The link does not mention price. I searched on youtube whether someone installed it at home and talks about practical experience, all I got were promotional vids. Despite it's apparently already 2 years on market.

This does not inspire confidence, you know. It's not the "anti-hydrogen" campaign, it's lack of hydrogen industry honesty about price, features and limitations.

That is totally false. Any good web browser is asking for permission first.
Thanks, I confess I haven't read that far yet. It's a long article and I'm already convinced anyway; I didn't know Diamond is cancelled now. I read his book a long time ago so I forget the details, but I remember Yali's question and it never crossed my mind that trying to answer it might be read as racist.

Victory against overwhelmingly superior forces is not unheard of in history. As a classic example, see the Battle of Agincourt (~7000 Englishmen vs many tens of thousands of French, and it was a rout... for the French).
It's a bit silly to oppose these two technologies... Caches also rely on compression to be efficient, they work hand in hand.
Less people pearl clutch over Chans than you think. Most of the shock is performative.
> What happens here when you click button is, Edge deletes browsing sync data from Microsoft servers and stops syncing on all other devices you’re signed into

Is that true? My (possibly faulty) recollection is that if you subsequently launched Edge on another device that had been syncing then it would cheerfully reupload all your data to the cloud. In any case, glad I've jumped ship.
Hacking the PHR-803T (2014)
Eric Hobsbawm notoriously said counterfactual history is shit but that said, who knows what a demoralised British government might have done with a successful German landing even if small.

Can you show where phishing atack is possible in the following scenario?:
1. Open login page
2. Enter credentials (step 1)
3. Enter verification code (step 2)
4. Authenticate, redirect.
I've made a benchmark with real html data including memory usage in [2] and a recent benchmark in [3] with TurboBench [1].

In the speedup plots you can see the best compressors for content providers:

- brotli 11 is best for static content

- brotli 5 is best until 1MB/s network transfer speed

- libdeflate 6 is best from 1MB/s to 6MB/s (followed by brotli,4)

- igzip 1,2 is best for very fast networks > 10MB/s

brotli brings little value at decompression for users

I use it often with udev rules. You can execute a command upon a udev event, but only 1.

If I want to run

command1 && command2

Then I can't do it, udev will usually just silently do something that I don't want, either execute only the first command, or nothing (don't remember from the top of my head. Maybe it passes the second command as an argument to the first one?). However

bash -c "command1 && command2"

is one command from udev's point of view, and will do exactly what I want (and the bash process will do the actual work).

Beside that, maybe your current shell is different from bash (or whatever shell you want to use), but still you want to execute some bashism. This would be another case when it can be useful.
He's a hypocrite, he's not vegan. He has no discipline to live any of his so called principles.
In that case they need to negotiate with Washington first, to remove the legislation that sets them apart from this startup.
Trustix and CAN are -fantastic- for the problems they are intended to solve, but they only cover the consumption side of the supply chain. You can use these to ensure the binaries are built from the published code, or that you are using the right published code. You have no idea if the published git commits were not made by a sim swap compromised github account... because maintainers are not required to do the bare minimum such as signing commits.

Compare to arch, fedora, debian, and basically every other linux distro that has existed more than a decade. Every maintainer signs their own contributions with well known keys so they cannot be impersonated and so later stages of the supply chain cannot tamper with them.

Newer distros like Nix and Alpine decided do get rid of all that security overhead in order to attract a huge pile of randos as maintainers. I mean, it worked, but at a very high price.
Programming is part of my job, but I only have to do it every now and then. However, I'm considering pulling a plug on programming side gigs I do sometimes. It's so intense, the brain feels like it's going to explode+ there's that anxiety and that the whole thing will fail before I can even submit it. I'm not sure the money justifies every time.
Yet the life expectancy in most EU countries is much higher than in America. Wealth isn't the only relevant metric.

And yet, here we are, on hacker news.

Tech isn't the only thing I follow, and I have a few other hobbies, but it definitely is a big part of my identity now, to the point that even when I next take a break from working in software I'm still going to be following open source, tinkering with software, and probably still obsessively keeping up with HN
Yep. This is what happens when big money gets interested.
More specifically, semi space.
>(JFTR: this is a shitpost thread that got through. And it deserves responses in kind :) )

Yep, from time to time not being serious for a second is refreshing :).
Very interesting, but this blog's conclusion misses the point though..

