It’s 2023. Companies: you’ve raised prices, made service worse, reduced customer service. If you continue to penny pinch, it really doesn’t take much for me to cancel and never come back. You’re not a landlord or an energy provider: I don’t need you. Screw your greed.
Sometimes these edits can be pretty subtle as well: a while ago my wife and I started watching the original early-90s Beverly Hills 90210 on one of the streaming platforms. It’s a kind of absurd and fun pop-cultural time capsule of a show. After a few episodes, though, I started to realize there was something not quite right.

It turns out that much of the music featured in the original airing of the show wasn’t licensed in a way it could be used long term, and over the years it has been replaced with terrible stock songs or jarringly anachronistic choices that sound totally out of place.

Entire scenes and episodes have been cut from the seasons distributed on streaming platforms, because they featured live concerts that couldn’t be edited. The original had performances by the Flaming Lips, among many others, that simply can’t be watched now, except if by chance someone copied an old VHS to YouTube.

Music was a big part of the original show–in addition to the live shows it featured all sorts of great pop songs from the time, which was part of why it was such a hit with teenagers when it aired. It’s such a bummer they stripped it all out!

There are some places online with copies of early DVD releases that have more music, but still not all of it. The original is locked away in a vault somewhere and almost certainly won’t ever be enjoyed in a complete state.
Correct, I cant speak for all the world. In the United States, only a party to a phone conversation may record that call. Some states have stronger requirements than that, requiring all parties to consent.

The phone company can't listen to your phone calls and there is definitely no public expectation or journalists demanding that AT&T and others do something about preventing crimes that used a phone by recording all calls and passing them through a Crime Detector (TM).
> 1. Coal was turned on because France messed up their nuclear fleet

Not true. France had their nuclear fleet in limbo, unable to know how to plan due to EU rules saying X amount of energy must be generated from a green source. Sadly EU (well Germany) blocked that for many years, causing France to be stuck in a position of unable to invest or develop its nuclear energy (which btw they used to export lots, including to Germany). https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-to-veto-eu-plan-to-l...

That got fixed in the end, as long as they agreed to label Gas as green energy generation, which Germany wanted and indeed, needed to comply with EU rules they help create.

You could say Germany handicapped France and held them to ransom, you could say that, but to say France messed up would be utterly unfair with the full context at play.
I think you both can be right.
I'm not sure if that's supposed to contradict my point, but I don't think an iPhone user earning $100k is skipping a model, upgrading only every 2.6y, because they can't afford to upgrade faster.
That’s a good thing.

I do like C but there’s no denying that it makes it ridiculously easy to fuck up. Whereas Pascal enforces correctness. Some view that as annoying verbosity but you can’t please all the people all the time.
Take a look at the chart you provided "Prevalences of various conditions that have been called intersex"

Why does it have a "Sex specificity" column? Why does it contain the words male and female?
This paper is a very good advertisement for Krohn-Rhodes theory, which shows how automata decompose into simpler automata. I think it's a somewhat obscure topic within math (among people who aren't semigroup theorists), so I was happy to be exposed to it.

It's a bit shocking that they got Transformers to actually learn the theoretical low depth algorithms for simulating automata, but looking closer at their results we can see that the parts that I would intuitively think are hard to learn (i.e. learning parity) are fairly brittle.
Your narrative doesn't matter in the real world.
I actually meant exactly this. People apply ML to their domains and say thay that this is similar to having a chemist with a PhD.

Yep agreed. If you raise a flag, you'll be looking for work. Head down and build crap, and you have a job for life. I see it all the time. I've lived it.

I believe many scholars said the goal of ISIS was to shock the mind, because shock creates abstract entities in the power of observers that can be used to wrestle control of and over them.

It was easier to terrify people into surrendering their mind than to defeat them physically (and have them surrender their SUV in the art example).

Well, a language that's friendly to newbies will also be used by newbies (also leading to some projects or code that are maybe not that good), so more advanced developers (or those who consider themselves more advanced) will have a tendency to turn their nose up. Something similar is currently going on with Rust vs. Go I suspect...

Nobody hates python?

The more I use julia, the more I hate python. Which is a lot by now.
In 1990, Nuclear power contributed to about 1800PJ/15000PJ of primary energy consumption, or about 12%.

Last year, solar+wind was 6%, or half that.

Then there is a large chunk from "biomass", which is all sorts of stuff, some good for the environment and some that are as dirty as most fossil fuels, but labeled "biomass" to greenwash them. (One of the worst cases, at least globally, would be firewood, especially in terms of local polution.)

At best, "renewables" can be counted to 17.2% for 2022, at worst it's about 6%.

Also, in absolute terms, total energy consumption in Germany has gone down, for several different reasons, but that would have happened anyway, it's not due to wind and solar.

> By all measures

In other words, it really depends on what measures you look at whether or not my statement was true.

I suppose I could be been more concise, though. What I meant, was that new clean energy (meaning primarily wind + solar) has AT BEST only replaced the clean nuclear energy that was available in 1990.

So in terms of available clean energy, simply maintaining those plants (or replace them when they could no longer be maintained) would have provided the same benefit as the massive investments in wind and solar (and those biomass types that are clean).

