I think a lot of University computer labs still use Firefox. At least at some point, that was because it was easier to lock down — no directory "an administrator" (i.e. malware) could just dump an extension into to treat it as force-installed.

I am a VR enthusiast.

I totally agree! I feel like I am scuba diving or snorkeling. The discomfort drains you.

Just thinking about the extra work your brain is doing to process VR visuals

Universal issues:
* flat, everything in focus rendering instead of "light field" style, per-eye adjusted display focal depth

Per-individual issues:
* Mis-aligned pupils (IPD)
* User not having glasses or corrective lenses inside the headset
* Wrong prescription (Everything is 4 - 6 feet from the user's perspective for a prescription), so bifocals or the wrong pair of prescription glasses create fatigue
* Motion sickness sensitivity

Doing a little VR can consistently build up tolerance, but there is always some amount of overhead for me that is fatigue inducing.
Many of those corps also have restrictions on speaking/posting publicly as well, and something like setting up a blog or Youtube channel would need legal approval. Some even ban public posting on social media and forums. These restrictions are not just on confidential content as well, but on literally anything you post publicly (as it may affect how others view the company). Due to IP agreements anything you post is also considered corporate IP anyways and thus even commenting on social media is forbidden.

Therefore if you see say a Github user who hides behind their screen name, or a HN commenter who purposesly keeps their job details vague, that could be someone who doesn't want to be dark matter - but the company policies force them to hide that way.
Why? It's not an accessibility feature, and desktop OS versions of Firefox still exist. Choosing a hobbled Android device and expecting desktop-class experience is a user issue.

Will it drive worthwhile value? No.

Are there more pressing matters? Yes.

With that said, it's open source. Why don't you implement it yourself? Meanwhile the rest of us have long since moved on from Firefox.
Salt Lake City has a progressive government, for what it’s worth.
the author considers an "operating system" as the ecosystem where the user live and find a convenient application "store". Same store = same OS. Different store = different OS.

So with this reasoning maybe soon Windows = Linux but Android != Linux.
I assume it was mostly humor, albeit poorly timed humor.

The lack of elaboration to the question shows that there wasn't much thought put into this idea IMO. While a majority of Americans use iPhones, there is still a significant portion of Android users. It's unfortunate that an interoperable solution was not promoted, but I assume this suggestion attempts catering to the majority and puts little thought into what we are all concerned with -- interoperability and being able to target everybody, not just ~60% of the U.S. population (if you want to believe statcounter's numbers).

You are completely correct with the minor edit that this study would never be shutdown as there is a 0% chance it ever gets approved.

Beyond how strict IRB/REB boards are in general, there are also additional federal requirements that must be satisfied when submitting a study proposal on children including surveys and not just interventions. In the US these are the pathways:

Section 404 requires that research poses no more than minimal risk. As the intervention itself is a federal crime this is not satisfied.

Section 405 allows for more than minimal risk if the anticipated benefit for the study subject justifies the risk. There is no individual benefit to the minor for watching pornography.

Section 406 requires that the risk is "commensurate with the subjects expected or actual psychological and social situations" which is hard to argue is expected when it is illegal to begin with. It also requires that the intervention is "likely to yield generalizable knowledge about the subjects’ disorder or condition which is of vital importance for the understanding or amelioration of the subjects’ disorder or condition", hard to argue that answering whether children viewing obscenity is addictive provides knowledge that is vitally important when there is no clear reason why children should be exposed to pornography.

If an IRB cannot satisfy sections 404-406 the only other way to get such a study approved is section 407 which requires direct approval from the Secretary of Health and Human Services if the "research presents a reasonable opportunity to understand, prevent, or alleviate a serious problem affecting children’s health or welfare, and, in addition, determines that the research will be conducted in accordance with sound ethical principles and that adequate provisions are made for soliciting the assent of children and permission of their parents or guardians". It is impossible that this would be satisfied as children NOT watching pornography (the alternative treatment/status quo) is hardly a problem let alone a serious one.

This has nothing to do with religious justifications but is due to very reasonable and heightened ethics requirements when conducting research on children, be it pornography or a new medication. Canada is essentially the same and I can't speak to Europe but I imagine most countries have similar requirements regarding to needing to demonstrate likely benefit to research subjects or contribute to understanding of a disease (which is nonexistent in paediatrics).

Every researcher thinks their question is relevant and important and that's why we have these rules in place.

