A related item https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23295041. The article mentions Patrick Dussud as the Lisp guru who moved to Mcirosoft. He then wrote the .NET runtime garbage collection in Lisp and translated it to C/C++ in the .NET code. Obviously it has been tremendously extended over the decades but you can still see the original quirkiness in the source files (now open sourced).
Very basic overview: A token is assigned a number, that number gets passed into the encoder model with other token numbers, and the encoder model transforms those number sequences into embeddings (vectors)
Yes you are right, that came down to me after I hit the submit button. But consider my train of thought more an associative one.

I'd like an UI similar to the mobile one.
I brought up the origin thing because for lots of extensions I would like that kind of UI for origin control. Origin control is part of WebExtension API, but it's during installation, which forces even well-meaning developers to request overly broad permissions for some kinds of extensions.

Your world does, and I know that it does for many. But mine absolutely doesn't -- there isn't anything critical I use that is browser-based. And many are like me.

Different strokes and all that.
On Reddit, the norm is often making jokes in the comments whereas here on HN ideally we're sticking to the topic at hand or posting some anecdotes related to it. Jokes just worsen the signal:noise ratio here.

Imagine reading RFC discussions but needing to skip every 3rd comment because it's just a pun.
While I'm not a lawyer, I'd be very surprised if a case couldn't be made with this behavior.

I am a lawyer. I can say, with 100% certainty, that this case would never make it to trial. It's unlikely that Christian would even make it to discovery, as based on the facts stated, by Christian himself, even viewed in the light most favorable to Christian, he does not have any colorable legal claims.

Very interesting insight into the Explorer development, thanks for posting the link!

Some (possibly) interesting comments:

- "later I think TI made (or tried to make) a plug-in card version of the TI Explorer for Macs" - this was the MicroExplorer NuBus card for Mac II-series machines, which was somewhat popular. Symbolics also built a NuBus Lisp machine board for Macs.

- "This machine had one of the largest CPUs ever made until that time, something like half a million transistors." The original version of the Explorer (Explorer I) implemented the CPU in TTL logic (plus microcode ROMs and PROMs to implement some logic functions) on two large NuBus boards, the integrated version was later used in the Explorer II and MicroExplorer.

- "the entire computer division was sold off to HP soon after I left" - one of the sad stories, HP destroyed a number of companies after they took over. In addition to TI's computer department (the TI990 16 bit machines were sold to some other company), Apollo, Tandem and DEC (via Compaq) suffered a similar fate.

- "Pretty sure the sale included a sweet little Unix box". This was the TI1500, a 680x0-based asymmetric multiprocessor machine running TI System V (SVR3) with some pretty advanced concepts for its time (such as software RAID/striping), which was also based on NuBus. You could add a TI 68020 CPU board to an Explorer and run Unix on the side. I used to service and admin TI1500 machines as a student and am possibly the last person on Earth with the source code for TI's version of gcc (a horribly hacked version of gcc-1.37 in which the TI-specific code was #ifdef'd into the hp300 backend...). Back in the 90s, I had to request the code from TI in the US (after the division was sold to HP) and received a QIC tape with the gcc/binutils code some weeks later.

The whole NuBus system was based on the NuMachine concept developed at MIT and later Western Digital (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuMachine). TI bought the rights to NuBus in 1983, Apple and NeXT later adopted the system for their 68k machines. It would be interesting to know why they didn't go with Motorola's own VME bus.

Fun trivia: Swissair used to run their whole booking system on TI Explorers and for some years in the 90s tried to buy every used Explorer system that was available to keep their systems running after the hardware was discontinued (http://lemonodor.com/archives/2002/10/ti_explorer_fam.html).
More generally, we should be skeptical of all new information we learn. What makes someone more trustworthy than an LLM? For science we need experiments, theories, mechanisms, etc. For history we need sources, ideally primary, and working from there. For math we need proofs.

Knowledge is much more fallible than many appreciate. Many of the “universal” truths of today were once unknown or controversial. Our understanding of the world is built on a giant set of shoulders, of all those who have come before us. We do ourselves a great disservice not to acknowledge, understand, and appreciate how something came to be “true”.
First is usually not a huge worry. There are times where you are competing with someone else in the same field and want to be first. But most of the time you are just hoping someone is interested enough to get additional funding to peruse the project. The researcher wants their results published via the most respected publisher possible. The publisher wants to increase their respect(and desirability) by picking the most respectable results. If the researcher is unable to to get published by the ideal respectable source they will have to settle with a less respectful source.

How much does having a consistent "look" lend itself to the perceived professionalism and respect a journal has?

Scattered additional thoughts on desirability of publishing platforms.

