Yep, relm4 is based on gtk4!

What I am asking is, does relm4 have all gtk4 widgets and is generally feature complete? Is there any reason at all to prefer using gtk4 directly rather than the more ergonomic relm4?
Another aspect to this story is that people stockpile antibiotics - probably resulting from doctors prescribing a very large number of doses to begin with.

For even her family that reside in the US, whenever they make a trip back to Korea, they come back with bags full of antibiotic pills to replenish their local supply.
Which tells you how much any statement about caring for their customers is an outright lie. If they'll happily inconvenience you because the law doesn't specifically say they shouldn't, then they aren't being a good company but just a minimally compliant one.
> These platforms were designated because they each reported having over 45 million active users in the EU as of February 17
You can’t be “wildly over optimistic” for 8 years in a row. That’s just called lying and deliberately misleading, especially when financial upside is involved.
> Broken windows and ash-like particulate matter from the launch have been reported as far away as Port Isabel, a town of about 5,000 people six miles away from the launchpad, and South Padre Island, where onlookers watched the test flight from about five miles away.

> Spokespeople for the Sierra Club and the Center for Biological Diversity noted that the particulate emissions may be unsafe to touch or breathe in, and samples will need to be collected and examined to dispel any concerns.

I assume there are attorneys salivating at this. (If the concerns are legit, then good.)
I suspect anti-wokeness is probably part of the complaint, but completely apart from that I find it odd they have teaching staff responsible for some of these tasks. I would want my professors to be a bit more outgoing than the point at the board and tap foot until they get to go back to researching types, but having them go recruit people is a full time job (or should be) and so is making good tests and lessons. Grading tests is also ridiculously time consuming if you use good tests. My reaction to those qualifications is "do you have any other employees or only teachers? How much time do you expect me to spend on all these jobs?".

If it is just a weed out for teachers that don't care about their students success or understand the variety of challenges some of them face, I think they could have done that in a better way than suggesting "if you really care you'll do three full time jobs to help these young adults".
> It's intriguing to me that AFAIK load-balancer changes in AWS don't suffer from this problem. (Though, on the other hand, CDN changes do.)

The architecture is a lot different.

Using google means working with the load balancer in some form. It's all interconnected.

AWS is all separate parts that are stitched together thinly.

E.g. you can have a single global load balancer in Google that handles your whole infrastructure (CDN and WAF are part of LB too). There isn't an AWS equivalent. You would need a global accelerator + ALBs per region and more. WAF is tied to each ALB etc.
I understand that reminding people of dormant subscriptions might prompt cancellations, but I'd think the following test might be worth trying.

Randomly give existing customers free periods or extend a subscription by a certain amount (week/month?), then notify them.

I'm sick/tired of cancelling something only to be told I can get a 'special discount' to stay or come back. It borders on insulting.

I've had multiple monthly services for years that never once extended or lowered my fee. That's fine, that's business. When I went to cancel some to switch (or just cancel), suddenly I can get an extra 50% off what I've been paying patiently for years? Just rubs me the wrong way. It's a game I don't really want to play.

Give me a good rate for the service. Surprise random 'gifts' of a free month of a service or whatnot now and then would be really nice. But it might remind me I'm paying for something I forgot about, and prompt a cancellation. I dunno.

Show HN: Learn German with Short Stories
Hi HN! I have been working on a webapp to keep learning German and today I want to share the first version. In the past, I have used books with "Short stories" to learn the language and I always wanted more stories so I thought I could put that into an app. Short stories are nice because the learner can attempt to understand words from the context of the text and it feels like less effort than a traditional language app.

Additionally, the app format allows for practice questions at the end and you can use LLMs to check whether the answers are correct; so the users can check themselves.

So this is that! Let me know if you have any questions.

https://webbu.app/german
> The fact that it is useful for finding patterns that may be different than humans tend to find is not an indication of understanding of the underlying data.

Without invoking your own self-awareness as an argument, how do you know that other people "understand" stuff, and aren't merely "finding patterns"? In other words, in what way do you define "understanding", such that you can be sure that LLMs have no such thing?

> there is no mechanisms for it to have an 'internal model of the world' in their current form.

How do you know that? We don't even know why humans have an internal model of the world. What if internal modelling of the world is just sufficiently-complex pattern-matching?

The players buying <1ms monitors will continue to buy them. Its the other 95% gamers that are the targeted audience. An example: As a dad of two 3 year olds, i don't have time to game more then a couple of hours a week. Its not worth it for me to keep up with the hw trends for that amount of dedication. However, using Shadow to stream my games, i get between 30 and 50ms ping on wifi. Perfectly fine for the type of games i play.

I had a similar experience with GeforceNow and Stadia (40 to 60ms for them as their servers are farther away).

Which countries are those? AFAIK, Japan is the one leading the trend in the demographic crisis, followed by some Eastern European countries.
I think the main issue is that marshland is really unsuited to building large underground structures.

I'd imagine it's grounded until SpaceX can at least demonstrate the next launchpad won't rain down on their neighbors.

There seems to be a lot of things that went wrong in this launch, and the FAA will want to see those issues investigated, from engine failures at launch, to the disintegrating launchpad, all the way to a possible malfunction of the flight termination system, because it seems the rocket disassembled itself before the FTS could do its job in a controlled way.

Absolutely! I chose FPN data as it's the best available to me in near realtime but as you say, it's not reliable.

