OTOH they are a snake eating themselves. At one point they were the webs repository for videos. Now things are built specifically for it, and its constraints. 90 second viral videos don't play well anymore. People don't show up nd upload two videos with a million hits and never post again anymore. It's screwy now. Everything is of a certain length to fit with advertising expectations. Things are all shot in the same uniform style of a talking head over enunciating things in what's probably a paid ad at the end of the day.

I guess that's what is to be expected with a platform over time. the market will optimize conditions until some peak of efficiency is reached, occasionally this will shift to another peak of perhaps even lower or higher efficiency after overcoming some activation energy or in the pretense of some catalyst (like when creators first realized the optimal video length). Its all seemingly thermodynamic in nature.

That being said, it sure gives you rose tinted glasses of those days of a dumb short and funny video of an actual unscripted happenstance, or someone teaching you how to fix something and actually pointing the camera at that something instead of their own face. It's like the stakes were lower and egos were nonexistent back then, and everything seemed a little more genuine.
Agreed. The title data scientist is probably going to go away and be replaced with more specific titles you've listed above.

IMO, the emergence of specializations is a good thing because a) it means the data field (and the tools it uses) are maturing and b) you can have a more focused career trajectory instead of feeling the pressure to learn EVERYTHING

‘Chernobyl 2.0’? Ohio Train Derailment Spurs Wild Speculation
I sort of agree with the idea, the developer calling this code may not be responsible for the mess that necessitated the call in the first place.

A name like this_code_sucks_and_these_tests_wre_order_dependent would be much more appropriate. It'd still be a name that would at least raise some eyebrows during code review so you'd have to write some kind of explanation why you're enabling this.
I thought we were talking about retail stores here, not governments.

If your threat model is governmental, then that's a whole different thing entirely. You'll have to go to true extremes to even have a chance at defending against that. For instance, you shouldn't have a cell phone at all.

The CIA narrative on the "Syria gas attacks" have been roundly debunked by the meticulous reporting of Aaron Mate (and others). The even more absurd "Skripal poisoning" incident has completely fallen apart upon only the barest scrutiny. It is sad and disturbing these these completely debunked narratives are still being touted by people as credible. Anyone (rightfully) calling for skepticism and scrutiny into Hersch's account of the pipeline bombing should, at the very least, have the same skepticism towards CIA/US government claims that are even flimsier.
It's impolitic to mention, but black Americans commit most murders in the US despite their small share of the population. Black American women are more likely to commit murder than white American men, a sex reversal unique between large racial groups in the developed world. An average black man in the US is an order of magnitude more likely to commit violent crime than a non-black man. This effect is not fully explained by socioeconomic differences.

The overwhelming majority of black Americans are not criminals. It's important not to draw the wrong conclusions here. But the small percentage of black Americans who are criminals make up a proportionally much greater share of the whole. The reasons for this are complex and controversial, but it's some opaque combination of history + discrimination + nature + nurture.
Show HN: Stackful Coroutines for C
The forum at forum.hardware.fr was for most of its main mature code parts written between 2000 and 2001. It has not upgraded revision since about 2010. It has a quite outdated but efficient look and UI even in 2023. Way better thread handling than reddit IMHO.

The guys (well almost one sole guy) started a bit before - in 2007 or so - a company (MesDiscussions.net) and sold the forum engine to the most successful french websites like the "infamous" Doctissimo, which now totals almost 300M messages since 2000. I believe it was then sold or incorporated to Doctissimo.

Let's not forget the french invented and used the Minitel well before dial up internet became widely spread. We quite like old things (no pun intended regarding the current First Lady)

It's easy for bean counters to measure the cost savings of open plan layouts (e.g. higher utilization of office space). I wonder if anyone has tried to measure the productivity loss of open plan vs private offices, which might tilt it back towards private offices.

There is no substitute for having a door to close to isolate noise, and being able to do some intensive work.

It is useful for actual language related tasks, such as paraphrasing or making the content of an email flow better. However, for anything else, it is mostly hit & miss.
Here is a question for you, what value is secure boot providing you that you cannot get from an encrypted root filesystem with a TPM and systemd-cryptsetup.

