I'm in Canada and keep thinking of ditching Netflix but I keep procrastinating maybe today is the day. Or tomorrow since Monday is my billing date $24.14 for Premium.

I can't recall when I last watched Netflix. Streaming services are the gym membership of the 21st century the companies hope we forget or find it a pain to cancel.
There's tiered levels of what's called "stamp duty" in Australia (at least some states anyway), which is a tax charged on all property purchases paid by the buyer. And some council rates (effectively a type of property tax) are differential, based on the type & value of your property.
Utterly horrifying. God help any country that resembles the one described in this article.

I still think LLMs are a game changer. They are seemingly amazing at deducing meaning and intent from natural language. That's enough to be a game changer. Is it a game changer like the internet is/will-be? No. Is it on the level of the television or the telephone? Probably not. But you can still leverage it in many ways to add value or reduce human work.

If we're talking about LLMs as general purpose AI or a tool to replace programmers... mostly a fail so far. LLMs seem like they could eventually be a component of something bigger, but I don't see a line between what they are and general purpose AI.
You can do this on iPhone so I strongly assume you can on android too. For iOS you can use Userscripts or Stay or other apps/extensions and they can import greasemonkey scripts to auto load on specific domains. I never thought about fixing hackernews... have to look for some good scripts now
Ads will typically be more profitable for most things entertainment. Entertainment is generally cheap and far more profitable industries can pay more for ads than users are willing to spend.

People here are balking at paying like $10 a month for Netflix if they can't split it but likely take it as a given that you need to spend several hundreds each month for insurance.

Putting papers and code on arXiv shouldn't be punished. The incentive to do this is to protect your idea from getting scooped, and also to inform your close community on interesting problems that you're working on and get feedback. ArXiv is meant for work in progress ideas that won't necessarily stand the peer review process, but this isn't really acknowledged properly on social media. I highly doubt the Twitter storm would have been this intense if the twitter posts explicitly acknowledged this as a "Draft publication which hints as X." But I admit that pointing fingers at nobody in general and social media specifically is a pretty lazy solution.

The takeaway IMO seems to be to prepend the abstract with a clear disclaimer sentence conveying the uncertainty of the research in question. For instance, adding a clear "WORKING DRAFT: ..." in the abstract section.
As much as I hated having to wait for a show to come on TV I do miss the mass event that was watching Game of Thrones when it airs. Especially the last season with watch parties and stuff.

But nobody complains that the grocery store didn't warn them in advance.

So why does the article's headline think that price changes are supposed to be pre-announced? Netflix has done plenty of things that legitimately deserve criticism, but not pre-announcing a price change is a silly thing to judge them for.

It's a clickbait headline, trying to stir up outrage where it doesn't even make sense.

The streaming service that is now majority self produced content has to have region lock? To everything?

Genuinely cool story
This was it for me as well. I realized I spent more time browsing the catalogue trying in vain to find something good than I did time spent actually watching things. The way it went is I think "I want to watch X", then realize Netflix doesn't have X, then spend 2 hours mindlessly browsing the catalogue for anything that might scratch the X itch and eventually give up then watch half of something else before quitting.

Now I just torrent X and watch it.
After doing some more research, it really doesn't help that GitHub has a GraphQL query to get a user by login and no obvious query to get a user by ID.

What's tricky is that GitHub API docs[1] appears to explicitly recommend passing the username and not the ID. Both the GraphQL and the REST versions tell you to get a user by passing a username.

> The cost of keeping that capacity for only using a week a year isn't priced into solar either.

Keeping gas power plants around for backup power isn’t all that expensive since fuel accounts for two thirds of their cost of generation.

Offshore wind is far more expensive than onshore wind and solar but even so costs about a third of new nuclear power, with strike prices in the UK of £37/MWh vs £106/MWh for Hinckley Point C. Maybe keeping gas backup adds another £15/MWh to that but it still works out at half the cost of nuclear.

By building more France will probably get nuclear costs down some, but even so will struggle to be competitive with renewables and backup.

> But yeah Germany's approach is really working!

Germany’s approach of keeping coal plants around while closing existing nuclear is extremely dumb.

