Its not just the people who are missing ("young hacksters" as you put it), but also the people who are here; the HN populace is gradually approaching general populace, there are lots of people commenting here who have no connection to the cutting edge tech scene that HN originates from (even if HN never was particularly exclusive club). And to clarify, I'm one of those people, so I'm not saying this to be elitist or anything.
And if is a public document, why do they call it "leaked"?
You can also just go online and read the recipes for free, which is quite nice. I moved to a country without HelloFresh but sometimes take a browse through their recipes and buy ingredients in person, when wanting to try something new (but unsure what exactly.)
It's impossible to give an accurate estimate unless you're starting from the same place (and even then it's hard to give an accurate estimate when you're starting from the same place - how long does it take a pot of water to boil?)

My parents are an absoulte disaster for organising their kitchen, they have a fridge that is absolutely _rammed_ full with no order whatsoever, and a single pantry cupboard that contains cereals, vinegars, and everything else in one. On the contrary, my kitchen is organised very loosely by meal, while still structured and categorised. I can dice/slice veg for a full meal in the length of time it takes my partner to get the ingredients out of the fridge.

> Your thinking is what enabled a generation of '20 minute meal' recipe books that actually take closer to 40 mins.

Nah, that's just people lying about cooking times, like "caramelize the onions" in 3 minutes, and not measuring how long it actually took them to do the recipe.
Where do you see that? Just curious.
That's much preferable. The odds of a person catching a stray knife from a conflict a block away, or being one of a dozen knifing victims in a mass knifing incident because someone had a bad day and decided to take it out on a shopping mall, are far lower than with the other weapon. I haven't heard, but I'm pretty sure elementary school students in Bristol aren't holding knifing drills where they learn how to hide under their desks and pretend they've already been knifed.

They say a fish isn't really aware of the water they're swimming in.

In the early days of computers it was a struggle. A struggle to get time on a machine, whether it be by punched card, paper tape, standing in line to submit your job, getting on a timeshare terminal, or connecting to the mainframe via 300-baud modem. The modem speaker spoke of the struggle when connecting.

You then got ahold of a $3K Apple ][ computer with 32K of memory and integer basic, and the only way to get performance was 6502 assembly programming. A struggle.

Then PCs came along, where nobody ever needed more than 640K memory, so it was a struggle to partition your work to fit it all in, but at least you didn't have to do assembler anymore since there was FORTRAN or Pascal.

And then the barriers lowered even further with GUIs and more memory, but you still had to worry about true multitasking not really being implemented correctly, and your poorly-written program could still hog the cycles. A slightly lower struggle.

And now there is more memory than you know what to do with, unless you are a rocket or climate scientist. And you infrequently have to worry about performance. Code efficiency? Bah!

It's all about the struggle.
Thanks!

We solved 1. the same way, but it felt "off" somehow. Perhaps it's a good solution.

2. That's a sound solution, but a tiny bit cumbersome. I have projects where we deploy both classifier and regressor, where it'd nice to keep all in main. Alas, you can't have it all.

When you have these fairly ‘disobedient’ or strongly instinct driven creatures, it teaches you a lot about what it takes to assimilate a sentient being into another’s way of life.

You are thinking of typosquatting. And my example shows people can publish extensions squatting on the same extension name as established ones while also changing other metadata to impersonate or spoof popular ones and confuse users quickly looking to install the extension.
Weber is a long-term premium brand. Hence plenty of skin in the game. I've had similar experience with manuals (or web sites) for cooking/kitchen products from similar brands.

The Australian Women's Weekly's recipe tagline is "Triple Tested", meaning their recipes are cooked at least three times in their test kitchen. The kitchen has been at it for around 100 years and their recipes are highly trusted and well known in Australia (for good reason).

HN is quite money-oriented and economically liberal, although nothing beats Blind in this regard. Many FOSS developers don't like this. I think it has less to do with age.
> It applies because the article exclusively discusses a 2 degree temperature rise.

You are correct in pointing out that the headline is, at face value, incorrect.

The context is that the 2 degrees C is a global average temperature increase compared to some fixed baseline. As an average it doesn't say anything about the variance. To illustrate, the average value of 4, 4, 5, 6, 6 and 1, 1, 5, 9, 9 are the same, 5.

Our climate models however show that an increase in average temperature will most likely be accompanied by a fair increase in variance, meaning both much hotter and much colder weather. And it's this increase in variance that's the main issue.
> But most of the stuff was done over email, which is a terrible tool for synchronous communications.

I've heard this a lot but don't get this complaint. Email wasn't designed to be, meant to be, or supposed to be used as a tool for synchronous communication. So of course it's terrible at it.

The point of email as a tool is to satisfy other goals. It's an excellent replacement for FAX, snail mail letters, etc...

Conference calls, video calls, face-to-face meetings are the tools meant for synchronous communication.

'Chat' tools are completely unnecessary. It's there to satisfy the perceived demands of the workforce but might actually be net negative as several commenters pointed out here.
It already has informed quite a lot. For instance, the DSA's enforcement was designed precisely with the GPDR's enforcement problems in mind. But it indeed points toward the federalist direction you fear. While mileages vary, centralization seems to be the only option for real enforcement as otherwise things end up in the lingo of infighting, lack of harmonization, and national bias. The other option is a US-style regulation-through-litigation, but I am not sure whether that is any better (neither for companies nor for consumers).
Thank you for taking the time to comment here!

That sounds promising. Maybe scale (of model and training samples) is all you need.

And RNNs are obviously so much more efficient at inference.

I sit in front of an Oberheim MC 3000, and love the piano-like playing experience and use every key.

