Title is a bit clickbaity, but the authror has a point. We're doing the same things as before but wasting huge amounts of computer power.

Been my position for quite some time. But you can imagine it doesn't go down well on HN. Here latest language/machine/etc is of great interest, and keeping-up-with-the-xxxs is normally seen as vital :(
which is odd, because nearly every modern cpu has some sort of hardware acceleration available for AI stuff... has the tech stack just become so convoluted that we're actually going backwards?

I do with they had OSS'ed the code for at least the desktop app, but maybe there were licensing issues? or just no one cared.
how does HAMTs compare with more recent designs like Swiss Tables? [1]

Sure, but that's not what the saying literally says. It says "only a poor craftsman blames his tools". It makes no mention of the tools being actually fit for the purpose. They should have specified that.

And even if it is the "right" tool (a hammer for a nail), what if the hammer is a plastic kid's toy?

I think this saying makes far too many implicit assumptions about the type and quality of the craftsman's tools.
Just at the whole domain or does each dev make their own subdomain?
From mi amigo OhMeadhbh who can't seem to post it to HM themselves...

It's a 3 minute YouTube video they did showing where to download a VT220 font and modify ~/.Xresources to configure xterm to look like an old-timey VT220/VT240 amber terminal. Plus, something about sixel support.

I think the important bit is it's pretty easy to do.
Here are a some papers:

Avoiding Ultraviolet Divergence by Means of Interior-Boundary Conditions https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.00497 This is perhaps the first of the papers and so may be a good place to start.

Bohmian Trajectories for Hamiltonians with Interior-Boundary Condition https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.10235 This is the Bohmian part of the story.

Multi-Time Wave Functions https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.05282 This explains the trickiness of having interactions with multi-time wave functions (space-time suggests having multi-time wave functions and no single time).

Creation Rate of Dirac Particles at a Point Source https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.16606 This seems to suggest that there is a kind of spiral approach from/to the point of creation/annihilation.

---

The authors have done a variety of papers on this. A key phrase they use is Interior-Boundary Conditions.

They also released a book based on a course covering some of these ideas: Multi-time Wave Functions, An Introduction https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-60691-6
I'd downloaded your app some time ago, but I guess it didn't really stand out to me amongst the other learning apps. Adding anki integration, however, is a huge deal to me. That already puts it a step ahead of stuff like Easy Japanese.

I would say, some of the ui elements are broken on an iPhone 13 mini. With the anki creation dialog (with the listing of all the features), the button that I'm assuming was the confirm button was off screen and couldn't be scrolled to.

Also, if you don't take action on a specific kanji, it will remove the furigana as if it's "known." This seems a bit counter-intuitive to me. If I don't take any action on it, I feel like it should return to its original state.

I've also had the lower drawer (?) disappear entirely never to return. In the sentences tab, when I press the "translate" button it begins rendering the webpage then turns into a blank screen; I have to open it in the default browser to see it. In some cases the "open in default browser" button also disappears.

When I have some more time I'll definitely be diving into this app more. Despite the bugs, it might have enough value adds to considering paying for it. Thanks for sharing!
Repetitive DNA sequences do occur and do cause problems.

TLDR: DNA triplet repeat expansions cause diseases like Huntington's disease.
I couldn’t possibly begin to disprove or prove that.

What I can say is we have decently strong childhood labor laws which other developing countries do not, and that fact is exploited to drive down costs and increase profits.

> Oracle does care about open source, to the extent that they have been the top Linux kernel contributor several times.

Back when I worked for Huawei, we regularly figured in the list of top contributors to the Linux kernel each cycle. I never got the impression that Huawei cares about open source. It was just a pragmatic, disinterested business decision.

Also, you shouldn't anthropomorphize Oracle.

Being pedantic: RSA is a cryptosystem, not a protocol, and the parameters that were used in 1980s RSA encryption look nothing like the parameters used in today's RSA (in part because they're much larger now, but also in part because we now know about all the weird things that happen when you choose non-standard exponents, primes that are too close to each other, etc.).

RSA is also not typically described as robust, for those reasons.
Sure! Yes! I agree! 100 years is way too long. 20 years is much more reasonable. But the comment that I was responding to (and many others in this thread) are advocating for the complete removal of copyright, and that's what I'm responding to.
It does, it's even in the title of this post..
I'm not confused at all. I have no reason to doubt my understanding of things at this time. First you redefined words and contradicted dictionary and encyclopedic definitions of simple concepts and terms. Now you're calling me a stupid, confused, mentally incapable "ethnostatist". This borders on gaslighting.

In the papers you linked, I can't see any studies where the subjects were consuming an equivalent amount of soy to the 60-year-old soy milk enjoyer. Looks to be much less in all of these trials.

So it seems the question hasn't been conclusively answered. But the case study hints at the possibility of an excessively high intake of soy having an estrogenizing effect, even if we don't know why. Maybe he had some particular configuration of gut bacteria that helped this process along, or something. More research needed.

