I haven't yet seen an example of an LLM failing at math that cannot be very easily solved by having the LLM use a calculator, much as all humans do with math of any significance. It needs to use a calculator more often, but that's a completely negligible compute cost.

Did you read the article? Quote:

This is just a fun experiment
“The Virus”
Yeah, true. The ketchup one I don't think it's "on purpose" (hence why it's annoying)

One of the best decisions he made. Antifa accounts calling for violence and terrorism should never have been tolerated on Twitter.
> Lots of indies keep close track of Disney. Many of them have a good understanding of the cost structures and revenue splits

From what I have seen most of them seems to be quoting each other figures in some kind of circle jerk with very little idea about what's actually true and most of it seems more fiction than fact, especially when it comes to derivative products and merchandising.
Expect 50 to 200% price increases within a year or so, it is what TWS has been doing with all hosting parties they acquired.

For example, PCExtreme had simple dynamic hosting for 1.95 EUR/month before acquisition [1]. Current pricing after a rebrand is 4.99 EUR/month [2] and in turn you get 1/10th of the storage and traffic.

I’m so surprised that a country who still clings to the imperial system would have any clue about UTC, the time standard that the rest of the world uses.

The launch is scheduled to 1300 UTC, for us engineering folks.
It offers adaptive, predictive input without the "auto-embarrass" and "change my prescription" feature of certain other keyboards with predictive input.

It also lets me write multiple languages, with working autocomplete in each, without changing keyboard.

Finally, for many of us who needs non-English input, the obvious other choice of iOS keyboard doesn't offer any predictions at all. I guess setting up embarrassing word swaps for Norwegian isn't a priority.
Me too. Moved everything to Namesilo and it just works. Now, if one wants Full Blown BS, they should choose Namecheap [1].

Yeah, on a second thought, that would definitely work for many.
Where did you go to? I'm in a similar boat.
It's no less evil when your state/local government does the same thing using meatbags.
If you paid attention to the numbers side of things, you'd know that there is no climate catastrophe. That's mass hysteria talking, not anything scientifically grounded. Your friend is unfortunately therefore educated but maybe not that smart, if he's really in agony over this stuff. If he was smart he'd double check these claims thoroughly before making a life decision as big as not having children (assuming he really does want them).
This one is much better than the previous one.
> LED to give a terrible light

Let's stop spreading this myth. Cheap LED lights can have terrible spectrum. Good LED lights have a better spectrum than incandescent.
In this context "support for the war" means, in a world where there are several awful conflicts going on at any given time, supporting active intervention in a particular conflict by giving support to one side.

For example, I support the west providing weapons to Ukraine - but I would not support a US return to Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban, or an intervention in Mexico to wipe out drug cartels, or an invasion of China because of the internment of Uyghurs - even though those are all awful.

Politicians will often go as far as explicitly announcing the criteria by which they'll decide which wars to involve their country in - for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinberger_Doctrine
I agree with this comment. SvelteKit is unnecessarily complicated. The `+page.svelte` etc are just the start of it.

Plus I can't use it with Go, PHP, Ruby, Rust etc when it comes to SSR (without running multiple servers and handling deployment nightmares).

Something about this whole Node + SSR Front-end is smelly. (next, nuxt, solidstart) I love Svelte as a framework and a way of writing UI, but SvelteKit. Eh! Not so much.

SvelteKit is too much complexity for no reason. Goes opposite of what Svelte was meant to be: Simple and intuitive.
Gandi blew trust in its offerings for me with the sudden change in charging for emails.

So I don't use Gandi for anything any more now, and write the odd comment about that, which is a shame as they did seem a decent enough company and provided a service I was happy to pay a little more than elsewhere for.
I don't know that much about the subject but I had an image for a website I was optimising and the avif version was 10x smaller than the png version, even after I'd run through the normal techniques to squeeze it down, and 3x smaller than the jpeg while still looking much better. That's a really significant saving.

Making an image your wallpaper isn't something people do every day, going through an extra step is hardly onerous. And support will increase until it no longer matters.
With that said, does anyone know of a good method to relearn math efficiently? I found it to be really hard to self-learn any math topic, most books repeat everything from the basics at the beginning like what a set is, and then suddenly turn into ultra-advanced with “the proof is trivial” all around.
I Think Faster Than Light Travel Is Possible. Here's Why [video]
Sure, but that's not the string_view's problem, you can't just make string_views, the string you want to borrow a view into needs to exist first.

Imagine you go to a library and insist on borrowing "My Cousin Rachel", but they don't have it. "Oh I don't care whether you have the book, I just want to borrow it" is clearly nonsense. If they don't have it, you can't borrow it.
The great resignation of Leadership in Cybersecurity
I'm no more of a fan of Sunak than (it appears that) you are, but you seem to be espousing a model of leadership that says "people can only opine on things that they have direct personal experience of".

