Hi HN! On behalf of Dan, the creator of this site, I post for your consideration Urman Dictionary (completely unaffiliated with the excellent Urban Dictionary).

Complete with an RSS feed for those who know how to navigate in style, Urman Dictionary was a personal find as I tried to check the spelling for a word that didn't exist (provigo) and I was taken this site as my first option.

Good day to everyone!
So, people who don't want guns around them, kids, drunks, are the ones at fault ?
It has 7 CPUs, the COTS SoC is just one of them. It's used for the vision tasks - hazard avoidance, odometry etc, and it's optional, as the helicopter is able to be controlled without it. It was specifically a test for the COTS components on Mars, and the vision system actually had multiple issues with frame skipping (I'm not aware of the direct cause though, might have been camera or the software for example).
This really depends on the size of your blobs. Having a small jsonb payload will not be a problem, storing 500MB blobs in each row is probably not ideal if you frequently update the rows and they have to be re-written.
Don't revoke it, just apply it: "well-regulated militia". Regulate, then !
The character ß is called "scharfes S" or "eszett" which would translate to "ess zee" in American English.
I have 3 months notice. It is unreasonable.
Well, we might have no practical test to discern between the two types, but, assuming we agree the two types are distinct in principle, then we might arrive at a classification using some inference based on their fundamental nature.

For example, we can safely say this AI algorithm:

while true; do: echo "HELP, I'M A SENTIENT BASH SCRIPT"; done

... is probably not sentient. This is a conclusion that would not be immediately obvious, say, to a 15th century person, especially if you would pipe the output to a speech synthesizer, making the whole apparatus seem magical and definitely inhabited by some kind of sentient spirit.

My claim would be then that GPT-4 is more akin to the program above, in that it's a massive repository of world knowledge parsed by a recursive and self-configuring search algorithm, not very different in principle from a Google search and certainly not believably capable of an setting its own goals be in any sense distraught, in pain, or worthy of a continued existence. Now, I agree you can poke sticks at my inference, and that it will become harder and harder to make such claims, so prudence is advisable.
,,I have a concealed carry permit''

This is crazy, as a European who lived in a peaceful world all my life I believe it should be illegal to conceal any deadly weapon. A person who does that is danger to everybody.

I understand the right for people protecting their own home and being able to protest violently against their government in a need, but going to a conference is none of these.

There are pepper sprays that are good for self defence without being able to kill people, why not use those?
Does not being able to be around CRT displays because of the noise make qualify one as having super hearing? Pretty sure a good percentage of the population have that problem
It can be run in a VM with non-persistent root filesystem.
This overlooks a lot of business dynamics.

Open source is great at developing efficient tools, but it is famously terrible at marketing them, or turning them into products usable by the mass. That’s because making a tool, and building a product is very different.

Private companies are most able to build products for reasons that wouldn’t fit in a comment. It is very possible that open source keeps on giving these private companies the foundation to build products - just like Linux gave Silicon Valley the foundation for the Web - but very unlikely that these open source tools become the consumer facing products everybody uses.

Then also come into play existing power dynamics. Even though they are late in the game - Apple/Google are still in prime position to build the top conversational assistants / because they dominate “Siri”/“hey Google.” It’s not possible on iOS to change the default chat engine. If I hold my AirPods, it goes straight into Siri, even if I have Ok Google or something else installed. Don’t know about Android but probably similar dynamics.
It looks beautiful, well explain and great approach. Well done!
Also, a hill they're choosing to kill kids on, which bothers me more.
I wish that whoever made this "distinction" never made it. Because now people just blindly repeat this, and it makes no sense.

UI (user interface) is a part of UX (user *experience).
That was not original point. Also actual issues are that you are often kicked off for a day with all your possessions. You can not be there during afternoon. You can not left your crap there. Other frequent issue is that you can not lock your stuff. I dont live with homeless, but if I had to stay with dozens of non-homeless strangers I would still felt the need to lock somehow most important possessions.
Imagine spending only 30% of your net worth and getting to experiment with buying and growing one of the most used and talked about sites on the internet.

That sounds like one of the least interesting things I could do with $44bn.

