I feel like the frontend gets an unfair treatment by many here on HN. I doubt people complain that the standard library of python is too vast, and you cannot master it. I feel like there is a lack of respect for professionalism on the front end stack and a lack of understanding that we front end developers actually spend a lot of time mastering this craft so we can use it skillfully at our jobs.

The only way I can make sense of this sentiment is that people feel like CSS is something to hack with, it is a toy, for hackers to play with, not a tool for professionals who spend years mastering the skill. I wonder why this is.
A bit of a non sequitur, but every time kagi comes up I get a twinge: "kagi.com" had a long, robust life in the earlier days of the internet as an e-commerce facilitator. They handled the credit card transactions for hundreds or thousands of small businesses in the '90s and '00s, including mine, and I somewhat knew the founder, Kee Nethery.

The internet changed over time, of course, and Kagi changed with it. Then something bad happened (I don't remember what, and archive.org is being unhelpful finding the announcement) and Kagi shut down. Then I guess Kee sold the domain, and here we are.

And every time the new kagi.com comes up, I think of Kee.
The yardstick is indeed the light-travel time.

Gravitational waves really do change the time it takes for light to travel between two points. We use light travel-times to measure distances, thus we say that the distance between the points has changed.

If it feels counterintuitive for spacetime to be changing, that's good. It is outside our human experience and perception. The strongest gravitational waves ever observed by scientists passed through everyone who was alive in 2015. None of those people noticed before the instruments registered a detection.
Aren't most libraries you want in C# though? Isn't there a bit of impedance mismatch between how functional F# is and how OOP C# is? I have heard from a few F# fans how frustrated they are that they have to keep interacting with C#
AirBNB and the like can still have an edge when you want things like a kitchen or a guaranteed fridge.

What’s the fee difference like for hosts on Airbnb vs vrbo?
For me, the goal wouldn't be to rank the oppressed against each other, but to provide resources for all those who need it.

I think of it less like a tournament and more like food stamps: below a certain income, food becomes difficult to afford, and aid is helpful (I was on food stamps for a short bit and really appreciated it). It doesn't really matter WHY their income is low, just that society can help them with food.

College aid is similar, except that admission seats aren't as easily fungible as tuition dollars. Same for job spots, I suppose.

Let's say you have 100 openings of something. A candidate would be scored across the board, mixing demographics with performance. 10 points for an essay. -3 for bad GPA. +5 for a bad zip code. +3 for being a woman. -6 for wealthy parents. Whatever. In that way all those factors could be considered.

But yes, the exact numbers would be difficult to arrive at. Maybe we could try to statistically model those based on their impact to lifetime earnings, updated every census or whatever. It wouldn't be easy. At all.

Is it legal? I don't know. But the law can change. More to your point, I'm not even sure if this is a GOOD or ethical idea. Just a thought for discussion.
An important note: this is not about "native GUI", this is about creating a GUI inside a browser.
Many of those people are imported from foreign universities. If the claim had been "American universities are better able to drain talent and fund research", I'd agree. In terms of educational quality, it's questionable.
Mind blowing. How can some one be so talented, I even fail to comprehend his work.
> I have a hard enough time using and trusting snippet engines or doing due diligence in implementing a solution I find on stack overflow.

Is it possible you are not breaking the problem the right way? I.e get better at understanding what it can do for you and conveying to it in a better way what you want.

To me it seems like a huge handicap not using these. At the same time if you use it too much your skills may degrade overtime (maybe the skills that degrade are not worth holding onto in this new world anyway... we'll see).

It reliably acts like a junior dev who can sort of complete the statement or add the next N branches after you add a few lines. But you have to be good at spotting bugs or inefficient implementations quickly and probe it till it corrects it.
It's basically the safest position you could be in.

An LLM to digest results of a classic search index is greater than the sum of its parts. An LLMs that is not permitted to brush up on the relevant literature before answering a question generally doesn't produce very good answers, is prone to hallucinations etc. A pure LLM design isn't even a serious contender in the answer engine space.
It’s the personalisation element combined with slightly better results that makes it so much better. Plus, I don’t have to block any ads or tracking. Google without an adblocker has become harder and harder to navigate.

On the other end, I’m seeing Google results get really really bad. Mostly just missing results. When I search the same term on bing there are pages and pages of results. I’ve no idea what’s going on at Google. I don’t use it logged in and don’t know if that affects the results.
EVs are not double the weight of comparable ICE vehicles. Yes, they are heavier -- but not 100% heavier.
This is good. The criteria should be based on income, not the race.

From the timestamps on the tweets in the article, the incident happened around 8am and the runway was put back into service around 5pm after being inspected.

