I'm not sure but that wouldn't surprise me.

Either way it's still true it was quite easy for the Swiss to remain neutral since they're a pain in the ass to invade, and there was no reason to. I can definitely see them being more useful to him with their neutrality intact, but in some sense that only reinforces my point. If Switzerland had, say a bunch of oil, the equation might have changed.

Norway on the other hand had no realistic hope of remaining neutral once Hitler laid his eyes on our iron ore and massive, honkin' coastal line.

Whereas Sweden managed to maintain their neutrality partially by continuing to sell iron ore to Germany throughout the war as well as allowing them to move troops through them en route to Finland. And Hitler was more interested in the Soviets at that point, so Sweden would have been a distraction.

Finland was also neutral originally and they ended up in all sorts of wars theoughout WW2.

It seems pretty clear that neutrality in WW2 was respected by the large powers only to the extent it was convenient, and ignored otherwise. Most of the countries that remained neutral were city-states and the aforementioned countries + Spain(aligned with the axis powers though still neutral), Portugal(insulated by Spain) and Ireland(insulated by the British).

Even there there is the progression of MRA (Matters Requiring Attention), MRIA (Matters Requiring Immediate Attention) before going to actual criminal prosecution (which invariably ends in a settlement, which takes the form of a large fine and a Consent Order). Just take a look at [1], where an unnamed bank has appealed an MRA given by the OCC on the topic of AML in 2020.

There's an overwhelming bias in the profession towards writing code that creates some kind of result first, and then figuring out what it does later.

I don't think it's new or specific to tooling practices, it just reflects seasonal fashions based on whatever the last problem someone had was: "the old stuff was too restrictive" vs "the old stuff blew up too often". And there is always difficulty at the beginning of the specification in that feature design tends to change partway through, so guardrails in implementation can hinder the path towards seeing the result.

However, I do think it's countered in some sense by designing towards intentional wrongness: In my code it's always been habitual to first write skeleton code that is a stub that always "returns true", prints out string literals that are what I want, or other such things. Where something a little more complex like managing the state of a video game scene is called for, I've learned to turn towards first enumerating a large number of states, and then gradually parcelling it out into more specific data and algorithms. The reason why that works is because it means I am starting from a fundamentally static position: I've exactly specified what states the system can be in, and haven't taken on unexpected surprises. So I know that I don't cover everything, but I do understand what I covered.

In contrast I think there's also a mindset of "open-ended permissive, fix as you go" where the system is allowed to do anything at anytime, and features are shipped broken and maybe discovered in test. I believe this is what results in ball of mud designs because, with no central point of enumeration, it allows the specification to creep up from any direction. But - it gets a result. And as the system's ambitions grow, the temptation to throw open the doors of permissiveness also grow. And that leads to the "alternate hard and soft layers" pattern[0]. Where we fail isn't in not using that pattern, it's in not recognizing when it's forming and heaping too many concerns on a specific layer.

Velocity is relative to a frame of reference. My understanding is that if an object has a low velocity compared to Earth it will more likely drift away due to earth-moon gravity interactions. An example is Apollo 10 third stage and lunar module ascent stage which are in solar orbits to this day.

I attempted to deploy a simple app on Fly a couple of weeks ago, but porting it from heroku became a nightmare, servers crashing, cryptic error messages, etc. Maybe I'm in the minority but in any case my experience with Fly definitely left me questioning the hype around it.
I've seen long COVID, my workmate would be fine then faint all of a sudden for a fortnight or so after he was off with the coof.

I myself had a lot of breathing issues for a week or two after I had it, took me a month to get back into the swing of the gym.

That being said, I've never seen anyone hit hard for more than a week or two. So I don't really know what to think here, but I have noticed that interest groups seem hellbent on riding this disease all the way into big funding grants and political power.

There's really not much information in just seeing that situation. When I drove for 2min between a supermarket and a clinic, I didn't bother taking it off for example. (Also a good idea not to touch it anyway) You'll need to actually have the context of why they have it on.

While the odds of what I'm about to describe are astronomically (pun intended) low, I can see the following occurring:

- earth moves in its orbit

- meteor is moving in a straight line

- that line is perfectly parallel to a point on the earth's orbit

- the earth and the meteor basically link up and the speeds match so precisely that the meteor just goes into orbit
Seems docker is going from the frying pan to the fire. Have they added ‘resume download’ yet to docker? Over my slow DSL I can’t stand how docker makes me download 7G of images when I want to install something very simple, frequently it fails to do the download and I have to do it several times so it adds up to more like 28G of downloading and all that waiting.

I worked at one place where management was shocked when I told them the image build process would take 20 minutes on gigabit fiber up in Canada and we agreed to time it and I measured 18 minutes. Docker slows down “dev” to the speed of “ops.”

