This is really extreme and reductionist. Without advertising, you wouldn't even know that many products and services exist. You can't rely on word-of-mouth for everything.

Of course, so many advertisers have abused their power that blocking ads is a good choice for many reasons, but don't make the mistake of calling all advertising "evil". Without it, how do you know a new movie is coming soon, or that someone's invented and is selling a new computer peripheral, for instance?

The old-style small, highly-targeted, text-only ads that Google used to show alongside search results really were the pinnacle of advertising I think. They were great for learning about something that would fix whatever problem you were googling about.

I go to movies at an Alamo Drafthouse.

They're known for being pretty willing to kick out unruly guests, and I definitely appreciate it. I actually haven't had any issues at any of their locations in Denver, CO.

There's obvious exceptions, big fan service opening movies like Endgame were quite loud but it was a whole audience experience and it was fun, but typical movies and post-opening-weekend, most people are respectful.
Intel Set to Exit NUC PC Business – Pushes Partners to Develop More SFF PCs

Overly positive, all car photos right from the marketing department, no disclaimer that the thing might be sponsored in any way.
Reading these discussions with interest as I am in the process of making and training my own personal model using my 31+ archive of photography, pictures taken and owned by be, which goes against this idea that models are not trained on data owned by the companies doing the training. While this is all for my own personal interest and use, how would the idea that the weights cannot be copyrighted affect my rights on the model if I were to release the whole thing for use?
Slightly unrelated but emulators have been a big part of my childhood because I grew up in a country where a PlayStation was unaffordable for the middle class and Nintendo simply didn't sell their consoles there.

Luckily emulation has always been legal thanks to a case 2 decades ago [1]. I see it as one of the "big wins" of the (US) judiciary because it has made the lives of many children joyous, across the globe.

Plenty of old games on now obsolete platforms can still be enjoyed thanks to emulation. I hope the precedent never goes away.

I had a new laptop somewhere around 2006. Vista was lagging and throwing errors constantly. I switched to beta of windows 7 and it was waay snappier and stable. On the same hardware.
And ideas like these (there are tons amongst longer emacs users) is part of the reason of why I left emacs after 8 years of running my own config. I just can't stand the reasoning "No no don't change things I like how they are, cowebs and all". There are lots of places emacs should improve to became a better modern editor, not necessarily to attract more people but to make the life of those who use it better.
It is probably a gotcha. But yeah if you hit this problem you have bigger worries, the code immediately before the constructor is not thread safe.
And how exactly do you propose library authors should work with user-defined types? Operator overloading is what allows algorithms to be efficiently generalized across types.
> But seriously, how is a text widget supposed to know where a sentence
ends and where it doesn't?

By scanning for terminating punctuation followed by either two spaces or a newline. What's that? You don't use double-spaces between each sentence? Sucks to be you! The Man™ can pry my double-spaces from my cold dead fingers.

And I say terminating punctuation in general (not just periods) because there's a growing number of cases of other such punctuation occurring within certain proper nouns - for example, "Panic! at the Disco".
A Mini is very large (1.4 L) in comparison with a NUC (0.5 L) and indeed a Mac Mini would be inconvenient to carry.

On the other hand, a NUC together with a 17" portable monitor and a compact keyboard weighs less than a 17" gaming computer or mobile workstation and it is easier carried in a backpack, while offering similar performance and more peripheral ports, eliminating the need to also carry dongles.

When you know that a monitor and a keyboard are available at the destination, e.g. when commuting between home and office, than carrying only the NUC is far more convenient than carrying even the thinnest and lightest laptop.

So you can always take a NUC with you wherever you need. I have done this in many business trips, as a much better alternative to carrying a big and heavy mobile workstation laptop.

In this demo, we will showcase how a fusion of artificial intelligence and augmented reality technology can enable you to provide better customer experience.
Generally I use printf/fprintf and snprintf. I would be looking for a replacement for snprintf for the most part, i.e. I want to provide the buffer.

Apparently we can

template< class... Args >
std::print(std::ostream, std::format_string<Args...> fmt, Args&&... args );

(sigh of despair) since C++23, so that could be an option if there is an easy way to make a std::ostream of a memory slice. But I'm not on C++23 yet.

Compare to

int snprintf ( char * s, size_t n, const char * format, ... );

(sigh of relief) and I think it takes a special kind of person to think that std::print is strictly better.
It's hard to conclude this. I had the same but applied to shitty companies (startups) who did not have much money and had over the top requirements.

No it wouldn't. An actually red object would have the exact same red-cone spatial pattern no matter how far away it is, because the pattern is coming from inside the retina not from the object itself. An actually weirdly striped black and white object with the exact same pattern as the retina would behave like you said.

"Rust wouldn't help"

"This bug can't be implemented in rust"

"I meant that Rust doesn't fix the bug in Java. Even if you write rust code, you can also write buggy java code too so rust didn't fix the java code"

You're the only one here who thought "rust" meant "java semantics implemented in rust" in this context.
Of course I can. I don't like US intervention. But I don't have to pretend there's not an obvious reason why they intervene and why europe "let's them".
> Attempting to use types in a way that exceeds their documented thread safety has always been allowed to leave your program in an inconsistent state.

