likely to be listening in noisy environments where it's impossible to tell the difference, and the vastly longer playtime is a good trade.

Modern forestry thrives where controlled burns are allowed to repeatedly impact the same forests for the benefit of those never burned. The burned forests never fully recover, and the thriving forests grow taller by comparison. Perhaps, the old ways are better, but the oral tradition that spoke of the unity of man and the imposition of serfdom as sinful has been ignored, forgotten, and derided. Hopefully, no one sets those tall trees alight out of spite.

I liked that LA Noire was "different" for the reasons you listed + things like picking out whether people were lying. RDR had some of that going on as well, and there really isn't anything like GTA.

The Body Keeps the Score mentioned some alarming statistics... I don't recall the exact figure, but MANY Americans are dealing with some amount of PTSD whether they recognize it or not, as a result of having a non-secure attachment style as an infant. It sounds kind of strange that a lifetime of strife could come from

With stocks, generally speaking if you are reading about a stock in the news, it's too late to hop on the roller-coaster and you will get left holding the bag. Most of my money is in index funds, but it still stressed me out trading a small portion with individual stocks.

Avoid ARKK/Cathie Wood. I have no idea what she's doing. She just loaded up on TSLA, as she does when one of her picks tanks, but automakers typically trade around a 4 P/E and TSLA is still well-above that at ~$120/share. TSLA will almost-certainly fall below $100 this year and perhaps even below $50 in the longer-term.
> I find COBOL to be a very interesting language, with a huge unexplored potential. For example, I'm sure that most people are not aware that COBOL has generics, method overloading, declarative error/exception handling, asynchronous messaging, etc.

But most COBOL systems are legacy systems, using a version of COBOL designed many decades ago, and without any of these features.

Starting to use the features you list will effectively be like learning a completely new language, only without any of the upsides of modernity and all of the downsides. If you are going to migrate from legacy COBOL to slightly-less-legacy-COBOL-but-at-the-same-time-all-these-frightening-new-features, you might as well migrate to a more modern platform and language.
This is great. I joked to a workmate about asking ChatGPT to write a Unity GameObject in COBOL; ChatGPT did so after some persuasion (essentially it saying "I can't write COBOL code for Unity because Unity doesn't support COBOL" followed by me saying something like "Just pretend that Unity does support COBOL and write it anyway").

I wonder if this would make COBOL GameObjects actually possible :)
In the early days (80's) it was primarily just ads and some reviews. Later they moved to mixing in some non-advertising content.
Disagree: the table inside the HTML is the "content" that comprises the entirety of the CSV. Related but absolutely not "same". (It'd be more arguable if all the HTML had was the table, but it's actually just a normal web page with a table.)
What are authoritative documentation sources for php these days? For javascript and browser apis, that would probably be mdn.io, and possibly web.dev. Any equivalents for php? php.net/manual looks like it might be it; but it contains numerous comments from years if not decades ago.

To put some numbers on "much worse" versus "not much worse":

The best window I can find from the major Danish manufacturer Velfac has a total U-value of 0.82 W/°K/m² [1]. It's a triple-glazed window with argon and coatings.

A typical insulated thin (100mm) wood-frame wall, i.e. the sort you'd use if you were building a summer house in Sweden has a U-value of 0.4 W/°K/m² [2], i.e. twice as good as the window above.

A typical rock- or glasswool insulated wood-frame wall for a modern year-round house has a U-value of 0.2 W or better, i.e. four times as good as the window above.

Wall that are so bad that they're roughly equivalent to the triple-glazed window above are something you'll mainly find in buildings from 50+ years ago, at least in Sweden. I expect Norway to be similar. [3]

'bjarneh' mentioned both triple- and quadruple-glazed windows. I've only seen quadruple used in noise-reduction applications, e.g. hotel next to a busy road. If you have a data sheet for one, it'd be interesting to see what the U-value is.

One of the posters above referred to 'R-value'. It's the reciprocal of the U-value. Wikipedia has good explanations of both, as well as typical values for windows and walls. [4,5]

References are mostly in Swedish, because the poster 'bjarneh' was talking about windows in Norway, so I wanted references for companies that actually sell things in Scandinavia.

I’m in agreement with you that it came a very long way.

Now, most of those have been present in many other languages [0], often with less limitations.

And as usual the old ways haven’t all been deprecated either, so it stays weird. For instance typed properties were a chance to reset the clock on type handling, but no, declaring a type will force cast parameters to that type instead of throwing an error (i.e. passing 0 for a string argument will convert it silently)

[0] Constructor property promotion isn’t, but TBH I’m of mixed feelings about it. We get conciseness in exchange for weirdness as the properties aren’t declared outside of the constructor, where they would be otherwise. I wished it was done the other way round.

There is a group working on this: https://www.adept.ai/act
Author here, I tried to write this article to be as non-biased as possible, though it was pretty difficult.

Most discussions and sources online compare Rust to easy targets, like C, C++, or Python, so we never get to really dive into the more interesting comparisons against stronger languages (especially GC'd ones). There are also some studies out there that try to measure Rust, but they measure the kinds of complexity that wouldn't translate to real-life coding.

I actually like Rust (it's probably my favorite mainstream language today besides Scala), and if you consider all the dimensions together, there are a lot of situations where Rust is the best choice. However, this article is about one specific dimension (developer velocity) and on that, Rust unfortunately has some drawbacks.

Also, the article does mention situations (concurrency) and aspects (encourages top-down, flattened architectures) that give Rust some advantages.

I tried to be un-biased. Perhaps it didn't quite show, also since the conclusions recommended languages other than Rust when focusing on developer velocity.
There is a good chance a real power user wouldn't notice it either.

It is like the race is on to make a really dumb, money losing business decision based on a ridiculous ChatGPT error.

It is like wanting to take the first iteration of the DARPA challenge self driving cars out on the freeway for a test drive. Good luck with that.
Show HN: A tool for motion-capturing 3D characters using a VR headset
Hi everyone! I'm one of the authors of this project. The demo you see here is powered by a tool that I recently helped develop and open-source at Shopify called handy. You can find the repo here: https://github.com/Shopify/handy

Most people don't realize that VR headsets have become really capable motion capture platforms, so we decided to release this tool to bring motion capture into the hands of everyone who owns a headset.

With a cheap Quest 2 you can capture your hands using the headset's hand-tracking feature and your head. With an expensive Quest Pro you could capture your facial expressions using the headset's eye and face-tracking features.

Thanks for checking this project out! I'm here to answer questions if you have any.
I'm sure it'll wear off one day but I'm going to live it now.
Unless I'm missing some info, I don't see anything that points at them finding all this info through Tor or the server. They identified the user AND 'also found what specific pages Al-Azhari visited'. That could've happened from his PC after they arrested him. Language like this is always ambiguous in order to give out as little information as possible while still providing some.
No because it still doesn't serve you. Some people still strived for better lives, just with much lower return on investment. And then get the fuck out to the West when you can.
They would be required to make the victim whole based upon the harm endured.
Fair enough, but unless the other guy was just being tongue-in-cheek, I took the spirit of his question to be more like "where in the world is it different from the US?"

The cost of labor has increased a lot in China and hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty. Perhaps other choices could do an even better job but certainly a far worse policies could be instituted.
Obligate ARC is slow. RC/ARC as used in Rust (ARC separately marked, only used when required for thread safety; RC in general only for objects that may need to be kept around by multiple parts of the program, with no fixed "owner"; with simple RAII used for everything else) is very fast, comparable to manual memory management.
