No surprise some of the largest producers are trying to find ways to increase profits by blending beans that are cheaper and don't taste as good.

This is really weird. Almost no one push GNOME tablet or 2 in 1 style laptop like Surface. Red hat is a big sponsor for GNOME but they also not seems to pushing tablets. Windows 8 and successor was somewhat reasonable shift because MS has been pushed tablets.
I have the same issue lol. Tried to follow someone and it won’t let me.
Using shorter virtual addresses make for a simpler page table and translation lookaside buffer (TLB) design.

Intel processors support up to 57 bit virtual addresses (128 PB), in a 5-level page table. The trade-off to increased size is an increase in worst case latency reading a virtual address.
Just learned this week that an extended family member is trans. Not a single sign of gender dysphoria throughout her entire 21 years of life. 6 months of university and surgery is pending.

The social contagion is so plain to see but I guess talking about it is a taboo.
Hm? More flexible?

Besides dynamic range, that’s a real stretch to say color negative film is more flexible. That sort of film arguably does a better job of preserving highlights, but I don’t see a plausible argument for any other aspect being better. Just getting the white balance right alone…

Which, as much as I love Islay scotch, is an ecological disaster
I agree: the human (or any organic) brain is no more "logical" than any other numerical system. We obscure this fact (mostly) successfully by virtue of the statistical regularities with which we are imprinted as a result of our experiences. This gives the appearance of logical rigor, but this rigor is only illusory.
They use the bing index at least
I’ve had so many migraines in my life and months wasted in pain that “boring” is absolutely marvelous.
Which products contain the correct strain (Bacillus subtilis ATCC122264)?
Look at the people talking about how they're finding the weekly release schedule for HBO and AppleTV is a welcome relief from binging, which everyone loved when Netflix started doing it. But a weekly release schedule was largely an artefact of the limitations of broadcast TV.
> how is the information processing similar?

The representational capacities are of course not the same -- the same "thoughts" cannot be expressed in both systems. But the concept of "processing over abstract representations enacted in physical dynamics within cognitive systems" is shared between all systems of this kind.

I am referring to "information processing" at the physical level, i.e., "'useful' work per energy quantum as communicated through noisy channels".

> What do you mean are running the same instructions?

The underlying physical principles of such information processing are equivalent regardless of physical implementation.

> plants exhibit learned behaviors

A good example of what I mean. The architecture is different, but the underlying dynamics is the same.

There is a convincing (to me) theory of the origins of life[1][2] that states that thermodynamics -- and, by extension, information theory -- is the appropriate level of abstraction for understanding what distinguishes living processes from inanimate ones. The theory posits that a system, well-defined by some (possibly arbitrary) boundaries, "learns" (develops channels through which "patterns" can be "recognized" and possibly interacted with) as an inevitable result of physics. Put another way, a learning system is one that represents its experiences through the cumulative wearing-in over time of channels of energy flows.

What concepts the system can possibly represent depends on in what ways the system can wear while maintaining its essential functions. What specifically the system learns is the set of concepts which collectively best communicate (physically, i.e., from the "inputs" through the "processing" functions and to the "outputs") the historical set of its experiences of its environment and of itself.

I want to note that this discussion has nothing to say on perception, only sensation and reaction: in other words, it is an exclusively materialist analysis.

Optimization theory describes its notion of learning roughly as such (considering "loss" as energy potentials), but with the same language we could also describe a human brain, or a black hole's accretion disk, or an ant colony dug deep into clay.

Miss the Windows 7 days.

Windows 11 is another attempt to fool the less tech-savvy crowd and get them to buy new computers through planned obsolescence and fool the users into sharing all their data through force.

Windows does not represent a software that respects the user anymore. Windows represents a tech dystopia where you own nothing and you can do nothing about it.

Even without Canvas HTML with SVG is great - you have lots of easy to add effects and built-in IO events. There is now a Web Animations API which is also easy and pleasant to use.
Everyone should have equal rights, if not under the law, then under God.

Discrimination is discrimination. Its simply not allowed.

Yet if all roads lead to an accurate picture of reality, and reality is not equitable,

How is any investigation ever to be opened?

A neighbor is suspicious and watches an immigrant family like a hawk and reports things to bylaw and police? It's discriminatory in nature, yet legal because a human observed a predicate.

I think that is what we have to keep in the future. A human must witness the predicate for an investigation. Even that is flawed. But AI is on a whole other level.
Great app. It just works and works well. I need to donate again.