So at least in this case, it doesn't seem to have had a serious impact on the runway
I think they can solve for more RAM pretty easily with the M3. Apple silicon is pretty dedicated to having the GPU cores integrated with shared memory though so I don’t see them offering graphics card options.

An M3 extreme which is 2 or even 4 M3 ultras sounds like it might be doable. M3 is already going to be a huge performence step because it’s a new process though.
I hate Airbnb.

I don't think I ever had an excellent rental experience. There is always something broken. Something not as advertised. Pictures are often deceiving. It is often difficult to deal with the host, as some are trying to make it their primary income and managing several properties. The chore lists are pathetic.

I would rather pay more and get a consistent experience from a hotel/resort.
I'm ignoring analogies containing terrorists in it lol. It's true that colleges are historically and currently biased. But that does not mean that you just drop the idea of meritocracy and just say fuck it have a lottery. Instead you move towards the ideal and crack down on college biases, e.g, you can assign students to colleges based on prospective student's college preferences and SAT scores; that's how it works in plenty of countries.
John Wood Jr. would be a good person to listen to for getting a very interesting answer to this very complex questions.
> Double-digit increases of Asian students at top tier universities, primarily coming from decreases of nonwhite students.

I will gladly bet the under on double digits for Ivies, MIT, and Stanford.

5% max, possibly as little as 2% — that is, 26% might increase to 31%, but more likely 28%-29%.

Whatever the number is, the increase for whites will probably be greater in both percentage and absolute number.

That said, I agree that the demographics that will lose these spots are non-white, non-Asian groups.
They weren't...
I believe this is used internally by json.loads, which is not very surprising in hindsight.
> The best theory I've come across is that patient zero was a person collecting bats in caves for the lab in Wuhan.

There are literally millions of people in China who live in close proximity to bats. You don't have to invoke the 1-in-a-million lab worker here (who will be much more careful than the other 999,999 people, anyways). There are literally people who go shovel bat poop out of caves for a living. Then there are all the millions of farmed animals that have contact with bats - this is how the original SARS got into people.

A lab worker getting infected in a cave and then going back to Wuhan is not the best theory. It's an extremely improbable explanation for the pandemic, when you realize just how much contact people and farmed animals have with bats.
Well I can talk about myself :)

I don't want TikTok. Mostly because I don't want to use yet another app or account. Then there's the thing about it being from China, but to be honest, as a European it doesn't reeeally matter to me if an app is from the US or China. I did actually try TikTok during the pandemic but became too addicted due to constant WFH and boredom.

I have Instagram because I like to upload my favorite pictures. Then they started with Reels, I checked it out, liked it, so I now use it.

When I feel like Reels bore me, or that the algo seems to currently push things I don't care about[0], I switch over to YT Shorts.

There, the youtubers I'm already subscribed to upload shorter videos and I generally see different kinds of videos.

Instagram mostly shows me memes and cat videos. YT shorts is more about stand-up comedy bits, science stuff etc.

So my usage of these apps depends on how I currently feel like.

[0] Both Insta and YT sometimes start to flood me with content about annoying Entrepreneur/Online Marketing bs, Andrew Tate or far(ish)-right-wing trash or half-naked women. No amount of "not interested" seems to help, so I either switch app or do something else.
The only way affirmative action makes 'logical' sense to me is if people believe in biological differences of intelligence between races. Not saying I believe this, but it's the only way I could think of to logically allow for AA.

Because now you have "Race A" paying the same tax rates for public university as "Race B", yet their children could be biologically limited (on average) in comparison.
for those looking for b corp jobs, i'm not sure if this is actually maintained

An interesting thing to note is that Garmin, Coros, and Suunto are pretty much the only brands used by long distance runners, and all three companies have really optimized them for long battery life. I really love my Garmin Fenix 6, and the battery on it lasts around 10 days-2 weeks depending on how much running I record with it. It's funny how most people don't know about Coros or Suunto outside of the running community though.
Interesting. I travel mainly in the US and of the approximately 10 visits I can’t remember an instance where I didn’t pay a cleaning fee while also dealing with a chore list.

It’s pretty sharp in my mind because it always frustrates me so much.
I don’t know, tourists aren’t a loss for the local economy, they’re pretty much always a huge win. You may not want them but I don’t know that it’s appropriate to think of it as extracting value from the commons.
The one who is the best surgeon which could be any of them judging from my experience from other jobs. All the best programmers I know did well in school and on tests, but beyond a certain point test scores mean very little and other factors not measured by tests matter more.

