> Best practices and anti-patterns usually work best in the context of how-to guides or references

I think it’s safe to say that all four-plus kinds of documents work best as a coherent whole, each revealing an aspect of the system in relation to the others
Do they even have the legal justification of saying how you can or cannot use the weights? It could be ruled that weights are uncopyrightable. I think we as a community should advocate for that.

If you train on data you don't own, the results (weights, unmodified outputs) should be public domain. When people create novel works on top (SaaS tools, music, films), then those human combinations should hold copyright. Not the model weights.

If you can prove you own all of the inputs into training, then perhaps it's another story. But that could also be dangerous and allow for data cartels to own the future.
Implicit end tags aren’t sloppy at all. Documents using them are completely unambiguous and completely well‐formed, as has been the case since the inception of the language.

In fact, the fact that implicit end tags and implicit elements are unambiguous is why they exist as a feature at all. <td> cannot contain <tr>—the idea doesn’t make sense—so <td> followed by <tr> implicitly closes the <td>. <li> can’t contain <li>, so it implicitly closes. <p> can’t contain <p>, and so on. XML doesn’t help at all here: even if you use a strict XML parser, you can make a construct like “<p><p></p></p>”, and it’ll be ostensibly “well‐formed,” but it won’t be valid HTML.

The XML way of “make everything verbose, even when it’s already unambiguous” was a late addition to the language. And it leads to surprise like what’s visible throughout this thread, such as people expecting <div /> to act like <div></div> when it really acts like <div>.
"discrimination" oh come on. Information is behind paywalls and geobased. Some articles are written in languages I don't understand. Is it also discrimination if there isn't a human translation to my native language?
> concealing data and facing minimal consequences.

Yes, the delay in punishment is a huge problem. 3M is facing fines easily pushing them into bankruptcy... so even when the punishment is severe enough, it's too late, huge damage has already been done.

The problem is that even this is not a disincentive, whether or not they know it, executives use these artificial constructs "companies" as vehicles to extract money, the smart ones play hot potato to prevent personal liability once they see what's ahead, instead of blow the whistle - it's immoral, I don't know how to fix it. Perhaps the only way is education, even MBAs need to be made to appreciate the value of environment and the potential ecological and biological consequences of their negligence - I think most of them probably down play it even in their own mind, as a kind of "gotta break some eggs to make an omlet" mentality, that there is always an environmental cost, but lacking the historical knowledge and imagination of how such costs can vary qualitatively and quantitatively with orders of magnitude in separation.
Which alternative note taking apps offer a web clipper? I just found

- Evernote

- Notion

Are there any other?
I use iCloud "Hide My Email" for nearly everything. It's handled seamlessly inline in macOS/iOS, synced between devices, and I never have to think about it.
I've been using Threads since late yesterday and it's been very slow... sometimes it wouldn't even load content when you browse specific profiles (especially the active ones with tens of thousands of followers). So I am not surprised the backend is in Python :)
That's kind of where I'm at.

I find that a lot of folks start with very strong disagreement; and eventually it turns out (my interpretation, possibly horribly wrong!) subconsciously they resent feeling blamed or judged or moralized for just living. And fair enough. But for me, the key part is a very selfish perspective - something is happening that's bad for us, we are making it to some degree or another worse, and there's a clear optimal place on a curve of economic activity vs life stye vs future of species, and I don't think we are on the selfish optimal spot, let alone some "global earth/gaia-perspective multi-species well-being of all life" optimal spot.
If people commonly sent a "yes" to acknowledge receipt of a message, then of course I would.

The problem here is that a thumbs up emoji doesn't mean yes. It can also mean "got it." When people send me huge documents I often send a thumbs up long before opening and reading the document.
> Trumps actions weren't impermissible censorship, they were impermissible for other reasons.

They were impermissible as viewpoint-based censorship of a designated public forum in violation of the First Amendment, you are wrong that it was “for other reasons”.

Dreamcast was just too ahead of for its time is what I tell myself
However, the userspace assumptions leak. e.g. POSIX's file API don't sit quite well with Windows, and Microsoft had to eventually abandon WSL1.

My point was that we really don't need yet another Unix clone. If we're going for a new OS, we should fix the core APIs as well. Emulation ain't bad per se, but it better be done 'outside' without compromising the original design.
I remember the first time someone said a “joke” to me that was similar to Isaac Asimov’s.

Thanks for the info! In my case there's not really one primary key that would guarantee good clustering for my query, so I guess there's not much that can be done to optimize here.

I'm trying to find all the ancestors of a node in a DAG, so the optimal clustering would vary depending on the node I'm querying for

Real life is not a white board design interview.
I love the design of Notes, and I used it a lot for the past few years to store work and personal notes, but I found the sync to be very unreliable. Notes on my iPhone keeps getting out of sync with Notes on my laptop. It happens every few weeks, and I have to log out and login again to fix it. Maddening.

