The 0..1 of fuzzy logic isn't the 0..1 of probability. When, in fuzzy logic, you say "X is true to degree 0.7" you are not saying "70% of the time, X is true" or "70% of samples display X"[0]. You are saying that the state you observe conforms to X by 70%. You can, at the same time, say "Y is true to degree 0.4". X and Y are allowed be somewhat contradictory: there's no need for their degrees to sum to 1.

[0] Not necessarily. You might choose to measure X that way, but it's not required.

"Deep learning" as used today isn't fuzzy logic, it's actually multi-layered neural networks. (hence the "deep": because it has multiple layers of neural networks instead of a single one).

The reason why researchers on neural networks started to talk about "deep learning" in the 2000's is because neural networks had a bad press and articles were being rejected. Machine learning on the other hand was hot so it was a way to get their papers accepted.

Often unsolvable problems can be decomposed into a set of solvable problems and hopefully just one or a few unsolvable problems.

By narrowing the unsolvable problem it can help to communicate the issue to others (e.g customers or management) or help to find a solution. If that fails it provides some solvable problems to work on. Often solutions, workarounds, or compromises become evident over time.

To give an example: you can define "tall" for an adult human as being 0 if 150cm, 1 if 210cm, 0.7 if 190cm, etc.

Unlike boolean logic where you're either "tall" or "not tall".

Is 2FA much of a burden?

I use 2FA on many of my accounts, and it's not that bad if you're only being prompted for it once a week or so.
I am not convinced.

Google's main focus is in extracting rent from their dominance, not in making the browser faster, lighter or whatever.

As for plugin support, that's the challenge no? Make it so the contract for third party plugins can be maintained without breaking them every 6 months as the browser improves.

Firefox has excellent developers. The fact that it still has some relevance despite many years of mismanagement is testament to that. I bet if the company behind the browser was laser focused in making it as good as possible, with no compromise, they could challenge Chrome dominant position.

Yes, this is one of best ways to do fiber. The fiber provider digs all the trenches and runs fiber to every building/house in the city and then you as an end-user can contract the internet service from whichever provider you want.

The costs are minimal and in my neck of the woods I pay about $10 for 1Gbps (actual rates being about 950mbps down and about 800mbps up).

There is very little similarity between music and the sounds made by a songbird.

According to an article I read about a scientific paper on the subject, I think, birdsong doesn't have particular notes belonging to a particular scale in the way that nearly all human music does. I can actually hear a cuckoo as I type this ... perhaps it's trying to present a counter-argument? ... but I'm not convinced! and I'm not going to record it and measure the frequencies of the two "notes" ... however, I've just looked it up and apparently the interval starts off as roughly a minor third in the spring and gradually changes into roughly a perfect fourth in the summer! You can incorporate that sound into music -- it's been done lots of times -- but the sound itself isn't music and most music isn't imitative like that.
> How can they claim 'it is secure as long as one person forgets their secret' and 'we need to protect against sybil attacks (so sign in with your github account)' ? If the first claim was true, why should they care if the same person takes part multiple times.

> 'it is secure as long as one person forgets their secret'

This is from the 1-of-N security assumption of the cryptographic procedure, wherein at least 1 person is actually honest and destroys their own secret to ensure its security. With a large enough N, this security assumption is made guaranteed due to the non-zero probability of human nature for deviant behavior from the rest of the group, wherein at least 1 person will be honest and perform as specified.

> 'we need to protect against sybil attacks (so sign in with your github account)'

...this claim ignores the large visible button right above the 'or unlock with Github' link, that prompts the user to sign in with their Ethereum address.

Aside from this, this is meant as one of the 2 methods of preventing bot spam, the other one being the sign in using an Ethereum address.

Doublespeak is not present, joosters, as the two claims address different issues (1-of-N security of the KZG ceremony & bot spam).

Numeric representation may be the same[0], but the rules of how to do math on them, and what that math means, are different.

--

[0] - AFAIK dealing with Bayesian math, it's usually more useful to take a logarithm of all probabilities, so you can add them instead of multiplying. This translation expands the range from <0, 1> to <-infinity, +infinity>, and incidentally makes it clear why some people say that "zero and one are not probabilities".
That's because this example is an anti-pattern, the swap should be local [1], the button changes itself (to an orange arrow, to disable itself, etc) and the notification tag (#notification-bar) should be responsible of its own behavior.

An idea could be that the notification bar is polling a notification endpoint every Xsec or on a specific event [2], or if you want to be fancy with WebSockets [3]

You misunderstand. I didn't say western society had no discourse on feelings. On the contrary, the fathers of reason in the west like Aristotle talked extensively about feelings, far longer than just hundreds of years ago.

I said based on reason. It's quite possible to reason about feelings.