However, it is disingenuous to compare a groovebox to a digital piano. It's also bold to assume that someone wants or needs 88 keys or even wants piano-like action. It's something different. That's valid. If it isn't for you or me, that's also valid.
Stained glass man here. Back in the day I used to make SG windows for churches - that died away. Glass is colored by dissolving metal salts into the melted glass like a dye in water - a small amount goes a long way. More here https://www.bohaglass.co.uk/metals-used-to-create-coloured-g...
Classic stained glass uses a number of base transparent glasses, with the metal for color as the canvas, cutting into the various shapes for the art work painted onto and fired into this segmented canvas. They use lead 'cames' between them that are H shaped in cross section. The paints are various colored glasses with a high density of metal = dark color for viewing in thin sections. This glass is made of a lower melting glass we mixed in a small furnace and poured out on a flat. We then powdered this glass in a mortar and pestle and added 2-4% gum Arabic - a glue like binder. We also had black glass we powdered for lines. After powdering they looked like flour - the light scattering predominated. with a hint of the final color, black being the darkest. For use they were wetted and applied with small brushes to the drawing on the glass with fine black outlines. After drying, you could trim the edges with an exacto knife.
Then it was fired high enough to melt the powdered glass into a continuous phase, while the base glass softened and they bonded.The gum Arabic burned off into CO2. It was then cooled over 24-48 hours to anneal the glasses so their different contraction rates did not make the colored glass separate.
Then the final stained glass was assembled from the colored figure parts. Arms were segmented, clothing also, as large panels are at risk of fragmentation, and the base glass color also fitted, faces, hands. etc. The border was usually a geometric repeat, but was often legended. Then the puzzle was assembled with tin-lead solder and all gaps filled with cement based on red lead and linseed oil putty and carbon black. (now they use silicone seal). A few steel bars were added for support because the lead would gradually sag unless supported and it was fitted into the window.
That is classic stained glass. Pieces of colored glass in a pattern with no art or text is what we called a 'leaded light' Door panels, tiffany lamps are leaded lights.
It is an art that is near death, all the people I knew are gone, new churches are not built, old stained glass is scrapped due to lead environmental issues, and church attendance is under 5% in Canada.

Culture is dead. Nothing is new anymore, everything is now just a variation or an amalgam of recent culture. Software and hardware history have an element of the new about them if you didn’t experience them yourself, hence their enduring popularity as topics and objects of fetishization.

User experiments with early Bing chatbot (driven by some version of GPT?) have shown that AI can be both hostile to the user and protective of their own "interests".
No one said this comes without challenges, just like every great opportunity. But it can be handled with solid business acumen. Unlike the (bloody and disgusting) past, the african diaspora as well as the local actors have a much better education and understanding of various global dynamics, as well as (some) level of local infrastructure.

China did manage to improve its side of the trade equation, not without sacrifices for sure. Arguably, it was also already a unified large nation and it just needed to "direct" its energy. In the case of Africa, we're talking about 54 countries, organized in 8 regional communities [0]. RECs are functional at different levels (some are completely dysfunctional such as the UMA - the North African community), and there's a lot of coordination work to do.

But I believe working together towards a shared goal would do a massive uplifting job for the second continent in terms of land and population size and unlock an incredible future for the 1.3B africans today.

I hypothesize that a lot of interesting discussion also happens in smaller group chats, where people can be more candid while receiving reasonable responses. Public social media participants are often assholes or have ulterior motives.

It takes a lot of courage to discuss a new technology while in its baby form, which can easily be smothered by demands of perfection. A private group chat can do a better job at helping to cultivate an environment for growth.
This will definitely take away the burden of clients (mostly non-technical people) having to choose the selectors. I've had a scraping service business recently for this specific reason. I hope AI can be a great middle player here. Let's see how it turns out.

My chrome instance complains about being not up to date because I rewrote the update daemon with a zero byte file that no one has write permissions to.

I did this after chrome’s auto update checker (not the actual update) pegged my cpu to 100% enough times that I rage deleted the updater. Then chrome kept rewriting it and undoing my settings to not update.

It’s a risk I run but chrome lost my trust.

ii) graph the integral of human population and this is exponentially true. There is exponentially more past every year.

iii) I’m convinced that the single worst social/cultural event of the previous 25 years (and maybe longer) was the invention by social media of algorithms that bias what you see toward what maximizes engagement. Think about what this does. I put it this way: one person passes you on street and smiles and says “hi,” then another punches you in the face or publicly urinates themselves. Which maximizes engagement?

I’m not totally pessimistic though. I see the above cultural trend peaking. I’m also weirdly optimistic about AI. I say weirdly because I feel contrarian about this. Even super intelligent AGI doesn’t frighten me that much.

Let me put it this way: I am less afraid of a superintelligence than I am of mobs of ignorant humans, and I think the superintelligence might have more to fear as well. Neanderthals may have been smarter than us, but I’m sure we had that genocidal mob thing down. Intelligence doesn’t always win.

If your problem is with land use, especially UK land use in cities, it’s much more the zoning and planning permission that’s to blame: if anything there’s too little landowner control and too much social control (at least, social control of the wrong sort.) Building new housing supply into an overpriced market is generally quite profitable, and will be pursued by private landowners when not illegal.
Keep in mind that this isn't an isolated case: Microsoft used this as a tactic with Quicktime amongst others. Their tactics were numerous, either bringing spurious error messages, stealing associations to bring error messages/dodge the invocation of the competitor software or simply altering windows code to produce legitimate errors in competitor software.

That's on top of plain old threatening other companies if they dared use technology that they were trying to suffocate.