I'd look to how NATO ran out of PGMs etc when fighting in Libya. I didn't see a big uptick in arms purchases after that. Also, Germany recently crowed about sending 1000 155mm artillery rounds. That's like 3 hours of firing at Ukraine's current rate. The reason Germany has been so slow to provide weaponry to Ukraine is that it is a shell of its former self. The Kriegsmarine has been a joke for decades, the Luftwaffe can barely put 60 aircraft in the air, and the Heer has fewer tanks than Poland, and most of these tanks are in poor condition and shared with the Netherlands.

NATO is not what it was before 1989, and will take decades to come back up to a minimally acceptable level.

> Conclusion
In conclusion, this study found that psilocybin induces a time- and construct-related differentiation of effects on creative thinking, suggesting that psychedelics could be a novel tool to investigate underlying neural mechanisms of the creative process1,24. In addition, these findings add some support to the historical claims that psychedelics can influence aspects of the creative process, reducing conventional, logical thinking, and giving rise to novel thoughts, but emphasizes the distinction between spontaneous and deliberate creative cognition, as well as acute and persisting effects of the drug.
I was a ~10 year account as we kept for our based and cycled through a second options every month or few.

I cancelled on a combination of sharing, as my sister used and that stopped me cancelling earlier, plus general content got more limited for my tastes.

Many people seem similar as me, and this is a world where scale matters.

I actually wonder if it would be good regulation that government seperated streaming from creating/owning catalogues. I'm not sure if correct but I suspect otherwise we will have a small number of players controlling what the world watches which tends to be a bad thing.
Interesting that for a company dedicated to privacy, the default checked option is to send in anonymous usage statistics...
It is not easy to program Xeon Phi if you want to get performance. It is easy to run any application on it, but it is also easy to run it slower than a cheaper Xeon with much less core count.

It was a big experiment, and it failed. Some of the brightest people have tried to push it to the limit. In my circle, I have never heard anyone missing Xeon Phi when it is discontinued.

> In contrast mathematical proofs tend to be absolutely bullet proof.

They really, really do not. It's why an initial proof of the four coloring theorem was believed for a decade before a flaw was discovered. History has quite a few examples of proofs believed to be correct for years that turned out to be flawed.

Read the quotes from William Thurston's essay in the comment I linked to. I've spent time with professional mathematicians, and they say that finding errors in papers is not at all unusual - I've seen estimates as high as a third of papers have an error.[1] This doesn't concern them as even though there are errors, they have good reasons to believe the correctness of the theorems and freely will use them as references to their own work. Thurston's essay goes into detail as to why that is.

> I can only assume that the mathematician who wrote the quote in your footnote was talking about maths notation vs computer language syntax.

While the quote I supplied was in the context of notation, the essay addresses the wider issue.

> But software doesn't need to be anywhere near logically correct to run

Indeed, and his analogous statement is that proofs don't need to be completely correct to believed :-)

I believe he cites Wile's proof of Fermat's theorem. At the time of writing, he had presented his proof and a flaw had been found - the fixes came after his essay. So at that time, he knew the proof had problems. Yet he points out most people believed that Wile's approach was correct, and resolving the problems in his proof were a matter of detail.
This wasn't a matter of faith. Those mathematicians understood the theory Wiles used well enough to have a good intuition that the reasoning was sound. It was certainly challenging to resolve the bug(s) in his proof - the Wikipedia page indicates he almost gave up. But I suspect that had this been a less dramatic theorem, the pressure to fix the flaws would not really be there.

Of course, at times that intuition turns out to be surprisingly wrong. But those tend to be the exceptions.

[1] This link points out that about 1.4% of published papers have corrections: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/291890/what-percentage-of...

However, I believe that most flaws that are found are not corrected (i.e. the author doesn't bother sending in a correction).

Here is an anecdote from Kevin Buzzard, who is a proponent of formalizing proofs using computers:

> It is true that there are holes in some proofs. There are plenty of false lemmas in papers. But mathematics is robust in this extraordinary way. More than once in my life I have said to the author of a paper "this proof doesn't work" and their response is "oh I have 3 other proofs, one is bound to work" -- and they're right.

...

> But until then I think we should remember that there's a distinction between "results for which humanity hasn't written down the proof very well, but the experts know how to fill in all of the holes" and "important results which humanity believes and are not actually proved".