The fantastic part is its ability to work at the concept level. This technology proved to be efficient at building some graph of concepts and relations simply be feeding it huge amounts of token. For example with the moon hoax, it is able to synthesize in two sentences the main points of the hoax theory.

It still has limitations, but that's the major step everyone is impressed with.

Saying "but it's just a markov chain underneath, it's not intelligence" would be like discovering electric signals in the brain and concluding it can't be intelligence because it's just electricity.
We need a name for the place people go when they "opt out". A positive and defined "somewhere" instead of a negation and a landscape with a random collection of hacks.

Getting the diverse, opinionated and variedly incentivised open source communities to agree on thinking as a unified "something" is like herding cats. But its high time that the desirability and existence of an "opt out" is recognized formally and that won't happen without large scale coherence.

Maybe even the notion "open source" is not longer helpful towards that end. Big tech has inflirtated and one way or another "sponsors" pretty much every major open source initiative.

The starting point is data sovereignty and privacy, but more fundamentally, what we need is agency in the use of information technologies.
Serious music producers use toys all the time. The main riff of Gorillaz Clint Eastwood was sampled from what is essentially a toy: https://youtu.be/EDX6l9_58R and there's a lot of videos of producers like Legowelt, Four Tet and others making great songs on the spot by sampling other toy instruments. Toys are great source of inspiration.
How can Hydra know the nixpkgs repo was not tampered with? Maintainers impersonated?

How can anyone know the Hydra signing key was not tampered with?

These are problems other linux distros have solved for decades by just requiring maintainers press a blinking yubikey or similar to sign their contributions.
Co-worker posted to company chat that they had failed to make some payments and then had got phising mail for their bank. Wondering was this linked. Later someone pointed out that phising had come before those failures. So was completely unrelated in reality.

All the conspiracy theories out of the window...

I also agree with your hate of realpolitik excuse and comment; yet I have to ask... What is the alternative? idealism? a mix of both?

I find the idealist to be useful fools for propaganda. I find the mix of both even worse as it mostly becomes "it's right when we do it".

I guess in my view where I see these are the only alternatives, I just hate whoever disagrees with me and create a reason post-facto like [realpolitik cinicism/naive idealism/insert here qualifier].

But I try to be open to different alternatives if you can tell me.
A quick Litmus test: can you install Gnome and KDE, uninstall them and not have any leftover package?

None of your listed package managers can do that, and that’s not even a difficult thing like installing 2 firefox versions with only this deep dependency changed.
"You have a megalomaniac dictator waging an unnecessary imperialist war of aggression ."

Yes, one that was raised by the KGB, and his work possible consisting of coordinating left wing terrorists in the west.

"That should make it pretty straightforward, no?"

Sadly no. Because his character and the general political ideas and red lines of the russian establishment were known.

Ukraine was russias sphere of interest/domain.

So the west going into ukraine, helping with the coup and promising them EU and NATO, while knowing that russia can never accept it - was a clear path to war from the beginning.

Would the US tolerate mexico become a china military ally? Doubtful. One of the unwritten laws.

The geopolitical realities are, that it was known that going into ukraine would likely lead to some war.

Which is why most of the world considers this war a proxy war between Nato russia. And it partly is.

But yes, it is also a war for independence of a small nation against an evil empire. But the empires in the west seldom care about the actual people on the grounds. They care for their interests. And currently ukraines and Natos interests are mostly aligned, which is why they get support.

If china suddenly becomes a bigger problem and now there would be a need to play Putin against them - then Ukraine would be on their own very quickly.

It is already starting now, with the west medias more and more implying that it was indeed Ukraine that blow up north stream. Whether they did it, or not: this is a way of showing them, they can change the narrative in the west quite quickly. War is dirty. And also Ukraine has lots of dirt on their hands now. Showing some of that dirt will make the public change opinion. This is geopolitics in action.
A beta version on discord channel to interact with virtual characters for fun
Hey all, I just wanted to share something cool my friend has been working on. My friend developed an chatbot app called Talkie . It lets you chat with virtual characters and earn fantastic prize cards based on your chat content. These cards can be traded with other users for virtual currency, which can be used to unlock even more exciting features.
During the character selection process, I suggested some characters to add like roles from Genshin Impact and my friend ended up including them. The app isn't officially out yet, but the beta version is available on their Discord server. I got to try out the beta and it's really neat.
Just wanted to recommend you all check it out and provide any feedback. Here's the link to their Discord: [https://discord.gg/yBb9NvMV9T]. I know some people were hoping for their own characters but my friend says those will actually be added in the official release - and you'll be able to add your own custom characters too!
Let me know what you all think! I can pass along any feedback or suggestions to my friend. Thanks!
Living in a country that is a smaller market really sucks on this front because I either cannot get the parts, or they cost more to ship here than the cost of the part itself. Last time I got something for my coffee machine that the manufacturer refused to sell it cost $80 to ship it here from a parts warehouse.
I don't think we'd be permanently attached, in that scenario. It would be more like a dock you attach to at night, or when at home.

