Yeah, I don’t know what the solution is, but I’ve certainly noticed a trend in clickbate websites reporting on preprint studies that often don’t pass peer review after the fact.

This is a major issue in scientific reporting and research in general. It’s particularly damaging because of anchoring bias.
Anyone who's seen an article covering a topic of personal interest removed due to "lack of notability" would be forgiven for assuming the bar is "important to an arbitrary few editors", because that is the bar.

From the examples I've encountered over the years, once an article is deemed irrelevant, it is deleted permanently with little to no opportunity for recovery (unless some event makes the subject suddenly more noteworthy). The reality is the most active Wikipedia editors make great contributions to the world's knowledge, but aren't exactly the most representative sample of humanity.
What is particularly harmful about the take you cite is that its not even relevant. What is relevant is the opposition to controlled burns today are more or less the exact same as they've always been I'd guess: local people who have no interest in breathing shit air for two or three weeks. By focusing on this other narrative we misunderstand today's stances on the issue, and how they might be rectified. For example, I'm sure local residents in impoverished rural areas wouldn't mind a stipend for the poor air quality during the burn period, for instance, which might make these burns more politically palatable.
I just tried and I had the same thought.
"The sum is low enough so it's not corruption" is also naive. Another side of the same coin
Honestly that sounds like the community is going to need to learn SQL and start moving into proper DBMS.
Public domain (in its normal interpretation) might even have adverse effects. It would allow sites/books to publish the standards with (un)intentional errors. Copying them as is should be free though, IMO.

They're a bit further along (scaling up from low-volume production, some installs in the wild) with a different approach to the use of iron (flow batteries).
I've been doing my work in VMs running on my local for a long time now and it works great. I got started because I wanted my development environment to be a close match for my stage and production.

For a long time I ran VirtualBox guests on a laptop host running Debian or Ubuntu. VB is great especially if you're getting started with virtual machines, it has a GUI and things are easy to understand. I used a host-only network to keep traffic inside my laptop.

If you're going to edit code inside a VM you'll need an IDE that can handle it. Emacs with tramp has served me well for years. IIRC with VSCode you have to install a server on the VM.

I do web development so I've never felt the need to run desktops inside VMs. It's nice to have some separation between work and stuff like HN but Gnome workspaces gives me just enough.

A couple years ago I levelled up and switched to KVM on a headless Debian box. This system uses bridge networking with DHCP from my router, and I use Tailscale to access my VMs from outside my LAN. You can use virt-manager (which also works for VirtualBox) but I mostly use the libvirt CLI tools and cockpit/cockpit-machines if I need something a little more visual. Caveat: I don't know how KVM would handle suspend on a laptop.
Actually, it seems like it’s just regex:

regex = r"\d{4}"
I understand the optics involved with the Wikipedia situation.

But an automated script (AnomieBot) tagged that article because it met or rather didn’t meet certain guidelines. It’s a stub article and lacked certain citations.

Why not just flesh the article out?

The “Notability” tag on Wikipedia has a different meaning than “notability” in the dictionary.

Either way, it seems like someone already removed the tag manually with the justification “clearly notable” and uploaded a better photo.

There’s still a lack of information though.
Could be that the nicotine helped make up for your caffeine deficit.
One of my favorite hikes in Oregon is a cermonial white oak grove that was crafted by generations of controlled burns. It's starting to fade, but walking the paths it's humbling to imagine what it was like at its full glory. I was also taught to think of the American genocide as a fait-accompli but of course the reality is more complex and the history has not been erased.

Failing on "trivial alterations to the same underlying domain" is a not a disproof of thought.

Your argument also implies hyp1 and 2 are exclusive, clearly both can be true, and in fact must be true, unless you are claiming that you do not "sample" from similar language to express your own thoughts? Where does your language come from then, if not learning from previous experience?
Right, but people were engaged in burning since the glaciers retreated. So there's no possible pre-burning ecology to return to since the glaciers are LONG gone and the mega-fauna all died. So we can have either unpredictable, large-scale burns or we can have predictable controlled burns that the ecosystem had adapted to for the better part of 15k years.

But the site has not changed.

Are all those people sales? If no, then those workers seem like mostly a waste of money. If yes, and they're still not profitable, then turning the company into 90+% sales is not the path to profitability either.

Do you have any non-sales explanation for what those people are doing that actually contributes to revenue?

It's not like they opened more factories and need more workers.

Though maybe they look at increased revenue and use that as the reason to hire more people because growth good, in which case any complaints about lack of profitability should be derisively laughed at.
I really like the power of D3 but I have tried and failed at learning D3.js properly, I was unable to understand basic bars and graphs but the same reason you mentioned I find it difficult to advance, SVG manipulation with a big dataset is difficult after some point to create a complex visualizations.

1 ton vehicles would actually be an improvement on the status quo, at least in the U.S. where a "small" car is usually more like 3,000 to 4,000 pounds.

Also, if self driving becomes wide-spread and successful, we're going to start seeing a lot of zero-occupant cars on the road, most likely bringing the average vehicle occupancy below 1.

