Freddie's is weird with their pricing.

I needed Q-Tips as I had finally run out of the box I bought years ago.

They had 350 Q-Tips in a box for $3.49. Ok, about 1 per penny.

They also had 500 Q-Tips in a box for $4.99. Practically the same price minus some infinitesimal rounding money.

I was about to reach for the 350 when I noticed they also had a 650 Q-Tip box for... $4.99.

And they were not on sale. None of them were. This was their flat Q-Tip pricing.

I would have guessed that the price should have been $6.49 to keep with the trend, but my guess would have been wronger than using "wronger" in a sentence where you should have used "more wrong" instead.
I monitor so that when there is a problem I have some data I can use to troubleshoot the problem and identify possible solutions.
It's probably good to not allow redirects or targeted content to users, and those are valid complaints. I totally shouldn't get link redirected, sent to a shady site, or displayed offensive content, different than what the submitter might have seen since they didn't have a referrer, because the other side of the link is hostile to users here. That said, I think a "banned link" list for submissions might serve this purpose better and more neutrally, if you're wanting to please both sides. I don't think you were out to "go after" anybody at all though, I think you were just blindsided by something you didn't think as deeply about as some of the folks on the other side expected. From that perspective, I feel for ya and don't blame you for getting stuck in the spot you ended up in at all.

From the above though, I'd say an opt-in (either via moderator here or site owner request) ban-list on top of a general all-link "noreferrer" policy would be my preferred solution as a users. Heck, an "ultra technical" answer would be let robots.txt filter a HN bot agent which checks when the submission is polled, way less manual. Others may disagree, and it does come with the downside sites won't be able to tell where the sudden burst of traffic originates, but that's my 2 cents.

If we start building nuclear now, in a number of years we we have nuclear power plants.

If we wait the same number of years, we might have some form of viable long term storage. Or not.

I have always been skeptical that grid storage was the hidden cost of solar, and that multiple weeks of total grid output storage were needed, but this makes convincing arguments that only a few hours of storage is needed, even in difficult areas.
That was always the killer for CANDU. If industry has to carry the whole cost of research, education, regulation, and training operators, our market is too small to support it. And the big buyers all have their own (weapon program adjacent) programs. We might have a renaissance with SMRs, but we’ll be contributors, not independents.
Why is are people wasting money investing in Direct Air Capture type carbon solutions when the same amount of money invested in agriculture mitgations would achieve more, and likely reduce costs faster to achieve yet more.
Oh they're quiet here too - it's just that (most) EVs tend to be almost inaudible. They'll make a very quiet whirring noise sometimes, but the volume is so low that you'll easily miss em.

I don't know the people driving these cars well; perhaps they modded them (seems unlikely, given the neighborhood), or perhaps they're old enough to have escaped new requirements; regardless - they're too quiet here in my sample size of 1 neighborhood in NL.
Only criminals have something to hide, right?

I love that saying. But if it would be true, then why do people lock their bathroom doors?
I am not sure why do you think there is only one way to increase trust in a claim made by unknown people?

I don't trust "famous" people. I trust that it's unlikely for a large group of "famous" (eg experts in relevant fields, which is a more specific interpretatiin of "famous"), unrelated people to not trust each other, and only once they reach a common ground, would my trust of their extraordinary claim rise.

Yes, I wouldn't trust Einstein proclaiming speed of light is finite, but when corroborated with independent claims of experiments from Michelson proving likewise, and others from 30 years ago, I would.

Basically, if it's too few people, I'd question how did others, unrelated people not see it: science mostly progresses these days when the body of knowledge is such that simply the next thing is in front of us, and multiple people simultaneously "discover" it. As it's many people making similar claims, I'd start considering it seriously.

This is how science works, and I am happy to follow that with media reports as well. It's not at all backwards IMO.

Sure, if I was working on a hypothesis, I would certainly venture into less trusty sources, but I would need to be ready to accept for my hypothesis to be disproven too.
Roughly $1 to use one watt for a year. 14 watt bulb takes $14 to light for a year.

