Whenever I use macOS with a non-HiDPI display I miss the old subpixel rendering.

And I also wish Terminal (not to mention XQuartz) rendered bitmap fonts properly (sharply) with antialiasing disabled. iTerm2 does it correctly, but it's sluggish compared to Terminal.

Fortunately I use HiDPI 99.9% of the time.

But I still wish they'd fix bitmap font rendering.
Studies, including RCTs, are often affected by selection biases introduced (intentionally or unintentionally) by how participants are selected and/or self-select. Even the gold standard RCTs are thus not guaranteed to produce valid (or rather, useful/non-misleading) results.

They thoroughly researched the effectiveness of parachutes on a pool of candidates at various speeds and altitudes. While the initial pool of candidates covered a variety of situations, for some reason, the pool of participants willing to actually participate in the study was heavily biased towards people in an aircraft standing still on the airport, with about 60 cm from the door to the ground.

The bias may have been further increased by the selection criteria where participants deemed mentally unfit by the investigator were excluded, and willingness to jump from an airplane at altitude with a 50% chance of an empty backpack increased the likelihood of exclusion.

The bottom half of the right column on page 4 explains how this is relevant for real world studies.
What is the raw cost of AEB to the manufacturer? You need some sensors, a computer, and a way to actuate the brakes. Doesn’t seem like it would represent a significant fraction of the cost of even a cheap car.
Hmm. I wonder if you could say "if someone becomes homeless in your locality, your locality has failed them". And then rate localities/states by their net loss of citizens that have fallen "outside society". Then begin incentivizing communities to fix these problems. There's only so much a local community can do with limited funds, but while I'm sure the majority of homeless in California are Californian... I would love other states to take ownership of citizens they export/extrude. :s
with $17B, we can literally 3D print a bunch of micro housing. Seems like money is still wasted in Bureaucrat, red tap and some kind financial fraud.
A good resource, albeit somewhat incomplete, for the latter issue, to indicate the scale of this burgeoning problem: https://shewon.org
>1. You haven't done it before. Not exactly the same thing. You think you've done it before, but you haven't

Not to mention, even if you have done the exact same thing before it's unlikely you'll be satisfied doing it the same way. What % of projects are finished with everyone thinking "Yeah that was done perfectly there's nothing I would change if I could start from scratch"?
If they can make up new meanings for words like "Piracy" and "Theft" I think we can make up "Tyranny".
I am pretty sure the US has multiple avenues for intelligence regarding Russian troop movements and probably doesn't rely a lot on compromising individual soldiers phones.
Austria doesn't have a coordinated federal housing policy either, it's mostly just Vienna that aggressively builds city- or NPO-owned housing (and even there it's "only" about 40-45%¹).

And one important aspect of Vienna's housing policy is that these housing units are generally fairly nice, and offered to everyone at cheap prices, to avoid ghettoisation and have upper middle class families with doctorates live next door to long-term unemployed. I'm not sure how well that'd go with American sensibilities.

The most frustrating part of that is the absurd number of people who see the obvious problem of wildly expensive and tightly constrained housing supply, complain about it being impossible to buy a home, and then actively refuse to even allow for the possibility that cities may have been under-building for some time.
That's what many of those hacked sites thought. And yet Google is full of hacked wordpress sites of any caliber.

It sounds like it could establish a precedent for others to follow in response to Teslas' behaviour.
Neat. Wikipedia even lists some of the antecedents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_of_Caerbannog#Anteceden... , including specifically "The idea for the rabbit in the movie was taken from the façade of the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris."
Generally speaking, this is an interesting application.

This.

You can only reduce costs by so much. And each time you reduce them, you make it harder to reduce them further.

But if you can increase sales or increase profits, then there's no limit to how high you can go.

Focus on the positive things you can bring to the upside, not the things you can do to reduce the downside.

Fake news.
These topics are covered in the relevant (Science) stream in class 12 now. This is simply rationalization of the subjects to reduce burden on the students.

