It doesn't just show ads based on current search terms. It uses your install and usage history to show personalized ads. https://www.macrumors.com/2022/10/22/apple-announces-more-ap...

The difference between Android and iOS is that with Android, you don't have to use spying services from Google or Apple. With iOS, you are required to use spying services from Apple.

> Google literally spies on everyone's credit/debit card transaction data now, so they can spy on your offline life as much as they already do online.

Google gets your purchase history whether you use Android or iOS. iOS is strictly worse for privacy.
Europe also has much higher infidelity rates, with France reporting over 37% of women (using women as an example since the data came up more easily) having had affairs compared to 13% in the usa.
> come up with the cleanest, easiest-for-humans syntax as possible, and tell browser vendors to fix their damn engines

W3C has zero leverage over the browser vendors. If they tried to do this the end result would be the same thing that happened to XHTML: the browser vendors would tell them to pound sand and announce that the de facto CSS standard would now be maintained by the WHATWG.
If mapFunc reads state it also writes, you should be thinking about async. If it doesn't, the problem isn't all that interesting. Though I did admit in the parent comment that Go's approach is reasonable.

It should be noted that similar code is possible in JS with WebWorkers. Async/Await is more for same-thread concurrency.

And conversely, sometimes there's a road closure, and Google decides "w00t there's no traffic there at all, I'll send everyone down there!". Seemingly completely oblivious to the fact that, if there's zero cars traveling down a major arterial at peak hour, then that road would obviously be closed.
Congrats, that sounds like great news!

well they are air to air missiles and are more designed to hit an airplane with a giant engine (that gives a nice bright ir signature) and <30k ft rather than a cold object at 80k ft. if I had to guess it's probably just a software bug.
I do not disagree with you, but that's exactly what the author of the blog post emphasizes: focusing on the "risk -> money" is an example of missing the forest for the trees. It's not the company raison d'être (unless you're talking about an insurance), you're just summarizing how a company operates under a very specific lens, the same way you could describe a company as something converting paycheks into human labor. A company makes products satisfying customers: that is its core purpose. Focusing on the process instead of the product is exactly why mega-corporations fail, which was the main point of the blog post.

Red light therapy (or real sunlight exposure) has been considered hoax science until very recently. Even now most people are not aware of the new papers coming out that show a significant effect.

My prediction is that you will soon see a lot more infrared spectrum lighting. We will think it crazy to not include that part of the spectrum it in hospitals and nursing homes.

I love my Synology and love that they are going AMD. While some argue that having video transcoding on a NAS is wrong, it’s also very handy, but the AMD options I’ve seen aren’t a patch on quicksync.

That tech is unbelievably good and might be the only bit of Intel I like.
Bullets (20 mm cannon shells) could work to an extent. But they are short ranged and require the fighter aircraft to get close to the target at a high closure rate. This creates some risk of a mid-air collision. Using guided missiles is much safer.

That's because the answer is 'no', unless there's an underlying reason to expect that the expectation price of wheat will be less in the future. The only impact to profits is the actual transaction cost of the wheat futures, which is de minimis.

Google doesn't disincentivize any of that, they just don't encourage it. Google has mechanisms for rewarding people for doing extraordinary work: peer bonuses, spot bonuses. People who make outsized contributions are compensated, and people who consistently contribute more than others are promoted. But systems that require heroic efforts to continue functioning are fundamentally broken and unsustainable, and need to be made easier to maintain.

You can just barely story point, Gantt chart, and JIRA ticket your way through routine CRUD development. I don’t think too much innovation is happening that way. Innovation in my experience comes from “off the books” deep dives by individuals, pairs, and occasionally groups as big as 3-5. It comes from going into territory that is not well defined, doesn’t have predictable timelines, and is otherwise anathema to formal BigCo project management and communication structures.
Show HN: I am selling my side project Secondfounder
Hi HN,

I am selling my product https://secondfounder.com. It is a platform where you can buy/sell your side projects. Existing products/platforms are easy to use and try to provide most of the information needed to acquire a project, but my vision is to make things easier:

→ I added kanban style boards and divided each project by their MRR
→ You can connect with founders who are interested in the same project and buy it together
→ Be the first one to know about new side projects through our notification feature
→ List yourself as a founder so that people can know about you and about your background, this will help in more meaningful collaboration.

It has a few paying customers, I am not working on this project so I want to sell it.
You can reach me at heyarviind@gmail.com

The claim was that school teacher salaries were low "Because of targeted propaganda and attacks by an organized political group that holds, as an ideology, that public institutions should not exist and everything should be done by the private sector.
reply".

Since private schools are not subject to these attacks, their salaries would not be lowered by these attacks, making them relatively higher.
It's like a format war. Better format won't help to make competitor to adopt rival's format. Europe and US automotive industry adopt CCS, then the war is ended on western world. I'm curious what's going on developing world where Chinese EV is expected to sold well.