Seeing and reading this this morning finally made me want to go chase down an old contemporaneous reaction blog post to this Ryan Dahl rant that I used to enjoy referring to Too Much Stupid Software https://web.archive.org/web/20160906072516/http://www.lovett...
Great but I think trying to get as many people using Bard, especially Google’s customers, should be a goal. Why not just enable this by default?
For my 2c I'd say either doing nothing or blocking links makes the most sense. They've sent a clear message they don't want HN traffic, and I don't see a lot of value in posting links to sites that explicitly don't want it.

I have something similar to a drill mode in my previous product (to learn English) and people use it 1-3 hours a day. Want to incorporate it into Gliglish, just didn't get around to it yet but you make me realize I shouldn't wait!

If he was really on board, they wouldn't have planned to fly over the airspace of US allies. This incident is evidence that the intelligence community believed smuggling him out was possible, not that it was impossible.
> They are now so cheap you’re starting see them in consumer vehicles from Volvo, Mercedes, Cadillac, Nio, XPeng, BYD, etc.

I'm googling, and not finding a reference here. As far as I can tell not one of these manufacturers (or anyone else) is shipping a consumer vehicle with a LIDAR sensor. You're just citing press releases about plans, I guess?

Look, the argument goes like this:

1. LIDAR gives somewhat better depth info, and slightly inferior vision.

2. Depth info from camera devices is proven sufficient. Again, Teslas don't hit stuff due to sensor failures, period (lots of nitpicking in this thread over that framing, here I'm being a bit more precise).

3. All the remaining hard problems are about recognition and decisionmaking, all of which gets sourced from vision data, not a point cloud.

The conclusion being that LIDAR isn't worth it. It's not giving significant advantages. If you were designing an autonomy system from scratch today, you wouldn't bet it on LIDAR (especially as there's no proven off the shelf device!).
there are always environmental impacts to land when we deprive it of sunlight, which is why picking the low hanging fruit of covering man-made structures with panels would be preferable over large fields
It's frankly amazing how bad it is. On benchmarks and human comparisons, ChatGPT obliterates the small but growing open LLM community--but Bard is right in there with the open models. It's insane to me that Google, with the people who basically invented transformers and LLMs and basically unlimited TPUs, can't do better than a few hobbyists with like three A100s between them.
Anyone in the US can go to a library and borrow a cookbook for free. If you are out of ideas you can do that too.
This is fantastic and doing some BOTE math on the cost of training, it's under 10k (160 hours of 20 GPUs at ~$1 per GPU-hour puts us at $3200) so assuming you have a dataset prepared and ready to go, this can be a really huge leap in open source and closed source models!

Idk what's happening to the Windows/file explorer teams, this is embarrassing.

Another issue I've had in newest file explorer, (probably a bug, unless they're trying to get rid of ".txt" files), is this one also reported on Twitter by "MittringMartin":

It's also gone from the "shift right click" menu (aka the good old menu)...
Sure they aren't open minded, but I mean thinking that our current state of knowledge defines the limits of what is possible, which is more specific than just closed-minded. It's crazy how often people make this mistake.
If it’s in writing probably in the offer letter. Otherwise IANAL, but I believe it is untested in court. For now. So it’s undefined behavior.

Does your Linux distro actively try and push you into specific social media patterns?? Me neither.

I've also never seen that from an OS maintainer. I've only seen that in small semi-private forums that are trying to stay somewhat below the radar and even then it is rather silly. Those sites should just make themselves private, password protected and invite-only. OS distributions should be welcoming and inclusive for all assuming they care at all about adoption of their work

According to his Guardian interview, he claimed to have "full access to the rosters of everyone working at the NSA, the entire intelligence community, and undercover assets all around the world, the locations of every station we have, what their missions are and so forth".

Most of this information was not given to the journalists. It could be he was bluffing about what kind of access he had (was very likely). But he claimed to have much more information than he showed the journalists in Hong Kong.

FWIW (obviously taken with a grain of salt) - the intelligence community themselves at least believed and acted as if he took a bunch of classified documents with him - despite not believing him that he actually had lists of undercover assets and stations: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-33125068

Why the hell are you worried about dell being singled out instead of thinking "At least one of these bastards is being held accountable!" Everyone one of them should pay, but I'm glad that today it's Dell.
I think this is about as “productive” as the threads regarding the Rust foundation debacle(s). Did you believe those should be flagged too? I don’t think they were.

