> The machine I'm using to type this comment is also a finite state machine, as due to having non-infinite memory, it also cannot count arbitrarily high

Come on, can we drop this useless trivia that floats around? No, computers are Turing-machines for all practical purposes and no the memory is not the tape, unless your computer is sandboxed from everything. As soon as it has some side effect channels, its “tape” can be as large as needed. For example, it can use the internet to store petabytes of state. But if we want to be more pedantic, it can control and observe physical things, making the whole universe its state space.

Which is still finite, so yeah, even more pedantically you are right due to mathematical infinity not existing, but the actual distinction of a Turing machine is “lazy”, if you don’t hit the limit, you may as well reason as if it were a Turing machine.
This stuns me for some reason. I was not explicitly aware of this. Why? Just left over momentum from something? Is there a bias in direction (overall or among subsets)?
Hmm which ad types did you choose that were not intrusive? Where was the "turn off personalisation" feature?

If I could make google ads fit the above I would just go with that as it seems like the most straight forward way to go.

Maybe. Sound travels longer distances in water than in air, but there still is a limit. And hydrophone chains and buoys are probably not dense enough to hear everything.

Volume is also an issue, the Titan is far smaller than a military sub, so the sonar spike corresponding to the implosion will be shorter and of a smaller amplitude.

The sonar on their surface vessel should have picked up the noise, if they have one that does recordings and passive mode. But I guess they were too cheap for that as well, since no regular sonar surveilance of the sub is mentioned in the press.
Driving a brand new product from the ground up is not in the job description for almost all levels. Only maybe if you're one step below Distinguished Engineer.
It's UI infuriates me quite frequently, options, menus, projects all the useful things are hidden behind UI elements which requires to click constantly to reveal items. All of that while plenty of unused blank space is available on the screen, fucking dumb.

That's absolutely right. That said, people don't usually take exam output of unprepared students and expect it to be useful :)
Because an implosion is a single point of failure leading to instant death. Anything else can be salvaged by staying calm and using one of multiple ways to resurface.
> it would be great if everything was a file

This is a bad design. Process is not a file because you cannot send signals to a file, or cannot debug a file. Network socket is not a file because you cannot get file's peer address. Shared memory is not a file. And so on.
> I think that could be a great boon to society.

Provided it uses all that additional brainpower effectively. Can we honestly say that currently all the smart people are realising their potential?

Also, could well be a curse instead. Imagine society only performing this well thanks to a steady supply of the stuff.

Actually, we already have that in the form of fossil fuels and while they enabled massive progress, their supply hinges on authoritarians having their way in some corners of the world.
Bitwarden, and keepassxc, support adding TOTP tokens to an account entry. Allowing you to only use the password manager for authentication, no secondary device or application necessary.
Hit the nail on the head.

Thailand and the Philippines are prime destinations for morally dubious westerners to find the "love" they never found at home.

Britain is full of middle aged men with 20-year younger SEA wives (many of whom look almost child-like). I'm amazed the Home Office looks at the "relationship" arrangement and allows all of the visas.
I feel so too. There are currently no valid alternatives I know to electron. It is sad, but this is the current state of UI frameworks, if you are targeting cross-platform with identical look and feel.

Also electron comes with its own advantages which many on HN seem to forget.

code-server for instance was very easy todo, because vscode was build using electron. It runs virtually anywhere. Uses fewer resources then most WMs on a headless device if you need a full blown IDE.
Yeah I know that "technically" we have post codes, though I've never met anyone who knows that or knows what their post code is. And I've never received any mail that uses it (not even from the government).

It's not that it doesn't work at all, but it is more effort. Even though I spent more time tinkering with lots of stuff than most (and probably still do), at least having the "Just Works™" option is nice.
Trademark protection should only apply where it prevents customer confusion.

A consumer electronics company has no business in preventing anyone from using a similar logo for selling fruit.
The difference is not mainly about CPU architecture, it’s about the standardized PC architecture vs ARM computers where you need to build a new distribution for every model.