I would not want a doctor who did poorly on tests, but a doctor who is great at tests vs one who is top in the country probably does not matter.
A Stage Review of Instruction Tuning
Adcoms (admission committees) have learned their hard lessons. Williams R. Fitzsimmons and Rakesh Khurana of Harvard might have told everyone to not put everything in writing, just as CEOs tell underlings to not put in writing in order to not be found in the discovery process. And these professors and deans we ordinary mortals should emulate for ethical exemplars. Maybe, they should follow what they preach to students.
Thats interesting. All the recent scientific evidence I have been seeing has been saying that Aspartame really isn't bad. This seems suspect. It's so hard to trust science today since it has become so intertwined with politics and corporate agendas.
N=1; an MBA friend of mine worked for Sears on their website offering. He nearly ripped out his own hair, since instead of being a web commerce department they were "online catalog", and the culture matched.

Instead of adapting to the medium, they tried to force the medium to their offering, suffered when web-first companies showed up, and then decided the internet was a fad.
> They are striking this down for purely political reasons.

On its face affirmative action is pretty blatantly a violation of the 14th amendment:

Which to a trivial reading would come out as 'All persons [black, white, rainbow] shall have equal rights to attend [state funded school], and as such a right to a fair and impartial admissions process'.

Affirmative action adds the clause: "except those whose skin color we do not like today, those shall have to score higher on tests. Those whose skin color we do like today, those shall not have to score as high. Those whose skin color we do not care about can score the same as before."
Maybe they could pull a Mullvad and accept cash via mail.
And "over 43%" of white admits are legacy ("ADLC"). I had no idea the proportion was so high!
I'd put my money on something lighter that has enough elasticity to take the punches without shattering
The ability to fund research and attract the best researchers (not necessarily educators) is useful at education's high-end, which is why many come to the USA in the first place. It isn't so great for standard or remedial education, however.

> I have to admit though, ChatGPT did make me consider dropping the subscription. Mr Chat has weakened the value of Kagi to me.

I felt the same, but I do still need web search, and I do still want it to be as good as possible, so it's still worth it to me.

And actually, as I type this I'm less sure about how much ChatGPT has reduced the value of web search for me. I start with ChatGPT for almost everything that's not "news". But I still frequently do web searches branching out from what I learned via ChatGPT. It's fewer total searches than I've done before, but each one might be more valuable. And since I'm flowing from one tool to another, not having to wade through ads and bad ui and SEO spam also becomes even more valuable.
Doesn’t the solar roof use glass that’s impervious to hail?
I expect part of this was just retaining their right to do so as they are losing a degree of flexibility in admissions here.
> What they choose as "Black" names are those associated with lower class blacks but they do not do the same with "White" names. In this case, they use names like Latonya for blacks and Heather for whites.

Is Latonya associated with lower class the way Cletus is? I honestly don't know, and I'd be surprised if most of the people hiring did. What are some "black" names not associated with lower class? My sneaking suspicion (without evidence) is that "black" names in general are more likely to be associated with lower class and to escape those connotations one would have to avoid the more ethnic names, but I'm open to being educated on this point.
What is some domain that you have special knowledge or experience with that you could make an app about? Do you know some individual or organization that could use an app?
Hmm, I can definitely say I've seen a version of that at Indian IITs. all great students but most feel like imposters there. also the subtle thing is that the risk/reward calculus gets f-ed up, meaning, for all the students who have been at the top of their games wherever they came from now the rewards for significant incremental efforts were minuscule. So I have seen many disengage & get into 'enjoy life' mode.
I doubt the poor likes having their bread stolen.
> There are those who imagine that you can completely plan work before lifting a finger

My response to these types is always to point out that we already have tools that translate a complete plan of a project into software: They're called compilers, and that plan is source code.

I think there's an argument that even crazy unsafe stuff that only harms yourself shouldn't be exempt from regulatory frameworks purely on the "personal harm only" basis.

Stuff like this triggers costly (and sometimes dangerous) search & rescue parties.

A regular boat has to be registered in most US states.
I'm not a boating expert, but it would seem some combination of "well its not a boat" & "International waters" lead to it being less regulated/inspected than Joe 6 packs fishing boat.

Or more specifically, because the sub is taken out to international waters by its support ship, it would seem the sub falls under less regulation than the support ship carrying it, despite being a higher risk profile..
China practices affirmative action by giving certain ethnic minorities additional points on the gao kao. There's a good 2017 paper by Ding et. al. that explores the effect this has.
Yes, that's basically right.