I've been in the industry for 25 years and have never seen it done that way anywhere. First place I worked used PVCS then migrated to Clear Case. The first free one I used was CVS.

I'd say each predecessor had about the same level of penetration, which was 'nearly all'. CVS->SVN-GIT. Git will be replaced. It's ripe for that - its interface is terrible, storage is now cheap, and many companies have no actual need for decentralized version control and the complexity that comes with it.

Easiest to use of the bunch is still svn. You can teach a developer everything they need to know in 5 minutes and there's 3-5 commands total you'll need to use ever. I never once saw anyone get into some nightmare state they needed help to dig out of like I've seen routinely with git.
Infinity is a direction.
This might sound obvious, but you need good tooling. I used to use use plain sublime text with very little plugins and automation. Writing code was extremely frustrating. Sublime text autocompletion rarely worked.

I’ve updated to the latest version, installed an lsp, written some plugins and commands for generating base classes and imports. I even run the tests automatically on file changes, terminal window about 1/4 of the screen (the other 3/4 is sublime), and now it’s a joy to write code. I no longer get frustrated writing even a simple line. Now I get immediate feedback when typing (from the lsp) and get (almost) immediate results when saving a file, (by having the tests run automatically). When I have to create a file, I have commands for most cases and when I don’t I have snippets that make it a breeze. It’s now actually enjoyable.
NYC is burning tons of city funds on police to solve ever fewer cases.
I haven't been in the fountain pen world for a couple years, but it was typical for everything except the Japanese pens to have consistency issues. I wouldn't fault this on the OP's usage habits with his regards to TWSBI issues. I've heard they've gotten better, but again, haven't been buying for years at this point.

Namiki is the same as Pilot yes. The flex falcon's are notably scratchy, and it's a well known issue. The general cheap pens (i.e. the metropolitan and co) are amazing, both in consistency and performance. The Falcon nibs on their #15 pens (most famously the 823) don't have the scratchiness, but can have flow issues.
As a senior developer I trained juniors all the time during different projects successfully.
I don’t think bootcamps and workshops help much as the provided knowledge is not immediately used in real-world work.
Instead I delegated parts of my work directly to the juniors. Small bits at first. Then giving them detailed reviews.
Harder tasks are done in pair programming, let the junior be the driver.
Never suggest direct solutions! Let them find solutions themselves so they gain trust in their own abilities. Show them how to go deep into existing code and library code - teach them how to learn so to say.

It’s crucial to let them work on real stuff. Work with them together and become a team - even better - a team you can form yourself.
Also motivation is a factor. So you have to get to know them personally well. Not everyone is made to be a programmer. Some are more interested in business and management - but still can become valuable and competent developers.

TPM 2.0 is a fantastic spec. There's little that's wrong with it. Even the bus sniffing vulnerabilities w/ dTPMs aren't TPM's fault but the BMC's and BIOS', as there is absolutely a way to encrypt and authenticate secrets to/from the TPM.

I am not preventing the discussion or claiming that you shouldn't extend this concept, just objecting to the way to question is formulated ("is infinity an odd or even number"). The stackexchange comments agree with me, and do this extension by pointing out reasons it would be useful to pick one or the other, but I found it important to point out this caveat that there is no logical answer (in terms of numbers) and whatever you pick would be an extension, not a conclusion.

Nowhere in my comment do I say that this is a silly submission or suggest that it shouldn't be in the front page.
I would argue the U.K. and Israel count as theocracies, too. It’s not a strictly defined term. But I agree that having a religious voting block a theocracy does not make.

Given that reddit surprisingly still has a working API, this isn't actually a hard thing to check. Here's a script that works courtesy of ChatGPT:

Aside: Many HN readers may remember that Basecamp's drama from 2 years ago [1] made mention of "paternalism" and how they planned to end the practice within their benefit structure. I recall the phrasing to be a source of confusion and argument. I think there were still a lot of folks (myself included) who saw this as a form of societal absenteeism in an economy with challenges that are often not easily overcome with simply more money at an individual level. I do, however, think this is a dicey area where companies can spend more efficiently on some paternalistic benefits rather than flatly increasing salary (which may have fewer tax incentives). This needs to be balanced with the fact that US corporations are not legally incentivized to maximize employee happiness, they're incentivized to maximize profit and without a legal entity around worker benefit, this form of paternalism can feel cheap or dystopian with callbacks to "company stores" and jumping through hoops and checking boxes to maximize your salary.