Wasn't there an attempt for Java to define the range of outcomes even of programs with data races?
> I really can't help but think modern medicine is really missing the mark with the reactionary approach to disease in general, but of course I have no clue what to do about it.

There are two hard problems here:

1) Medicine doesn't always have anything good to actually do

As you point out, there was nothing other than cut it out and do radiation for your case. Those are very physical processes. Chemical processes that either do something directly to problematic cells or cause the body to do something to problematic cells are very lacking. We don't have very many knobs that do something to diseased cells that don't also do horrible things to the patient.

2) The source of being "reactionary" is that statistically rare diseases show up as false positives way more often than real positives without some Bayesian prior.

Medical testing is a balance between causing too much harm in testing and not enough detection.

Lobular breast cancer only shows up on MRI. So, women should get an MRI with their mammogram, right? Well, except that the MRI requires a gadolinium contrast which bioaccumulates. And you needed an IV for the contrast which can get infected. And, you will find a lump of something with a modern MRI. Now what? You really should leave it alone and watch it, but some women will be unable to deal with the anxiety so you will need to biopsy it. Biopsies have their own problems. etc.

Testing for infrequent events is hard.
Crypto is about trusting the validity of code over the integrity of people. There is a bit more to it than that, in trusting that micro-economic incentives and the design of the protocol will guard the protocol against capture, but that's the gist of it.

Ultimately, open source code has a higher safety potential than the integrity of individuals, so I believe static services will trend toward becoming Ethereum protocols.

From the article it seems like Meta is adding ActivityPub support into threads as a way to let people use Threads to talk to Mastodon users and not the other way around. That’s a pretty good reason to defederate from Threads if you run a Mastodon server

It seems like we will end up with two fediverses- most of the one as we know it, and a much smaller one that can talk to Threads.
Sounds like the problems you describe would be fixed by Guix or Nix. You should give one of those a try, or even use them on your existing distro!

Maybe your Vista installation was messed up or crusty. Did you compare fresh Vista vs fresh 7 for this?

A lot of laptops of the day that came preinstalled with Vista also came preinstalled with a lot of junk that slowed it down like Norton, AT&T, other such bloatware that ran at start-up, and people blamed it all on Vista being slow. Then later they wiped it and installed fresh Win 7 without bloatware, and hey waddaya know, it's faster.

oh, twitter works again
I am not convinced „doing hard things“ should be a top priority for kids. For my own kids -or actually everyone- i hope they find a passion big enough to make a living. This takes time and lots of experimenting and cannot be forced into existance.
Grinding through „hard things“ can leave you with a great deal of confusion. It is so much easier to do „hard things“ if you love doing them.
The problem with math is: it is very hard to learn later on in life. Maybe even as hard as drawing. Schools should really focus on reading, drawing, writing and math- everything else should come secondary.

I'd be interested to know how your model performs if it is trained only on your own work.

Assuming you haven't taken a photo a second for your entire life, then I suspect you'll struggle to make something even close to what's available publically, due to lack of training data.
Based on folks using ReVanced to patch the shut down apps, it's an oauth client id that was specific to an app. Communication was with reddit's API directly.
For what it's worth, Java does at least give some guarantees in case of data races -- the observed value will always be one that was explicitly set by one thread. This is different from most other languages, e.g. in C,C++, unsafe Rust it is UB.

Of course it can and still will result in invalid states.
Per numbered titles:

1 Newtonian gravity

2 Quantum mechanics of charged particles

3 Classical electrodynamics of point particles

They explicitly mention they use point particles. Problem in 1 Newtonian gravity is especially egregious example. They model planets(!) as material points and see how they come infinitely close to each other. The author does mention these problems are pure math unrelated to reality.
The problem ultimately boils down to the 710% increase in tuition.

If college education had retained the same tuition costs as it did 30 odd years ago (increasing at the rate of inflation only), that puppetry major would have cost something like $20k over 4 years, probably been paid off by the student doing part time work at the library, etc. and the student would have graduated debt free with some party time work experience and taken a few years to see if they could parlay their experience into the next Muppets. If rent hadn’t blown up the way it has either, they would have supported themselves by doing a bartender’s job or server’s job, and as the thing wasn’t working out could have started doing some courses on the side, and a few years later either leveraged all their work experience or these side courses into a real job, or taken up a master’s and made a career switch while having given something really interesting and different a go, for which the entire world would be better off.

However, massive increase in tuition costs and rent with no corresponding increase in the safety net means risk taking has to pretty much been eliminated at the individual level which will cost society overall.
> In many ways, this kind of design thinking could be useful in designing real-world spaces as well.

They already are used. The difference in urban design, which is what I assume you mean by real-world spaces, is that in theme parks and video games, the designers effectively have complete control over the entire system from top tp bottom and bittom to top. In urban design, that is not the case and one needs to deal with decades and centuries old organic, ad-hoc design and evolution of the urban system.
Why three? Only two kinds of space are necessary for the vast majority of English-language text: one to delimit words, and one to delimit sentences.
Sure, but the truth is they had no choice but to shut down after their life was made ever increasingly harder running a torrent website in a country where authorities were passing stricter anti-piracy laws and started going harder after pirates, after the US and the big movie and games studios started putting pressure on Bulgaria. Same thing happened in Romania a couple of years earlier where the original domain of the Filelist torrent tracker was seized. Are you ok with loosing sleep over the risk of going to prison or going bankrupt fighting trillion dollar movie studios in court for your famous torrent tracker side-project?