You can easily build a kernel that will run on any PC built in the last decade and any PC that will be built in the next decade. But if you are using an ARM computer you have to run the patched kernel provided by the manufacturer.
Even black holes "rotate".

Since black holes aren't really normal objects, what we mean by that is that the sum of all the matter that created black hole had an angular momentum. This also affects their behavior.

I think the key advantage here is adding synthetic amino acids to key sites (e.g., a binding interface). It'll be easier to modify surface chemistry that way, rather than modifying the structure of the entire protein to try and subtly alter a reaction site of interest. But yes, we are a long from adding new amino acids and DNA bases to the natural alphabet - all the molecular machines we currently have are optimised for 4 bases and 20 amino acids, it's not trivial to do it better than nature!
thanks, i wasn't aware of this. that's even more than i was looking for, except, the no commercial activity rule seems a bit limiting:

Not seek profit: An organization can accept donations to sustain its work, but it can’t seek to make a profit by selling services, by charging for enhancements or add-ons, or by other means.

so i can't sell services to sustain the project? there is a large difference between earning some money to help fund the project, making barely enough to be able to work on the project fulltime and actually making enough of a profit to afford commercial services.

if i am employed and work on a FOSS project on work time, then i am not selling any services, nor am i making a profit.

if i do exactly the same but as a contractor, then i am selling a service.

you may want to elaborate how you interpret and verify this rule.

also i'd rather have less free services but a more liberal allowance on commercial activity. like a regular free account but without the user limit.

user limits are very frustrating because they prevent me from managing all potential contributors, even if they are not very active.

As a customer, I'm really excited for Jetbrains to take on experimental research projects. I love their IDEs, but they definitely have that old crusty feel, like old enterprise Windows apps and not in a good way (slow and ugly).

Yeah in the short term it's not great to have two similar homegrown frameworks. In the long term though maybe it gives their apps more options to choose from, or at least different pros and cons they can try to merge together later. Either way, it's a great step forward than having to rely on Java or Oracle directly.

Of course the web dev in me wishes they built a similar stack from Typescript instead (to compete with Electron and React Native) but I don't blame them for not doing that.
In Germany any accidents launch a criminal investigation into all involved constructing, installing and maintaining a machine. This pushes a rigorous safety thinking with clear responsibilities,but also makes safety envelope touching projects impossible.
Prepare for pushback in the form of "Who the hell will be using our site from Vietnam?"

Personally, I think a correct response is "Hey man, you wanted to sell things on the World Wide Web. If you want to exclude Vietnam, Main Street has storefronts for you to rent"
I have two categories of passwords. One for knitting forum class, and one for password manager class.

No, it isn't a crisis if someone gets my credentials to the knitting forum, the pics of acrons forum, and the local 'reserve space at the county pool' website... all in one go.

I can just change them all at once, from the letter 'a' to the letter 'b'.
There is a paper called "Solaris Zones: Operating System Support for Consolidating Commercial Workload".

It mentions aspects such as:

"At the most basic level, the kernel identifies specific zones in the same fashion as it does processes, by using a numeric ID. The zone ID is reflected in the cred and proc structures associated with each process. The kernel can thus easily and cheaply determine the zone membership of a particular process. This mapping is at the heart of the implementation."
This was a fantastic article. Thank you!

My opinion of Gibson was permanently formed when they bought Opcode and its brilliant Vision software (tens of thousands of customers) then just made sure that it died.
You don't always have 6 different projects to choose from because there just aren't that many projects that solve $problem according to your specific $requirements.

And it's also just a hassle even with good build systems, and I say this as someone who has a bunch of custom build scripts to compile stuff from source.
And then replies slowly devolve into arguing about irrelevant things that were solved with the existence of Linux because plan9 sucks and Linux is just a kernel which is actually used by people and therefore they actually found ways to solve problems they were most annoyed by.

All these "X is poor man's Y" are a cope. Plan9 is poor man's <insert any operating system that is supposedly inferior to Plan9> because noone uses it. I'm sure on most people the irony of this statement will be lost, so I'm gonna explain: yeah, plan9 is better on paper, too bad we live in glass world.
I think maybe you are overreacting. No one is saying they’re bad or stupid. It is understandably difficult to get right when they probably have very limited insight into why some people might abandon a payment.

