"I just want to see how European people see the world." - Here is a German perspective:

Do you think more than 50%, or even more than 20%, of the contact details in that data want to be contacted in this manner?

It's stressful having to discard spam for at least an hour later on a Friday than in times past, when you would rather be with your family - I can't see a way this helps the world. I can assure you multiple side projects I run have never given consent to you or other similar services, yet are continuously spammed in this manner.

If you don't care about the receivers, think of the organic and legitimate senders that are not using such GPT-spam techniques. I now discard a higher proportion of people as false positives - perhaps local students keen to learn - who contact me genuinely, because of services like yours.

To truly reflect, imagine this scenario: Would you be up for going to a careers fair in Germany, entirely populated with young people, feeling sad, never having met or heard back a word of advice, because of your changes to human communication? People who never asked or heard of your US "tool".
Personally I prefer pinch zoom for input precision instead of overly mobile design.

Some places stipulates that if you return within some number of months after being laid off, you forfeit a prorated amount of your severance. This may make returning to the same company significantly less attractive.
IANAL. My understanding of how ACP (typically) works with email is that it requires the communication to be solely between one individual and an attorney. Since the header is not covered by ACP, these get challenged very quickly.
CREW is not Comey. The facts in this case are not identical to the facts in the Clinton case. Yes, the Clintons should be held accountable for their misdeeds, Bush and Obama for their war crimes, Trump for his plethora of financial crimes and abuses of power. But Thomas shouldn't get off just because you think somebody else deserves it more.
> the fetus is a person then aborting them is denying other people's freedom.

Even if it is a person, you completely fail to take into account the mother as a living human being.

Should we save someone in need of a kidney by forcing someone else to give up one of theirs? Not even another person’s life worth more than forcing away the freedom to bodily autonomy - and pregnancy does take an insanely huge toll on the women’s body, so she should be the only arbiter in deciding what she does with it. And “she chose to have sex” is not a valid argument, it is basic human need, and even with protection it is not 100% safe, shit happens.

Of course no sane person talks about aborting in like the 8th months or so, but early enough it is absolutely not a huge deal, especially that not doing so would just break two people - a mother that didn’t want to become one, and an unloved child.. who does it benefit?

Just an anecdote and not necessarily representative of the majority, in certain areas, teaching has taken on cult-like characteristics. Teachers engage in a radical cycle of self-sacrifice, constantly striving for virtuous superiority over their colleagues, often to the detriment of their own financial and emotional well-being. This mindset justifies exponentially increasing demands each year, requiring teachers to sacrifice more of themselves in the name of what is best for the children. District administrations, influencers, unions, and politicians seem to be enabling this as much as possible in order to cut costs (financially and risk). If one questions this approach, they may be labeled not only as ineffective in their profession, but also as morally deficient for putting children's futures at risk. From afar it appears as toxic nightmare that undermines a better education system.
You could test that yourself. Ask the model to code, build, test, and iterate. Does it do a better job?

No heat means no power usage (unless we also find a way around the laws of thermodynamics), so no superconductors aren't going to make your laptop magically not heat up. It could help a bit with power lines going to transistors, but to do actual computions we need to consume power and thus generate heat.

Good points.

For security concerns, you would probably be selective about which services and workloads you move to cloud compute, possibly preferring to offload internal services like CI before customer data.

Regarding cost, are you implying that there's large monetary cost to preserving the ability to spin up cloud workers in an emergency, or just that once you do it's expensive per day to keep them running? Presumably if you're running an on-prem cluster for cost reasons, you would work to scale it up quickly after an unexpected sustained demand spike, and the cloud supplement would be temporary. If you're getting "unexpected" spikes every week, you need to work harder at forecasting.

In any case, I suspect today that people running on-prem clusters provision them with the intent of being able to handle a load growth and keep weekly average utilization at <60% during the spike. Investing in building infrastructure that keeps working smoothly when weekly average load is 90-100% means you can provision a smaller cluster either way.
Yes, they were. Back in WWII, pretty much every companies were in the war effort. IBM made rifles and Ford made bombers (B-24s).
> So you think it is okay that the government trampled on the free speech rights of rappers

Did they though? I mean, to be clear, I'm sure they tried. But both back then and now, the songs were easy to get and is still easy to get. If anything, the whole affair Streisand Effected the hell out of them.

I think the story's a good example of a failed attempt at abuse of power because the system of checks and balances worked (it would have failed harder but for a single, powerful, monolithic corporation agreeing with the goal and de-stocking the product from its shelves).

> Well the difference is that no corporation has ever stopped me because I “looked suspicious” because I was walking through my own neighborhood that I looked like I didn’t belong

No; they merely cut access to your account because you look suspicious, such as having pictures in your private Drive account that their algorithm decided were child pornography, locking up or deleting all data you had hosted by them, with no recourse and no hope of retrieval. Google's within their rights to cut an account, but there's no arguing there's a difference in kind of the experience someone online has if they have a Google account vs. being banned from having one. It's not nearly as bad as government abuse of power; it's really quite bad, and only government has the authority to make it better because the corporations are otherwise unaccountable.