Check US Special 301 report, Romania and Bulgaria were on the US naughty list, and had travel warnings issued for them, despite being safer countries than the US and also important NATO members in the region, with the reason given in that report that US entertainment piracy is rampant in the region lol.

The big US movie studios cand leverage the US gov influence to put pressure on other countries to crack down on piracy. That's how strong they are. I remember the good ol' days in Romania when piracy was absolutely rampant that you would see ads in the city about ordering CDs and DVDs with quality pirated content through the mail, then we joined NATO, then suddenly anti-piracy laws became way stricter. You gotta play by Uncle Sams's rules if you join his playpen.

> No idea why Thaxll and the other comments are mentioning mutexes.

Thaxll mentioned mutexes in a reply to the statement

Java has no way to express the concept of "something that nothing else can modify while I'm looking at it"

Even ignoring the performance aspect that is not the perfect answer, though. AFAIK, the JVM doesn’t have a notion of “you can only modify foo if you hold mutex bar”. That remains something the programmer must enforce.

On the other hand, tooling exists to help them, for example https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.google.code.findbugs/annotati...
"Planck constant" isn't the same as "Planck length". Please don't say the former when you mean the latter.

In addition: no, the planck length is not at all likely to be a consequence of discretization for the purpose of simulation. It is a length scale implied by various other constants. Like, if you considered the "laws of physics except gravity is stronger", you would end up with a different value for the Planck length. And, why would increasing the strength of gravity in your simulation, imply necessarily changing your discritization scale? It doesn't make sense.

Quantum mechanics does not fit with the idea of "well, it was hard to simulate the full thing, so we made some simplifications" with those simplifications being the reason for the parts of quantum mechanics that seem "weird". I know it is a popular idea, but it doesn't make sense.

Making things quantum-mechanical makes them harder to simulate, not easier.

Ask HN: Co founders getting part time engineering job?
Hi HN,
We are trying to self fund our startup. Do you think it's realistic for two deeply technical founders to get a part time job alongside (the hiring company would need to be cool with this).

Any idea how to make this happen?

I have no idea where to even look for something like this so any advice is appreciated

There are certainly deals to be found.
A list of things that I have found Prime deals on in years past:

1. Security cameras
2. Hard drives
3. Tools
4. Gift cards
5. Scanners

On average I have gotten 10-20% off for these items.
Of those, the security cameras were discounted the most.

The same deals also generally happen on Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend.

This year I’m just picking up typical household items. Some seem to be discounted a dollar or two.

> Police departments in the US derived from English law, which had a system of unpaid enforcement via gentry. Prior to that, reeves were individuals charged with keeping the peace. Prior to that it was expected everyone contributed via frankpledge.
> This takes us back to around the year 1000.

> There's not much evidence of law enforcement prior to that in the direct historical lineage of US policing.

There is. Police departments in England are derived from police departments in France.

> If you've got good resources on Sumerian or Mesopotamian enforcement, I'd be interested, but it's pretty far off topic of the US law enforcement lineage.

It is not. People in the US like to find idiosyncratic reasons for why things are so in the US and why their country is oh so unique, but the truth often is that things are like that everywhere —even in places where such idiosyncratic reasons couldn't exist.

Ask HN: What have you observed about hiring?
Hello HN readers,

If there's one thing that's planetwide ubiquitous, it's work. And just very slightly less universal employment. What have you observed about the very broadly defined employment, that you have never seen explained or otherwise written about; or ones that seem to defy what is claimed to be widely known about it; given what you have seen so far to be true to the best of your knowledge?

Given that different regions of the world will unavoidably have distinct expectations and experiences pertaining to this, I feel the need to remind anyone who might contribute, that not concentrating on geopolitics will improve signal to noise ratio.
For now, you can still buy a $500 NUC13ANKi5 (slim, only M.2 SSDs) or NUC13ANHi5 (tall, also a 2.5" SSD/HDD) without worries.

What Intel said is that they will not launch any new models, so the future NUC with a Meteor Lake CPU must have been canceled, or perhaps sold to a partner like ASRock.

The best alternatives are from ASUS, Beelink and Minisforum.

Alternatives with lower performance, but perhaps also lower prices, are from Gigabyte, Zotac, ASRock and ASRock Industrial, and from a lot of smaller Chinese companies, which are the cheapest, but which also have more variable quality.

If your target had been an i7 Raptor Lake, then at the same price you could have bought a SFF with a much faster AMD Phoenix CPU (Ryzen 7 7840U, Ryzen 7 7840HS or Ryzen 9 7940HS).

Because you want a medium performance medium price computer, you can find at a lower price than a Raptor Lake i5, i.e. under $500, SFF computers with the Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU (Zen 3+), which are faster and which also have a much faster GPU.