With that sort of money I could fund 1000 Twitter rivals, and after a couple of years combine the successful and interesting ones into a single rival that would actually do something better than Twitter.
Seeing what people who design and make iPhones have been doing to iPhones of late, oh yes!
I’ve found my VP (which I like a lot though) dries up very quickly. I recently got a Lamy Dialog and it behaves way better (and even though it looks bulky it is a joy to use). For more “casual” (throw-in-the-bag) I really dig the plasticky Pelican Twists (they feel extremely comfortable, I have 3 or 4) and a trusty Kaweco Liliput in brass I always carry on my backpack.
Many religious people believe that voluntary religiosity is good and forced religiosity is bad.
Equivalence Partitioning
Yeah. Weak masculinity. You can't drive drunk but you can drink and carry ? Around kids and from 18 ? How could that go wrong ?
I have been _plagued_ by smoke alarms that treat a low battery as a sign of a fire. To the point that I am trained by their crying wolf that it is _always_ a false alarm. Particularly when I'm asleep and they've gone off.

I would actually prefer if rules mandated they could only have large capacitors and just NOT CARE if the power goes out.

Next would be to require a sensor pick up an area that's IR hot AND smoke to go off. I'm sick of bathroom steam sometimes setting them off too.

Finally, ONLY FOR EMERGENCY would the loud and annoying cry be allowed. Tests, low battery, anything not indicating a clear and immediate threat to life should be a low noise, low light, indication. Maybe a 2 second low-quality sound clip that says 'bat' at a soft voice volume with a strobe at the end of the voice (when a human would be looking for the noise). Fog/Steam/etc, E.G. possible fire without detected heat but at a weak detection level, could also use the 'info' level of alert, not the DANGER level.
I go to concerts pretty regularly and have had both- the eargasms are much more comfortable and sound better. That said, the Etys are very durable - mine lasted for something like 20 years
Not everyone has access to these ones yet
> It sounds like the independent booksellers in this scenario are doing basically nothing of note, their web store fronts are just an ad for bookshop.org where the indie gets a large cut. Is that right?

I mean, they're sending traffic. I don't think that's "nothing of note".
The most fiendish application of this effect that I've seen is polyphase filtering. I can't remember the details, but at the time I can remember the wonder of understanding (in a lecture by fred harris) how most the logic was running at a low sampling rate yet the input was at a high rate. The mixing was done by aliasing.

Reading the comments, it sounds like the perpetrator somehow first got the shares and this is not normally possible? Sounds fishy.

I don’t know anything about EVE though.
The funny part is that US people are paying more (2x) for public health (not private) than the average european and receiving nothing in return... And they say public healthcare is communism. That shot in my country would cost 0. Like a cancer treatment or giving birth. Just 0. That's why we pay taxes.

I'm glad I don't live in the US.

There is a „favorite“ button FYI :)
The person I replied to seemed to imply it was bad that kids aren’t taught cursive. I’ve heard that opinion before, as if cursive were intrinsically valuable. I think it’s like any other hobby skill: if you like using it because of your own enjoyment, awesome! But that doesn’t mean it’s inherently worthwhile for anyone else.
> You can do that in Linux...

I think I _may_ have done that before. What I thought was interesting is FreeBSD just did that without any extra steps. When I "apt-get install" a desktop environment in Ubuntu or Debian and reboot, the desktop environment loads by default. In FreeBSD, I guess there's some startup scripts I would need to edit to start X and the desktop manager...
Are you crazy? That would be a phenomenal deal. Each car costs 30 bucks instead of 30k.

Cars would literally be disposable. It's cheaper to throw away than fix.

You buy 5 cars and when one breaks you toss it.

This is a great deal

HTMX is basically a JavaScript framework that makes the traditional request-response approach feels like an SPA via replacing only part(s) of the current page with the response. In this case: it loads a small form, submits it to the backend, then replaces the respective part of the page with the updated markup. The state is kept only at the backend.

With some constraints you can create a page that works with or without JS. The same endpoint can be used for serving HTML fragments for HTMX and full page for JS-disabled clients since the HTMX request can be detected by the HX-Request header.
I follow racing more than NFL, and I think Formula1 and Motogp have streaming figured out

Formula1:
$80 usd for the entire season.
No stopping the race for ads, but they digitally insert ads in dead space on the screen.
Access to the entire weekend -- pre/post shows, formula3, formula2, etc
Watch races live.
Camera choice during the live race -- the tv feed, helicopter shot, or onboard of any driver.
All seasons of all past years (of current owners...but goes back ?30 years) of races.

MotoGP:
$150 usd for the entire season
No cutaway from the race for ads.
Access to the entire weekend -- pre/post shows, moto3, moto2
Watch races live
Camera layout choice during raced -- one large screen, two screens, on large screen with 2 or 3 small screens underneath
Choice of camera per screen in your layout -- tv feed, heli, onboards, timing sheets, track map w/ rider's positions overlaid on the track map
All seasons of past years to current rights availability (all races back to ?1999, some select races back to 1992)

BUT -- these are the prices for the USA market, which is pretty small. I wonder what the european cost or availability of the content is.