Still, a reduction in gross consumption is also a good thing, and _some_ of this may be connected to the increase in prices.

Then again, simply enforcing a carbon tax would achive the same.
Still far from Telegram's usability. You can run it anywhere.
Even bind it to a liburple plugin with TDlib. Or an SSH server with
nchat.
Thus, you can use it from Bitlbee under a Raspberry Pi with a Pentium era potato connected to it using BitchX/Mirc or even Amiga/Atari/Classic Macs with any IRC client.
if you do this right, you heat the ground in the summer when you run ac which partially balances it out.
One of things I really like about Python is the huge standard library.
Contrary to JavaScript (which I think is a really weird recommendation), where you need to npm install half the world.
You mapped the numbers between 0 and 1 that have a finite number of decimals, like 0.123123425736289

But there are many more real numbers between 0 and 1 that have an infinite number of decimals, like 0.1231234736876578632786278365782635879281987087420...

As jgreen says in a sibling comment, which number do you assign to 1/3 = 0.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333... ?

The result you got is well known but interesting, because it's unintuitive. Moreover with some tricks you can try to extend your method to all fractions, like 1/3, 5/7, 27/127, ...

The problem is that there are irrational numbers like pi, sqrt(2), ... and many other numbers that we have assigned no friendly name. Those "unfriendly" numbers are the actual problem.
It’s less to do with limitations of the language and more to do with variations in compilers (each vendor wanting to add their own flair to sell their compiler) and a lack of standards.

You saw the same with C and C++ before they were standardised.
"People want to have powerful apps in their browser"

There is something rotten in that statement. No, you absolutely don't have to use such power in the browser. There is a reason we have a thing called an operating system.
PascalABC seems to only target dot NET though.
>Maybe there will someday be telemetry in USB sticks. We'll see. Meanwhile...

I have had experiences where putting in a USB stick automatically installs malware on the computer.
Yeah... I guess they do. I could've done without the last sentence.
There are issues with crime of course, but aren't these "vacant" downtowns ripe for a transformation with mixed use living, etc?

I see a lot of new apartments (I shudder to mention Adam Neuman's new venture Flow as an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(real_estate_company)) that are combinations of work and life and after-work life.

People won't be building those in the suburbs, can you imagine the NIMBY fights? It will take a little bit of time to convert them, but aren't dense cities going to come out in an interesting way? SF has so much to offer geographically.
(posted this a couple of times and it doesn't seem to be visible. Reposting without a piece that might be causing me to be censored, lol.)

Anne Frank's diary was published in 1947. It is a historical document very important to the history of the 20th century, critically important if we consider documents accessible to high-school students and widely taught to them. The original version, and all subsequent versions until 1995 (when a reasonably complete version was first made available) as well as the vast majority of current editions, omit certain material.

This includes Anne discussing [the part I removed so as not to hit HN's word filter!]. It also includes material removed by the original editor, Otto Frank (Anne's father) where Anne is critical of her father and discusses her parents' marriage.

In fact, the 1995 edition didn't include all the missing material (some pages removed by Otto were not available, even to scholars. Nor did the 2001 edition which added the pages Otto removed. There was still some censorship of material. Only in 2018 (deep into the "woke era"!) was the full text of Anne's diaries published after 70 years of the diaries being renowned, widely discussed and taught, and quasi-universally regarded as historically important.
This quote from the original article by Robert Sinclair, the CIA analyst, is one of the most profound things I've ever read.

"What do I get out of all this? For a moment, I get to evade modern man's almost complete dependence on secondhand information....We have come to rely on what others tell us about the world beyond our narrow boxes.

"The canoe commute does give me a first hand glimpse of what is going on beyond the various manmade containers I inhabit. I benefit from regular access to information that clearly is unmediated."

I don’t think they wait very long. I used Lyft recently and they only combined charges within a single day.
Yeah - I do wonder if a giant touchscreen with permanent controls (Zero context switching) could be nearly as effective as a climate panel with fixed buttons. Part of the issue of a touchscreen in a car today is that every single view is context dependent, whereas a physical volume knob is always in the same spot, performing the same singular function.

My chevy has fixed buttons/knobs, but the only one I don't have to look for is the volume knob. There are too many climate buttons that I use maybe once every two weeks for me to gain any muscle memory from pressing them.
Not sure what's on the vid. Didn't watch it. But if I understand you correctly, the following is impossible as shown in Cantor's simple diagonalization argument:

It's the same with Tesla.

It's a certain cult of personality that Jobs had and utilizing very suddle things. to great effect. Jobs had miticulous detail when designing thee User interface, font system, layout and every single workflow in the original mac. When they made the Ipod, they used white headphones. Everyone else used black, as that's the natural color of the polimer. These white headphones showed everyone around you that you had an Ipod and was a huge driver of sales. The mac logo is upside down to the user, but rightside up to anyone looking at you on your computer.

Everything was crafted around ease of use, and have always been on the higher end of the market than the market thought possible.