On a related note, I see quite a bit of fake news posted here...
The Mac (Apple Silicon, what you call aarch64) version does not run:
"pot is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash."
I disagree.

Not only do we not see those tempretures here, we stopped using Farenheit before I was born and the locals lived happily for several tens of thousands of years semi nomadically with minimal shelter requirements.

You might have missed the global part of the discussion topic and of the HN forum.
Read up about the "alignment problem". It is one that ai researchers cannot Crack and its literally what you wrote. The idea that we could never in any way define goals align with us.
Drug-addicts is something you interpret. It is specified that they are homeless.

Doing this conflation is the worst kind of anti-ethical you can be. Just like assuming other things about whole groups of people.

For this debate, I can really recommend Rutger Bregman and his books. One of his important points about poverty is that people are that: Poor. And that is their problem.
I think the idea here is that "small programs" = "scripts". Modern lower level languages are mostly terrific for writing small programs, which obviates the need for scripting languages.
This is impressive indeed.

I trained BERT from scratch on Colab's K80s spending a few hours (not 100h as in the article) on a much smaller corpus.

My results were understandably rather horrible.
The left's idea or "doing something about it" is making the problem worse not better. It would be better to do nothing than actively facilitate and incentivize homelessness and drug addiction with cash payments.

If something become very profitable then many companies should start to target that marked and the profit should be less over time. It is reasonable to think the same thing should happen now.
Because they are not going to spend it on things that's going to help them improve skills and finding jobs, they'll stuck as homeless forever.

Like when world bank lend money to country that are bankrupted, they ask them to take the money for reform and try to improve their economy, same should happen here.

Is the english Wikipedia page correct in that you always use nabla for the gradient?

Because `grad f = ∇f` holds in scalar fields f only (not in vector or tensor fields (tensors that aren't scalars)).
Does that free apartment in Idaho also come with food, drug treatment, social services, and at least the remote possibility of actually getting a job, all in Idaho?
Is this edgy? I work in the gov and last week drafted a policy to inform and quickly relocate staff in such states based on their public-facing potential for harm. Quite a lot of our staff is in Florida right now, and legislation continues to roll through.. It's quite real to me. Also I just cycle through throwaway accounts because when I attached my comments to a username I began to self-censor how I speak. The lack of a username helps me think.
If the simple marketing landing page of a project is slow because it runs a huge substack of PHP for literally nothing I wouldn't qualify that as boring tech but just lazy.

You don't need a dynamic CMS for a boring landing page.

The only reason I still use Wordpress is e-commerce where plenty of overhead is the standard anyway
I didn’t state any numbers. I don’t know. All I have is anecdotes from myself and others who work in this space.

That said, you don’t think even 1 in 9 people being out of staters puts pressure on programs? That as more people see how you can migrate and live far more easily than in Midwestern/East Coast cities, that those numbers won’t increase? That there isn’t a negative psychic impact to homeless people who are actually trying to get out of the system having to live around many others who are content to collect their scrip?

I’m skeptical the number is that low but even if it is, I don’t think it is the non-issue you think it is. I think it reveals quite a lot about the preferences of the homeless who both originate from within, and outside, California.

I came to leave a snarky joke comment about "in mice?", and then I remembered that mice don't actually need parachutes because their terminal velocity is roughly the same as a human using a parachute [1]. If someone actually ran the study with mice, they'd find that parachutes aren't necessary!

Asphalt Wasteland: Maybe parking does explain the world
Maybe money isn't the right thing - it may reduce crime, but won't fix issues. But there's plenty of successful programs where they give drugs or substitutes to prevent withdrawal to addicts for free, no questions asked, no judgment. Or places to safely use, where privacy, health care and clean needles are available.

But the subject isn't addicts, it's homeless people. Not all homeless people are addicts, and not all addicts are homeless.
> For a language where you're not supposed to need to know the byte size semantics, the correct length should be 5. What am I missing?