Only two minor complaints are there’s no “On this day” function, and the instructions to view full resolution photos are a bit confusing. Otherwise i like it better than anything else.
Good for him. He seems to be a very thoughtful person that would let the world know if things got out of control.
For a man a single pod (16kg) is a little on the light side unless you are doing lots of reps -I like to keep my kb workout at 100rep, it's quick and an easy number to remember. For swings I,like to use the 2 pod KB and then the 1.25/1.5's for snatches and cleans. You can also use the 2pod for farmers walks and TGUs. This assumes you have multiple KBs if not the 1pod is your best bet to start with and you'll know when it's time for heavier weights.
Interesting, but "While it was never clear why Russia would seek to destroy its own lucrative pipeline..." is not true. There was/is a very good rationale for why Putin (not "Russia") would seek to destroy the pipeline. It wasn't bringing in any money, but it could (a lot) if Russia gave in to Western demands to pull out of Ukraine. There are persistent rumors that Medvedev and other high-ranking Russian officials were upset at the loss of western money, and Putin might have simply wanted to burn his bridges, for the same reason Vikings were said to have burned their bridges: to put out of your side's minds the option of retreat. With no NordStream, there was less temptation to try to get the West's business back (and at the point it was blown up, neither NordStream was actually bringing in much money anyway due to sanctions).

Now this doesn't mean Putin actually ordered it. But it's not true to say that there was no plausible reason w he would.
Because pull requests aren't the only reason you might do a community-driven open source project. Perhaps you're just altruistic, or want to populatize some technology etc.
Came here to ask the same question, thank you!
It sounds like you have replaced a moral framework with a legal one. But the question of censorship is fundamentally a question of morality. It matters not how legal or illegal specific actions are in this discussion, so the legal means of enforcement that you rely on for your argument are a red herring.
I think the team is working on that feature.
> A neuron has dozens of neurotransmitters, while artificial neurons produce 1 output. I don't know much about neurology, but how is the information processing similar? What do you mean are running the same instructions?

ANNs are general function approximations. You can get the same behaviour from a complex network of simple neurons that you get from a single more complex neuron.

I swear to god, this website is so infuriating.

If you would like to learn more about this topic you can look at Steve Yedlin’s discussion of the matter https://www.yedlin.net/index.html or look at some of the technical documents linked from our website.
To put a name to this organization, it is called the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).

It is widely understood to be a propaganda arm of the US, developing media presences in countries where the US wishes to increase its power by manipulating narratives around contentious political topics. "Radio Free Europe/Asia/etc." is a common offering of theirs, typically skeptical or outright critical of regimes the US wishes to weaken in those regions through civil unrest.
I’m fine with that, because I’m responsible as part of the majority. The majority don’t care about any of this. There are far greater issues facing real people, and getting lathered up into a froth over something that has no material impact on the day to day lives of most people is not a productive use of time.

Any doom-mongering about a hypothetical future in which The Government is doing Bad Things because they know what you’re doing with your money is, well, ignoring the thousands of bad things that we don’t need to theorise about because they’re happening at this very moment.

For example, our government has starved our national health service over the last decade and there are very real threats to its long term survival: I care orders of magnitude more about that than I care about the hypothetical world in which the government make money expire or deduct from my social score because I exceeded my quota of beans at the grocery store this week.

It doesn't sound that deep nor that well reasoned of an opinion. For that reason, I won't try your software nor will I recommend it to anyone.
Ask HN: How do you secure your personal computer?
My windows laptop is compromised. I am looking for best ways to secure it, including getting rid of windows and installing Linux, if that is the way to go.

Any advice is welcome
It gets harder every year. Twenty years ago you would've said cabin in the woods, but now you have to be a licensed electrician/general contractor/plumber to build a cabin, and the woods aren't zoned for residential. They'll be coming for the people in vans next.
I want to raise my children in a very rural place where they can run and play outside in the woods. Where they and other kids don't care about phones, social media, etc.

Sounds like a pipe dream, but for the sake of my kids, I'm going to try to find this place that's right for us.

Until then, we've created a microcosm of it by implementing a strict no screen policy. It hasn't been that hard to implement so far because our child is only three and it's been great but we realize it get will harder as they get older, thus the plans to move to the aforementioned place.

To me, social media has so much downside compared to its upsides, trying my best to help my family escape it makes sense to me.
It doesn't really matter when you pick. Every era of "Modern C++" has enough unsafety to judge it a failure unless unsafety was the goal.

