I have carved stuff - it's fun, and doesn't require a huge amount of strength. With a little guidance you can make lovely stuff, really quickly.

You don't carve it with "chips" you know - you use a knife... Or an axe. Such as the one I mentioned, explicitly. Multiple times now.

But those trees are extremely hard to find now; illegal to chop down, in most parts of the west. We already cut down the vast, vast, vast majority of them. I've said that at least 3 times.

Yes, my words are something - maybe you could read them? You never know, you might learn something.

...

Do you think people didn't use furniture until we had cities? Spoiler: We sure did.

Do you think the only reason neolithic people spent hours knapping knives and axes was for fun / murder? It wasn't. They made stuff.

You think those people sat on the dirt their whole lives? Nope. We know this, because we have surviving examples of stone furniture - usually where wood was scarce...

Do you still think craftspeople don't appreciate solid wood furniture? ... They do. Ask them.

Or that all craftspeople would prefer the composite pine of an IKEA piece? Or that the IKEA piece would last longer? Nah. Not even close.

...

For well over a million years of our history, we had plenty of time to sit by the roaring fire, carving things and telling stories, singing songs. It wasn't all ooga-booga in caves you know.

And while we did this, making things, we got real good at it. We had damn near the exact same brain. It's rather arrogant, and ignorant, to think that those things they made were garbage compared to an IKEA POANG... You don't really think that, do you?

We have pictures, carved in stone, of furniture from 2500 years ago. It kicks ass - it's gorgeous. Nothing in IKEA compares, either in ornamentation or build quality.

> Let them know how long it took, and how that time and effort ought to be considered "inexpensive."

My brother in crust, I've explained at least 4 times now, including in the original comment, that I was using the word free as in free + labour. You can't keep trying to beat me with that stick; it's silly.
Amazon Raises Investor Fears of Continued Slowing Cloud Growth
Will be interesting to see if WebGPU opens the door to viable WASM/WebGPU first driven Web UIs.

I guess the main downside at the moment are limitations like not being able to issue http requests from within the wasm sandbox, and payload size of the wasm itself. Of course UI rendering code can and should be separated out from business logic... but then the level of complexity of maintaining JS/WASM together makes it all seem not very worthwhile... I'd rather just do it all within a single language.

Still, likely to get widespread adoption for DataViz style widgets/games.

> The passage particularly about his date not appreciating his oration of T.S. Eliot's Wasteland is particularly, and forgive the term, cringey.

I think it's great for two reasons: (1) It's funny because of how ridiculous it is. Go on a Tinder date, go back, hook up, and then go through the Wasteland and she couldn't be less interested. (2) It's as clear an example as you can get of where we are at as a culture: sex, alienation, not a care in the world for substance.

> It reads awfully judgemental.

It is.

> Maybe she doesn't like Eliot, maybe he read poorly, etc...

Lol, no.

> All I'm saying is this article really seems to do Anna dirty.

It is not about "Anna" specifically. The example is about a general pattern.
The biggest problem the talmud has in my opinion is that most people have such a distorted view of religion that the talmud is out of reach.
I find it very worthwhile for framing human interactions and worth more study.

I don’t know whether it’s the medium or the current offerings but I was gifted an Oculus, played with it for under a week, and haven’t gone back to it. Maybe VR will be a thing in the future but somehow I’m not seeing it now.

Anyone else in a similar boat? Or have a theory why it’s less compelling than a traditional gaming console?
Ask HN: Experience Working at Craigslist?
I'm curious about anyone's experience working there. Even though it's apparently highly profitable and stable, it's rarely discussed in the same way as FAANGs. This could be due to its relatively small number of employees. Perhaps also linked to lower salary potential than the large tech corporations, which seems to be the primary motivation for most tech employees under about 30-35 years old

The dongles have weekly limits too, I think. I remember staying in an AirBnB that came with a 4G dongle for the guest, but the week's quota had been spent by the previous guest.
So we should talk about that one that maybe was not a total disaster, but we should not talk about the three others that have been. I notice a lot of no true Scotsman rhetoric by nuclear people in general: France is proof we can build nuclear fast, but they didn't do it right by not maintaining properly. Germany is proof we can run nuclear plants efficiently, but they are incompetent for not being able to make it work. Etc. etc. If only the French had done this or that. But in the end it does not work.

You don't have to repeat anything, I heard you the first time. Flamanville cost a 1/10 of the Energiewende and its output is 0. Its theoretical output is 1/25 of the actual output of German renewables. That's not a good deal. If the goal is to decarbonize, Flamanville is already a failure, for reasons I already posted.
"No, I do not honor robots.txt files when scraping data."
Yeah this is nonsense. If not for hardware considerations, probably some bureaucratic nonesense. Disputes between teams, or suppliers*, something fell through the cracks because it was nobody's problem; stuff like that.