Still horrific, don't get me wrong, but much less socially gauche than hauling a backpack full of spare parts around.
It would still pay off in many situations. With existing algorithms you can already optimize image files to be compressed as much as possible, which takes quite a bit longer than usual but if it means 30% smaller files for an entire website that has an impact on every visitor.
I live in the US but grew up on a dairy farm in Ireland. In my personal experience the two milks are very different.

Qt is a C++ (and I guess Python) framework to write cross-platform applications.

Qt Creator is a C/C++ IDE that happens to be written in Qt, and has some extra features that make developing Qt easier, such as a GUI designer for your app's windows. But it's just an IDE, you can use it to write pure C or C++, even in a basic Makefile project, without ever touching Qt, those features appear only when you select a Qt project template. They have a whole bunch of templates.

They are separate things so there's no reason why the version numbers should be kept in sync. Qt Creator could be using an obsolete Qt 3.0 from decades ago, and it wouldn't matter, that's up to the Creator devs and would have zero effect on your experience as an end-user.

If you're a C or C++ user I recommend you try out Creator even if you have zero interest in Qt. I like how fast and responsive it is, the advantage of being written in a native language I guess.
Another classic failure brought on by the intense mediocrity of Canada.
Dillo, NetSurf, Links, Lynx, ...

Big Tech has unfortunately convinced many developers that all sites must be huge bloated webapps that only work in the latest versions of their browsers. Reversing that propaganda will be the most difficult part of making the Internet great again.
I'm not surprised. Lord of the Flies was always a misanthropic fantasy fueled on Western dog eat dog-ideologies, our modern ideologies take this weird contemporary "kids are useless little fragile eggs" approach. Kids are neither as evil nor as helpless as our culture makes them.

I think it was David Graeber (I'll have to go look for it)= who once recounted the story of islander children getting lost on a boat and washing up on the shore of a small island. They were there a few weeks. They found chickens and captured them, scavenged fruits, and even remembered from their families (islander, after all) how to do small farming. They were absolutely fine, without any dystopian violence to be found.
It's interesting how different our experiences are. I love programming so much, I'll often forget about food or sleep if I'm building something that really interests me. It's easily the best high I've gotten.
I thought Dublin did, actually.
I Built the Largest Translated Cuneiform Corpus Using AI
For that claim I'd base myself on two things: scale (even if forecasted but especially invested into), and compatibility with the main services

The “cutoff” always comes up in abortion debates, and when someone argues for a very late term abortion, the other side is sure to bring up infanticide. Polite people/amateur philosophers leave it there. Professional philosophers pick up the slack and deal with the heinous leftover questions…

Designing syntax and semantics that are easier to parse can also make the language easier to understand to humans, as long as optimizing for these goals doesn't impede on useful language features.

Utilitarianism and consequentialism are very dangerous; they make it too easy for people to justify murder by doing a little moral arithmetic and (consciously or subconsciously) putting their finger on the scale by selectively considering or ignoring some outcomes. Peter Singer has demonstrated this himself, having seen fit to justify the murder of children for the greater good. This is why good moral philosophies have a deontological core of simple principles such as "Don't murder people."
Our clothes are cheaper...

There's a useful function in limited lifespan - things are much easier to update and upgrade. My tastes have changed a lot over the past 20 years. If my clothes lasted longer I'd have a wardrobe full of things I don't like now and wouldn't wear. If my TV lasted 20 years I'd still have an old, inefficient SD CRT box in the corner, or I'd have passed it on to someone else and maybe they'd have scrapped a functioning item now.

It's less true for basic things like toasters and pots and pans, but I suspect the lower quality is partly due to being cheaper to make and therefore more accessible. If everything is made well and costs more then wealthy people have things that last and poor people don't have things. Cheaper things balances that inequality a little.
Why don't you and Christian ask Apple for a small donation, and replace the reddit API with your own? You must have talked about the idea?

I am waiting on delivery of an iPad pro, my first apple device in 10 years. And, even though I hate reddit, I was excited to check out Apollo, if for no other reason than to see what a great ios app looks like.

