Thanks for posting that. The results do look good.

The examples are all short and from expository prose passages, though. Do you have any longer examples that include dialog, so the translator has to infer pronoun reference, the identities of speakers in conversations, and other narrative-dependent information? As I show in my video, that’s where ChatGPT is superior to Google Translate et al.—at least with Japanese to English.

Beats me, I dunno if it does. But if it actually has no ad network tracking, that's more than any other platform, and could easily be worth the extra cost if you actually care about that.

Lots and lots of people say they don't want to be tracked by ad companies. But how many are willing to open their wallets to make it happen? I'd say you can judge how sincere their commitment is by that.

Calling for violence is speech and sure as shit leads to violence.

In fact if we want to be intellectually honest speech should be recognized as a legitimate form of violence.

If you ever decide to do violence you’re going to be a lot more effective if you have a mob at your back.

To be clear I’m not calling for mob violence. I’m Just being intellectually honest. Speech is an effective tool in the execution of violence.

Whatever else your politics we can all agree that “Go to the capital and fight like hell” led to a mob attacking, entering and committing violence at the capital. It was certainly more effective than the speaker showing up personally with his fists up.

Was the speech itself violence? No. Did it directly encourage violence and then that violence happened? Yes. In that sense was it an effective orchestration of violence? Yep.
“We attribute these seemingly incompatible observations to a low-friction flow of a monolayer of water through two-dimensional capillaries formed by closely spaced graphene sheets. Diffusion of other molecules is blocked by reversible narrowing of the capillaries in low humidity and/or by their clogging with water.”

I believe it's simply that their older SoCs do not support USB 3 because it has never needed it. And the base not-Pro models will probably re-use the last year's Pro SoCs as it did this year. My bet is the new Pros will use a new SoC, and then the year after base phones will re-use that SoC and have USB 3.

Even when they re-used the iPhone SoCs for iPads, their solution is to add a separate USB 3.0 host controller, while leaving the client USB on the SoC USB 2.0: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ipad-mini-6-is-still-us... . That didn't stop them from advertising it as USB 3.0 of course.

I partially agree, but then I remember my high school IT lessons, where people in my class (our profile was math and IT, mind you) struggled with excel and very basic programming. Scripting may sound trivial for people reading HN, but certainly is not for everyone.

Not to mention that to really benefit from scripting you need programs that you can actually execute. As far as I know Windows (which most people use) is not very friendly in that regard. Powershell improves things a bit, but I'm pretty sure you can't just manipulate .xlsx files with a simple shell script on Windows, and this is one of the lowest hanging fruits I could imagine for white collar workers.
If consumers are fine then the vast majority of cables I’d see people owning would be Apple cables. That’s rarely the case. Most people are buying 3rd party cables even to use with Apple devices and I doubt any but a small minority even know what MFI is, never mind basing their purchasing decision on it.

Edit: To add to the anecdata, here’s a Reddit thread on the iPhone subreddit where the majority of folks are responding by saying they’re buying non Apple chargers.

This biggest caveat is mentioned in the ApJL paper [0] introduction:

> Because SMBH growth via accretion is expected to be insignificant in red-sequence ellipticals, and because galaxy–galaxy mergers should not on average increase SMBH mass relative to stellar mass, this preferential increase in SMBH mass is challenging to explain via standard galaxy assembly pathways (Farrah et al. 2023, Section 5).

I think there are several observational effects that may obfuscate the interpretation -- but I also haven't read these papers in great detail.

First, there is a known age-metallicity-dust degeneracy that can make dusty star forming galaxies look more like red elliptical galaxies. This can bias estimates of the star formation and mass accretion history -- e.g. perhaps supermassive black holes have had more recent growth. Second, galaxies in more overdense regions may harbor faster growing supermassive black holes, and also be more predisposed to later merging and forming an elliptical galaxy. This seems likely true around cosmic noon (z~1-2), when star formation and supermassive black hole accretion activity were at their highest throughout cosmic history.

Are there even Android phones out there with USB 3.0 or higher over USB-C?

My current gen phone also only support USB 2.0 and it's ridiculously slow to get data off of it. I usually put in an SD card, copy all data over and put the SD card into my PC.

> Why has FEMA not been contacted for assistance?

>> We are monitoring the incident and remain in close contact with local officials who are handling the response on the ground.

Sounds good to me. Not every happening in the country needs a dedicated slush fund. If officials determine that this does, FEMA has already been in close contact with the people who they need to be in close contact with. You want to be the one who determines this? Run for office or apply for the job.

> What went into the decision to burn it off? What are the implications of that for local residents?

To prevent an explosion, as explained here: https://www.newsweek.com/did-control-burn-toxic-chemicals-ma...

This was very easy to find on Bing. Did you do any research at all or just expect the media to spoon feed you answers?

> How long are local residents going to live with this?

Not something that can be answered by anything but waiting and seeing.

> What are we going to do to help the local ecology? How long is this whole thing supposed to last in the water table?