Probably not because they lack 10x l33t coding skills, and have fat fingers.

* I'm not sure if people realize that many automotive dev teams are buying enormous stacks of software from outside parties that often have motivation to throw you under the bus... if it's not an external supplier, it's probably another team on a different continent... but maybe it's different in infotainment?
The only thesis you actually advanced in that polemic word salad around the quote is that he didn't think absolutely everything about democracy was 100% perfect. No one is making that claim here.
Hello! I usually look at all my apps that have notifications turned on which Are usually

-Gmail, For work ofc

Code review works. Ok, yeah I'd say that is the one practice which I've seen consistently tied to high(er) quality work.

Article is pretty handwavy about epistemology and just things generally. But I'd say not all code reviews are equal, and that the best ones aren't about the code (in the way that baseball is not about bats and balls) and are instead about people learning to talk to each other, about code. Probably also about how that "campfire" provides a venue to discuss other institutional lore and hence culture.
- Hacker news probably once or twice a day

I really wish ipfs worked better. Keep the Internet Archive as the object store of last resort, but also provide an easy way for anyone to contribute storage and hosting to the network in a few clicks (with a reasonable expectation that the images they are mirroring are filtered for DMCA / illegal content).

I would happily donate a few terabytes, and a fat internet connection.
It's still going under Automattic and still profitable. Is somewhat smaller, but since Twitter is going badly it might grow again.

I look at history as what the world thinks rather than just one country, and still Armenian Genocide history was a close call. Took a long time for other countries (over 100y for the US) to recognize it due to fear of retaliation, and Ottoman Empire was debatably not even a "winner."

This is one of the areas of LLMs that I find most interesting. So far, I've found simple question-answering over vectorstores to be a lackluster experience. In particular, the more information you embed and stick into the vectorstore, the less useful the system becomes as you are less likely to get the information you're looking for (especially if the users don't understand their queries need to look like the docs the want to ask about.

I haven't had a chance to try out hypothetical embedded docs yet, but I expect they only provide a marginal improvement (especially if QAing over proprietary data or information).

I'd love to see any other interesting, more up-to-date resources anyone has found on this topic. I found this recent paper interesting: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.11062
What a strange take. It reads as "nothing is worth improving on if it cannot 100% completely replace the thing that we're trying to get rid of". If we can reduce our dependence (say 50%) on a power source that has huge negative externalities, isn't that a worthwhile effort?
<meta property="og:description" content="Search the web privately ...">

Would be nice if Brave did not require SNI since this is considered a privacy concern by some folks.^1 Anyone sniffing the wire can see all the domain names to which the SNI user is connecting.^3 The other search engines do not require SNI, e.g., Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, GigaBlast, Qwant, etc.

1. One example would be Cloudflare. Because some folks see SNI as a privacy concern, Cloudflare used to offer ESNI which was a way to encrypt SNI. It has since been discontinued while we wait for ECH. Some HN commenters will often try to argue that SNI is irrelevant to users without offering any evidence to support. Watch for it. For example, China found SNI was relevant enough to block ESNI. Apparently, China found it preferable to use SNI than to use only IP addresses, which of course are easy for websites to change. Go figure.

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls/Dae-cukKMqfzmTT4Ks...

SNI can be used for censorship purposes, among other things. Many search engines work without SNI. But not Brave.

NB. As I understand it, these browsers do not allow the user to enable/disable SNI on a per site basis; in some of them it is not even possible to disable SNI at all.^2 TLS might enable the user to hide web pages from the proverbial "MITM", but with SNI enabled it will not allow them to hide web sites.

2. Thus, even when Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, GigaBlast, Qwant, Mojeek, etc., and millions of other websites do not require the user to send SNI in order to return SERPs or other pages, these browsers send it anyway. Brilliant.

3. SNI is different than DNS. DNS lookups can be done at a different time from when a user connects, if the user ever does connect. (Popular browsers are not good for this, of course.) Unlike DNS, SNI proves the user actually connected. Strangely, much effort has gone into encrypting DNS, while SNI, and to some extent TLS prior to version 1.3, leaks these same domain names on the wire, unencrypted.
Whenever I read something related to the two Voyager probes I feel a little bit sad about them since they’re out there on their own. At the same time I feel pride for humanity as a species, since we managed to send these two probes so far away.

> emulate some form of artistic writing style for effect

No, this is just how I write...

> it is an argument from emotion

It is my personal experience.

> that is a hell of a claim, and the author treats it as completely self-evident.

The next two sentences clarify why I make this claim: "Courage enables us to uphold other virtues, and it is the defining factor of potential: much of the difference between what your life is and what it could be comes down to your valor in trying moments." Sure, there isn't a "data-based approach here," but maybe you can catch my drift...?