In the words of the article: “The choice of UTF-32 (or Python 3-style code point sequences) arises from wanting the wrong thing.”

“Not needing to know the byte size semantics” seems reasonable, but it simply isn’t a useful goal. The things it makes easier or faster (knowing how many code points there are, and O(1) indexing by code point) are things you shouldn’t be doing—and when you have to interact with the rest of the world, you now have a more expensive encoding step that is always needed, rather than just sometimes if you’d chosen UTF-8 or even UTF-16.

In the limit, you reach the level of that joke I remember hearing as a kid (and I think it dates to post-WWII rebuilding / soviet era). One possible retelling:

An outside inspection comes to a busy construction site. As they watch the workers running with wheelbarrows, back and forth between material storage and active construction, they notice that all the wheelbarrows are empty. They flag a foreman, and ask him, "why are all these workers pushing empty wheelbarrows around?", to which the foreman replies, "we're so swamped with work, there's no time to load them!".
Lock down mode blocks all SMS attachments. It's a bit annoying but a wonderful feature.
Vaguely related, since a lot of people here are mentioning assembly as a first programming language for learners: Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" and its associated fictitious "MMIX" processor ("MIX" on the volumes that aren't yet on their new edition).

Knuth's reasoning seems to be that higher-level languages go in and out of fashion all the time, but hardware and its associated assembly is quite sticky, so it's more "timeless". It's also a smaller set of primitives, so less overwhelming for the learner.

MMIX assembly is easier to understand than x86, having been designed specifically with learners in mind, and GCC even has a backend for MIX, so you can write C code and see how GCC would translate it to MIX assembly.
Homelessness has been on the downtrend for quite a few decades in the US. There is 0 countries in this world who have solved homelessness by the way.

I don't think you're correct.

That's such a wasted design opportunity - give the users freedom in using a proper text editing tool instead of whatever awfulness the OS designers got stuck in decade(s) ago
Hey, I wear a parachute to work every day and it's kept me alive this far! Granted, I work in a ground-floor office, but you can't prove that the parachute isn't what saved me.
What's the latest GOOD news you've heard? I'd love to read some - honestly :)
My problem when I was homeless wasn’t that I was poor. My problem was that I would never be able to manage assets properly until I get my mental house in order and started prioritizing things properly.

There are plenty of homeless people who are in a poverty trap, as you describe, but I think it oversimplifies the situation to argue the arrow of causality only goes one direction for all homeless people.
not if they're still homeless
> This is why we should use Mathematics, it's an universal language. If you think about it, from Geometry itself you can extrapolate the 90% of the core Algebra laws.

Good. Now that you talk about Mathematics being the universal language, the core of Mathematics itself originated from Dharmic scriptures. The symbols themselves are Brahmi numerals. These numerals were studied by Arabs who took it to the West which ultimately became the numeral system we know today. This is how many of the measurements were made in Ancient times by Hindu astronomers. For instance, how do you think Indian sages measured the distance between Earth and the Moon or the circumference of the Earth if not for using Brahmi numerals? Aryabhatta calculated that the Earth's circumference is 39,968km. Off by 0.27% of the actual value of 40,074km.

No one is contesting not to use Mathematics that we know of today to do our measurements. But remember that the Ancients (before the rise of the Abrahamic religions and destruction of various important libraries - Alexandria, Takshashila, Nalanda etc) used advanced mathematical concepts to construct super structures: Great Pyramid of Giza, Mayan Temples, Indian Temples like the Kailasa (which baffles scientists to even this day) etc. There is no way that many of these marvels were possible without having decent grasp on scientific and mathematical concepts. Most of that Knowledge is lost. That is the only conclusion I get after having studied them. The Knowledge we know today are mostly rediscoveries. The only difference being that we are more terse/accurate in our calculations. Conceptually there hasn't been any major advancements from what Ancients knew. Theoretically at the very least.
Homeless people will always gravitate towards where sleeping rough is easier - no one wants to risk freezing to death.

