I don't think it's just retired lawyers. My uncle is a JP and hes a ferry captain. But he did have to so some kind of ceremony at the courts. I think he did it in order to be the family marriage celebrant and whatnot.

Some JPs take payment in the form of a box of beer or some small thing like that.
Wasn't there a post not too long ago here on HN for generating invoice PDFs from the command line? I'd favour that (because that could at least in principle be used part of automation) rather than having to type things into an HTML form.

I often wonder could we do things more efficiently. At least from power point of view. In computing and telecom. Do we actually need to move megabytes of javascript or massive pictures each time we refresh a web page?

Say what you will about saving developer time, but should we maybe think about these resources too?
Apparently several hundred trademarks reference 'X'.

I see lawsuits ahead.

It'll be nice if I can mail the invoice to someone straight from the website.
This isn't too related but

> Deep learning took off precisely when the ImageNet paper dropped around 2010. Before nobody believed that backprop can be GPU-accelerated.

Deep learning kicked off with RBMs because you didn't have to do backprop and there was a training algorithm called "contrastive divergence". Each layer could be done in turn, which meant you could stack them way deeper. In ~2008-2009 I implemented Hintons paper on GPUs, which meant I could do the same scale of thing that was taking weeks in matlab in hours on a gpu, and then there were lots of gpus available on the cluster in the uni. Lots of fun cuda hacking (I'm just glad cublas was around by then). The original published learning rates/etc are wrong if I remember right, they didn't match the code.
> So now we have to live with those "forums"

Which forums do you mean? Every community I was part of has moved to facebook groups, Reddit or Discord. PhpBB has gone the way of the dodo (regrettably, since those were the "good old days" for me, since I never used usenet).
> As a result, the full cycle efficiency of a hydrogen car can exceed that of a battery car.

No it does not. Efficiency is about energy in at the source versus energy out energy out at the wheels.

Alright, let's see the next senten-

>It's about proving to advertisement customers that their ads were seen and were useful.

So, it's about making sure that the ads that they showed me were personalized enough that they accurately target me. Ads that are built to be efficient because they create a need from a very small part in me that can normally be reasoned with. Or attack some deep seated fears to make me purchase their magic fat loss pills, that they accurately targeted because of attribution, and because of being repeatedly told how effective their blasts are.

So it's about personalization, got it.

I think you're right, HN and news websites are the only places that Facebook is referenced as "Meta", and that's been the name for a couple of years now.

If there are two things that I've learned from the pandemic is that i) societies fail to prevent totally predictable catastrophic events if doing so is detrimental to their economies and ii) societies only commit to solving these problems when there's really no other option (and even so it won't be smooth nor will everyone agree on how to handle it).

So yeah, I'm pessimistic about how climate change will unfold.

USENET very much depended on ISPs in practice, they ran most of the servers!

However, yes it was theoretically possible to have a route between two NNTP servers that wasn't over a BGP-routed chunk of internet but was "something else". Including posting a tape.
You need an SSH server running and the remote machine to be accessible (through NAT, firewall) to connect there with SSH. With tunnels, it's inverted: the remote machine needs to be able to connect to the central server, which is typically much easier; then you can connect to it.

Someone at work played this prank on a business analyst and almost got fired. It was the early 90's, and we were a shop running HP/UX on Apollo workstations. She was a SME for the application we were developing, but was otherwise non-technical. He and her were friends, so one day he fired up xroach on her system. When she moved a window she absolutely freaked out, and wanted the guy fired. He kept his job, but I don't think they were friends after that.
TSMC to Build $2.87B Facility for Advanced Chip Packaging
This is a massive leap in assumptions and arguments.

For one, blocking users in a geographic region would not be legally considered racial discrimination unless you can prove intent. This is the bullshit loop hole that makes it easy to get away with discrimination, but that's the way it works.

If Google really wants to play this game and create a technical gate preventing usage of sites by anyone that uses a browser that may be blocking ads, there's a legitimate business need there and all they have to say is they are no longer willing to serve users that refuse to pay by viewing ads and providing valuable data. In the case of Chrome they can extend this and say they are helping make sure anyone hosting content online can also protect their revenue as well.

Is that a shitty practice and will it cripple the internet as it was originally designed? Absolutely. But likening this to systemic racism is an insane argument and really doesn't help get at the underlying problem that we would all rather have an internet that is open, free, and not designed entirely as a corporate ad playground.