> Nor does it have qualified immunity

Who backstops the terms of service violation system? When Google demonetizes trans-friendly or trans-inclusive content because their inscrutable TOS and algorithm decide such content is "sexually explicit" (read: offends the sensibilities of schoolboards and advertisers), who has the power to say that's not what that term means? Nobody. I guess with YouTube, we can always take our business to its competitor, doesnt-exist.com.

> I have agency to not be under the auspices of any corporation

Yes; you have the digital equivalent of the freedom to live in a van down by the river, banished from the nice neighborhoods. Vive Liberte.

(To be clear, I don't have concrete answers here. There are no easy answers; it's a complicated problem. But that means the answer also isn't as easy as "Government already has too much power." Perhaps it currently has too much of the wrong kind of power, and not enough of the right kind).
That's an interesting theory. I don't know if this helps you draw a distinction but you may find this this paper by the NIH interesting, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4153434/

They state that generally females are diagnosed adhd-pi higher, but there may be other factors. However, Females are generally diagnosed less with autism:

(From wikipedia) "Several theories exist to explain the sex-based discrepancy, such as a genetic protective effect,[7][8][9] the extreme male brain theory[10][11] and phenotypic differences in the presentation between sexes,[9][12][13][14] which may all be intertwined. Researchers have also debated whether a diagnostic gender bias has played a role in females being underdiagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.[15] Researchers have also speculated a gender bias in parental reporting due to the expectations and socialization of gender roles in society.[16]"

Thought I would indulge your theory, and give more food for thought.

Nobody disagrees with that. The point is that space exploration doesn't have to be done from badly positioned and barebones launch sites if much better alternatives have existed for decades.

My primary way to interact with Archive Box for such purposes is by calling it on the command line. Scripts may be used to obtain the URLs of interest from any source.

When I started with Archive Box I had some existing downloaded Websites from ScrapBook and Save Page WE already. I used some hacky scripts to extract the URLs from the respective pages and overwrite Archive Box' downloaded copies by my original copies as to make it work for pages that had been deleted in the meantime. All my data sources were local/desktop though.

They're not really working in that scenario - they are fund raising for their group which may be considered an exercise in interacting with other people, marketing, selling, and the value of money that helps their organization.

Let me take a moment to remind everyone that OTG is the monopolistic food distributor that puts ipads as sales points in _all_ seating at the gates in JFK - not just the restaurant seating. If you want to sit at your gate, you must be advertised to.

When I've turned the ipad around or covered the ipad's camera with a napkin, a worker has come by and forced me to face the ipad's camera back at me, even if I'm not buying anything. Dystopian.
Can the exponential probability increase mentioned by LeCun be mitigated, for example with an approximation?

Lots of algorithms like nearest neighbor search are O(n^2) but algorithms for approximate results run in sublinear time.
Interesting idea, but goes a bit too far for me. I'd prefer it if it just removed stuff, rather then rewriting.
Is this a significant reduction in Walmart availability in Chicago or is this like the recent stories that Walmart is closing all its stores in Portland Oregon?

In the Portland case it was indeed true that they are closing all their stores that are actually in the city of Portland. But in the Portland metro area there are something like 10 Walmarts with only one or two actually in Portland. For the closing ones just go a couple miles down the road and there is another one.
> Nobody uses it in Latin America

As silly as Latinx is, I don’t think that’s a valid argument. Nobody uses the term “Italian American” in Italy either. It’s quite specific to Latin-American populations in the USA
Personally, don't see how modifying anything on the client matters. Actual site and service is a series of authenticated API calls that trigger actions on their server side. None of those meaningful things are modified, only the client layer/ dressing so to speak.
I agree. I don't like booking.com's sales tactics but otherwise they're an excellent aggregator. Sort of like Amazon. I don't like that they promote their own branded stuff over competitors but I still use them.

The problem is that capitalism directly leads to centralisation for efficiency. Honestly not sure how that is solvable without massive changes to society.

I'm well aware of the time value of money, thanks for that.

What I'm suggesting is that there may be societal value in building long-running, small-footprint, 24/7, low-carbon electricity generation that is not fully captured at this time by the dollars-only investor metric of LCOE.

In other words, LCOE is from a banker's perspective. What we need is a measure of societal value. We want to measure sustainable prosperity, not simply monetary returns on investment.
This is cool but I just mentally filter all this out already, no extension needed.
Sure there are religions, but I'm asking about the political movement. Are there strides from any parties attempting to ban abortion to also ban IVF?

The reason I'm asking is pretty simple - I believe that many, many people are simply "for births", and politicians capitalize on that. They won't go against IVF since it leads to more births, but they go against abortions because they lead to fewer. Do you have any evidence going against this?
I don't. There simply isn't any tooling or literature to speak of. I have some experience using control engineering in my electronics projects and that's how I came up with the idea to use it for backend systems. I have researched and developed everything myself. I have used "Modern Control Engineering" by Katsuhiko Ogata, but really, mostly I just learned from the Internet.