I really like Firefox. I want it to succeed. I really came to dislike the company behind it over the years though. It almost feels like they purposefully worsen Firefox over time in order to serve the desires of their benefactors at Google.
I fantasize about this sometimes for scientific purposes. Part of the challenge is how to keep the barrier to entry low enough that people stay excited and creative, because the opposite is the world of regulated industries where your way of thinking is heavily influenced by the legal framework. Periodic synchronization helps and the best I have seen in person at the Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) since these tend to be narrow enough to have consensus but still broad enough to get a little bit of perspective
To me this signifies the very core of society itself. Someone made this flute, meaning, they had the time to imagine and experiment. Meaning, they played a different role than hunters or foragers of food.

This was probably a gift to someone (concept of love / family) or some higher ups (strata / class in society)

And, the reason only a very small sample was found was because someone had the idea, tools and time to probably fashion one out of wood, as it may be more easily workable.
To me, it's readable because it usually only does very basic operations, in batch, like arithmetics, simple SQL requests and some if statements. It forces you to declare all variables once, at the beginning of the file, nothing dynamic going on, so it will never surprise you, but you won't be able to do advanced problem solving, no Google apps, no Uber, Netflix (no video processing), etc. (not saying these companies are great, just that they need stuff you can't do in COBOL85).

So it's ok at doing the most basic things. But all the other languages can do it too, and you could require compile-time restrictions to enforce constraints, you could write Rust without heap storage, allocating all memory once, etc. The compiler might get bored.

In the event anyone wants to suggest analyses to perform, I'm game.

For now, I'm parsing out title, points, comments, submitter, and the submission site.

I'm classifying by state and city (list of 330 largest cities in the US by population), as well as a few "false positive" categories (e.g., "Washington Post", "New York Times").

One interesting angle I'm looking at is the average votes and comments by site within the data --- I'd been curious for a while as to which domains seem to be most highly considered (or at least successful in garnering votes and comments). I'm still waiting for the full archive to get pulled in, but early results are ... interesting. I'll leave it there. (Paulgraham.com rather predictably does well, though it's not the highest-rated.)

I'm also thinking of ways to do trending over time. In early data (I'm up to late 2011 / early 2012 as I'm writing this), sites including Quora and even jwz.com appear and ... do well. plus.google.com hasn't yet appeared, and a few others that come to mind don't seem represented yet. Top sites by year or over a five-year interval seems potentially illuminating.

Oh, and as far as states go, when restricted to front-page submissions only, California does far better than the Algolia search results (all non-dead/killed submissions) indicate.

So, dumping hours upon hours of work into publishing a project on PyPI is fine, but setting up TOTP is where some people draw the line? To prevent against a commonly-exploited attack vector that is so simple to mitigate?

Like... Really?
TOTP is a bit of an annoyance though a pretty rare one all things considered as most sites have reasonable delays before they ask for re-authorising devices.

The biggest issue is that as the number of sites in the Authenticator grows finding them becomes more annoying.

Keys are a pain in the ass though, as their form factors usually make them impossible to keep attached to a laptop (as they snag and break if you forget to unplug them before putting the laptop in a bag), yet easy to lose if you’re not super careful.

There are low-profile keys (yubikey’s nanos) but they’re not exactly cheap, and I’ve never seen one being given out (whereas I have free keys from older programs of github and google both).

They’re all minor gripes, but they’re routine annoyances nonetheless, and as the number of sites requiring 2FA grows (rightfully so) the likelihood that you’ll meet a 2FA prompt every day closes in on 1.

And there’s a handful of sites which are really shit about it, with way too aggressive requirements and way too short sessions.

I’ve got great hopes for TPM WebAuthn.

When people oppose "Politics" they usually mean politics they don't agree with. The politics they do agree with aren't "politics" to them, that's just a normal part of everyday life and it's crazy that other people try to claim that's "politics".

If you have a broader understanding of what politics is in the first place you're not going to object to an organisation having "politics" because of course it does, it's composed of people, it exists to further somebody's goals or else it wouldn't exist, it's not like organisations can spontaneously wish themselves into existence.

Could equally come from the project, looking at their past HN stories they've had a lot of problems with malicious users. ID requirements might reduce that.

> To achieve its climate and energy goals, Europe needs to improve cross-border electricity interconnections. Connecting Europe's electricity systems will allow the EU to boost its security of electricity supply and to integrate more renewables into energy markets. ...

> The EU has set an interconnection target of at least 15% by 2030 to encourage EU countries to interconnect their installed electricity production capacity. This means that each country should have in place electricity cables that allow at least 15% of the electricity produced on its territory to be transported across its borders to neighbouring countries.

> In 2021, 16 countries reported being on track to reach that target by 2030, or have already reached the target, but more interconnections are needed in some regions.

I think HVDC interconnects are cool. No frequency concerns, and more power efficient at longer distances, especially undersea ones. And I'm amazed at what solid-state can handle these days.

As another concern about interconnects, the Wikipedia page for Icelink [1] - a proposed but unlikely connection between Iceland and Scotland - comments that Icelanders had "concerns over increased domestic energy prices in Iceland".

Seems similar to why Norway decided earlier this year to not go forward with NorthConnect. [2] "Reasons for rejecting the interconnector application includes fears that the Norwegian power grid could be exposed to the power systems of other countries, as well as an imbalance over grid capacity in the north and south of the country."