That is too say, the signed grub binary can be used to load literally anything. It can even chain load into another non-signed modified grub.

On the other hand, the crypt setup route ensures that you bios, grub, TPM, and many other measurements are correct.

Look at table one here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-cry...

One of those measurements is secure boot, but I cannot for the life me figure out what value it is adding.

I think I've been blinded as a pedestrian, in a city, by automatic bright systems.

People must think that since they're computer controlled that its fine to run them in the city, or else they just forget that they're turned on.

People are downvoting this, but it’s true. There’s a little more nuance here as well. In addition to fully tolerated public drug possession and consumption, there is also the tolerance of street camping, and the extremely low prices of meth and fentanyl on the West Coast at play here. However a person enters the drug addiction spiral, once they’re in it, it’s easier by far to stay in active addiction here. In Oregon, where I live, people can either scrounge enough cans to take to the recycling center - about 20 will do - or use their EBT card to buy bottles of water, empty them and then recycle the bottles to get the cash deposit. Either way, less than $10 will buy enough meth to stay high for days here. I assume it’s similar for fentanyl. No one will stop you from setting up your tent or RV on street, and at least in Portland you can steal bikes or cars to earn extra money. There’s a chop shop within sight of my house doing exactly that, all day every day out in the open. You can get enough food from the many homeless services organizations and tents are given out by the city. Essentially everything a person needs to completely destroy themselves with drugs is available for free or nearly free, and law enforcement stopped bothering to try to keep things under control. These conditions are fairly unique to Oregon, Washington and California, so I think the high housing price correlation is true, but also incomplete.
> they are forced to work more than a mile away from Apple’s “spaceship” headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. at a facility which, in addition to relatively ho-hum architecture, lacks free snacks.

From my experience the majority of full time employees also don't work at Apple Park and don't enjoy free snacks, so this complaint made me laugh.
I put a bunch of live environment/rescue images (trinity, UBCD, hirens, systemrescue etc) on a usb flash with ventoy, and ventoy couldn’t boot any of them except for systemrescue (seemed like it had an issue with EFI with the other ones)..

As an alternative to ventoy, can I use refind on a usb flash drive with iso images?
Not GP, but the underlying problem to me is repeat zero-sum interactions in a crony capitalism based system. All the shit stems from the winners that emerge from these repeated games making short term decisions to either allow them to exit or play again.
While Trump advocated for spending, the spending bills come from House of Representatives. Trump helped reduce expenditures by starting the withdraw process from two-decade Afghanistan quagmire. The Fed helps the government with deficit spending.
I have a meshlicious. I can fit a full ATX PSU no problem (could have more SSDs or 2.5" drives otherwise). Because it's a "sandwitch", the GPU and CPU are drawing air from opposite sides of the case. It's all mesh so airflow is great. Pretty small too. Not as small as your Ghost, but it can accommodate really large GPUs if need be. Even watercooling would be viable (I've seen some great custom loops, for the CPU even a two fan AIO would fit).

I do miss ATX because ITX boards generally do not have any expansion slots. Sure they come with Wifi, but if I decide to, say add a 2.5G(or 10G) network card, video capture or what have you, I'm out of luck.

I do not miss the case sizes. ATX are spacious, but TOO spacious, usually. Because the mainboard is large, most cases don't seem to optimize for space at all. So you fill the thing to the brim with all expansions you can think of and there's still a lot of wasted volume. Were I to go back to ATX, it would be with a non-orthodox case(open case, inside a desk, etc).
Does anyone know of short-depth ATX chassis (preferably 2U)? Short as in <13" (330mm)? I’m jealous of the ITX case here, at only 55mm over the ITX width; that should mean a <300mm ATX case should be possible, but I’ve never found anything close to that. Most everything is >14", usually 15"+, and wasted space to fit a bunch of HDDs or something.
The answer is no.

It's bad, no doubt. The question is

What are the costs of the alternatives?
Because Bellingcat is little more than a CIA information laundering mill that is staffed almost entirely by former intelligence officers and is funded by the US and British governments (among others).

