Thats not my experience. It is extremally common for people to simply go out target shooting -NF is one of the best places to do it. More people probably go shooting there than actual hunting.

If you are poaching, or creeping around in cammo shooting a gun, you will be suspected of poaching. Otherwise people really shoulnd't be concerned about simply shooting. It's hard to imagine a plausible scenario where someone is mistaken for poaching but isn't.

If you are sitting around camp or in a meadow with a target, no ranger will charge you. If you are hiking around with a gun sporadically shooting targets like trees, probably, but nobody actually does that.

There is some confusion around what is considered poaching. You dont have to shoot an animal or even have gun to be charged.
> By your argument the Play Store on Android makes it clear that the reason app developers put up with app stores is because of user patterns

that is correct. If android users were more willing to use alternate stores, Google would have less control.

That said, I do enjoy being able to sideload apps with no hassle. Google may not allow 18+ apps or some emulators but I can find those no problem.

Awesome, thank you for digging that up.
I really don't see how english is a better query language than SQL. Yes, SQL has a bunch of sharp corners you have to learn, but plain english can be very ambiguous. Creating an interface that that is simple at low query complexity is easy. A good interface is the one that still makes sense when queries get complicated.

And to be fair, even SQL is not that good at that.
I’ll narrow my statement down to fair for the defendant.
Author here. I glossed over this in the article, but the solver is actually privileging higher versions as you suggest. In the "set" step, when we arbitrarily set a variable to true, we have a heuristic that picks the highest possible version of the package.
Maybe instead of sending you one email they hand wrote, they send you 20 emails from ChatGPT from different email accounts to increase their odds of winning the bid?
I met a former Anchor brewer who left and moved to at a brewery in Flagstaff AZ two years ago, they seemed pretty unhappy back at Anchor.
I missed it too and every single one of my coworkers missed it too lol
Ask HN: When you're reading an eBook page by page, how do you scroll?
Which key (wheel, touch screen, strain gauge) are you pressing, which finger of which hand? How many words or what percentage of an A4 page appears/disappears in one action like click/tap? Maybe you have some non-trivial input devices involved in your reading process - pedals, encoders, maybe some camera is observing your face and a blink means one scrolling action? For an example of one of the different reading scenarios, let's imagine that you are reading a long detective story - you cannot skim the pages without delving into the meaning of each line, but this is not reading mathematical literature where you cannot skim the lines with your eyes without delving into the full picture of the meaning of each character.
Sounds speculative --although not necessarily in a bad way.

What's the evidence for the proposed change of the coupling constants? If the observational evidence is that this changing of the coupling constants explains certain observations related to very old galaxies and stars, would it be possible to infer other early Universe observations that could be performed to confirm this hypothesis?
Pretty much agreed. However, I think there's a huge jump between yield curve predicting a recession (very well founded) and yield curve predicting rates will never come down again, or specifically, that they won't go to zero again (not well founded IMO).
No, but packaging a software package for every Linux distro that exists is unfeasible. Not that I care though, I don't run commercial software. But, you know, devil's advocate and all that. Still, I completely understand why someone might be frustrated by the way software is usually installed in Linux if they were, say, a game developer.
There is no meritocracy to begin with. What's there to kill is the desperation of people for their next meal.
I (rarely) homebrew, for fun, but when it comes to beers in the fridge I have so many great local options to choose from (here on the south shore of MA, near Cape Cod), it's ridiculous: Second Wind, Stellwagen, Mayflower, Timberyard.... typically canned just a week or two before purchase. A few times a year I'll make a trip to Treehouse (worth it), otherwise the local package stores are well-stocked. I do remember enjoying Anchor Steam and IPAs back in the day (as a big upgrade from shitty mass-produced lagers), but my palate evolved and my preference for the best and freshest brew simply rules out generic bottles from the opposite coast.
Sure, but "content on-demand delivered rapidly" isn't compatible with "transmitting to 1 million consumers", is it? Either you broadcast one show at a time (something you can do right now and no one wants) or you split bandwidth to a bunch of streamers (and compete badly with cable).

And in any case the latter is already in the market! HBO and Comcast, working together, will happily send you the just-released Westeros episode to watch simultaneously with 10M other users for like $15 a month. And it works. ATSC needs to be significantly cheaper than fifteen dollars to even be worth talking about. And let's be honest: it isn't and won't be.
She put the disk in upside down :(
Well it's trading "bad code can populate the program's string intern table with invalid string objects" for "bad code can instantly deadlock the program", which is not much of an upgrade. And wouldn't you need to do this in every function that uses more than 2 or more related mutable objects 1 time each, or uses 1 mutable object more than 1 time? Do you know of any systems that work like this?