I know that reimplementing reddit API from scratch will take more than a few weeks. But, I'm sure loyal Apollo users will be happy with a much scaled-down version. Maybe, to begin with you put the app in Read Only mode, and point it to a reddit archive. Then work on making one sub read/write again and expand from there.

I mean, even just a good reddit archive browser has TONS of value. I'd happily pay a small sum for an awesome reddit archive explorer.

"Chatgpt, build the back end for this API: $(cat reddit_api_docs)"
always important to remind ourselves that what we consider normal and outrageous is often a quite recent phenomenon (and also vastly different across social groups even in the present).
While I can't predict detail, I am 100% with this prediction: in 200 years, should we still be around, people will look at our ways of handling things as outrageous, and this will include things we find completely unremarkable and wouldn't give a second thought to.
Well this makes me feel very validated since I’ve had subtitles on probably since the mid 90’s, and I was always asked why do you have those on, are you hard of hearing-I was only in my 20’s but I also had a rail attached to my tub too! Lol Not only do I use subtitles but I like to change the color and font of them too.
Hummmm... Thanks for the downvote?

If anyone sees anything wrong with my statement, I'm happy to discuss. Hopefully I'll learn something new.
This is a false argument that destroys the soul of tech.

We are paying for pretty much everything and in countless different ways (including taxes)

The idea that the only way "to pay" is to some oligopoly keen on surveillance capitalism is absurd. If well-intentioned it is just self-limiting.
About halfway through this blog post the topic of LLM "personas" is mentioned, and while the given examples are mostly just jokes, the actual use case for that would solve the problem you perceive of this UX, in that you could simply use a persona that is more concise.

But to answer the "why?" - likely because this type of AI is a tool that is going to become universal very rapidly, and the overwhelming majority of the population has little to no understanding of the finer details of the technology. So the default persona has been fine-tuned to include the annoying "as an AI language model [...]" disclaimer very frequently, amongst other disambiguations, couched remarks, and clarifications that a power user would not necessarily require.

10~17x faster than what? A performance analysis of Intel' x86-SIMD-sort(AVX-512)
I spent the last couple months working on this writeup, looking forward to feedback and questions. Hope you find this insightful.
What does the Apple Vision Pro offer in terms of expanded vision? Can I zoom in on something while wearing them? Can I use them to see into the Infrared spectrum? What about decoding QR Codes in real time and displaying the metadata?

One use case for me would probably be to wear them around the house (or at the grocery) and expand the text on labels. Being over 50, my presbyopia forces me to constantly have my glasses available. If I used AVP I wouldn't need glasses, right? What about hooking it up to my Tesla so that I can drive with them on and not have to look down to see my current speed? Talk about a HUD!

Or what about expanding our natural capabilities? FLIR cameras are getting pretty reasonable; could there be an add-on for detecting heat patterns? Or what about visualizing ultrasonic waves; like in "The Dark Knight"?

You can build what you want. Xavier says this on his site:

My name is Xavier Salazar (he/him), and I love emoji. I currently work full-time at @slackhq and work remotely from Portland, OR I spend more time than my manager knows creating and perfecting the silliest little ideas for the internet.
I've been able to cover the costs of these projects by myself, but, at the end of the day, they are not free. Supporting me, even only for a couple dollars, goes a long way in making sure I can continue to create and support these projects.
See that's where you're not thinking it through.

Construct the neural nets as lisp list structures. Now you can write functions and macros to operate on the internals.

The self-modifying nature of lisp allows ideas like optimizations, recognizing sections that have rich internal structure but sparse connections as a hint that there is some "clustered idea", etc.

The "it's just matrices" crowd have not really explored the deeper ideas.
Nobody was obligated to do anything. We had a lot of space in the office and she could have happily watched TV on her laptop and done some coloring in the corner with me. I would have left if she was disruptive, but she was very calm. The design department came and took her because they wanted to. I didn't ask them to look after her, I was actually reluctant to let her get involved. I would never have asked someone else to look after my kid, they actively wanted to involve her and asked me about bringing her in again.

I think in the circumstances your resignation would have made you look a total prat.
You have to specify what to do with the other non-aggregate fields you selected, otherwise your query is ambiguous. What should happen with the orderid? Let's say there are 2 orders with the same emp_name. You are grouping by emp_name: which order id to display?

You need to group by orderid and contactname also, if you are doing grouping. Or drop them from your query.