Take std::span which didn't even exist until C++ 20. Surely that's a modern feature and is safe by design right? Who would add a feature to a language they wanted to be safer five years after Rust and yet make it unsafe by default and even remove safer options "for compatibility" ? Ah yes, WG21.
One of the new business models enabled by AI in the next decade would work by installing a plug-in into your browser that lets ChatGPT insert organic advertisements into your post when it detects the opportunity, and you get paid depending on what the advertisers have bid and the site you are posting on.
I watched a review and the first thing they mentioned was how much they enjoyed the UI compared to other devices.
I guess you got me? You pointed out comments that came from one particular issue/ thread. That’s not a ‘rather long’ history. And as I said in those comments it had nothing to do with Elon. That was doxxing, plain and simple. And my mind hasn’t changed on that. Doesn’t matter If it’s Elon, Taylor Swift, or my next door neighbor. It’s wrong. Mind you, a high profile celebrity’s convoy got attacked right after all that happened, supposedly because they thought they were getting Elon. My point is just move on with your lives. It’s just recreational outrage at this point.
> the closest I got was yes you van have the second screen but everything happens with on it with 5 second lag and at 1 FPS

Used to happen on my nvidia laptop, you can try filing a complaint. One possible solution is to set the GPU to performance mode in Nvidia XServer settings.
In the first few hours after publication, that would be a reasonable question. But since it's been a full day, and Seymour Hersh hasn't stepped in to say "Hey, that's not me", at this point it's quite reasonable to believe that he wrote it. It seems unlikely that the piece generated a full Whitehouse response but somehow Seymour, his agent, his publisher, or any of his close friends haven't yet issued a denial of authorship. Not impossible, but not the way I'd bet.
I'd say you're asking this at just the right time, because Better Ideas just posted a video[1] about this exact topic. His advice isn't revolutionary, but it's actionable, and I generally really enjoy what he has to say. I hope you'll find it helpful too!

Still, with VM enabled (the 68851 PMMU was only available some time after the 68020 came out and an expensive addition, only the 68030 included an on-chip MMU as you probably know - so Apple was unable to use it in the Mac II initially) all 256 possible aliases for software storing arbitrary data in the 8 MSB would have to be mapped in the worst case. This would certainly be possible, but depending on the application might imply quite some overhead due to the limited number of TLB entries available.

Of course, on 68k Macs also the OS parts stored in ROM were not 32 bit "clean". MODE32, a tool developed by Connectix, patched the ROMs (traditional MacOS stores entry points for system functions in RAM which can be modified) to get rid of 24 bit addressing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MODE32).

What would be nice, of course, is to use the ARMv8-a top byte ignore feature to implement tagged data types for Lisp and Smalltalk implementations... [and I should read the whole article since this is a large part of it... oops]

I love Trung Nguyen coffee, a Vietnamese Coffee that's a mixture of Robusta and Arabica. It has a natural chocolate like flavor that's delicious. It used to be very inexpensive but it has more than double in price over the last few years. I suspect it's popularity has picked up and the importers have increased the price accordingly.

The bitterness is not as bad as people may think. I'm one that does not mind it.

I recommend it 100%.

I remember people started probing pretty quickly, too, which was a good warning that you couldn’t be complacent about things like that. If memory serves, we’d upgraded most of our servers to only support SSH-2 before this happened and since that included our public shell servers (.edu) nobody broke in to anything but we did have to badger some proprietary vendors for updates to devices which were fortunately on our restricted internal-only network.
Don't you know? You should work for free and give it away for free and if it doesn't work the way I want you should fix it for free. But also I have a job at a company that sells software that also pays me and you should pay them for it, or at least visit the site so they can sell ads.
Ask HN: What are your favorite tools for generating simple documentation?
I need to write some pretty simple documentation, just a general overview of a code base's structure, installation requirements, and usage. I'm leaning toward just putting everything in a README markdown file, but I might want to expand it a bit more eventually, and it would also be nice to have a static HTML file I could hand over to a team which may not have a markdown reader.

I've been looking at different documentation generators, and getting a little overwhelmed by all the options. Maybe I just need a markdown-to-html converter? What is your favorite way to write simple documentation?

I would argue the state of search engine(i.e. google) is worse than ChatGPT. Half of the time top of the search gives me non-answers like "it depends". I have to use `stackoverflow` `reddit` or incognito mode to force google at least give me something tangible, and I don't see google going to change in short term considering for them, me going through all 3 pages of search is engagement and ad revenue.

ChatGPT might not be ideal, but they are way better than current offering.

> I'm old enough to have seen a lot of young happy couples turn into divorced bitter singles and I can't speak to the average experience but in my circle, the women end up screwed. They've got the kids, ( the ex wanted nothing to do with the kids ) they've got no income ( the ex either has no money or is fighting tooth and nail to avoid sending any money ) and they are living off of parents, friends, and social services trying to find some job they can do part time ( no daycare ) that has a hope of supporting them.

Are they better or worse than the lonely 40+ women who have careers and money but no hope of a partner or family?

There's really very little need to go to the gym period, you can put together a nice little home gym for a few hundred dollars and craigslist. Personally I like the gym but it's not always convenient so I have a pretty decent home gym that I've put together over the years. The best exercise is a 1h walk 3-4 times a week....in the summer I'll move some of the home gym out into the yard, my wife gets grumpy but working out in the sunshine is pretty great.