That's clearly nonsense. In a well-run large organisation (which I definitely not saying the UK Government is!) leaders can legitimiately be provided with information that then informs their opinions; they can delegate topics to trusted subordinates to define policy; they can choose to 'sponsor' a topic to give it extra importance, without having done a personal deep-dive into the subject. This is just the reality of leading a large organsation.
This is available by default and integrates with existing tools (notably ktrace), making it easier to detect memory leaks on all platforms OpenBSD supports.
Most complaints about how hard it is to build a website these days, especially when it's a personal site or a blog, are actually complaints that the amount of effort necessary outweighs the reward you get from doing it. If the author's website got 10 million views a month and was a reason for Google's recruiters to be getting in touch he'd think it was a breeze and an incredibly valuable use of time.

Complexity has increased while engagement has dropped. I believe that's the reason for a lot of the 'problems'.
Windows multi-lingual custom keyboard layouts
This is the documentation I could find although it's not for 13 but Beta: https://beta.nextjs.org/docs/data-fetching/caching

They say there's a new `cache` function in React and they have patched `fetch` to use it by default (for GET requests).

Does this include a solution to the N+1 queries issue (container element requests a list of items, then item elements each request their details)? I see you can do pre-fetching, perhaps those can be batched.

EDIT: Found an example that uses DataLoader by "caching the cache". The src/api.ts module exports a cached DataLoader for characters, and src/components/CharacterAvatar.tsx imports and calls it during render simply like this:

const character = await characters().load(id);

Mentally, we seem to be able to adapt well to things that we can relate to what we 'should' know about. So roads are similar to naturally occurring tracks with landmarks.

This seems to break down when we deal with things without easily appreciated analogues e.g. black holes and quantum physics.

OTOH I don't know why we can pick up driving and cycling so easily. Some people instinctively know how to countersteer an oversteering car.
Correct. Pretty much any raspberry is not a good choice here.
Lula Says Brazil, China Can Change World Governance Together
How many coffees have you received?
Value is subjective, you can't point to x worker and calculate exactly how much "value they create" to the company, because many things a company does are not possible or nearly impossible by individuals. If you calculated how much value each employee brings in by subtracting what the company would have made in their absence, that would often result in being more than the company makes for most high skilled jobs.

That's why I said worth not value. You can define what a person thinks they are worth by asking them.
I've been a happy user of Fabulous.com for almost 2 decades now. Pretty happy, but it's designed for large domain name holders. I don't recall getting any ads ever. Easy to manage a lot of domains and if you qualify for low pricing, it's fantastic.
> Don't get me started on cars that display usage in kWh/h per 100km. Yes, you read that right.

ICEs use litres per 100km which I think is where this comes from. And I hate it. miles-per-gallon is much easier to understand I think. I wish we could have split the difference in the EU and just had km-per-litre. I'd rather know how far a tank will get me than how much fuel I'll use to travel exactly 100km
The same, at least in the remote-first org that I'm in

Remote still has teams and department with reporting lines and clusters of incentives, responsibility, and who communicates how often with whom and in what manner.

Link to the Microsoft keyboard layout editor. Can be used to create multi-lingual custom keyboard layouts which can be downloaded and distributed. My main use case is adding a few German characters on top of an US keyboard layout.
Going back, I have a clear memory of big events with global viewership being typically advertised with multiple time zones at a time. It was almost a bit of a marketing gag even for financial firms to have a ton of clocks up with labels displaying many different time zones.

So yes, no reason to chose 1 time zone and force readers to do mental math. Just list “London: , Tokyo: , Sydney: , LA: , NYC: , Lagos: , Singapore: , Mumbai: “ etc.
None of that is accessible in the normal user interface, nor is there an easy way to disable any of that stuff from happening in the first place. As said, we used to have buttons to disable Javascript, CSS, image loading and cookies straight in the main menu, no addons or developer tools needed.

We wouldn't have needed EU cookie banner laws if browser didn't stop making cookie storage obvious. Lynx is about the only browser left that still makes cookie storage an explicit action. A Stop button that actually stops a webpage from executing Javascript in the background would be welcome as well.

Browser have long given up trying to be document viewers that serve the user and just turned into advertisement displays.
Yes. The setup in the article is pretty inefficient.

We don't really use UTC in the US, so for most Americans it wouldn't actually tell them much of anything. EST & PST are the most common.
The main advantage should be proper base station handoff. If you have a house that can't be covered by a single wifi access point (or an office), then the normal approach is multiple APs with the same SSID. It's a bit of a hack though, you can't guarantee that your device is connected to the one with the best signal, particularly if you move around, and transitioning involves a connection drop.

Proper cellular radio does measurement of signal to surrounding basestations, and seamless handoff. If would have some advantages over wifi in a corporate environment.
I think the most immediate result of this will be that the CIA replaces Lula.

Which is occurring because of an initiative from around a decade ago. Initiatives and programmes for school improvement &c have a habit of persisting like zombies.
> Of course there are reasons, otherwise people/companies won't do it, and users won't use bloated browser that give them no benefits.

The reason is of course control. Things running in the browser gives Google control. That's why they push for everything running there. Want to compete with Google? Tough luck, no tracking for you while they give themselves IDs built into the browser. Do something Google doesn't like? Maybe your site isn't "safe" enough according to Google and won't be shown to users. Invested in your webapp but want to integrate something novel? Guess who gets to decide if you can?
From my time in the semi industry, when reporting issues for the erata, it depends who you are.