> neither is going out to the bar/club/etc looking for a one night stand

Agree with this. I could have expanded on it more, but I wanted to limit the piece to dating apps.

> none of those apps were optimizing for romance anyway

This is the problem: everyone uses them; they take away romance; culture without romance no good.
May be you should prove your smartness first, rather than the one which has already proven his.

I am still not sure about the exact role of Gaussian elimination. I thought that it will be somehow necessary, but it seems that if you only break linear equations to 3 variables per equation (by adding extra variables), you can get away without it. Although it certainly doesn't hurt to do it, I think for efficient algorithms, it will be required (and so the whole endeavor will be at least O(n^3)).

To prevent exponential increase in linear terms, I work within a sort of limited logic that only allows formulas that are ORs of (implications between) two linear equations of up to 2 variables. This logic accommodates both 2-SAT clauses and linear clauses of 3 variables, and seems to be able to emulate Gaussian elimination to some extent, but I am not yet completely sure how. Last week, I think I was able to generalize Krom's proof of refutable-completeness for 2-SAT logic (that has linear equations on 1 variable) to this logic, but I am in the process of double checking my result for gotchas like this.

There are other ideas how to control the linear terms, once you have the linear equations solved, it's easy to verify whether some variables are linearly dependent, because you have the basis, and modify the ordinary 2-SAT algorithm accordingly (2-SAT works by propagation via transitive dependency of literals, but if the 3 variables involved are linearly dependent, then you can derive lot more). These are mainly ideas how to make the polynomial algorithm even more efficient.

And thanks for encouragement!
In a quasirandom selection of the hundreds of instances of the term being used on this site, there are none that you claimed broke the site guidelines or you characterized as namecalling. Can you point to a single time, before my comment, that characterizing something as pseudoscience has been deemed namecalling? Or deemed to break the site guidelines?
oh man, haha, who ever thought this was a good idea…

They could have made the tower taller and the launch mount correspondingly higher to allow room for a diverter below the launch mount.
I mean, the practical impact of this seems to be that the lower limit of where you can use a SAT solver or an LP solver to solve your problems increases by about a factor of 10 (or 100 at most). That's very useful, but still pretty small, and generally too small to really be useful on the hard problems that P = NP was "supposed" to crack. If this algorithm were able to be parallelized, that would be a different story.

Also, I assume most people would not go through 3SAT to MAX2SAT, they would just reduce directly there.

Not at all. I thought it was salient and very much what I wanted to know about. It seems there will be a heck of a lot of comments saying 'this is so awesome!' and this isn't a field where I'm able to look at the answer and immediately see the list of howling errors and hallucinations, so I'm very glad somebody can.

It's all very well expecting the hallucinations, but specificity beats Ludditeism every day. My gut reaction was 'ho boy, I'd better not trust this' but I didn't have the domain knowledge to understand why the GPT advice was dangerous. You did.
Qt and Swing are pretty good at "not quite native but close enough" in practice, IMO. I would take either one over a web or Electron app that completely disregards native UX and rolls it own, which is typical of them.

A sales contract is always a bilateral agreement between two clubs. Hence you cannot stipulate that the selling club will earn a share in ALL future sales of the player. Only a law could do that.
You are both saying the same thing.

The hotel has a room they want to sell for $100 a night. They can list it on their website for $100 a night, and after paying credit card processing fees, they get to keep the remainder.

The hotel now lists the same room on one of the booking sites that charges a x% fee for facilitating the transaction and providing discovery for the hotel (getting the room in front of interested customers). The hotel can either take a x% haircut, or charge x% more. So that same room might be $110 per night now instead of $100.

It's a business decision, and not all operators will make the same one, naturally.
Yes, you would. Whether speech is racist or not is a characteristic of the speech, not determined by the speaker’s skin colour.
Great article but I’m left with that it doesn’t actually address the title. Academically what is the epistemology of software quality? I sense it’s also related to practices of software craftsmanship, of which taking care of yourself and your sleep could be interpreted to fit within a broader goal of “improving my quality as a software developer”.

Quitting is better.

From an individual perspective, switching jobs is the simplest and most effective way to improve your situation, and will likely get you more money than a union could negotiate for.

From a group perspective, a culture where quitting is normalized generates similar benefits to unions. Employers will make concessions and raise salaries if they have too much trouble retaining good people.

Yes, you will need to write the tokenizer to behave in the dialect you are trying to write poetry in. An alternate approach is to filter on the output side by writing a sampler that only allows acceptable outputs. I think it would be easier to handle the ambiguous ones that way, because instead of encoding the ambiguity directly in the input or output stream, the sampler can just allow either pronunciation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92hyQJRcFpM https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Genera...