The gravitational way has a direction (say, z) in which its propagating. Within the plane perpendicular to that direction (x-y), a circular ring of particles will at at one moment experience squeezing in one direction (x) and stretching the perpendicular direction (y). As the wave passes through and you move from the peak of the wave to the trough, the directions reverse, so the first direction (x) stretches and the other direction (y) squeezes. By "stretching" and "squeezing" I mean instantaneous additional (positive and negative) acceleration on top of the (much, much larger) acceleration from the background gravitational field provided by the Earth.

Here's a visualization:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313828462/figure/fi...

Just as a child can swing their legs at the resonant frequency of a swing to pump up their sinusoidal amplitude, a very weak gravitational wave can pump up a ring oscillator if it's oscillating at the ring's resonant frequency.

Exactly square gravitational waves are of course not possible, just as for electromagnetic waves. (They would have infinite energy at the corners.) But in principle you could get a close approximation. However, spacetime is incredibly stiff, and I think all the known real-world sources produce pretty smooth waves. I presume most violent events are mergers of existing black holes, and essentially always result from a smooth in-spiral rather, say, a sharp collision event. This is what the "chirp" signal looks like to the LIGO detector:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWqhUANNFXw

The effects of a square wave would be roughly as you would expect: instead of smoothly pumping up an oscillator, it would give it a sharp kick, just as with electromagnetism.

Niantic Organizational Update
This piece doesn't even mention disarmament, and the stated purpose amounts to: when more people understand the consequences of MAD, it's less likely to happen.

As time goes on, the current generation will become more and more removed from the original conditions that resulted in the nuclear arms race, and more disconnected from the potential realities that nuclear war could introduce.

At a time when Russia continues to talk about the use of nuclear weapons, it seems appropriate to continue reminding folks about what this actually entails. I suspect the average "let them try" commenter on Facebook/Twitter has very little concept of what this actually means.

If there's one category that warrants scary writing, nuclear war would be that category. It's pretty much impossible to explore the topic without touching on some rather terrifying implications.
Here's my experience so far:

ChatGPT saves time writing short functions maybe 10-20 lines. This is maybe 10 minutes a day.

ChatGPT helps start/debug things outside my domain where I would normally need to read some guides before even starting. This doesn't happen every week, but when it does, it's hours saved.

Copilot saves a bit of time with simple 1-3 line suggestions where you would already know how to write it, or can immediately verify correctness. This is probably 10 minutes per day saved as well.

So, on average, I get maybe 30 minutes or so per day saved with close to zero downside. It's not going to make or break a career but it's a good chunk of time.

Rich ADOS should still benefit, though. We should be looking at lineage instead of skin color, because thinking all black people are the same is a handicap of both

the left: who think that all "people of color" should be compensated for slavery, and

the right: who love to say that US blacks were sold by "their own people." That's like claiming innocence for molesting a child because their parents sold it to you.

I have a lenovo laptop that gets 4-5 hours battery life on Windows and about 70 minutes on Fedora Linux.

I suspect part of it is due to some incompatibility with the nouveau graphics driver, but it's not been a big enough problem that I had to solve it yet.
Yes I agree with you on every point (though didn’t want to use the “heavy gunner” Collatz as an example :D). I’m not against dependent types, and I eagerly await what future might they bring. But at the same time I think the best solution will be to “fight on multiple fronts”, and improve our type and test systems. There are very interesting ways to systematically test every kind of input (greatly reducing the input space) that has a distinct code path (and it can find a minimal reproducible error case!).
Availability/Scale. Paxos can expand as long as the number of participants nodes are odd (3, 5, ...), in a master-master fashion.
The timing of a single pulsar would not be reliable enough to detect gravitational waves. Instead, each collaboration monitors an array of dozens. As a result, they have found a signature called the Hellings–Downs curve, which predicts how, in the presence of gravitational waves coming from all possible directions, the correlation between pairs of pulsars varies as a function of their separation in the sky.

Not sure it answers your question but my impression is they simulate results of all possible effects and then see which one(s) the data correlates with. So if there are multiple causes that could produce identical effects then I doubt they could distinguish between them.
Just because you are wealthy doesn't change anything. How are you supposed to know that the fact the pressure vessel isn't certified is a massive red flag, and not just a way to innovate more quickly? Rush painted industry safety as holding everything back and did not properly communicate that you should probably have an independent engineer review the risks. I mean, he was willing to go to the wreck with you, isn't that a hard endorsement of the risk being mitigated?

Again, watch some videos, he downplays the risk all the time. It's a form of manipulation, like buying a junk car from a used car salesman. Yes you could have a mechanic look at it, but it's such a great deal, if you walk away someone else will snap it up. All along the salesman is neglecting to mention the wheels are glued on because the bolts sheared, and the brake lines are held together with duct tape.