This is basically a very poor man's version of software transactional memory. Noticing this is one step on the road to realizing that shared memory concurrency needs cooperative synchronization (and locks are just one way to achieve that), and most important of all, you should strictly limit the number of functions that need to synchronize at all, by strictly limiting the number of shared data objects.

I think the article OP and many in the comments here have taken the wrong lessons from this. I think the real lessons are:

1. In a program containing data races, one cannot assume objects obey their stated invariants.

2. Therefore, security/correctness in a shared memory concurrent system cannot be achieved if there is untrusted/unverified code (i.e., code that may introduce data races).

3. Regardless, it may pay dividends to try harder to learn from 1 and do better at validating input, especially in silently pervasively used shared state (e.g., the string intern table). Unfortunately, I think this will always be best effort.
probably sourcing replacement for bad tickets.

venues may cancel tickets or require photo ID if they suspect they were bought for resale.
This works well for simple use cases, but quickly breaks down when faced with real-life scenarios.

Database schemas might contain hundreds of tables, and they may not always have intuitive names. Also, the relationships between the tables aren't always clear, and there are always company-specific mystery clauses that you might need to apply (such as excluding certain users) when running a query.

Anyone building a chat interface for databases has probably realized this by now.
What makes you believe that one cannot disagree with Musk?
Except in practice this is not true, and hasn't been for more than a year. It's not just a workaround either -- FlashAttention is both faster at runtime and uses less memory.

So essentially trickle down economics? Help the small business owners and hope they help people in poverty?

Since you can be employed and still be living in poverty, a minimum wage hike would be needed to have a tax cut to actually benefit people living in poverty. Instead of making employers support the welfare system, make employers make sure their own employees aren’t poverty stricken?

There is literally nothing wrong with ethics in AI, or any other field of science.

What is wrong is this woke supremacist nonsense, that some imbecile in Silicon Valley can dictate the truth about the world according to the woke bible, that's where the problem lies. Americans have gotten really intolerant of other cultures and ways of life. There's 8 billion people on this planet, ffs. We don't need the heavy handed paternalistic nonsense of OpenAI.

If a study is published in a research journal why should ChatGPT not be allowed to give you a summary of it? Why should it be censored because the woke cultists find it too icky?
Read The Collapse (ME Sarotte)

A lot of diplomatic efforts were made at the time. Ukraine was convinced to hand over their nukes, in exchange for security guarantees (that went well...) And in reality, the amount of US/Russian nuclear weapons was reduced during that period (mostly tactical)

But imagine us 20 years into the future. 6% inflation for two decades has made the US deficit unwieldable. The dollar is no longer the international reserve money. The US has tripled its debt since 2023, and has defaulted.

China is very anxious and demand the US abandon nuclear weapons in return for financial aid and debt-forgiving. What do you think is going to happen?

You're never going to get someone suffering from acute loss-of-empire to give up all of their nukes.
Agreed. The older I get, the less I'm interested in drinking alcohol. When I do choose to have a drink, I'm definitely reaching for a Guinness (4.2% ABV).
Yeah, its so naive that its not even worth commenting.
As a large language model, I can't tell you anything about Threads as my training date only extends through September 2023.
Threads is an experience offered by an existing social platform. Obviously different.

(And yes, you could argue Youtube -> Google+, but no.)
Based on this research we can say that the gene isn't necessarily responsible, if at all even relevant. It does indicate association, and that's where it ends. They made a probability correlation, layered on top of a subjective pool of symptoms. For those that have never been involved in any research, ask yourself, how could you NOT find a correlation when your subject set is in the billions, all sharing millions of genes in common? You'll find a gene correlated with car accidents if you make assumptions about data like this headline suggests. There is very little interesting here. This is just scratching the surface of a much larger study that is highly likely to also turn up nothing of interest.
Not my tempo. If you feel the same, consider my attempt "rescue" the potential of the post by making two points:

1. Writing out a hypothesis in a sentence has a lot of value. It aids clarity, testability, and communicability.

2. Distilling each hypothesis down to one word, despite its risks, also called "chunking", has two major kinds of benefits: (a) information processing (sometimes referred to as neural efficiency or cognitive efficiency) and (b) learning & adaptation
Ask HN: React Native or Flutter for a new app in 2023?
App has typical requirements plus some interactions with OS native APIs.

This is a startup so the returns of using a single development platform to target iOS/Android seems unquestionable.
Ask HN: How does Software Design Review work at your company?
I've seen it done in many ways with varying degrees of success. How does it work at your company today and is it useful and successful ?
So if their net worth only goes up for the rest of their lives, you would consider them to have successfully invested, rather than gambled?