> In Roman judiciary those are usually part of the law as written.

This is increasingly the case as far as UK criminal law is concerned, I think; also to an increasing extent in matters of marriage and children.

But in family law, there isn't much room for talking about precedent, because for many decades Family Court proceedings have been strictly secret. It's now opening up, slowly.

Contract and property law are rooted in custom, i.e. common law; it seems to me that it would be impossible to write down a contract law that didn't have an infinite number of cracks and corner-cases. Do judiciaries that don't have precedent have to re-litigate all those corner-cases from scratch every time?
Things still get superheated and torn apart in an implosion. Yes, the pressure hull (or its pieces) will be crushed, but the contents won't be inside (and will, in the case of less sturdy contents, likely not be intact in any recognizable form.)
At the end of the day politicians weigh the opinions of their constituents who vote them in more than experts. Given two politicians in an area, one who listens to expert advice about controlled burns, and one who buckles to public pressure surrounding local air quality or forest closures, the latter is always going to be more likely to remain in office.
Both are wildly successful in their niche markets.

I always found it a mix of amusing and annoying that my complaints about Wikipedia are usually self-defeating: "This article is bad! They should have ... okay, I should ... nevermind."

Exactly. I left a similar comment.
On a tangent, I don't see what's wrong with complaining that A ≠ B. Complaining is just the precursor to voting with your feet, and having more or less than competitor offerings is a natural point of comparison in a customer's mind.

Ask HN: Are new lines useless with LLMs?
To LLMs experts, I'm wondering if new lines (\n) are useless when prompting LLMs like GPT-4.

They are indeed very token-consuming, so knowing if it's possible to omit them is nice.

Of course I'm wondering about generation performances if omitting
Agreed. It basically makes my phone useless as a phone. I generally don't answer unrecognized calls unless I'm up for messing with a scammer, because that's who is usually calling. When I am expecting a phone call that's a problem because I sometimes don't recognize the number so don't answer. And my voicemail inbox is often just filled with this garbage.
Because she's seen all their pitches to YC. And that Social Radar of hers should get a good read on crypto bros, and so the question is how many of them are grifters and con artists trying to cash in on the next Bitcoin, and how many of them are true believers of the ideals being spouted. And how many of them are, actually, honestly, good people.
Every consultant and successful indie developer does this :-) And no, I’m not talking absolute numbers here. In fact, absolute numbers are sometimes even greater - I know a few prominent solopreneurs who are making millions/year while we argue whether this is possible on HN ;)

Show HN: Cardamom – Deploy ML to AWS Lambda with a Function Call
Hi HN!

I wanted to share my machine learning compiler, hosting ML models on AWS Lambda.

If you go to the linked page, there are instructions to run a script which generates a model using sklearn, feeds it to my endpoint, and then calls the created endpoint on lambda. In case you're unable to run a script, I've also included a video on the page.

Unlike other ML hosting services I've seen, where models are spun up behind containers, this service compiles the model down to either a static C library or WASM library, and then has a template lambda function do the HTTP parsing / argument handling / etc.

Upsides of this approach:

- You can directly embed models in applications, callable via FFI
- You can run ML in weird places, like mobile apps, embedded devices, or the browser

Downsides:

- I have to implement the model inference for each algorithm
- As such algorithm support is limited right now

My goal is to make the interface easy enough that anyone who can build a model can use it to deploy their model somewhere it can deliver value, rather than having to request an engineer's help.

I'm fine hosting models for now, but I'm also excited for building out custom integrations like running the models on mobile apps, inside existing applications via FFI, or even embedded devices.

Please let me know what you think!
Turns out it was. Only 20 years of composites work and I can make an OK guess!

Report I saw was de-lam or otherwise failed tube.

I wonder if it made a noise first? Like I assume that depth you get all sorts of noises anyhow but a 5” carbon tube, I wonder if it crackled first?
>That premise is completely contradicted by a study found two links down in the relevant links

No, it's not.

>In other words, wild animals living in a natural savanna ecosystems emit an equivalent amount of greenhouse gasses to domestic animals being grazed. Much of the land currently under agricultural use for animal agriculture would revert to savanna and grassland, with wild grazers replacing the domestic grazers.

I think you misunderstand the meaning of pastoralism - you let the animals out on the land, they eat, you bread some, then you eat some. The actual "in other words" here is that the only way to reduce the GHGs of animal agriculture is to reduce animal agriculture itself. These animals are purposefully bred to eat. All it confirms is that if you breed less animals, you produce less GHGs. The wildlife live out their whole lives, the bred animals do not.

>Don't even get me started on the degree to which these arguments ignore key issues in plant agriculture. Things like the fertilizer necessary to achieve its outputs is all fossil fuel based and carbon emitting for conventional or by products of animal agriculture for organic. We have to get to net zero - you can't reach net zero in plant agriculture any more than in animal agriculture.

Animal agriculture requires plant agriculture to exist, but the same isn't true for the reverse. It's not necessary to eat animals to get the benefits of having the animals in the system. For example, you don't have to eat honey for bees to pollinate. How do we know that? Because honeybees aren't native to the US and the native bee population got along just fine pollinating before honeybees were introduced.