Hey man, maintainer of the project here. This is one of the feature we are working toward, after getting the Facial Recognition some more loves and fine tunning :)
When I interviewed with them, they were doing an intelligence test that involved quickly identifying rotated shapes. But later in the interview they acknowledged that they only hire people from the community who have already been contributing. The intelligence and personality tests are a misdirection: they want you to do an unpaid internship.
I assume you're be sarcastic ;) But the ongoing crop of security problems (eg buffer overflows and pointer hassles) are not so much the fault of the C language as they are of the various libraries.
No, "finding lost and immobilized callers" was the cover-story nominally used when E911 legislation was pushed hard in Congress in 1999/2000 (by the wireless industry, not directly by law enforcement).

Do we really believe that Congress authored a law to improve "safety" but that had enormous negative privacy implications, while accidentally forgetting to even speak to the other 99.999+% of the time that the average person's location data is not involved with an emergency? Why were the legislation (and debate) conspicuously silent on limiting (let alone criminalizing) use and retention of location data, let alone resale (e.g. to data brokers or private parties?)

Let's not pretend this exact outcome wasn't predicted and raised in strenuous objections by consumer advocates back in 1999; the following reads like a to-do list from lobbyists (why e.g. did the industry push for immunity for non-911 calls?)

> 10/4/1999 WIRELESS 911 BILL HITS LIABILITY, PRIVACY OBSTACLES

> Failure to pass the 911 bill-the centerpiece of the wireless industry’s lobbying campaign in 1999-would be a serious setback for carriers and 911 vendors that want immunity from lawsuits before rolling out... caller identification and position location.

> Holding the bill over until 2000 could prove highly problematic for industry, given it is an election year. Moreover, a delay would buy time for consumer groups and others that are beginning to surface and speak out on wireless liability issues pending before Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and state courts.

> In addition to liability protection for 911 and non-911 wireless calls...

> Such broad liability immunity for wireless carriers has caused an uproar from consumer advocates who claim 911 legislation is part a master plan by industry to secure shielding from virtually all lawsuits.

> In some state courts, consumers have brought litigation against wireless firms for being charged for rounded up and dropped calls, fraudulent advertising and other carrier practices. [boo hoo hoo]

Yeah but it doesn't support syncing photos from the camera roll. So you have to use something else to copy photos from the camera roll to the mobius sync folder. I use the PhotoSync app for that, but it's not free and it's not that reliable. And the extra step adds even more latency to the whole pipeline. iOS allows these apps to run in the background only once per day generally, and so it can be several days before photos get all the way synced.

If this app can do background sync of the camera roll directly from iOS to an Android device in one step I may switch to it and stop using both Mobius Sync and Photosync.
But you said "There is abundant evidence that microplastics are destroying marine ecosystems."

"Destroying". So clearly your position is based on studies. Why would you just share search results and not the studies that prove microplastics are "destroying" ecosystems.
well that's dumb, someone changed the demo username/password
Even if the exponential improvements, which have been happening in both hardware and AI algorithms, were to slow down to sub-exponential, this still assumes that exponential advancements are necessary for AI to reach a level where it can assist in algorithm design. And only now we're seeing big jumps in AI investments, which could serve as another source of improvements. You could even argue that we're seeing the first signs of recursive improvements, with Copilot making programmers ~20% more productive.
> it controls what is done with the work after the author freely produces it and gives it to another

No, not "gives" - sells. There's a transaction involved - and part of copyright law is preserving that transactional nature, such that person A doesn't sell their work exactly once to person B who proceeds to give it away for free to every other person on the planet.

The fact that the creator of a work sells it to one person does not give that person license to pirate it.
In this context (the blog post) and the reason firecracker was created, was to isolate workloads.

And if youre running untrusted code, then using a virtualized environment is the easiest (id even say best) way to go about it.

> It's not really like the SAT at all. The SAT is pure academics.

I mean, it's a test that takes less than an afternoon where you answer questions by filling in bubbles and such. That's quite a lot like the SAT.

>The ASVAB has logical reasoning portions (order the shapes based on labels of points), mechanical questions, I remember getting asked questions about force distribution of pulleys and tackle, but also questions like volume of a cone, basic trig, knights and knaves questions, what is the name of this screwdriver orientation, what's this engine piece called? ( Camshaft), and now there's even a computer science focused addition the Air Force uses.

Is this not all "subject matter appropriate for evaluating military recruits" ?

You may be reading a bit much into what I wrote. My high school had everyone take it to fulfill a state requirement that we take so many standardized tests which gave schools the option of which ones to give.

>It's a test that actually tells you about what you know and can understand, and is far more useful than an SAT or ACT exam.

Being a bit condescending yourself here.

It's a standardized test appropriate for military recruits. For somebody who doesn't know was ASVAB means at all... this would seem a pretty good concise description.

For now.

A truly anonymous service would start by not needing apps, which are notoriously leaky, on purpose.
Several years ago, I lived very close to the University and there were several Desi stores nearby. So I would shop in them and try out my Indian cookbook all the time, it was great. They had the best fragrant spices and the really good yogurt drinks.

Once I purchased a big sack of basmati rice. When I opened it at home, all the larvae came worming their way out. I mean there was a lot of bugs in this rice. And I knew this store tended to keep stuff on their shelves years beyond the expiration dates. So I took the sack of rice back to the store.