But in the end, the effect is that they lost a sale to a competitor who got it right this time.

I use both, though I still prefer JetBrains IDE for coding.
I've never put much thought into this but given a "linux x86" binary package, on what range of machines is it supposed to work? for instance, what's x86 mean exactly? I suppose all x86 processors have slightly different sets of instruction. Also, different linux kernels may have different sets of syscalls?

I dispute that. Does the Nintendo Switch have a password manager?
The texts like this say sometimes more about the author than the object of the text: IMO the author completely missed the deeper levels about the individual living soaked in lies, but recognizing them and, in his case, literally sailing "to the end of the world" to escape. The author wrote from the spectator perspective, not from the person's escaping.
Yeah I use those tricks too. As you say they work 90% of the time. Sometimes I have to write "P 25 Q Tan Binh" or even "P25QTanBinh" if the second address line has stupid restrictions.

I also use 700000 for HCMC even though that isn't actually accurate for anything except the main post office in District 1. You can actually put in any number since no website does anything with it. Which you sometimes have to do when they tell you that "700000 is too long for a post code, must be 5 digits or less".

AFAIK the "accurate" post codes for Vietnam (that no one ever uses) are:

>Instead of "everything is a file", "everything implements well-documented object-oriented interfaces" would be much better idea.
Why "object-oriented" specifically? Is this in any sense different from non object-oriented interfaces, eg. Rust's traits or Go's interfaces, or just to make it more clear that you're talking about interfaces in the programming languange sense?
I've got a Matriarch and it's a wonderful piece of equipment. I hope they keep things as they are.
Why did they end up where they are?

Some things that I often wonder:

- why are the fundamentals of philosophy not taught as part of standard curriculum?

- why do the fundamentals of philosophy not play a bigger role in journalism and mainstream/official discourse?

- why do few people wonder about this and other obvious(?) things? Might that be related to the preceding points?

- will this ever change, enough to carry the day considering our load of problems (known, unknown, mistaken, etc)?
And yet humans are not unrestrained free rational actors but instead exist in systems of dominance and hierarchy. In most places of the world it's literally impossible for you to simply withdraw from society and live on your own in the wilds because there are no wilds, just somebody else's property. You're born into debt and servitude through the mere biologically reality of needing food and shelter and not having any way to access these without indebting yourself to someone else.

You do not need to be greedy to contribute to a system built on greed. Being born into that system, forced to contribute to it at the penalty of starvation and death and taught and raised not to question or even comprehend the system is enough.
It would be funny if there was a community effort to make a schematic of the Neutron or Proton, design a board, and have it manufactured at JLCPCB or wherever. Sell it as a kit with all the SMD components already populated, all you have to do is solder in the through-hole jacks and pots and whatever. Use a Eurorack module form factor so it doesn't need an enclosure. Sell it at cost, which would probably be way less than the Behringer product sells for.
But many already have API endpoints because you have to serve native apps too.

My question was, does LiveView also help you in a Backend-for-Frontend case?
That's been my experience too!
The "infringing party" has existed and used this logo since a good 50 years before Apple Inc was founded.

I kinda hope the Swiss Apple company turns this around and sues Apple for trademark infringement, since they can prove using it for longer, and according to Apples own argument, the fact that they're in completely different industries apparently doesn't matter.

Yup — and the standard phone authenticator app pretty much guarantees you'll lose your second factor one day, unless you always upgrade your phone before it breaks.
Under water, sonar could pick them up, but sonar is mostly "look down". If a current dragged them somewhere outside the immediate vicinity, they'll be hard to find, because the search vessel needs to be within at most 4km to find them in the water if they are drifting. Far less on the ground, because eliminating and processing ground echos is extremely hard.