I switched recently to Obsidian and am really enjoying the speed, simplicity, extensibility, and being back in control of my files.
Same in Switzerland, although of course nobody will recommend relying on verbal contacts exactly because of all too possible "you said/he said" litigation. But yeah it happens, for both smaller and bigger contracts.

> In California, it's been 15 years and we have 0 miles complete.

California had only 10 permanent employees on its HSR project, everyone else was a contractor. Furthermore, "Interest groups wield CEQA and NEPA like weapons. One study found that 85 percent of CEQA lawsuits were filed by groups with no history of environmental advocacy. The NIMBY attitude of these groups has crippled the ability of California to build anything." [0]

Other governments do not have to take the same approach. The choice is not limited to "be California or be a dictatorship", there are thousands of examples of states taking both a long and short time to do things, regardless of how autocratic they are. Another example from that article, "The Netherlands has strong unions, but the Port of Rotterdam has been automated to an extent that has proven impossible in the U.S. due to union resistance." - if you'd like to know more about how that went, see what the Port of Rotterdam has been doing [1] and what the union ultimately got for their strike action [2] - spoiler alert, they did not stop the increasing pace of automation, as US unions seem to have managed.

> Also built numerous hospitals during pandemic in a couple weeks.

So did the UK government, and then had to close them all as they weren't useful. Haste made waste. "As of 5 May 2020, six of the seven planned hospitals had opened, and by the following month all had been placed on standby. [...] almost all of the increased demand for critical care was met by expanding capacity in existing hospitals. By June, all the temporary hospitals had been placed on standby. Only two had admitted patients" [3]

This is normal these days for reasonably small spans [4]

> You just have to quash special interests sometime. Autocracy gets shit done.

You don't have to go to one extreme or another, you can allow your citizens rights and still build rapidly. Certainly, there are tradeoffs, and it depends on the history and traditions of your own country, as to what your citizens will accept. Sometimes regulations get in the way of progress. Sometimes, lack of regulations kill and maim your citizens and destroy their lives, and their childrens' lives. [5] There's no single good ideological approach that works best.

Or, you know, because this is just a preliminary injunction, not a decision on the merits and evidence?
To be fair, in English, the word "tens" is much more rare than "dozens."

In this context they're largely interchangeable, but "tens" is much more clunky and probably a worse translation.
> This was discovered by pandemic price increases caused by increased costs.

So to be clear, you agree with the article that companies increased prices in response to inflation, and therefore couldn't have been the preliminary cause of it.
I want to understand dose-dependency on the relationship between fluoride and IQ. Why do we have to put fluoride in the drinking water to "protect kids' teeth"? Wouldn't it be better to simply provide toothpaste and toothbrushes for free to school-age children?
Maybe instead of focusing on profits we should focus on profit margins.

If your profit margin is increasing, then inflation means less.

Show HN: FinDrip – a free, data-driven finance email
Hi! Thanny here. I’m pretty excited to share a cool project that me and my friend have been working on. FinDrip is a daily (or more) data-driven finance email that sends you curated market information. You can customize when you get your emails and what is contained in them! Right now we offer stock prices, technical indicators, news, and analyst ratings. We’d like to expand and refine our offerings and figure out what people want to see from it, so any feedback would be absolutely appreciated.

Here’s a short-ish story of how it got started. Myself and my friend began our Master’s degrees in CS and one of the first classes we took was Machine Learning for Trading. We learned a lot about technical indicators and signals and whatnot. This was a couple of years ago, when crypto was less of a spicy topic, so I decided to put together a quick bot that would scan the market for signals and text them to me. I traded crypto currencies for a while purely based on these signals and ended up making a good bit of profit (don’t worry, I didn’t gamble a lot of money).

After geeking out about it for a bit, my fiancé at the time informed me that perhaps other people would like to use it, too. That’s when we started building FinDrip, and it has really evolved from there.

Now, we like to see FinDrip as a way to stay up to date on your personal slice of the stock market, without the hassle of scanning charts on various apps that charge insane subscriptions or require you to sign up with a driver’s license.

We hope you enjoy it! Let us know what we can do better :-)

What does "support Delany" mean? Imo you need to separate the art from the artist, and thus one can enjoy the art without necessarily aligning with the artist' views.

I am fine with writing a little js has long as it's colocated with the (augmented) html and css. I think the svelte approach scales better and seems more easily debuggable because it enforces a structure and is more readable. There is enough stuff in my html tags already.

I think you could make an argument that you're responsible for the "full package" of the politician you vote for. That's why I conceded that it might be fair enough to lump me in with that group.

I also didn't make "accusations", I said that I thought it was bizarre that someone would change their political positions just because someone was mean to them. I stand by that...I think that's a weird thing to do. If Bernie Sanders personally sent me a message saying "Tombert is a real douchebag", I'm not going to suddenly start going to MAGA rallies, because my political opinions aren't about people liking me.

Playstation became the RPG console back then. Square was the king of the genre, and they wanted to create cinematic experiences with pre-rendered graphics. Only the CD format was large enough to support that.