Reforming and using fossil-fuel-free fertilizer is already something people are working on.

>I've seen these sort of thing again and again and again in the push to drop animal agriculture in an attempt to decarbonize our agriculture. This failure to take a systems approach leading to the wrong conclusions.

>Abandoning animal agriculture is not a silver bullet for decarbonizing our agriculture. Its advocates really need to get off their horses and start taking a systems view if we want to come up with solutions that could actually decarbonize our agriculture in a realistic way.

I think if anyone needs to start using systems thinking, it's you. The systems approach here is not to overuse one particular resource. So taking animals, a resource, out of the system continuously is not systems thinking. It is unsustainable use of a resource. You erroneously claim that the food system needs animal agriculture to exist, but it doesn't. It just needs animals to exist. There is no way to make the continuous breeding and killing of animals emit less GHGs than just not doing that.
Cite examples, so we can look at the deletion log and the AfD and make up our own minds.
I really like this, thanks for sharing.
Sorry, no, you are missing the point. Most popular databases cannot exist w/o filesystems. filesystem isn't just files and directories, it's the guarantees you get on reads / writes / copy / delete / create, the cache behavior, the ownership, snapshots, deduplication, redundancy, compression, checksums, encryption... (obviously, not all filesystems do this, and some databases already can take on some of the functions of filesystem).

Databases don't implement those features themselves, but will have to, if they decide to work with bare block devices.
What's the good reason for this type of pro rata accounting?
I've actually read quite a bit about it. My point is that China was starving under collectivization. You'd probably agree that "civil run enterprises" was a fig leaf, and it was basically just introducing markets. This is inarguable what lifted people out of poverty, not all of that psychotic shit Mao did.
RIP all the modern languages that haven't made any improvements in memory management at all.

There is so much low hanging fruit in programming language design and nobody is picking it up and instead everyone produces marginal improvements over existing languages.
I see your point, that there's a significant information and time asymmetry there in favor of the employer.

That said, though, I also think the take-homes are a much more enjoyable use of my time than running through interview gauntlets with people who don't even work in the same team or in tech at all (recruiters, HR screeners, upper level bosses, whatever). At least code presents a somewhat objective metric I can be measured against, as opposed to random people's opinions about me after talking for ten minutes. Those sorts of interviews feel more like theater than assessments. I'm good at them, but I don't feel like they're a good way to gauge a candidate's effectiveness, including my own.

With the best take-home I did (not this 12-hour one I was just talking about), we met right afterward to discuss the pros and cons of my assignment, what went well, what could use more care, etc. It was more of a discussion, like "Why did you do X this way" and "Did you consider Y when you chose this?", followed by a segue into how the take-home relates to the actual products they were building, and a high-level discussion about how I'd implement similar patterns in a production app. I did end up getting that job and loving it. The process never felt exploitative, and the team ended up being amazing. I'm still thankful for the person who gave me that take-home to prove myself, vs the hours of pointless recruiter chats before the assignment.

But yes, they shouldn't be 6-hour take-homes... that's too much to ask of an unpaid candidate. A reasonable take-home should take 2-3 hours max for a candidate of median skill, IMO. As an aside, my 12-hour one was my own fault for not having worked on that specific problem enough (web animations in SVG or canvas), but I was happy to be figuring out a new challenge after my last job got too easy and boring.

Was excited for a moment, thought it was related to this https://worldmodels.github.io/.

World models are meant to be for simulating environments. If this was something like testing if a game agent with llm can form thoughts as it play through some game it would be very interesting. Maybe someone on HN can do this?
I use it to have hybrid modifier and regular keys: if I hold down caps lock like a modifier key and strike another key then it behaves like control. If I tap caps lock like I would a letter key then it behaves like escape.

Return is another hybrid between itself and control (my keyboard does not have a right control key).

Space is another hybrid with a whole lot of bindings when held down. With s it generates space so that I can have key repeat for space (don’t need that often). With hjkl it generates the cursor keys.

Does this help?

This website is not created by OpenAI and has nothing to do with them monopolizing the term AI...

Are you sure you're not confusing OpenAPI and OpenAI? OpenAPI is a spec for HTTP APIs. Many AI applications are giving language models the capability to interact with OpenAPI documented APIs.
And if the tablets are this confusing when the translation is vetted by experienced experts, adding a choppy translation software to the mix will make it a nightmare

How do arenas prevent out-of-bound access, double free or stale pointers?
This is very interesting. One data point for this are the standards for medical device compliance (e.g. for medical software). You can buy them from different institutions, the content is the same, but the price varies from anywhere between 30€ to 500€. Yep, for a PDF file. It's an unholy mess and literally every person I've encountered in the system, even auditors, think that it's ridiculous.

The PDF-selling companies argue that they need that money to organize committee meetings for developing further versions of standards etc., but that leaves me wondering - we have so many other standards-setting institutions which don't rely on shady PDF sales, so why not take that model instead?