If they are on the surface, getting them by sonar is not possible, but aerial surveillance might find them. However, things are very hard to see in the ocean if there are waves. They might have an AIS locator which would transmit their position and an emergency signal, but maybe they skimped on that too, because the submarine-rated ones are expensive.
You could register a second account and run finch (command-line version of pidgin) on the server where you store the logs.
instead of having smarter autocorrect (which i'll probably disable anyway), i would heavily suggest changing the keyboard back to what it was in iOS 6 or 7. I don't remember exactly which version they started screwing up, but since that day my typing error rates have easily multiplied by 1.5
"Picking the right binary for the right architecture", isn't your OS package manager supposed to take care of that? Cross-compiling is often pretty easy if you have custom binaries.

There is a big advantage to using different OSes/architectures with the same programs (compiled to target the right combination of hardware and OS) : it often helps detect subtle bugs, that may not manifest on one platform but be obvious on the next.
The speed of training is really interesting to me too. Llambda labs rent out 8 A100s for ~$9-12/hour. Total training cost there would be ~$850-1200. Another ~$2000 for the GPT training data, some more given there would be input tokens too.

Very approachable prices.

Just a note that this is GPT3.5 (I assume turbo?).

I don't really know much about TVs, but in my experience, Apple certainly makes long-lasting products — my 2008 and 2012 macbooks and 2014 phone are still in good shape, albeit with dead batteries. In cars, from a second-hand experience (I don't drive and hope to never start), Volvo still has great quality.

Personally, I know more about clothes. Once you switch from fast fashion (Zara, Bershka, Uniqlo) to quality brands (for me, it's Rick Owens, Margiela, Thom Krom and McQueen, adjust for your personal style), they do last a lot longer — I still wear T-shirts that I bought in 2016. However, it means that I shop much less often, own much less clothes and they're all the same style (and the same colour — full black). And I see that people pay lip service to degrading quality, but what majority of them _actually_ want is a lot of regular dopamine from shopping and a wide variety of garments.

You can eat out at fast-food everyday, or spend the same budget to eat at a Michelin-stared place once a couple of weeks (1 star; 2 or 3 stars it would be once a month or more). People tend to choose the former, but then blame "the industry" for their own choices.
Of course. Theoretically, the determinant answers the binary question "singular" or "nonsingular".

Numerically, such a binary answer is pretty useless. Here, we need a measure of how singular/nonsingular a matrix is relative to the numerical precision we are working with.
quite often, this is a major indicator of how quality is valued in an organisation.

Whether we are talking about open-source or not, there has to be a commitment to excellence at all levels of the product, as would be expected in any other real-world manufacturing.
thrownness?
This is why I'm eagerly waiting for LiveView Native. That will remove the need for front-end APIs entirely.
Out of interest how do sentence embeddings work. I just got to the point of understanding what a transformer "does".

So you have token embeddings, but tokens are too small to be useful.

Is "what a sentence means" encoded as a vector once you have passed the embeddings through a transformer or two?
There is, the property of being a Turing machine would only be thrown out when you actually hit the limit. Besides computers being able to modify state not only in their memory but e.g. outside memory, I can also look at my computer as a lazy-taped Turing machine that chugs along writing only to its memory, and when it were to go off it pauses and waits for me to add additional memory.

This is just useless pedantism that diminishes the very imporrant categorization of Chomsky.

I remember trying to figure out what's up with Go and left in complete disbelief when I was told that I need to install nginx on my local machine and fake a DNS entry just for go's package manager to "fetch" my local package from my local machine just so I could mess around with it how that works.

All because I couldn't care less about 3rd party services like github.
I disagree with the author:

1. We could gradually port Linux `ioctl` to Plan9 namespaces, if there was understanding they greatly simplify Docker.

2. Docker and virtualization are one of most important applications of Linux, but there is still not even a proof-of-concept implementation of such on Plan9.

3. We don't need a complete rebuilding of Linux to make it more like Plan9. Both Windows and Mac OS X is an example of system that underwent radical redesigns of several subsystems.

4. All features of Plan9 could be brought to Linux by adding modules for alternative system interfaces, and deprecating old ones or blocking them with security capabilities.
The PDF itself was created in 2005 and the file date in the parent directory the same date as the PDF, so that's the absolute latest date, but I'd also guess 1999 for the original paper. Not sticking a date on it without a bit more certainty, though.