Is addition defined _by_ set theory, or is set theory one way of defining addition? If it's the later, then there could be other ways of defining addition that don't have the same results for infinity (because our math system doesn't really "work" for infinity, or 0, depending on the circumstances).

I am in no way a mathematician. My question about the definition of addition as it relates to set theory is just that; a question.
The solution is simple, the implications are not:

Eliminate the Fed.

Banks eliminate inherent risk by being backstopped by the fed. A simple example of how this works is FDIC insurance. If a bank had all of its depositors holding $250k or less, it could essentially lend out all of that money with very little risk of getting sued by their depositors.

I've thought about building this for a while, glad it's out there!

Not only does this guarantee your output is JSON, it lowers your generation cost and latency by filling in many of the repetitive schema tokens without passing them through the LLM.

For the very common case of "extracting multiple structured fields from a piece of unstructured text," I believe there's an even stronger optimization possible that would further decrease costs, latency and potentially even improve accuracy.

Assuming the fields you want to extract are independent (and they often are), you don't need to generate them all in one go autoregressively. Eg. instead of running the following pseudo-prompt:

"Input: 'It's sunny and cold today'
Output schema: {"sunny": boolean, "temperature": string}"

You could instead run the following two:

"Input: 'It's sunny and cold today'
Output schema: {"sunny": boolean}"

"Input: 'It's sunny and cold today'
Output schema: {"temperature": string}"

We don't do that today because when done naively it's very inefficient -- you'd be tokenizing, passing to the GPU, and computing the KV cache of the shared part of the prompt twice. But a library with the right abstraction could run the second two queries in a batch in parallel and reuse the same tokenization and KV cache for both of them. It would actually be more efficient than generating both fields in one go, since when you factor out the shared prefixes both the generated text and its context are shorter!

I mentioned above that this could also improve accuracy. Of course it doesn't do that by default (except that by excluding all the irrelevant fields it makes self-attention's job easier). But what it does do is give you an independent prompt for each field you're interested in. And so for particularly tricky fields you're trying to extract, you have the flexibility to eg. add several examples to make the generation N-shot.

I do not agree that giving government more power over banks is the solution. It may make it obvious to everybody what reality is but you just handed the keys to the entity that is abusing their powers already. Giving the government more power only reduces ours.
You did not answer my question.

As far as the billionaires, we could ban fossil fuel use entirely, for one. We could also tax billionaires extremely heavily (we should), and tax fossil fuels so they're less appealing. We could also work on campaigns to shame people for it but that seems unlikely to have much success, we're not talking about fur jackets here.
The problem with this is that you don't know what the licensing will be when/if they open source it. So you could start using it now and they might change their mind and choose not to open source it or it might be a restrictive license.

Ask HN: Favourite Presentations on Data Engineering
Hi all!

I'm hosting a data engineering bootcamp for a local community college, and I am hoping to collate some good presentations on data engineering and / or managing data at scale.

I often see great recommendations to Youtube presentations on here in assorted comments, so I figured I'd try my luck by asking explicitly.

If you have any favourite / recommended videos then please share some links?

Thank you! ^_^

The honest AI-only papers will admit they are not the primary source on the ground.

As for the dishonest ones, it's not a new problem (only the scale will be new), since fake news are widespread already. The society combats it by a reputation system. I take a BBC war correspondent seriously, but a random military-blogger I never heard of I take less seriously.
"Ignorance", "short-sightedess", and "ignores the realities of the world" (and another commenter's "let them eat cake") seems like a stratospherically dramatic reaction to the common "why would anyone use THAT platform" joke.
You may not be old enough to remember the internet before reddit. There were many separate forums dedicated to specific interests, and quite a few of those communities moved to subreddits, and the quality suffered greatly. I'm sure someone is going to chime in and say how it was the same thing with newsgroups before, but to me it feels like that time just before reddit and facebook took over everything was the peak of the internet.

The vanishing point (I have many many of these, including vintage ones!) has relatively low ink flow compared to some of their other pens. Generally, the amount of ink laid out and smoothness can vary quite a bit from pen to pen. The physical writing experience varies a lot, but if you're happy with it and don't want to spend more money on pens you're perfectly fine staying on the vanishing point. The convenience is hard to beat as well!