Personally I believe the communication from Asahi’s leadership regarding the users of HN to be relevant. And as others have pointed out in this thread, especially when HN users have supported development of Asahi.

"And, because the bosses don't want to raise wages?

This is why AI hype is big right now. There's a lot of companies hoping to hawk a snake-oil 'solution' to lower productivity that doesn't require raising wages.

Given that most government accounting is single entry and most macro (-economic-solution) does not really recognise the role of money in the economy, this is in itself quite revolutionary stuff

It's pretty sickening to see how much money is allocated in developed Capitalist economies to (disturbing-kick people-) scams like AI.

I don't think you should encourage people (including your kids) to do that: If someone doesn't feel like they should have a relationship with someone, they shouldn't have to.

I also think you should consider the context a little bit: I'm trying to tell you that if you're not on your kids' side then they're going to keep some things from you (NB emphasis: "you will lose access to a part of their life forever"), not that they're going to keep everything from you, or "cut you off completely". Did you perhaps miss that and read what I wrote a little too narrowly?
Another British English oddity is with Mac OS. Classic Mac OS had a British version until circa Mac OS 8, which called the Trash the Wastebasket. But the icon wasn't changed, so was still visually a dustbin. British English returned at some point with recent Mac OS X versions, but now the icon really is a wastebasket, they called it the Bin.

(If anyone has this British English Windows 11, is it still the Recycle Bin, or the more British Recycling Bin?)
It's Whisper as well and should behave the exact same way. Are you in the same setting (mic, ambient noise)?
If they’re trying to sell apps, it would make sense to sell on the platform where people spend the most on apps. I have no way to verify, but I’ve heard that iOS is that platform.
It's absolutely super gross to selectively apply noreferer to links only to Asahi Linux or JWZ's blog, because it's obvious you're doing it specifically to spite the people running those sites. If you applied it to every link, that might be different. I mean, the receipts are still out there, people still know what's up. But at least you're not being openly prejudicial.

I think you're confusing proving that the hash function is collision resistant with the other goal which is hashing speed. If you really need a collision resistant hash you need to use a cryptographic hash function, but outside of cryptographic applications that is rarely the requirement. And (huge caveat, this isn't my domain expertise) I'm not sure what security properties are really "proven" about existing cryptographic hash functions, AFAIK existing cryptographic hash functions are considered secure because we don't know how to break them, not because of some fundamental mathematical property about them.

For the other 99.999% of hashing applications there is a balance between collision resistance and hashing latency. For example, in a hash table (probably the most common use for a non-cryptographic hash function) there is a cost incurred by hash collisions because lookups on keys with collisions may have to do extra probing. On the other hand, every hash table lookup requires doing at least one hash operation, regardless of whether or not it collides. So it may make sense to have a slightly worse hash function (in the sense that it is more likely to have collisions with pathological inputs) if it has slightly lower latency. The only way to really know what is faster for a real world application is to have some kind of benchmark to train against as a loss function.

$1T is really not that much money for the US.

Energy is 4.8% of US GDP, about ~$1T. So we already have $1T to spend on energy... It's just a matter of how we spend it.

This is just what things cost when you've got 335M people and most of them are relatively rich from a global perspective.

They raise beacons which communicate via laser with satellites, thus avoiding giving away position from radio or audio.

They use audio for short-range underwater communication, but this has side effect of giving away position.

US also built giant ELF (extra low frequency) transmitter to send orders to subs which operated till 2004.

Fun fact: subs have all necessary codes to launch nuclear strike on board since there is no way to transmit these code to them if they are submerged.

Beautiful effort. I'm obsessed with sharing gpus across workloads, albeit my interest has more dwealt in virtual desktop/vdi/cloud gaming. The people making the chips just want to charge sooo much money for sharing a gpu, seem to make it hard as they can.

I don't follow your logic. It seems to be a circular way of downplaying the laws potential for harm.

I am sure you are right, harmful laws have been passed, and then on the basis of their harm, repealed.

But if we are to be reassured that since the law is harmful it will be repealed, that is an illusionary reassurance. Clearly not all harmful laws are repealed, even if some are.

And even repealed harmful laws are likely not repealed until the harm they cause is very evident. Meaning great harm has been done.