> If you actually believe that a residential REIT is zero-risk and a casino is high-risk but they have the same ROIC, you should buy REITs and short casinos and you can make a big profit. That illustrates why there's probably a flaw in your understanding (though not necessarily! you might be able to make a big profit!). The market should have the same logic, and if this is actually true, REITs will be bid up and casinos bid down until the ROIC on casinos is higher than on REITs, appropriately compensating investors.

No, the return on an investment security (in this case, a share of publicly traded stock) is different from the return on a dollar actually invested in the underlying business (i.e., ROIC). This has a lot to do with the price action that you outline.

The rest of your comment deals with why these are bad toy examples, which is fine but not really all that interesting in context.
I would gladly refrigerate it if it meant I could still use it. I've never had another acid reducer that works as well for me as Zantac.

You're welcome to your opinion, of course. Volvo has an excellent reputation. BMW not so much regardless of how they are constructed, Chrysler (at least the ones that I've had when I was in Canada) never impressed me from a technological point of view and it was in the shop quite frequently. And MB fields cars year-after-year that clock up 300K+ to the point that it isn't even something exceptional and as a rule with the original engine.

As for repair and maintenance: that's a nice bit of circular reasoning, the reason those parts can still be bought new is because there is still demand for them: the cars are still running.

When you start looking for cars that are 15 years and older (which is my bracket in NL) there really are only two brands that stand out: Volvo and MB. The rest are lucky accidents and this is reflected in the state of the rest of the cars as well. But as a rule car engines will fail well before the body does and with MB (and Volvo) it tends to be the other way around.
It's only poetic justice that they happen to also be the most worthless thing transactable.

I've always attributed that to the full Roman empire, though it probably was both, as I was under the impression Basileus was more commonly used when speaking Greek like the Byzantines did.

I think this comes from my modern perspective, where I think "nobody considers the Byzantines 'Roman' though that's what they called themselves." Of course that wouldn't be true in 1000 AD.
I'd have to dig about but I do recall there were changes to the fine print that added guard rails to the GG's powers to independantly do such things.

Eg: Most recently the GG "sanctified" | "blessed" | "made official" the extra and additional ministerial roles taken on by the former Prime Minister (Scotty from Marketing) but that wasn't (IIRC) an independent action by the GG, just an official Head of State recognition of a decision already made by the political body.

I think that the very fine print in Australia these days is that even if the GG refuses to perform these official blessings they go ahead anyway, and I don't think such things can be keep secret anymore either after Scotty's bit of non transparent role expansion.

I freely confess to be a lot more on the ball about all that 15 odd years back and really not caring much these days though.
That's a glass half full perspective! How come so many fish and animals are still dying or are dead in the area?
Oddly enough, it looks both more and less featured than MS-DOS, and the PDP-11 it ran on was somewhat close to the first IBM PC in memory and CPU speed.

Some comparison points with MS-DOS 1.0:

- 8.3 filenames

- no subdirectories

- single user

- 32-bit file sizes and offsets (64k file size limit was definitely not enough by then)

- FCB-based API (not file handles), FAT12 filesystem with 32MB limit

- Hardcoded device names special-cased

- No pipes nor redirection either

- No multitasking nor TSRs

- No networking at all

- Environment variables present

- Supports dates up to 2099

- Kernel, shell, and utilities written in 100% Asm

- Live debugger (DEBUG.COM)

Consciousness is a word for something we don’t understand but all seem to experience. I don’t think aliens would find it weird that we name it and try to understand it.

They might find it weird that we think it exists after our death or beyond our physical existence. Or they might find it weird that so many of us don’t believe it exists beyond our physical existence.

Or they might not think much about it at all because they just want to eat us.

Hi guys, congrats on the launch. I wondered where can I store or observe my alerts. I was just confused since it is open-source.
I agree: even when I use preprocessors, I rarely nest “normal” selectors. The real win is nesting pseudoselectors (:hover, :focus, etc) and media queries.

I don't use CSS/JS capable browsers, so this doesn't seem feasible unless you switch your tech stacks.
I wrote flat CSS for many years and yeah it's a lot of work but also I find it becomes more difficult to parse visually.

Like when writing HTML or regular code, I find indentation helps me parse and navigate the structure very easily.

There are cases with complex components where it can become a bit complex, but it's trivial to split the tree in multiple parts to reduce the indentation.
I bet most non-FAANG programmers have indeed never worked on an application which could not be built on a single host with SQLite. And SQLite is in fact more fully featured in some ways than some client-server DBs (when will Postgres add support, even via a plugin, for primary indexes?)