* Self publish(and hope you are famous enough to get noticed)
* Publishing company that does little to no checking of papers.
* open web based publishing.
* corporate researcher, all published results stay in corporate library.
Happy to hear it worked out well for you. My point isn't to dismiss military as a career.

It's more about if you are a teenager deciding to join military because you believe the things a psyops egirl on TikTok told you, it's very likely that a series of disappointments is awaiting for you there on top of the opportunity cost of your wrong choice.
It is software behaviour in 95% of cases yes. At least on Android. iOS I don't know.

The Librem is ancient hardware for a top tier price and has a 20 week delivery time. The pinephone... Well yeah it's usable though the switches are under the back panel and can't be moved by hand, you need a pen, tweezer or toothpick or something as far as I've heard.
Pyrex is just tempered glass now. You have to trawl yard sales and antique shops to find the borosylicate version.

It certainly will, but not Apollo’s handling as you so desperately want, for whatever reason.

Reddit fucked up, are probably going to lose a chunk of their most active users and volunteer moderators, and will probably materially damage their IPO as a result of this.

You seem to be one of very few people who refuse to even remotely consider this idea.
Exactly. I just took a rented Kia Niro EV on a road trip to the eastern Sierra. I was so, so jealous of the Tesla charger network. I had to download apps for Electrify America, EV-Go, and ChargePoint, and had to use them all.

I've only used Electrify America chargers, but you can charge using just a credit/debit card.

When I had my gas car, I often used an app at gas stations, primarily to avoid card skimmers. (Tap to pay isn't ubiquitous at the pump)
I love my 3rd party Reddit app, but when their business model is either 1) don’t show Reddit’s ads and instead show their own ads, or 2) charge a fee to remove all ads (including Reddit’s) - it does feel like it was just a matter of time before this happened.

Reddit should have said Reddit premium users can use 3rd party clients / unlimited API calls. Messaging something like: If you want no-ads you have to pay Reddit (not someone else), but if you feel their client is better feel free to use it. The landscape for 3rd party clients would probably still dry up (who wants to pay 2x subscription fees), but it would have been better PR.

Hard problem to solve. I wonder what the best effort-per-payoff is in this scenario. Perhaps cutting out plastic water bottles would be 90% of the benefit, and the plastic containers for food is 10% of the benefit but tremendously more effort -- I don't know (never did research on this).
Granted, yes, but I think that most developers who ask "can this device make a phone call?" are actually asking the question whether the human operator of the device can have a conversation over the telephone, so yeah.
You actually posted a link to a news article about a study, not a link to a study. And no, it doesn't contradict my statement that there's nothing wrong with consuming sucralose. It by itself is a piece of evidence, and doesn't by itself override decades of evidence.

Nicotine at least is probably more commonly consumed via alternative means now (in North America, in <40 demographics at the very least)

Vaping would likely be the most common, but there are also patches, gum, lozenges, dip, and snuff. I've never heard of anally consumed nicotine though
I don’t like the idea of giving Reddit mods even more power, at all. I’d much rather see users empowered to share Usenet style kill-lists and whatnot. But I have a bad feeling that my desired Goldilocks zone between 2023 Reddit’s overmoderation and 2023 Twitter’s hyper-radicalization engine is very narrow. Social media moderation might be an intractable problem at scale.

I don’t know what the solution is, but I’m really rooting for Reddit to crash and burn. I miss the old internet…

It’ll be interesting to see how Blue Sky shakes out, if and when it opens up to the public.
When the risk is significant but there's no viable solution, it's also reasonable to ignore it. There's no way to fix the microplastic problem at the individual level so the best thing to do is to ignore it. Actively avoiding plastics will only cause hardships without any significant results in exposure.
Basically every claim in your comment is wrong:

* iCloud Photo Library was not scanned for CSAM content at the time of the announcement, which Apple confirmed at the time.

* iMessage E2E encryption is not opt-in. There isn't even an opt-out.

* The "E2EE features" you might be referring to is Advanced Data Protection for iCloud Backups, which is not related to the iMessage protocol at all. You don't have any guarantees about what your recipients are doing with the data you send them, ever.