Formula1 streaming is very recent as of the last ownership change. Motogp was streaming live races (with no ads) by 2005.

The NFL is a weird situation. As people shifted away towards streaming, live sports remained as a place for premium ads, even though the market age of NFL fans is increasing (* as of some previous job related general entertainment market information...can't cite)

NFL was just a part of growing up in the midwest. I've always enjoyed seeing games in-person. I really hope they can have a formula1 moment where they throw out the old regime and quickly adapt to modern viewing habits and interest. It feels like a Kodak moment.
> ... a brand new city in a pocket of Australia where temperatures can be among the hottest on earth in the summer and climate change looms as a major threat.

> In January 2020, as wildfires ravaged Australia’s east coast, the temperature reached 48.9C in the Sydney suburb of Penrith, about 14 miles from Bradfield, making it the hottest place in the world.

Tree line streets and vegetation can cool the area but they do have the disadvantage of being flammable. It would take some very good reasons for me to move to a place that is hot by Australian standards and could get a lot hotter in the future.
I can't be the only software developer who's feeling scared.
Chilli retains its heat during cooking. Peppercorns and mustard don't; if you want to use them for heat, add them at the end of cooking.

I don't mean "heat" in the ayurvedic sense, I just mean in terms of the burning sensation on the palate.

People will often use the same bluetooth headphones to listen to music regardless of what kind of computer they’re using. I don’t think it’s safe to assume mobile devices have worse sound.

I keep my cables in toilet paper rolls (the cardboard part, just to make it clear). If you have many in one box, you can write on the roll what type of cable it holds, as a way to label it.
Great release ! I've been thinking about something like "hx-on" for quite a while and I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I remember when I first got into this kind of stuff that you could just download a divx codec pack and put the .dlls somewhere in windows XP so that your programs could use them, why can't I do that with firefox and h.265?
Wow, I’ll definitely steal the shuffling animation for https://FreeSolitaire.win/

So how do you pay for the staffing, infrastructure and communications costs?

Most of the internet only exists because it is paid for by advertisers. Users won't pay. Ok, 0.0001% will - maybe.
can confirm body doubling / virtual coworking does miracles
I am so sure of it I went out and built a whole platform around this concept :)
I think it would be pretty easy with the language models we have available these days.

And there’s always the options of having unsupported languages or inferring it from user settings or user location.

From a product perspective you will need this feature though if you want worldwide coverage, because very few people are polyglots and most people don’t speak English as a first language.
My impression of cognitive science is that it is a branch of psychology/neuroscience and is largely focused of stimulus -> response, and studying what happens in between. There is a lot to learn here, but I would be surprised if it's the whole potato that unlocks blatantly sentient ai.

it's a pun on the both garum and garam masala. It's not a spelling error.
Any serious student runs their own work through detection tools before submission. A student who’s work I was reviewing was telling me that the university actually encouraged this.
Do you realize that they want to bring a gun mostly because you don't want them to? By speaking the words "guns not invited" into the universe, you draw an intense desire from many gun advocates to respond. It's just polarization on one side leading to more polarization on the other side. The more one party pushes, the more the other pushes back. It's a self-amplifying feedback loop.

The only reason they want to do any of this is because their needs (in an abstract sense) are not being met. Because the system is inadequate at addressing everyone's needs, regardless of belief or party affiliation.

This is mimetic tribalism, where the players think that their tribe can better meet their needs and insecurities. Guns aren't even what this is about.

In any case, I'm annoyed that the Rust Foundation finds it worth their time to play these games.
Uh that's sad! There is actually an issue opened about NixOS; but, since I am not using it, it's pretty hard for me to debug.
If you want some help you can comment on that issue though!
This might be surprising to some. But many people are simply not highly motivated by money. Sure, some amazing teachers simply can't stick with teaching because it doesn't pay enough, but a lot make it work.

10 years ago, at my university, I remember there was an opening for an English associate professor. They had over 300 applicants. I guarantee you there were lots of amazing teachers in that group because they certainly weren't doing it because of the $38k starting salary.
Prince is the son of a monarch. A monarch is the sole ruler (mono = one).

In an oligarchy you can still have powerful military rulers "whose chariot wheels roll everywhere"

To continue the comparison with the Roman republic. Consuls where great leaders bestowed with great power and honoured for their military successes. The Roman republic had a taboo of monarchy, one that Caesar himself played with dangerously and which got him killed.
> I meant native as in compiled to fast/minimal native machine code, the other games are all Unity/Unreal potato VM games, all 263/266 of them... with GC = sickness. The Climbs are Cryengine which might not have GC but still is bloated to hell.