Seems to me your definition is a bit lacking.
Yes, that’s it. Thanks! Interesting how 40 years will scramble things around in memory.
Homebrewer here too. I agree. I like some experimentation but also like some "normal" stuff. I also don't like the really expensive odd stuff in the store. I've also begun to dislike the really plain stuff in the store.

Even if my beer is a little different every batch, I think I prefer it. It's fun to grow your own hops and even grow/malt your own grain.
> Technically, they need an instagram account to follow the dutch government on threads.

I think that's a misunderstanding or two. An Instagram/Threads account is one potential way "to follow the Dutch government" - actually this is hypothetical, as the threads/mastodon interop is also hypothetical at present, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36669480 .

An account on any public mastodon server is a second way to follow the Dutch government, and should work today much better than the first way. it doesn't need to be "on threads".

GETing the correct rss feed url on their mastodon server is a third way. You don't even need a mastodon account or any other account, but you have to "pull" the content, it's not pushed to your feed.

Finding out which other social media they broadcast to and following them there is possibly a fourth way.
> I hope this message finds you well.

As an American, I find this a very odd way to start an email.

It always makes me think of Civil War letters or something.

> I have a big favor to ask, and I truly appreciate your time and consideration.

This also seems like too much, and too early in the message. Leave the "thank you" for the end.
I'm still not sure to what extent climate change is man-made vs other factors, etc... the earth has had warmer periods than today in the past. I'm not saying we have no effect, I just can't help but feel it's over-stated.
its a double edged sword. the more deliberate actions you take, the easier it is for a lawyer to show that it was willful deception.
I'm sure there's at least some but barbieheimer has been a meme since the first dates got announced so I think it's pretty safe to say that a lot of it is people seeing both. My local theater even has the posters right next to each other.

My fiance and 10 of our friends already got tickets to both and can't wait. We're seeing Oppenheimer first, then a quick break for smoking weed, then back in for barbie
This is the essence of most of the rhetoric I'm seeing in this thread: Linux is more secure because its users are more technical.
It sounds like your concern is that an LLM is not capable of understanding an english explanation of the query and producing the correct query. I personally have not had many issues here, and the time saved by tweaking a generated query is larger than writing the query myself from scratch. And LLMs will only improve so that these tweaks require less time.
A lot of their PR is that way, but they also contract with Sri Lankan factories that don't provide livable wages and have long working hours. Patagonia says it's out of their control, but also... it's within their control to contract with these factories.

They may be _less_ evil, but not clear of all evils.

If they are gambling that the ticket will be worth more in the future (if it was worth more today, it would have been bought by a real customer), they could make millions, or lose everything like Zillow. Guessing what a volatile item will be worth in a month isn't all fun and games

What makes you say that? The history of physics (our most successful endeavor in this direction) is very monocultural (by the standard of granularity you are using).
So it's just a stamp of approval?
The trend isn't away from drinking, it's away from beer. Seltzers and other malt-based drinks have had huge growth in the past few years, mostly at the expense of beer sales, and liquor sales are up as well.

Slate's been doing a great series over the past week about these trends if you're interested: https://slate.com/tag/beer-package.

If it's actually from the vendor that's already an improvement over the typical Windows experience.
The point of UBI is that it is universal, so you also would be getting the basic income, so presumably, you can also pursue your "passions".
I'm all for diversity for diversity's sake, but I find this to be a very strange position. What difference between men and women are you proposing that allows one or both to have unique insights into the nature of the universe?

It seems like everything I know about the fundamental universe does come from a dozen or so dudes (for historical reasons rather than competency, of course), like Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Turing, and von Neumann. I fully believe that women could have solved the same problems, it just doesn't make sense to me to say that men can't, considering that they already have.
I feel the same way when someone gives me an MR without suitable unit tests. How do they know it is correct?
And their gigantic IP portfolio includes Arcanum, creator of which Tim Cain is now under MS' employ.

Tim has recently said he has the full source code to the original and the design doc to the planned sequel...
The "U" part means everyone would get it, so you don't have to opt for it, and everyone would still pay taxes

Another way to think of it is as a negative income tax - as a simple example the equation could be ((income * 0.2) - 20000), so if you make no money you get 20k, if you make 100k you pay no taxes and get nothing, if you make 200k you owe 20. This is using a flat tax rate for simplicity but then everyone get taxes 20% and everyone gets 20k. It's similar to public school - everyone pays for it and everyone gets it, but the purpose is to ensure it's there for people that wouldn't be able to afford it privately.
Eastern European countries were generally much more eager to join NATO than US was to accept them. I'm not sure why are you trying to deny their right to sovereignty?