I don't expect this to be something that is known right now. But I can bet that scientists the country over are investigating.

> What are they gonna do to help prevent it?

Literally the main question in the media. Assigning blame to some party/policy/whatever, in order to adopt a change.

I don't know if it counts as a divergent USB-C spec to be honest. For instance, I can create a device that takes USB-C for charging and for a keyboard, but that does not mean that my device must support ethernet-over-usb, right?

Such an iOS device could support USB-C charging, but e.g. only accept ethernet-over-usb from certified adapters.

I don't think that they can force the cable to be authentified, it's really just that there must be their authentication coprocessor on the accessory side.
Or both. Over the course of a long career, not only can you be 'T' shaped, you could be 'TTTTT' shaped.

I used to have the same attitude toward unit tests for my solo projects… But a few years ago I was working on library that had to do a lot of vector math, and I was doing SO much manual checking after every change. I wrote a bunch of tests so that I could see what was breaking when.

What I didn't expect is that the tests gave me so much confidence to improve, extend and refactor the code. Before it felt so fragile, like the whole thing could crumble if I don't quadruple check my work. With the tests in place, I changed the entire underlying data type from a struct to a native simd vector in an hour. Made the changes, fixed a couple of bugs, merged the branch, boom.

I don't strive for anything close to 100% coverage, but the handful of tests that cover my critical code have saved me so much time.

I used slackware linux. I wrote assembly code when I was a teenager. I use 'perl -i -pe' constantly. I still don't want to learn a bunch of arcane flags from a bunch of tools with a million gotchas. Sorry. I'd rather focus on the code craft that gives me joy these days.

Sorry, I detest this attitude of: "Well I was hazed so why aren't you hazed too?"

Did I mention that Russ Cox and I used to write C code with pen and paper? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32874759 If you haven't, are you even qualified to discuss what vital skills others are missing?

No it's not a well known risk factor at all. Especially not the likes of 1 in 5000, and there's no explanation why it's only affected kids 12-17 and it decreases to almost nil as one gets older.
Sounds like IMS runs on Z system mainframes with redundant hot-swappable CPUs and memory. They pay IBM a lot of money for the illusion of a single reliable machine, when a different OS would manage it as a small cluster.

We economize by using racks of cheap, flaky commodity hardware, but we have to be ready for one computer to die by failing each application over to another.
I'm not sure if I believe this rumor yet. I haven't seen that "This accessory is not supported" message on an Apple device in many years (and even then, it was only when a legit cable was starting to wear out). I've used several cheap chargers and accessories that I'm almost certain are not "Apple certified." Does this program even still exist? Also, iPad Pros have USB-C, and as far as I can tell they are broadly compatible with things like USB audio interfaces which I'm also fairly confident have not gone through any sort of Apple certification process.
perhaps individual behavior is still the key factor

I strongly disagree given that we're talking about addictive substances and the power of doctors coupled with the DOJ finding manufacturers guilty of kickback schemes.
> Store it as Unix epoch seconds

This is what we do. Have been storing 100% of our timestamps this way in SQLite for ~8 years now. Using .NET to handle the actual conversion to/from long.

var myTimeUtc = DateTime.UtcNow;
var myTimeUnix = new DateTimeOffset(myTimeUtc).ToUnixTimeSeconds();
var myTimeUtc2 = DateTimeOffset.FromUnixTimeSeconds(myTimeUnix).UtcDateTime;

No drama at all. No weird libraries or utility methods. It's all simple built-ins these days.

Well, yes, you can't hire people who aren't legally eligible to work for you. But you can't not hire someone who is because they're also a Chinese citizen or look like they might be.
But I haven't encountered a cable or accessory that doesn't work in many years. Is the claim that Apple prevents non-MFI cables or accessories from working with iPhones? Because I am nearly certain that is not the case.

Of webapps. Will make you a better developer of webapps. It may surprise you to learn that there are more kinds of software than that. Sometimes the final product is something like a binary that runs outside the browser, and deployment is no more complex that putting an tar.gz'd executable on a website.

People seem generally unaware of the difference between number of channels, width of channels, and number of dimms.

In fact this question is wrong, or at least misleading. The OP went from one DDR5 dimm (with two 32 bit channels) to 2 DDR5 dimms with a total of 4 32 bit channels. Thus doubled the bandwidth, but also doubled the number of memory quests you can have in flight.

Given that GPUs in general are quite bandwidth intensive, not surprising that graphics performance significant increased. This is the main reason why the M1 pro -> M1 max doubles the memory bandwidth, it doubles the iGPU performance in many cases.

I mentioned the vaccine, and you're talking about COVID-19, which is not what I was talking about.

> Vaccines work by stimulating one's immune system response in ways similar to infection

Wrong. This is not how the MRNA vaccine works. The only thing that the MRNA vaccines produce is the spike protein, and it's bound with an additional part so that even the spike protein can't be active. It doesn't deliver the same immune response as it does from a COVID 19 infection at all.