This is partly why I've been collaborating with someone on a prediction feature that tries to guess generation using realtime wind conditions and historic actual generation data at various wind speeds.

I'm hoping to improve things as time goes on and I learn more about the underlying data (and its quirks).
My experience is that LLMs are really good at interpreting prompts, so you really don't have to craft them any way to get "better" results.

The most important part is that the prompt has the necessary information so that it can be interpreted correctly. The other important part is, if you're trying to get a response you can feed to a computer (e.g. raw JSON), you need to really clearly specify this. And even then the current LLMs are really bad at stopping or providing invalid output; so bad, we may need to create another type of language model which takes LLM "English" output and converts it into raw data.

LLMs are (or at least GPT-4 is) also really good at selective attention. Even if you slip in a subtle detail the model is good at picking it up.
The word "indefinitely" definitely has connotations beyond its denotations.
Honestly, all due to the Musk influence you can "move fast and break things" even when it comes to 1-ton machines with humans inside moving at 80 miles an hour. That Tesla was allowed to test in production with basically no legal liability is so messed up
I live alone. If I want to share the second screen that Netflix forces me to buy with my brother, why should it matter if he lives with me or not?

> I was with you until here… how is it they are not given a choice? If a woman wants to have children instead of entering the workforce, what exactly is stopping her from doing that?

Economics. If all the other women are part of two-income households, they will inflate the cost of certain essential goods (like housing) out of reach from a single-income family.

Ultimately, the shift to dual incomes will probably pay out as well as deciding to eat your seed corn instead of planting--a wonderful time of plenty followed by starvation and collapse.

Of course, there's a ready made solution to the problem of eating your seed corn that everyone should be happy with: dump your starved, dead body on the street and have someone else move into your home.

Right, but this is internal change and evolution rather than externally influenced. Japan is a high trust society. They are cohesive. That would change.

Remember monocultures (as in one world monoculture) are not ideal? That we aspire to celebrate differences? Eventually, we'll have a homogenized world culture --that is not something I'd like to see. I prefer there being many different cultures with their OWN idiosyncrasies and ways of life.

(Copying my other comment)

Canada has been unable to naturally replenish their population since 1972. Now they have one of the highest immigration rates in the developed world which has let them stave off Japan’s problems for decades, enabling their entitlement programs to continue functioning

As for the reason for Canada’s birth rate woes since 1972, it was not socioeconomic (it’s likely due to declining male fertility). Abortion was only legalized in 1988 in Canada. Housing was affordable during that time and its economy was strong during the long period of consecutive population declines.

Of course, like many countries a large portion of Canada’s population, including liberals, are now against immigration due to a combination of housing woes and a healthcare system in turmoil. Unfortunately, Canada has no choice unless they want to see their economy further crater and not have the working adult population to pay for socialized programs such as healthcare. According to statscan, Canada’s NIST, even if they drastically increase immigration; it will only slow down the age population bomb and not prevent it i.e. Retired elderly will still eventually outnumber both working adults and children one day too soon. The speed will likely accelerate due to the Canadian public’s growing distaste for immigration.
You have a human you want to train to paint. You download an image of a painting and give it to the human to train it on, amongst many. The human, in the future, may paint something that has vaguely or substantially similar qualities to the original painting. Has copyright infringement occurred in this instance? No: the downloading of the image for study in this particular instance is for sure, 100%, fair use protected by copyright law.

Now, let's try something similar. You have a monkey you want to train to paint. You download an image of a painting and give it to the monkey to train it on, amongst many. The monkey, in the future, may paint something that has vaguely or substantially similar qualities to the original painting. Has copyright infringement occurred in this instance?

Let's go further: You have a neural network you want to train to paint. You download an image of a painting and give it to the neural network to train it on, amongst many. The neural network, in the future, may paint something that has vaguely or substantially similar qualities to the original painting. Has copyright infringement occurred when that happens?

I find it hilarious that in this thread, instead of asking the question of whether this is fair use, multiple posters have jumped to comparing this to thievery, promoting terrorism and posting of private information as an analogy to harm.

Female research is quite harder than males using animals. The sex hormone could affect brain significantly which then ask for much big sample size. Besides due to the lack of previous studies, it might be hard to give a plausible explanation of the findings without test the sex cycle, but even with the knowledge of the cycle, which hormone?
So that's a good hunch. Where is the data showing that Tesla software is causing more crashes than say people driving base? Without data, why are you thinking that something should be not allowed on the roads? Opinions without data are just that.. opinions. Would be a pretty terrible way to regulate.
Neither did I! Not my part of the country.

And I am sympathetic to your point -- there's a lot of excesses and not-functionally-relevant requirements in academia these days.

But NYC has a lengthy and altruistic history of charity/nonprofit educational institutions for those who have been denied access at one time or another, and this just happened to be an example of that.

I would be fascinated to get a meta analysis of tech school faculty requirements, 1940 - 2023, though. Honestly can't guess if they've drifted or not.

I agree that it's ultimately harmless, and well-deserved, for the thief in question. I find it sad that there are often children involved, but if any good comes of that, it may be that some kids will learn a lifelong lesson about the results of the behavior their parents are encouraging.

Still, as I said - it's the level of effort put into the punishment machines, and the extraction of entertainment value from the punishments, that gives me the odd feeling that something about these videos might cross a moral line.

To each their own, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from watching and enjoying the videos. For me personally, they give me more heartache than joy, so I stick to his other videos - despite the rampant exploitation of innocent squirrels ;)
Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, that's a good point.