I don’t know how they did it but the data scientists could always find f-ed up Python images, you never got the same default character encoding twice, one time the default character set was Hungarian and I wonder how that happens…
Anyone with knowledge of how government finances work knows that the central bank will never allow a bond auction to fail, and the central bank will never bounce a treasury cheque.
While some do damage, I have to wonder if most of these events would be called merely whirlwinds or dust devils in most of the world? I'm also guessing that in an area of often high humidity, a funnel cloud might more easily form in a relatively weak whirlwind, that if it happened elsewhere.

Also, this is south-east England ("Berkshire into London") specifically, and also the Netherlands - some of the more densely populated parts of the globe, so I see a possible correlation to the density of observers here...
I do think some people are quick to dismiss it.

Though I must admit that I'm also not quite sure what is happening here. The problem seems to be very much real, but the link to Covid is tenuous.

The only symptom with a plausible causal link is the shortness of breath, and most symptoms of long-covid are the kind of psychosomatic symptoms that, while real, could be a symptom of something else and may have been exacerbated by a heavy illness, rather than caused by it.

The other problem is the lack of people not infected by Covid. Pretty much everyone close to a burn-out would experience increasing fatigue, weakness, depression with a very sharp increase at the point where they may have gotten hit by Covid. A bit like how spring always seems to arrive suddenly, simply because an average increase temperature happened to coincide with a sudden change in weather.

The lack of any common treatment or known causal link makes it very tricky to get a grasp of the situation. So far the only thing that I think is well established is that it is a problem, but I'd really like to know more about how it came about and what can be done about it.
I don't have any issue with Docker charging for things. If they can get away with charging $0.50 every time someone types docker ps, great. Unfortunately that isn't the reality as competition exists. Eventually bad monetization strategies will lead to business decline.
> It seems obvious to me that if you never intend to sell a bond, the maturity value is a measure of interest.

The reason this matters is because in the case of a bank who needs the funds to operate then they very much might need to sell the bonds, or revalue them at NPV because of statutory requirements.

This entire discussion is because the NPV of HTM assets is now relevant.
"We can’t listen to your queries and no other party can. Privacy is built by design in our solution."

I don't really understand the technical solution behind this statement. Isn't this just e2e encryption up until you decrypt the query to pass to the LLM? ML operating via homomorphic encryption is very far away and OpenChatKit is just a standard self-hosted LLM. This seems more like "self host on semi trusted azure compute that isn't owned by openai and the model performance will be far worse than gpt4"?
(I wouldn't try this on a Linux Host) But I believe the shortcut for the Windows Moonlight client was Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F1/F12 to switch between the displays.

Instead of this, I happen to setup the Host with Win+P to use the second display only and it works great.

If you want to limit Sunshine to stream the virtual/second display, using the control panel:

The virtual adapter I just setup with this driver mentioned above, was assigned: '\\.\DISPLAY25' but go ahead and run that 'tools/dxgi-info.exe' to find out.

I also saw one of these ~10 years ago at the end of December. I was in South Florida, and it was up in the sky long enough for me to tell everyone to look up, so five or six other people saw it too.

> Is it too much to just admit that you don't have enough evidence to decide whether it's real instead of trying to write claimants off as grifters or mentally ill?

The fundamental problem is that essentially all of the "science" around Long Covid is abysmal -- phone surveys and uncontrolled, retrospective analyses of medical billing codes; many don't even bother to check if the respondent had Covid -- and the few studies that actually do achieve any level of rigor have read out negative results.

For example, the NIH ran a controlled, longitudinal study where they ran a battery of tests on 189 people confirmed to have Covid, and 120 controls...and found nothing objective that would define a disease state. This tweet thread does a great job of summarizing the results, and where the good science on Long Covid mostly stands at the current time:

https://twitter.com/awgaffney/status/1528876982754476032

We don't generally accept someone's self-reported illness without objective verification. It's too easy to do harm, and hypochondria is a real thing. Does that mean that Long Covid doesn't exist? No, of course not (among other things, post-hospitalization syndrome is a real thing! People who spend time in the hospital generally take time to get better!)...but it also doesn't mean that we should accept silly headlines and hyperbolic claims at face value.
Ask HN: What's the State of Autonomous Checkout?
Amazon has struggled to sell their JWO tech, and the autonomous checkout startups also have less stores than I thought they would by this point.

Is the autonomous checkout industry struggling or growing? Anyone know?

Funny thing is, for one person I know, lots of typing was a barrier to him transitioning from gaming to programming. He's long ago overcome that!

But tinkering with software to modify its behaviour - hacking - is what OP must mean. The general-purposeness of PCs facilitates that much more than the major consoles do.