My initial motivation was to remove configuration. I have found, historically, that giving people options to configure very complex software more often than not results in problems, especially after original developers leave. More often than not these new people will not understand the implications or interactions between various settings and this will just cause problems. So my aim became to remove any options from the software and make sure it can perform autonomously and recover from wide range of, possibly unknown, situations. Which is exactly what control engineering is about if you think about it!
I agree in terms of discrimination but what you wrote sounds more extreme than that and I don’t know that I’d agree. I think American society has a lot to learn from the strong social bonds of “third world”* countries. For example, families and friends are very tight knit and, for example, raise children as a community. I was listening to a podcast where, for example, in Israel if a man sees a child by themselves crying it’s socially acceptable to pick them up and try to comfort them and help them find their parents. The same behavior in the West can get you jailed (heck - letting your kids play outside by themselves can get you into legal hot water)

* BTW originally just meant unaligned in the Cold War (the Soviet Union-allied being “second world” countries). It transformed socially to “other” and look down on countries with a different way of life just because those countries didn’t manage to industrialize and advance as rapidly as first-world countries (but neither did second-world countries).
Like I said, you might not hear the difference as the English language does not assign meaning to that difference.

A physical experiment you can try from the Wikipedia article:

> to feel or see the difference between aspirated and unaspirated sounds, one can put a hand or a lit candle in front of one's mouth, and say spin [spɪn] and then pin [pʰɪn]. One should either feel a puff of air or see a flicker of the candle flame with pin that one does not get with spin.
I'm glad this has worked for you. Do you understand that many, many people can't just walk away from things? And further, do you understand that talking so broadly but with only your experience in mind may not come across well to others with different experiences?
I worked in a factory for a few months as a temp and a bunch of my co-workers that had been with the company for years had this exact thing happen to them, a few years after the 2008 crash. I believe it was a little different in that people were asked to take the change in their classification or leave, rather than being let go and then hired back separately. I know engineers that work outside of software that had to take mandatory unpaid time for the same reasons. I guess we just need to hope we end up with that "soft-ish" landing the Fed was talking about instead of a big recession or we're going to hear a lot more stories like this.

WebP and AVIF introduced a bifurcation between general purpose image formats and ‘end user final display formats’ (i.e. internet delivery to consumer entertainment devices). I don't think this is a good thing.
Posts that are critical of Musk do get flagged quite often in my observation, e.g. posts around various pieces of Twitter drama caused by Musk. That part is intentional by HN, as these posts tend to produce rather low quality discussions and in the end are almost always the same. I don't particularly like how this rule results in a kind of criticism shield for Musk and similar cases, but I understand why HN has it.

This case is different in my opinion and should not be flagged because it is about a new topic that I would consider interesting on its own. Of course it'll get bogged down a bit like all discussions with Musk as part of the topic. But by far not as bad as posts about Musk himself.

One key relevant difference between the Picosystem/RP2040 and a '97 PC is available RAM and video RAM, the RP2040 has only 264KB of any fast RAM (excluding external flash which has DMA and XiP but is still comparably slow).

Whereas a '97 PC would be in the many tens of MB or possibly hundreds, and at least a few MB dedicated VRAM on a video card. So not an equivalent comparison really, this is a much more constrained environment.
The first hit in Google for "latex mathml converter" is https://temml.org/ . The list of supported LaTeX constructs looks fine, but the output… The example LaTeX converts to 67 lines of MathML. The vectors (arrows above B, l, E) are built like this:

<mover>
<mi>B</mi>
<mo stretchy="false" style="transform:scale(0.75) translate(10%, 30%);">→</mo>
</mover>

But the hat above n is:

<mover>
<mi>n</mi>
<mo stretchy="false" style="math-style:normal;math-depth:0;">^</mo>
</mover>

Markdown is great, but I can always take the HTML produced by a Markdown→HTML converter and edit it by hand, since HTML is human-readable and human-editable. MathML is neither.

The output of MathML is also uglier than KaTeX’s, with wonky spacing. In Firefox, there’s an ugly space after all \d's (derivative sign). It’s better in Edgium, but there is still an ugly space in \d\vec{l}.

If I need an intermediary tooling/format for math, I’d prefer beautiful LaTeX-esque output, and keep LaTeX code that wold be converted by KaTeX on the fly to whatever ugly HTML is required.

The governments of the two authoritarian countries under discussion were responsible for two of the largest mass murders in history.

Your apologies for some of the greatest criminals in history not withstanding, my original comment referred to the concept of a good civic education. There was some debate in the responses about what that constitutes. I think it includes a comparative analysis of various systems of government and how people under those systems fare. What we can say about the systems in the USSR and China is that as a matter of undisputed fact, people living under those systems are poorer and more likely to be subject to arbitrary detention or execution than the typical citizens of the world's democratic countries. A good civic education will teach that because it is a fact. A bad civic education will use propaganda to conceal facts like those.
> and the maximum dimensions of a coded image is 65536x65536

As pointed out in another comment, this is less of 65536 by 65536 and more of 65536* by 65536* if you followed some more complicated steps. Considering that the original JPEG supports that without relying internally on multiple images (the trick AVIF used to "support" the full 65536 by 65536), it seems not suitable for software which writes images in one pass.