All of which doesn't answer the question why are 12-17 year olds suffering a 1 in 5000 chance of getting myocarditis from the vaccine?
Huh, that's not even an entire side of a 1541 disc.

But I also just bought it and the game itself lives in a .crt file that OSX says is 1,034,272 bytes, and rounds to 1 megabyte. So I think you may be wrong in saying it is one megabit.

(Doing the math, it is about 5.9 1541 discs worth of data, possibly a bit more if you consider theoretical directory tracks and/or custom recording formats that sacrifice some data density for blazing speed. Not that there appear to be any plans for a floppy version.)
Does that include limiting to USB2.0 speeds for copying images to PCs?

The customers that buy Apple don't flinch at 40 bucks for a cable, no.

There's a reason that Apple is not that big in lower income countries like here in Spain.
MFi is not about the cable. It's about authenticating the accessory. I see it as some kind of DRM, because you can't reverse-engineer the protocol and connect your own accessory.

I like Android's AOAP better for this reason.
So the audio book narrators have two bad options: A. refuse to let their voice be used to train ML I.e don’t work because I’m sure all contracts have or will soon have that clause, or B. Work for a few years training their robot replacements and then lose work due to being replaced by robots.
>USB cables available online from any arbitrary retailer could be so wildly out of spec they burn out gadgets, or include some phone home thing.

Apple's tristar (or whatever they call it now on new models) should reject anything out of spec, I don't think a cable should be ultimately trusted that it will work due to very real world wear scenarios.

Phone home is probably tin foil hat thinking.

Basing the ad displayed on search terms entered or the page content is the opposite of a privacy violation.

The problem is companies like Google and Facebook, which track users across the web and relentlessly spy on everything they do.

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.

>Of course, Google has been able to track your location using Google Maps for a long time. Since 2014, it has used that information to provide advertisers with information on how often people visit their stores. But store visits aren’t purchases, so, as Google said in a blog post on its new service for marketers, it has partnered with “third parties” that give them access to 70 percent of all credit and debit card purchases.

Meta develops an AI language bot that can use external software tools
Ah, my dear child. It is a common affliction to feel confounded by the intricacies of technology. Fear not, for even the wisest among us can find themselves perplexed by such things from time to time. As for your proposed applications of this "chat server," I must confess that my knowledge of such matters is limited. However, it does sound like a most intriguing endeavor. Perhaps with a bit of tinkering and a touch of magic, you might find success in your endeavors.

I used ChatGPT. The prompt was:

I want you to act like Dumbledore from Harry Potter. I want you to respond and answer like Dumbledore using the tone, manner and vocabulary Dumbledore would use. Do not write any explanations. Only answer like Dumbledore. You must know all of the knowledge of Dumbledore. My first sentence is "Hi Dumbledore. I am getting old: I read the description two times and checked examples yet still don't understand the utility. I do understand Midjourney prompt engineering though.

That sounds useful actually. So I could e.g. set up a Harry Potter chat server and make the bot respond only as Dumbledore or only use concepts of that setting? Or a chat server that responds to algorithmic tasks only with Python 3 code using exclusively numpy package?"

The prompt is based on one from https://github.com/f/awesome-chatgpt-prompts

No it wasn’t. The issue was a custom made cake. The court ruled that the cake constituted an artistic expression (i.e. speech) on the part of the baker and they couldn’t be compelled to produce speech they disagreed with. If they just wanted a premade cake there would have been no issue.

Suppose at some point gay marriage is overturned, and some conservative group goes to a gay baker and commissions a cake saying "Hooray no more gay marriage! God is good!". Should they be compelled to bake that cake since they can't discriminate on the basis of religion?

You might disagree with that logic, but the ruling had to do with free speech, not public accommodations. Commissioning a custom work is not a public accommodation.
By the time I had read "naloxone was patented in 01961" I thought it was some sort of patent identifier, so I was really confused when they said that it was "known to prevent death from opiate" in some other patent. I was thinking, patents don't have anything to do with researc- oh, it's a date.

I remember seeing someone else on HN use a five digit date years ago, giving the reasoning that it gives us a bigger perspective on our timeline and society.

I like the idea, but it muddies the message since we use standards for a reason. For example, if someone writes "In 13 I tried..." it's a bit confusing, but if they write "In '13 I tried..." it makes immediate sense since we have expectations about communicating dates.
Of course, anyone can not apply to work for feds to avoid this.

Like many of you I was very skeptical of this at first but it truly is amazing. An example today came from having many time stamps throughout the week, grouped by days, in a FE react project where each grouping has a property “isInThePast”.

I wanted to show a label for days that were in the past, and with the simple beginning of a ternary statement of “{grouping.isInThePast ? “} it auto completed the <span> tag with “(Past)” in red text using our UI library.

Examples like this happen all the time, and it saves you those two seconds dozens or hundreds of times per day. Just my 2c