Also, V8 is being abandoned very quickly because how poorly it's build quality effects development so that costant flattery of V8 seems to suggest some kind of blinders.
Oh it is absolutely a waste of compute practically speaking. I just find it incredibly interesting that it's even possible for GPT to convincingly recreate many aspects of the original game, including the rules about what is and is not possible at various points, and I haven't seen many others exploring in this direction. I'm very curious as to what Pokemon-simulation-adjacent things GPT is capable of.
I just want to make pretty pictures like the ones in the article.
Can you really not imagine any kind of system where everyone can pay their bills and knowledge isn't guarded behind a paywall?
Obviously the solution is to get the LLM to output Prolog. Give it positive feedback if the Prolog compiles. :-)
Depends on the project.

All the time I see bullshitters complaining how hard it is to drive traffic for a landing page that gathers emails of people who might be interested in some project that doesn’t exist yet. I tell them, “if you had a product you might get some interest but you’re just going to get punched in the face if you link a landing page like that from Reddit.”
I have the predecessor? of this without wifi. I just fired up a CUPS + avahi Docker image on my local server for remote printing capabilities. I’m still on the “trial” toner it came with and I bought this near the beginning of the Covid pandemic. These thing are built like tanks and just work. You can even buy and use non OEM toners.
In many ways I agree with you.

Just like Visual Basic 6, it's super-easy to get started with a Dockerfile, but nigh-on impossible to create a quality result with it.

Voice assistants and LLM's will probably be the next horizon for handsfree driving.

Same. I’m so disappointed because I’ve been rooting for them. We were close to a major deployment/migration (well, major as is mid four figures per month, not major like Google) but they were removed from the decision set. It would not have been responsible to bet on them at this time. I hope they get this sorted - they’re really good folks!

I think what should shake everyone's biases a bit is a story about COVID and Ivermectin with one conclusion:

Ivermectin is actually effective in improving covid outcomes, but only in areas with a high incidence of parasitic worms like India.

> when glancing over to something that can preclude most of them

That's where we vehemently disagree. IME some diagnostics promote worse code.

But my argument regarding -Weverything comes down to something more practical--your code may compile today, but it will stop compiling tomorrow when the suite of diagnostics and their implementation change. And in a project maintained by more than one person, attempting to keep abreast of -Weverything is a losing battle, with the only benefit being aesthetic. Again, useful diagnostics will migrate to -Wextra, and the best of them to -Wall.

You're arguing against a strawman, alluding to those who resist -Wextra or even -Wall. But -Weverything is defined as a testing bed for diagnostics. By definition even the compiler maintainers disagree about the value--how much it helps versus incentivizes unnecessary, even dangerous code modifications.

Rather than relying on -Weverything to identify flaky C or C++ code, perhaps one should look into not using those languages for the bulk of their application. That way you avoid the most problematic areas of C and C++. Running around throwing casts everywhere to satisfy -Weverything is running in the wrong direction.

-Weverything to my mind is something that might only seem useful to those copy+pasting code from Stack Exchange or now GPT. I'll stick with my well worn copy of the C and C++ standards, and spending my time proving the correctness of hairy code.

Can’t mobOSes disable all functionality on movement above X/mph —perhaps allow it only if another device is in proximity (such as passenger presence, in public transit, etc), except for hands-free voice calls?
Nope. The majority of people arrested are not guilty of a crime. Those similar people who were released without paying bail are also likely to be innocent, so I don’t know how you think that opposes my point.
It seems like it'll be a big advantage if the actual models could, especially for on-device or privately deployed LLMs that should learn about the preferences of their users and their changing environments.

Do you have any idea why the models don't change? They may not need to, if "context" is enough to prompt them, but it's not clear to me why not.
I thought I saw somewhere it did; I must have misread. Thanks for the clarification!
IANAL. I looked through the patent, not just the Claims. I certainly didn't read all of it. But while it leaves open many possible variations, it's a patent for sequence transduction and it's quite explicit everywhere that the system comprises a decoder and an encoder (see Claim 1, the most vague) and nowhere did I see any hint that you could leave out one or the other or that you could leave out the encoder-decoder attention submodule (the "degenerate use-case" you suggested). The patent is only about sequence transduction (e.g. in translation).

Now an encoder+decoder is very similar to a decoder-only transformer, but it's certainly an inventive step to make that modification and I'm pretty sure the patent doesn't contain it. It does describe all the other pieces of a decoder/encoder-only transformer though, despite not being covered by any of the claims, and I have no idea what a court would think about that since IANAL.
I think you were the exception though; I've never seen a start-up up close that allows you to trade or even pledge your equity for any purposes.
Looking at the founders, you're assuming it had a soul.