Well it's not his area. Is India or Kenya etc. Britains "area"? No?

Or several dozen. Of course you unless you believe that there are no independent states in eastern Europe.
perhaps it is affections which give language its character

it's worth noting that the simplification of language was ostensibly the goal of newspeak in the book, 1984
What a dumb way to try to hide. And, inevitably, someone discovered some odd things. Now we can be mad about two things: the Crime and the Coverup.
Software is very quickly outdated, and the software world is also expanding. So you need a lot of people writing new software. I don't know how much security there is in the field, in our lifetime, probably a lot. But I can also imagine a world where the CPU doesn't get much faster anymore, and the churn of paradigms and frameworks slow down, and in that world, software lives longer and so you'll not need as many, or as many highly paid, software people.
This is actually bad advice for the "marketing professional" case for two reasons in my opinion;

* Author directs his client (?) to create hypothesis out of thin air and start testing them. This is how you loose time and money. The missing step in between is observation before hypothesis creation.

* In a workplace setting, the #1 thing you should do is to ask for feedback from your supervisor, incase you feel something is wrong or you have a performance problem and don't know what's wrong.
In the UK, 3rd rail is typically 600V (DC), where as overhead is 25kV (AC). So you need 40× the current to get the same power. For high powered intercity trains that run at around 1MW of power, it increases transmission losses substantially.
Good sounding at the highest levels but you quickly reach contradictions. The biggest contradiction is that you're charged with protecting people and your plan of action is going to devastate them far more than the cyberattack did. Real cut off the nose to spite the face stuff. The fact that the Chinese internet isnt cut off should be an indicator that the govt does in fact care about the little man but I'm sure that's a step too far here.
Ask HN: How vital is it to physically attend SIGGRAPH for my early career?
Bluntly: Is the added benefit of attending SIGGRAPH(instead of merely indulging in the Virtual Access stuff) worth not hiking the Pyrenees with my girlfriend?

I am a graduate student specializing in computer graphics and AI stuff. I'm very intent on finding some cool career at the intersection of technology and art so I signed up for SIGGRAPH back in April. I've been scouring information on generative art, NeRFs, and anything on the cutting edge of graphics for a while now so this is obviously the right place. I'd be happy enough indulging in all the talks and demos, but I'm especially interested in the networking aspect and finding a way to give myself a leg up on discovering a promising career. I have been feverishly working to develop my career since I've gotten to grad school, so this is pretty important to me.

However, my girlfriend has been planning on hiking the Pyrenees with a friend for a while now. That friend recently dropped out and her parents want someone to fill their place, so she asked me if I would like to go. I would! It would be wonderful. Her parents would likely be willing to accommodate for some of the cost of the trip which is nice as well. I don't feel any pressure to agree to this deal and my girlfriend has stressed the same, but obviously it sounds very enjoyable.

I understand that a lot of people's reaction to this sort of quandary sounds like 'never choose work over relationships, live life, go have fun' but all the familiar career anxiety of a college student has been hitting me this year and I really want to find something I love to do. I don't have a real plan set in stone as to what I would do at SIGGRAPH(I've heard having planned networking experiences there is vital) but I'm sure I'd find a way to make myself busy.

Only partly am I asking you trusty strangers what they would do in this situation, but moreso I am wondering: how great is the added value of attending SIGGRAPH as a student? My ticket already includes Virtual Access until September- can anyone attest to how valuable that is? I have heard a bit of chatter about how SIGGRAPH's in-person experience has declined since the pandemic- is this true? Are you the CEO of Pixar, and if so, would you like to hang out at SIGGRAPH??

Sorry to put you in the way of a young man's classic battle between love and work. Hope you all have a nice day.
My uncle is a triple amputee war vet with a Stanford degree and I’m not sure how he would take to your removal of his agency via accusations of inability to consent or safely gamble
Lots has been said about Musk owning Twitter.

In reality I think it's Twitter that owns him, make something viral on Twitter and this guy will feel the need to inject himself into that topic or regurgitate his opinion on whatever it is that is trending.

Rule #1 that any smart dealer knows is to never get hooked on the stuff that you are selling.
In the early days, they jammed you onto a respirator.

Apparently, this was the worst thing you could do.
by living in the hood or in MAGA country you are paying the same price, its just taken out of your wealth in different ways. The market is pricing things appropriately.
Sort of. It's also a statement of maturity.
Just a point to the marketing and shifting norms... I would call a 4-5% beer normal, not low, ABV.