The N64 also suffered from a margin problem. Game cartridges were sometimes $10-$20 wholesale for producers, while CDs were probably about 10-25 cents. And then they had to pay a hefty licensing fee to Nintendo on top of that.

What's odd to me, is that almost no one on the N64 chose to simply recreate 2D graphics from the SNES era with improved quality. A quality JRPG built with SNES-like graphics would have still sold just fine, but I think the belief back then was that everything had to be 3D and cutting edge to sell.
Have you ever had to write an HTML5 parser, or read the spec? It's hysterical. The spec formalizes the parsing of common errors. There are rules for parsing malformed comments. There are rules for handling bad syntax.

The XHTML vision was that people would write it in a XML tree editor, which takes care of the nesting and syntax. Then you can't get the syntax wrong. There are JSON tree editors like that. But everybody wanted to use text editors. Tree editors exist, but have never been popular for some reason. Org mode is probably the most popular form of tree editor.

I'm surprised there isn't a move to write HTML in JSON syntax.

I drop down to 1080p myself when gaming on weak computers, but I generally use 4k for clarity because I stare at code for many hours each day (sometimes more than 16). So I would definitely want the capability to stream 4k if I'm reading text, browsing the web, etc.

That isn't what the article says. It isn't even evaluation of other people's research, let alone novel research in itself. It's a "perspective" article commenting on human behavior.

Meanwhile researchers who have conducted proper meta-analyses of the literature have come to a negative conclusion on this topic:

In conclusion, based on the totality of currently available scientific evidence, the present review does not support the presumption that fluoride should be assessed as a human developmental neurotoxicant at the current exposure levels in Europe.

I donʼt have many strong points, it mostly feels nice to use, be it browsing or participating.

I read a thumbs up in the same way I read "ok" which is affirming agreement.

Me: "Want to goto the movies?"

You: "Ok".

We're going to the movies. I don't interpret this as you are acknowledging receipt of my message and will decide later whether or not you will attend.

I would apply the same rationale to a thumbs up. You are saying, ok. Others may disagree.

Because the world just isn't that simple anymore.

100 years ago, I would totally agree that the govt stopping citizens from spreading false information would be a violation of the first amendment. But we now live in a world where the generation of misinformation is automated. Controlling communication on social media does not necessarily imply stifling the speech of a human.

It's very possible that we currently live with an internet where more than half of accounts represent entirely fabricated personas created specifically to generate malicious propaganda. And they know that if they can get a judge to defend their antics as "Free Speech" they will be free to manipulate the general population however they want.

I agree that we need to be careful about protecting free speech online, but if we act like every character that goes over a wire is protected speech, we are digging our own grave.
Interesting. I never thought of managers as being a "higher rank" than those they are managing. Managers are just doing a particular job that needs to be done, like all of the other jobs in a company.
That was BRUTAL.

For those who don’t know what this refers to, Sega showed off the Saturn at CES (?), announced it was launching that same day, and would cost $399. That’s $800 converted to todays dollars.

Sony had their presentation later that day. The Sony gentleman got on stage, said ‘299’, and walked off. That was it.

Sony got ALL the news. The Saturn immediately seemed overpriced and had to prove it was worth the extra money, which they were unable to do enough to succeed.

Additionally, because Sega bumped their launch up by months WITHOUT telling many partners, they pissed a bunch of them off. Huge important retailers like KB Toys who didn’t get early stock not only refused to carry the console, they pulled all existing Sega stuff off the shelves too. Game developers were caught flat-footed too and didn’t have their games ready.

Sega basically botched the entire launch in the US thing. And it came back to bite them when the Dreamcast came out.
> That is to start with prior evidence. Rather than making your estimate, start with "How long did it ACTUALLY take the last time someone did something like this?" and only then modifying the estimate for circumstances.

This requires to have prior evidence within your team to start with as not all teams have the same velocity.
No? What!? Name a scenario in which the government would put forth an opinion on something.. governments, like corporations, can't have opinions.
Not Canadian, but this seems hardly surprising to me. I once learnt (not the hard way) that contract acceptance can be highly implicit and doesn't even require any utterance, verbal or written, as for example in handing an item to a cashier, raising your hand, handing over a set of car keys, all in the right circumstances (those were all examples used). A thumbs up emoji, in response to the direct question 'Please confirm this contract', seems like a natural extension. And if it's used in a communication channel that was previously used for establishing contracts that were also honored (ie considered binding) by the farmer, I don't see how this case could have gone any differently. It doesn't mean that every thumbs up emoji is binding, just like taking a car on a test ride isn't. So 'Hey, can I have all your stuff?' followed by a thumbs up on Sat 3am of course won't be binding. But in this case, the context seems pretty clear.
I love DO as a user and not an investor, but their main value to me is that they have public-facing IPs. I could easily host all my sites on a single AMD machine under my desk, if only I had a good way of routing from the internet to my desk.