I agree with you that it is important to realize where a client-server DB may be needed, but the it really almost never is.
I think in general the transaction costs associated with hedging wheat price risk are so small via futures (0.05% or less) that it proves the larger point that profits cannot possibly be due principally to assumption of risk.
> so code would have to find a way to switch modes it runs in as it is shuffled between core

It's even worse than that. Initially you could disable E-cores in BIOS to get the system to report AVX-512 being available, but Intel released a microcode update to remove this workaround[0]. Intel also stated that they started fusing off the AVX-512 in silicon on later production Alder Lake chips[1]. Also compare the Ark entries for the Rocket Lake[2], Alder Lake[3], and Raptor Lake[4] flagships. Only the 11900k lists AVX-512 as an available Instruction Set Extension. So it's reasonable to say that AVX-512 on consumer Intel lines is dead for now, whereas AMD has just introduced it in the Ryzen 7000 series.

Yes to me LLMs and the transformer have stumbled on a key aspect for how we learn and “autocomplete.”

We found an architecture for learning that works really well in a very niche use-case. The brain also has specialization so I think we could argue that somewhere in our brain is a transformer.

However, ChatGPT is slightly cheating because it is using logic and reasoning from us. We are training the model to know what we think are good responses. Our reasoning is necessary for the LLM to function properly.
Yeah, I love how they're accommodating different people's preferences. This makes me feel a lot less concerned about the new UI already. I have zero complaints at this point, and am nothing but impressed. I'm looking forward to seeing the other changes.

I'm surely missing something in the paper, but I'm having a hard time seeing how the fact that black holes gain mass in a way that is seemingly coupled with the rate of expansion of the universe mean that it's driving the expansion - couldn't the universe just be expanding, giving the black holes the energy they would need to get this large?

Super interesting papers!
The core argument is that the state law is nullified because it goes against the spirit (though not the letter) of the federal law.

Feels like that introduces more unintended consequences than if they'd just left it up to Congress to patch the loophole the state found.

It's fractal in a way: federal law enjoys unequal power over state law, so why would they see an issue with that same imbalance at smaller scales?
AVX-512 has masks and a lot of new instructions. It's not just wider.
I imagine it’s just the capacity of the street - for a 0.1 mile stretch of a 1-lane road, assuming 15 feet per car (including follow distance), 35 Google maps clients is effectively a full street. If they all have destinations programmed, and are not moving, chances are something is blocking the road.
for me, yes, 1+1 = 2 is platonic. I start going all formalist when thinking about the continuum hypothesis [0]. The more I try to understand what's going on with the number and size of infinities, the more it seems that they're no longer something platonic, just something that drops out of a rule engine operating on a weird formal system.

Disclaimer: not a mathematician so it might be obvious to others that these things exist in platonic space.

Tell HN: Google Ads Reactivates my Account after 4 Years
About 4 years ago I created a Google Ads account for a side project. It wasn't long before my account was suspended for circumventing policies. I read the vague policies, read posts from people with similar experiences, yet I couldn't for the life of me understand what I did wrong. I certainly was not doing anything egregious.

I submitted several appeals to the Ads team, each attempting to justify possible violations, but I could only guess at what the violation was. Maybe I opened multiple accounts and didn't realize. Maybe I accessed the ads platform from a VPN. The appeals were unsuccessful and eventually I gave up. Now 4 years later, out of the blue, I have received an email stating that my account has been reactivated.

I remember extreme frustration, not only at their awful treatment of a would be customer, but at the lack of alternatives. There is no substitute for Google when it comes to paid search. And there was no path to recourse. They weren't even phased by lost revenue from cases like mine, which I figured had to be immaterial in aggregate.

I hope the account reinstatement signifies the beginning of the end for Google's near total dominance in search. Competition is long overdue. With all the attention Bing has been receiving, I assume an increasing proportion of paid search budgets are shifting to Bing Ads. In response to lost revenue, it would seem Google Ads is finally ready to accept my money, though I won't be so fast to hand over a dime. I've managed to operate without them all these years.
Dedicated hardware for common algorithms is actually not very far fetched. In addition to GPUs, we already have examples of HSMs [1] and TPUs [2] that optimize for specific cryptographic and machine learning operations.

I am supportive of this. Ofc, parent selector would still be nice, but I understand the problems solving that performantly.

As a highlight, Nested CSS doesn't support nested selectors if they both begin with letters, so the "&" is used as divider.

I highly recommend web-dev's check out the last section of the article*: https://webkit.org/blog/13813/try-css-nesting-today-in-safar...

[*: even though, IMO, in this instance it seems like a hack; nesting CSS styles, while the HTML is nested in the opposite direction seems pretty counterintuitive. but having the tool in your toolbox could be useful for other things.]

Maybe because it became part of the jargon and served a useful purpose --- if you mention creat, it's certain you're talking about the system call and not creation in general.

Personally, I like names which are close enough to an existing concept to be evocative of the meaning, but also distinct enough that, just like "byte" vs "bite" and "nybble" vs "nibble", a (non-stupid) search engine can give relevant results.