Fascinating info, thanks for sharing. I was aware of the two Cryengine games and the omnipresence of Epic’s engines, but I didn’t realize it was that lopsided.

Absolutely agree with the claim that “non-standard locomotion” is best for avoiding VR sickness - games like Gorilla Tag and Echo Arena really have a sort of “presence” factor that goes beyond 99% of VR titles.

Strongly disagree on the claim that VR sickness is a widespread issue - outside of Boomers/GenX who didn’t grow up playing video games. But I digress since I’m sure other posters will be jumping on the claim haha.

Btw, Tea for God is in the App Lab [1] so you shouldn’t need to mess around with ADB or Sidequest. If you enjoy the unique “pseudo infinite space” thing it has going on, you’d probably also enjoy “Eye of the Temple”. It’s currently on Steam[2] and in development for Quest, but it does the infinite spaces thing with an Indiana Jones style twist and is quite enjoyable experiencing the clever ways the dev came up with to trick you into thinking you’re physically exploring a huge space while actually remaining mostly still in reality.

One strategy for mitigating vacuum costs would be to adopt an append-only strategy and partition the table. Then you can just drop partitions and avoid the vacuum costs.

Really depends on the needs but this can unlock some very impressive and sustainable throughputs.
so no way to prove this claim isn't something someone made up one day?
Have a look at some of the Gandhara (sp?) Buddhist statues. I think that sculpture tradition is from the Swat Valley, which is now Moslem and in Pakistan. They look like Greek sculpture to me.
Equates to roughly 150 annual payments, so that's enough for your main and two alts for 50 years. :)

Side note, the AUD monthly of $30 - wtaf? I've been away for a while, they seem intent on keeping it that way.
Why would you think that? Tyrants love gullible people with guns. Stir up the trouble, dispose of opponents while keeping your hands clean, make people cry for law and order (so that you can enter the stage as their savior), and when all is said and done, send them to gulag or something.
First, it's about regulating not banning so far. Second, Russia and China are so staggeringly behind they are not threats in foreseeable future. This is not even close to some cold war style arms race you are envisioning.
IIRC HN really wants an indented paragraph for code blocks, your ``` did not go precisely to plan, I don't think - if you indent:

it'll be happier.
Curious question I have. What makes you think FSD is a “dangerous scam”? It’s quite functional even if it doesn’t quite meet the advertising yet. Maybe slightly dangerous for now yes, but hardly a scam.
Every week, over 200,000 Australian students (and increasingly, American students) and their teachers use Stile’s web platform to explore and analyse the science behind the big issues facing us globally.

We need your help making all of our data accessible and useful. We need your help crafting magical automations around that data that’ll make us all more efficient.
Teachers are very good at spotting when a paper was not written by a student. Any student they've worked with and graded works from they can identify. When someone changes tone, pattern, word choice, and grammer all at once? It's usually not because of a flash of academic inspiration.

The problem is that accusing a student of cheating (especially in the US) comes with a risk of lawsuit by parents and being forced to "prove it". If it's not clear-cut plagerism but a new novel work, that claim doesn't hold up.

I think the future of this is milti-fold. Don't try and identify AI papers (as you say, a cat and mouse game), just try to identify if the author is the same author as previous works. Students over their academic careers produce many works, enough to identify them. Secondarily, emphasize more short form writing in class, where research is done ahead of time but papers are composed in real time. Last, especially for younger students, emphasize (and grade) the process, not the outcome as much. Show your sources, outline, etc long before you turn in a paper. The value of having ai write it drops if you have to show your work.

Life expectancy: #10 of 12

GDP per capita: #8

Median household income: #10

High school graduation rate: #9

Minnesota, North Dakota, and Nebraska rank highest by most measures.
I don’t understand how this is going to take off if no one is going to make money from this.

A server can’t really charge its users. I and most people would probably not pay to help support a server. Twitter works because most people who actually interact on it don’t pay.

And the source of Twitter’s woes is honestly because the company has never been profitable (unlike Facebook, Google and so on which did).

Also, requiring a domain name to have an alias? So this service is just going to be a community of sysadmins and web developers?
This isn't tribalism. I don't want people at a conference I organize to feel unsafe, or worse to be put in actual risk due to the unnecessary presence of firearms that have no reason to be there.

Guns go off unintentionally. People react before properly assessing a situation. Someone dead, on the floor, riddled with bullets is not an acceptable outcome no matter the situation that led up to it. Not in any event I organize.

If you feel unsafe because you can't bring your gun, then don't come. You're not welcome.