Elon thinks, acts, walks and talks very much like Jobs. i'm sure it's through studied effort, but Tesla has the same brand recognition as early apple did.
Because we know that adults who get addicted to deleterious drugs in adulthood didn't know the dangers of it, right?

Turn it into apartments.
Unfortunately economic incentives are still the driving force -- not some high moral sense. The pieces now have value for the origin countries, ironically, BECAUSE THEY WERE STOLEN. So they are using litigation to get them back. The lawyers are getting paid well and eventually, I suspect, most are just resold.
Yep - very similar. You can navigate huge lists by spinning it fast and it freewheels. Its a pretty nicely designed interface.
Used to be that was the sole purview of the Teamsters Union. Have they lost their teeth, or are they getting more predatory than usual?

Very convenient that Brother MFC machines can automatically upload OCR’d scans to your Dropbox/onedrive/box/google drive account, but I would like to only use iCloud Drive. Wonder if Apple is dropping the ball on that functionality though.

Because they operated on the free market around them, forcing them to have good quality or they wouldn't get paid.

I lived in communism where the state owned practically everything - and everything, not just the food, was shit, and you couldn't get it anyways, we didn't even have toilet paper. Don't get me started on women's hygienic accessories. The recommendation from government was to use old newspaper - because propaganda is more important than hygiene, right?
Embedding chunks and finding chunks based on similarity is definitely in use now. But if you can increase context size cheaply then the model can figure out what's relevant.
This looks super cool, but why not use this tool as a non-visual tool to show similar books given a title? As far as I know there aren't many tools for this

Also it would be super cool if we could import out goodreads reading lists and see them on the cluster
There were two articles in QST on using an HP Opto Coupler (that part is now obsolete, probably are modern alternatives) to isolate the antenna form the oscillator so it could not become a transmitter. See:

Daniel Wissell, N1BYT, “The OCR Receiver,” QST, Jun 1998

and "The OCR II Receiver" QST, Sep 2000.

Since the search engines have gone AI finding things like the June 1998 issue of QST has become impossible, for me at least. Maybe you have better search fu?

With browsers being operating systems that do sandboxing by default. If I know I want to run an app, I prefer a native version, but browsers are superior for trying things out.
No, because there are group effects. When you’re a poor Chinese kid in queens living in an ethnic neighborhood where most kids do math tutoring on weekends, that will reinforce that behavior and discourage negative behaviors, such as skipping your math tutoring. Studies show that friends and parents of friends have a bigger impact on children than their parents.
>What is odd to me in the story was the absence of a moral compass of the child and lack of knowledge of the internet as a potentially hostile place.

The term I see being used again and again is "grooming". I also saw another story that mentioned one person who was convicted, and reportedly contacted THOUSANDS of children online (using many fake profiles, of course). While most children probably aren't being pulled in, it seems like they're "fishing" for the vulnerable few that they can manipulate into being trafficked.

A public education campaign, especially in schools, could do much to reduce the problem, but still there will always be those children who are vulnerable. We should still try to educate children and parents on the dangers, but like climate change, there is no one solution to the problem.
this already exists. problem is they're not popular
If you are writing an article, being able to choose a style is very important. I believe that is not available on the free version (at least not in the pulldown. I write real estate ads with it. Without the "persuasive" style it is not nearly as good. I have rarely had to wait to get on the paid version.

Unfortunately these ones arent the recent ones (that A3 has been gone for a couple of years). They went from these style screens with MMI controllers in the centre, but if you buy an A4 or better now, you get 2 touchscreens and no tactile controls for climate etc sadly.
Industry and in some sense "machinery" itself is largely seen as inherently negative, destructive, "unnatural", "against" by many today.
3c. Write your own "library" which encompasses the the 50 lines of code.

Adding the oauth calls into your app that already has a web server, job processing, and a db is way easier than integrating what ever weird stuff some random library does.

I didn't believe it could be that nad, but I looked up the video at Tesla and you really have to go to the touchscreen to speed up the wiper. That should absolutely be illegal. Does it have some autosense feature so that you usually don't have to ise it?
Yeah played with some Leptos wasm and i believe something simple like their book tutorial was like 335kb or so. Not that shocking and for me personally totally acceptable. I do wish browsers would ship with their std lib for wasm. So wasm is can become more competitive on bundle sizes with Javascript which has its std lib shipped with browsers.
> Assuming those are all members paying $205 a year, that's about $29 million a year. It's easy to imagine a scenario where that number doubles to a future 300,000 riders, which would net about $61.5 million. That's a lot of money, in the normal sense of the word "money." But Citibank's 2023 first-quarter earnings were $4.6 billion—a "bumper profit" tied to industry-wide chaos.

Ignore the illegal spying by US intelligence agencies on American citizens on American soil (past and/or whatever is still ongoing). Is this an example where the US may "let" a friendly nation spy on US citizens and then just gets that information from them?

So rather than the NSA hoovering up US phone call content, which they almost certainly have the capability of doing, they just let the UK do it for them?
>> removing "ugly" and "fat"

The problem with replacing words with nicer sounding ones is eventually the replacement words start to sound equally negative. This is of course because fatness / ugliness are real things and cannot be eliminated by creating new words.