The kind proprietor told me it was a nothingburger and the bugs wouldn't hurt me. I said ugh. He said just to pick the bugs out. I said there's a lot of bugs. He insisted this is normal and no big deal. I think I finally managed to make the return. And I really didn't feel like shopping there again.

Growing up, my dad would say hilarious things, like "mmm, more protein" and lick his lips when he saw a bug on our food. Or, he would see a non-venomous spider in the house and say "he won't eat much." But I managed to develop a rather neurotic fear of pests. I adored beneficial insects when I was a child; I memorized all their Latin scentific names, and I purchased ladybugs and mantids at the nursery and I released them all into the garden. I would build ant farms, fascinated with their tunneling and behaviors. I used to catch butterflies just because they were beautiful. But show me a cockroach or a bedbug in my home, and I will go into a hissy fit. I don't feel like that's abnormal.
Haha, we only have people speaking those languages contribute to the readme at the moment. The app is translated to multiple languages though
I wish Google Photos UI was better but it still seems to be the best solution. Hosting something like this seems like it would cost more time/money/frustration than its worth.

On the other hand, I always think its awesome to see self hosted solutions! It helps to create competition.

> These established libraries already paid the price of implementation, and are very battle-tested. There's therefore very good reason to believe their RSA implementation is secure.

Many of these established libraries have fallen in battle, some several times. There's always a new up and coming library that works on platform X, in language Y, or has a better license Z, or is integrated into an init system, and while some of them learn from the experience of others, many learn by making the same mistakes others did.

Pushing towards simpler constructions gives hope that those new implementations make fewer mistakes.

A few decades ago I needed proof of my military service, US Navy last duty in Vietnam, and was astounded to find that they had been in that St. Louis fire but I did get a copy of my DD 214 so not all was lost. I'd still like to get my records.
Thanks for the bug reports! And glad the app finally stands out for you ;) I'll re-test on iPhone 13 mini dimensions for correct layout and will ensure it works properly.

For the furigana, you can configure this behavior in the reader settings - whether it hides furigana from familiar words (ones you've marked as read or looked up), or only words you are learning in flashcards, or to always hide or show them. Maybe the "only when learning in flashcards" setting is a better default? I've made that change for the next update.

The lower drawer was implemented in a strange way because of a SwiftUI limitation. I've found a solution and will reimplement this to prevent this class of error from recurring. The translation function someone else reported here, I will fix as well.

Please keep the feedback coming. You can reach me on twitter or email or chat.
Can they reach the center? And how long would that take? I ask because time will slow down for them as they accelerate towards the center.

As a Mastodon user who hates Meta, I am still excited about Threads adding ActivityPub support. The one thing missing from the Mastodon experience is a lot of my real-life friends who are now on Threads. It'll be nice to be able to connect with them via federation.

Embrace, extend, and extinguish is always a concern, but I think the fediverse is now large and diverse enough to withstand it. Threads will hopefully make the concept of the fediverse more mainstream and raise all ships.
What is philosophy other than applied logic? I welcome people exploring new domains after becoming an expert in one. Often times that’s the impetus they need to find the next cross-cutting innovation.
Those numbers are misleading. IdenTrust has always been a small CA in terms of volume. The large percentage you see for them there is actually Let's Encrypt volume counted as IdenTrust because of the cross-sign. The Let's Encrypt percentage there is from sites not using the cross-sign. Add them together and that is basically Let's Encrypt's total volume, as IdenTrust itself is likely < 1%.
I agree - It's harder to use windows that require scrolling. Unfortunately, this includes ALL of web browsing.
When the HP archive burned to the ground, and since the Vatican library has tons of unscanned historical documents in its library, I posted here that one could just hire a bunch of students with phone cameras to take a snap page by page.

No skills are needed, no special equipment, either.

I was amazed at the pushback on this, because making copies should only be done by skilled archivists with expensive machines, and as a result, no copies are made and it all goes up in smoke.

I've archived quite a bit of family letters and stuff using a phone camera. You don't even need a stand for the camera. A kitchen table on a cloudy day is perfect. The pictures are sharp and clear, even if the document isn't perfectly flat.

Don't believe me? You've got a phone in your pocket. Take it out, take a pic of a document on your desk, and see for yourself.
Correct, a distinction with this service is that the domain names are free. One part of my decision to build this service was the fall of freenom (free domain names).

Typically free domain name services are full of spam, malware, and other junk. getlocalcert seeks to avoid that as it only permits private network usage. My hope is that this model can serve that niche while avoiding abuse.
Transfer functions. PTSD flashbacks of Laplace transforms ensue.

Another interesting bit is you can do the majority of signal processing stuff digitally within an ADC with DSPs or in software if you have enough processing power. There are quantized equivalents of LP/HP/BP/BS filters and other transfer functions that can operate on a stream of values post-ADC. The advantage of filtering digitally is FFTs can create filters with no phase shift and infinite rolloff like an ideal filter, properties unattainable in passive analog electronic filters.