There is US law which is ambiguous about the requirement on data providers to check content for CSAM material, which many have interpreted to require a check. This is why every other major cloud provider does scan for the content.
Old encyclopedias are gold mines for seeing how society has changed. In 1950s encyclopedias, Christmas is listed as a pagan ritual. In modern entries, it is listed as a Christian holiday. I first became aware of this in the 90s, so in 40 years, a group rose to power enough to get encyclopedias to update as they saw fit. So, that in itself is information gleaned from an encyclopedia that wasn't actually written in the pages.
The green GPT icon in the chat would indicate it's GPT-3.5 right? GPT-4 is purple, at least for me.
congrats on the extended vacation! this should be common behavior, and is not.

take the summer and chill, without any guidelines or expectations. this may feel weird at first. creativity is the residue of time wasted.

then do some more structured and ambitious adventuring in the fall. if that feels annoying, continue to chill.

in winter, start thinking about which kind of people you’re interested in working for, and try to figure out where they are and how to reach them.

tldr; summer is just the beginning!

wrt to technical topics to mess around with, follow your own curiosities. for me it’s gamedev, ops/infra, and data/secrets management.

it looks like you’re interested in rust. in case you haven’t seen it, checkout #showcase in bevy’s discord server. lots of people posting cool stuff in there.

I don't get it — the trailer says it's "inspired by a true story", but wasn't this completely debunked? [1]

Apparently the creators of the film don't dispute that the story about the janitor isn't true, [2] so then how are they claiming that it's inspired by a true story? Is the "story" they're referring to the fact that Flamin' Hot Cheetos were in fact invented, by someone?

I always just save a copy of the repo (usually we make a special "deliverables" branch), delete the .git and zip it and put it on our MFT server, for which I provide the customer a login.
I have one of their “iconic” puffy jackets. I bought it cheap at a gear swap because it has a tiny rip. That has never worsened, which I believe is a property of the material. The polyester is quite durable.

I wear it about a third of the year here in Seattle. In the five years I have owned it I have washed it maybe once and possibly never. I don’t even wear it in the rain often because I have a rain shell which is also plastic and also doesn’t get washed.

I do also have some hemp pants from Patagonia. I wear those often. They made it about three years before they needed to go in to have pockets repaired from cell phone damage. Those fibers require farm land and water to grow. Repairs help mitigate that damage but it still exists.

I’m honestly not sure which garment has the most negative effect on the environment.
Sort of. The bigger issue is that in larger OoOE cores, the predicate ends up being a speculation barrier if you don't predict it. So you need hardware similar to a branch predictor guessing those predicates. At that point it's easier to just point people towards conditional jumps where you ostensibly have very good branch prediction if you have any sort of predictability and spend your gate budget there where it's more likely to be more generally used.

What if fusion is impossible though, from an engineering perspective? Why not continue to pursue fission using safer, modern reactor designs? It works. The timelines for fusion, if it ever works, are too long.
I think the item you're missing is that because they are fuel-inefficient and quite old, the planes are acquired by Fedex/UPS/etc for a very low price after having been used by passenger airlines.

If you can buy something for very cheap, and only need to use it infrequently, it isn't a huge problem if it's inefficient for that use a few hours per day.
There is the one called "windows sandbox" but it's not persistent making it useless.

> That is I see no deliberate "lying" coming from the reddit CEO.

Days afterward, spez got on a conference call and falsely claimed that Christian was blackmailing him. An employee of Reddit itself affirmed that he said it in a summary of the call they posted to a (private) sub of high-level moderators, replicated here:

https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/143rk5p/reddit_he...

(The summary in the main thread was written by members of the community on the call, the comment I linked is Reddit’s own summary.)

Reddit has also repeated the same claim off-the-record to multiple journalists.
> but the comparison seems disingenuous, and I'd expect more from someone in academia.

And delivered with sarcasm and condescension. Not good to see, but par for the course on social media.
> Respectfully, I think you're mistaken, the comment you responded to was "I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with a young child on a bike." This is clearly not a "how should we retailor society?" claim, it's a "in our existing society, what is safest for my kid?" claim. If you manifest a society in which cycling is comparably safe to driving, I'll send my kid to school by bike.

If you’re just going to cherry pick comments from a thread chain, and ignore the rest of the discussion, then there isn’t much point discussing anything with you.
I suspect it's too late to stop much of the madness. Reddit took $1.4 billion in VC money, and like mobsters, VCs like to get paid back without much regard to how it happens. Even if the Reddit workers unionized, I suspect that Reddit's execs would happily fire every union member rather than significantly jeopardize their IPO. After all, Twitter shows how you can fire the great bulk of your staff, treat the remainder horribly, and still have a content site limp along for quite a while without immediately dying.
Certainly, in a MIPS/W or MIPS/$, the RasPi beats the pants off the old laptop (Edit: which I now remember was a Dell Precision M65, which specs say weighed 2.81kg (6.2lb) (likely without extra battery), whereas my current MBP M1 Pro is 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs) so more than half as heavy!)

But I had the mistaken assumption that 15+ years of Moore's Law would certainly leave the old laptop in the dust, in the same way that "modern smartphone more powerful than an old supercomputer". It was interesting to be corrected!