Edit: For those who doubt Bellingcat is little more than a CIA mouthpiece, it is something they brag about.

>But, perhaps more importantly, it has also enabled U.S. officials and lawmakers to discuss Moscow’s skullduggery openly without revealing the sources and methods of the U.S. intelligence agencies.

I like your story a lot. Did you always live in Portugal or move there when you had enough resources?
I buy rice in 25kg sacks just like the bulk buy places do. And a bunch of other stuff from a wholesale outlet that sells larger containers.

Our local food co-ops buy most of their stuff in 20kg or bigger containers. One even managed to get a 200 litre drum of concentrated dishwashing liquid.

Warning: after some discussion with members we dilute the concentrate two parts water to one part concentrate because buyers mostly dilute it ~the same again or just "use less". When we tested the "use less" people we found they used about half... the stuff is approx 10x the concentration of normal dishwashing liquid. Use a spray bottle that you bought full of something else for dishwashing liquid. It's very convenient and you can dilute it to suit what people in your house actually do.
I wonder how many channels are out there right now that combine a deepfake and a language model? You could probably set up your "influencer" to be running a youtube, instagram, and tiktok campaign all at once, completely automatically with you raking in the passive income from the ads. Maybe run a thousand of these accounts in parallel, targeting all sorts of content. Might as well throw in a twitch and an onlyfans in there too. Maybe have it write its own kickstarter campaigns to pay dev time for you to refactor its code every now and then and add more functionality to the models.

It goes something like this:

input text -> input tokens -> input embeddings -> model -> output embeddings -> output tokens -> output text

Tokens aren't necessarily words: they can be fragments of words and you can check out this behavior here: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

For instance, "an eagle" is tokenized to [an][ eagle], but "anoxic" is tokenized to [an][oxic], so just looking for the [an] token is not sufficient. Therefore, you would need to map the output text all the way back into the model to figure out what neuron(s) in the model would generate "an" over "a". Since the bulk of GPT is all unsupervised learning, any connections it makes in its neural network is all emergent.

One interesting thing about the Jens Stoltenberg. It’s Thorvald Stoltenberg, his father who was defense minister and foreign minister after 1979 as well as was a high level official in the Norwegian state and defense department during the last years of the Vietnam conflict.

Confusion but basically father and son.
Google has supported its primary users for years - those users are the people paying them to run ads. I haven't seen or heard anything about google making it harder to pay them to display ads.
Oh boy. The fact that tests test arbitrary things should be enough for you to reconsider what you're saying. You can't possibly know if I'm "totally incorrect".

I'm not talking about sharing state between tests.

I'm talking about the code being tested having global state that is deeply entrenched in how it works, it's unreasonable to refactor, yet a test suite must be written.

What truly sucks is someone not even writing tests at all for the tangled parts which is extremely common to find because it breaks someone's precious mental model and they don't want to put their name on it.
h2 is shipped all the time, by boat, rail, road, pipeline and more. It is not hard to ship, it's easy to store and transport, this is a solved problem.

That said, obviously ... local generation is best. The same goes for oil extraction, and power production (dam or nuclear or solar or wind), local is best.

I think that your ordered tests are the setup.
I think this holds only if you opt-in to tools like WebPack, Babel, Next.js, React, and the like - or have to work in a project where someone else opted-in to these tools.

What failure in Afghanistan? The war was over in the 2000's with the US having full control of Afghanistan right? As far as nation building, it was a silly idea to begin with to help your defeated enemy rebuild but the failure there is the Afghan people's failure. Their soldiers would resist training and discipline and their politicians were consumed with bickering and infighting. They were not ready or willing to accept democratic rule or a civilian controlled military. They failed, the US merely stopped dumping money there for free.

As far as the Taliban go, no one is concerned that in their current state they will harbor al-qaeda or pose a risk to the west. Their leadership and al-qaeda in Afghanistan was eliminated. What you have now is people who believe in the Taliban's ideals beliefs who continued the old organization and it's rule over the country.