Are you some hobbyist or small company who sent your issue report to some generic company email address? Then your report most likely neve reached anyone on the team working on that chip, but probably reached some clueless jobsworth who didn't know what to do with it because large semi companies are highly siloed and there's no centralized management for such things, so you need direct contact with the team responsible for that chip.

If you're large customer, you then have direct email addresses of support engineers, application engineers and the engineers who worked on the chip itself, and so your reports will definitely taken seriously.

There's also another issue. There's public datasheets and eratas which are often not updated or fully transparent, and then there's confidential datasheets and eratas, which are updated and issued under NDA to industrial customers on a need to know basis. As a hobbyist you rarely get all the truthful info.

It's not ideal, but the semi industry mostly focuses on large customers who buy in large volumes of product, not on hobbyists and tinkerers.
I recall a similar exercise on my AP Calc exam from years ago.

Instead of sketching the derivative based on the graph of a function, we had to sketch the function based on a table of data which described the function as well as its first and second derivatives in terms of value, existence, and sign at various points and intervals.

Peru has been in the news recently because of the presidential attempt to seize power + protests.

I don't think you're wrong about coverage though. People are downvoting because they they think you're saying this is a good thing, but the fact is that no major media outlet regularly features stories from the non-BRICS developing world.
Its currently 6:10pm in Beijing. Its also 6:10pm everywhere else in China (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/china).

Because that's a country that doesn't use the imperial system and still insists its the same time as the eastern capital no matter where else in the country people happen to be.

Lets also mention that China is almost the same width as the US, probably larger to be fair.

This strongly resonates with my memory of Marshall McLuhan and his book Understanding Media: Extensions of man; Where he defines media as any extension of ourselves or our senses. Arguing that a car (but in essence) its wheels, are extensions of our legs, and by giving us the ability to traverse further faster shaped our perception and the evolution of society.

However it's a large book and I'll have to give it a reread since this is based on a vague recollection. But it's been in my mind more and more lately, especially with all the AI hype in the news.

It's not about the mental task. It's about selecting for a demgoraphic group that's more compliant and less likely to take risks. They want to lessen their chances of having egg on their face because they hired some young cowboy who, when faced with some impossible set of bureaucratic constraints decided he'd shirk whichever one of the conflicting restraints they didn't like rather than just take the KPI hit.

Ask HN: Generative AI: The Future of Content Creation Agencies?
As the world of technology continues to evolve, generative AI is making its way to the forefront. This begs the question, what will happen to content-focused digital agencies such as web design/development, content creation, and graphic design? Will they become obsolete or rise to new heights?

Let's explore the possibilities:

[1] It's possible that these agencies will become irrelevant as in-house teams take over most of the work. This could lead to a decline in demand for external agencies and a shift towards a more self-sufficient model.

[2] Alternatively, these agencies may face commoditization as digital freelancers from low-skill countries start producing work at the same quality level, removing any portfolio or skill-based competitive advantage.

[3] On the other hand, generative AI could allow agencies to increase their quality while reducing their costs, leading to better profitability for those who adapt and learn to use these tools effectively.

[4] Massive consolidation into AI platforms may also occur, either within each vertical or collectively in a single content creation platform.

[5] Please suggest

This is a fork of tptacek's 2015's Cryptographic Right Answers Gist [1]. I think the original 2015 file is somewhat better than this fork. The fork is more up-to-date, but just offers too many options and is probably to confusing for a beginner. As far as I know, the latest "official" update to Cryptographic Right Answers is the Latacora blog post from 2018 [2].

Both the the 2015 version of Right Answers and the OP best practice guide mention (non-extended) ChaCha20-Poly1305, but if you look at their order of priorities, using NaCl/libsodium/monocypher is always mentioned first. That gives you XSalsa20-Poly1305 (NaCl, libsodium default) or XChaCha20-Poly1305 (monocypher, optional for libsodium). the non-extended ChaPoly20 is mentioned as lower priority than the extended versions, but higher priority than AES-GCM, which also features short nonces.

The same argument goes for ECC. The actual "Use" line in the document mentions NaCl, libsodium and monocypher, all of them use X25519 by default, although monocypher does not seem to offer an asymmetric encryption primitive. The main issue is the confusing language talking about ECC, when we know than some ECC (yes, I'm looking at you ECDSA) is not strictly better than RSA [3].

None of the answers in the OP guide seems wrong per se (I didn't review this thoroughly FWIW and I'm not an expert). But I'm still recommending this one, since it's simpler, and "simpler" is the entire point of this kind of guide. You want to avoid programmers shooting themselves in the foot - and shooting yourself in the foot is really easy when you're implementing cryptography.

Why is that something to hold against LLMs? They're making a ton of progress and will probably significantly improve the productivity of e.g. paralegals. The fact they're not legal persons and our rules against unauthorised practice of law mean they're not going to be in courtrooms any time soon even if hypothetically they were twice as good as defense attorney work (they aren't, right now). A technology can be really impressive and indeed revolutionary without making literally every job redundant. That seems like an absurdly high bar to hold anything to.