There is an insightful video review of this paper by Yannic Kilcher: https://youtu.be/Tkijsu129M0?t=30

TL;DW - Their approach is to sequentially test methods, moving on to the next if one fails. However, this strategy is flawed as it requires ground truth, particularly for multi-choice answers. The analogy could be made to continually rolling a dice until landing on six. Similarly, if a question has four potential answers, the model merely has to attempt four times to stumble upon the correct response. And then they report 100% success rate.
Their total yearly funding just increased to $1.5 billion, or less than 0.5% of the $340 billion cost they are publishing here.

Read what Feynman had to say about that, in "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman."
> Following a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group design, we demonstrated that psilocybin (0.17 mg/kg) induced a time- and construct-related differentiation of effects on creative thinking.

Can we please stop pretending that double-blind is remotely an option for psychedelic research. The purpose of subject blinding is that the subject will not know if they received the treatment so that both groups have equal placebo effect. Psilocybin is active in such a way that it is obvious to the subject if they received placebo or the treatment.

I'd really like to see a psilocybin study where they give one group psilocybin, give another group an active placebo, and ask them if they think they are in the psilocybin group or active placebo group. I imagine people guess correctly >90% of the time.

It's possible to do good medical science without double-blind. Pretending that you are doing double-blind when you actually are not just generates doubts in the methodology.
Picking stocks and day-trading are gambling. There is no data suggesting otherwise.
Sure - the point is that the preprint wasn’t posted by a student without permission of their advisor, it was posted by a professor without (apparently) permission of their collaborators, who aren’t part of a monolithic lab for what it’s worth.

However, I generally agree with your take, and the response seems to me to kind of dodge the responsibility for methodology issues. that responsibility is not really compatible with the “hey we’re submitting to arxiv in a few days, last chance for comments” approach to collaboration that seems to be the minimum expected bar for signing off on the submission form that all authors are aware and agree to publication

No, the new situation is apparently that Wagner's soldiers become Russian soldiers. (Do they get a choice? Probably not.) Does that mean the Wagner Group is finished as an organization?
If you want to give critical utilities incentives, then use the stick. Put together a pentest and audit state sponsored entity that conducts regular testing and assigns numeric scores with strict criteria. Have anything other than high results lead to a significant tax of the concern's revenue, and they will comply lickety split. Self-policing, incentives, and voluntary standards are optional and so won't ensure comprehensive compliance. Like medical devices and building codes, the security of electric grid infrastructure is too important to not regulate.
So why do you solo? Honest question.
As the app grows, so will the complexity but I wouldn't want it to turn into something like Notion or Obsidian.

writedown, since it's got social features like blog posts, will feature more of them in the future. So while the complexity may grow as far as publishing features are concerned, the editor itself will remain simple and powerful :)

Ask HN: I'm looking for a website posted here a year or two ago
around 1-2 years ago a website was posted here (and has since been posted again I believe). The website is someone's personal side project where you can drag and drop text, images, and probably other things. You can connect them together with lines/string. The whole website has a very cool retro feel and I believe a frog (?) guides you through using the website.

That's what I remember. I'd love to see what's new with it, I just forgot what its name is.

It's a game-changer in that it shows computers being able to climb levels of abstraction on their own.

In the past, if you wanted programs to work with a high-level idea, you had to explicitly hand it to them. Humans had to do the work of turning data into concepts. These generative AI systems are different - they can learn abstractions from data, and manipulate them in complex ways.

Is ChatGPT a good and accurate chatbot? Maybe not. But it's a fundamental change in what computers are capable of.

> DMCA takedown, then? Or not applicable because the data is not part of the publication?

Legally, you are allowed to refuse to comply with DMCA take down notices. If you do, you are increasing your risk of being sued for copyright infringement, and increasing the potential damages if you lose – but, if you decide (in any individual case) that is a risk worth taking, you are free to take that risk. If MIT tried to issue a DMCA takedown to arXiv over this, arXiv might decide that defending their own policies is worth the risk of being sued by MIT.

> Tables 17 and 18 in the Appendix could probably be removed as they seem to verbatim copy course descriptions, as well as, maybe, Figure 4.

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: iCloud Keychain is end-to-end encrypted credential storage, and its workflow is:

Need password -> Secure system hook to Keychain -> Keychain requests unlock via (face/finger/passphrase as appropriate) -> Password decrypted and auto filled.

There are also third-party options, which can nominally use NFC keys[0] as auth factors, but I’m not currently aware of any that actually do.

Personally, I use 1Password, because I’ve still got a Windows box in my world, and need something cross-platform, and since I’m paying for it, I know it’s the product and not me.