Vietnam I get calling a failure but Afghanistan is a stretch. The US was never interested in colonizing them and eradicating the Taliban entirely would require colonization and transforming their culture and ways so they can accept western ways and ideals which even if the US was willing to do, the american people don't have the stomach for the cruelty involved in such an affair.

Honestly, if Americans were cruel and craved violence does anyone doubt the taliban along with millions of civillians could be wiped out cleanly and permanently? Historically, that is what happens in war and even in current times you can see worse cruelty in war.

Is it really defeat when you pull out because you don't want to hurt your enemy even more than you already have?
I've been to Japan (+ several other countries that aren't the US). It's pretty nice there.

As to whether or not zoning laws are what prevent people from owning horses, that's not clear to me. But a law saying you can't build a bookstore or apartment on the lot doesn't seem very related.
I think that's essentially right - if it's already "thinking about" apples, then ' an' will be significantly upregulated at the expense of ' a', then if it does choose to output an ' an' token, ' apple' becomes a highly likely followup.

You could probably test this by seeing if prompts containing a lot of nouns that start with a vowel sound results in output that contains a higher proportion of otherwise unrelated first-vowel nouns. (ie your prompt includes lots of apples, apricots, avocados, asparagus, aubergines, elderberries, eggplants, endives, oranges, olives, okras, onions and you count the proportion of non-food nouns in the result that start with a vowel and non-vowel sound).
It’s fine unless you need to run a bash script.
> Weird title, needs a comma after "risky", but I guess HN removes them while sanitizing

It would be grammatically incorrect in English to put a single comma there. A correct alternative would be to put a comma there and also change "that" to ", which" - ie, reading, "Controversial experiments, which could make bird flu more risky, to resume". The entire relative clause needs to be sandwiched with commas; putting a single one at the end is incorrect.

That said, the title as it stands is grammatically correct, although it is potentially ambiguous in meaning.

Other languages have different rules about comma usage, but this is how it works in English.
I suspect it is for increased ingress protection.

> If you downsample each dimension individually you only need to process 20 pixels per pixel.

If you shrink 10x in one direction, then the other, then you first turn 100 pixels into 10, before turning 10 pixels into 1. You actually do more work for a non-smoothed shrink, sampling 110 pixels total.

To benefit from doing the dimensions separately, the width of your sample has to be bigger than the shrink factor. The best case is a blur where you're not shrinking at all, and that's where 20:1 actually happens.

If you sampled 10 pixels wide, then shrunk by a factor of 3, you'd have 100 samples per output if you do both dimensions at the same time, and 40 samples per output if you do one dimension at a time.

Two dimensions at the same time need width^2 samples

Two dimensions, one after the other, need width*(shrink_factor + 1) samples

PON cuts the number of feeder fibres by orders of magnitude. GPON is typically deployed with 1x32 PLC splitters. With XG/XGS-PON deployments with 1x64 and 1x128 splitters are feasible. If you have infinite financing, sure, more fibres are better, but in the real world there are significant cost increases with higher fibre counts that not all providers can absorb. Municipal entities can easily get 30 year amortization, which is definitely not the case for most startup ISPs in unserved markets.
Have you downloaded the extension that brings that back?
I agree with you and I think the responses you are getting aren't helpful. Sure this is technically a recall but:

Customers aren't dealing with inconvenience of having to bring their vehicle in / not having it for a while.

And Tesla is not incurring the cost of physically handling and fixing 360k cars.

So while it's technically a recall, the impact on the consumer and manufacturer is very different than what the word brings to mind.
Per the chronology:

- On January 25, 2023 [..] NHTSA advised Tesla that it had identified potential concerns related to certain
operational characteristics of FSD Beta in four specific roadway environments [..] NHTSA
requested that Tesla address these concerns by filing a recall notice.

- In the following days, NHTSA and Tesla met numerous times to discuss the Agency’s concerns and Tesla’s
proposed over-the-air (“OTA”) improvements in response.

- On February 7, 2023, while not concurring with the agency’s analysis, Tesla decided to administer a voluntary
recall out of an abundance of caution

So yes, it was voluntary in the sense of "you don't want us to force you to do it" and it was indeed the NHTSA testing.