That's no real reason. If I use a bootstrap template and some rails magic I have the same professional site up just as fast but I don't hinder my future success trough a security nightmare, a overly complicated framework and super slow rendering times.
I guess what I'm saying is that these charts makes your project look more suspicious because that growth is weird-looking. You may or may not be legitimately acquiring these github stars, I can't tell, but whether or not you are, you may want to remove the chart from the page because it raises a lot of questions.
Ha ha, I love it. Are you going on a comedy tour soon?
I would like to clarify. I don't massively enjoy computer _science_. I did study mathematics at uni, but I enjoy practical computation to theory and academics.

That being said, I still love programming, both professional and hobby. I still do hobby programming on the side next to my professional programming
This is not surprising at all. Currently it’s all about affirmation and validation and being your true authentic self. Suggesting alterations to lifestyles implies that some lifestyles might be inferior to others. Would this implication end at drug use or could it be extended to other areas of life as well? When you extrapolate this a bit further you could quickly get yourself labeled closed-minded and a bigot. Therefore just throwing cash non-judgmentally at these problems and hoping the issues go away is the only path forward for many.. alternatives would be too uncomfortable to stomach.

From the linked technical report:

The oldest traces of infection that we discovered happened in 2019. As of the time of writing in June 2023, the attack is ongoing, and the most recent version of the devices successfully targeted is iOS 15.7.
> the emergency braking system kicked in, braking much harder than I would have been able to

So this is completely not true. You can brake as hard as any system can, there's no magic to it. Just press on the brake pedal hard, in any ABS car.

Surprisingly, this is something people often don't do. I am an instructor at car control clinics, one of the exercises is panic braking. All you need to do it press on the brake pedal. Easily 50%+ of students struggle with this. Just press hard. That's it.

Also, please take car control clinic. It will save your life and those around you.
There's also simply no good solution for people with mental health issues. People who need help aren't scooped up & put somewhere for treatment. They're left on the street.
I suspect that it will be possible to, assuming the number of popular open LLMfor this remains low, target the popular ones to have your watermark be resilient. With that said, watermarking to indicate that something was generated by AI reminds me of what someone told me about locks: They are there to keep honest people honest.

It will certainly not defeat an adversary directly targeting the technique. It is likely that a LoRA based approach would defeat this, especially if the detector for the watermark is broadly available and cheap to run.
I definitely don't have talent for logic and quantitative thinking. It takes a long time and many iterations for even simple concepts in mathematics to sink in for me. I benefited greatly from learning first Scheme and also making sense of C and OS internals before trying to grok interpreted languages. I'm currently trying to get some proficiency in Go and it's been great fun!
Hilarious. Growing up in Portugal, what I learned from my family was "don't put your hands in your mouth" and "hands are dirty". Objectively superior to this nonsense.
Cool idea, congrats on launching! Though I ditched resume a long time ago to only use linkedin. Having the option to automatically fetch info from Li would make it easier for me to try.
I had to break into a laptop for my dad last week. Last used 7 years ago. Running win2k on a pentium 3.

Had to jump through various hoops and find creative ways around problems (laptop too old to boot from USB, all my modern machines lack optical drives. And so on) but I did eventually break in.
They don’t need a bed or a room. You can camp quite comfortably throughout the city all year long thanks to the mild weather.

It’s a very different situation than being homeless in cities with more typical seasonal weather patterns; I nearly lost a number of toes due to frostbite when I was homeless in Saint Louis during a major blizzard. San Francisco’s climate and permissive camping policies help absolve a lot of the housing related issues that are involved with being homeless.

So where is that 5% on your bell curve in Rio De Janeiro? Or most of Europe? Or most parts of Asia?

Why is the 5% of people in the world who according to you are uncivilized concentrated in the U.S.?

Because homelessness of the sort that you see in the US simply doesn’t exist in most countries in the world. Both countries that are as rich or significantly poorer than the US.