You can check it yourself with reverse engineering tools, e.g. on Android you could look at the APK with jadx and see the decompiled Signal implantation, and how it compares to the open source Java library from Signal that it is derived from.

I see. Do you think it's an unfair question?
Alright. I'll comment. -- I find it interesting to learn just how much the Go compiler can "optimize your code away". That's both good and bad.

The point on benchmarking the right thing is 100% spot on, same goes for testing too. The optimization problem however is a bit too contrived IMO. When would you possible write code (aside from very trivial things) where the compiler would optimize all your code away, thus making your benchmarking invalid? I want to see a real-world example of where someone has been caught out by this?
> I never buy Unity/Unreal games or non-multiplayer games.

Well, of course that's a valid approach, but you do realize that most people playing games don't really care which engine something is developed in?

Even if this personal requirement of yours is true or not, "Not a single game is custom made for VR" couldn't be further from the truth, and the mainstream does not have anything close to those requirements. They simple buy and play games that look fun, regardless of engine.
Optimistic side note: It's gonna evolve back after our industrialized presence is gone which will be in just a few centuries at most.

Perhaps we will "achieve" it this century already!
They don't have to weaken the crypto. If you go "on the list", they just send you new code that starts using weak/no encryption. If you aren't on the list, then you'll never see this.

The problem with Signal (and anything like Signal) is not the server code, but the client code distributed through app stores. We have had email encryption for decades without ever having to trust any email servers.
This reminds me of Twix, which every few years or so brings out a "special" Raiders edition to defend the old brand.

Perhaps Musk will do something similar. He's definitely not going to give up Twitter, and even if he does, he'll keep the domain.
You could improve the speed a little bit (maybe) by doing something like:

self._fns = {fn.__name__: fn for fn in [...]}

This may not be faster since the list is so short, but worth checking into
You may be conflating "giving alternative perspectives for a more holistic picture" and "attempting to supplant one perspective with another to advance one's own agenda".
That is sadly common perception (IMHE). Just look at the use of the "cave man" as an illustration of dumbness.
You can try QubesOS, which does exactly this using virtual machines. Clipboard is not shared by default, you need to move the contents of the clipboard using yet another keystroke pair (so it's 4-salutes scheme: Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Shift-C, Ctrl-Shift-V, Ctrl-V to actually copy something between machines). App's windows are delineated with coloured borders which cannot be overridden from inside the VM.

There are major usability problems, mostly related to graphics (the protocol that forwards the windows is purposefully dumb and doesn't support 3D acceleration at all), but for things like browsing bank apps or even watching youtube it's enough.

This is the correct answer. Since it was a "permissionless publish" system, with no authentication, anyone could post anything. This was a disaster in the way that pure free speech systems always are.

(To some extent, there was a natural response in that anyone could cancel anything, although those ended up adding authentication. At one point people estimated that a third of traffic was spam and another third was "spam cancels".)

Experience with Dagster.io?
I never heard of dagster.io before, but the fact that it's a pipeline orchestration tool that is also open-source got me hooked! I worked a lot with Alteryx before, so I love these kinds of approaches to building end-to-end pipelines.
I lived in a small town in Nevada in the early 90s, and I ran one of the local BBSs. Every six months or so, we would have an IRL party and meet other BBS sysops and the users. It was really fun to finally be able to put faces with usernames.

BBSs kind of served as a filtering device for finding other people like you. In a small town, it was easy to feel isolated and lonely for being a nerd, but then you find this community of other nerds!

It was great and I don't know the equivalent nowadays.
A function called ':' is defined. In its body, it calls itself twice at the same time (':|:') (piping the output of the first call into the second, which doesn't do anything useful) and sends these calls to the background ('&'). After function ':' is finished being defined, it is called.

The first call spawns two clones. Each of those spawn two more. Etc.
Graphite CLI development is no more open source
Facebook: The Last Social Network
Back in my MSP days I had a client report that their server was slowing down after an hour. They would also use this "server" (a tower computer in a back room) to adjust inventory, print reports, etc, but after an hour of having used it, everything would slow to a crawl. It was running databases and such that other computers in the building accessed.

Every time the server slowed down, someone would go back there and restart the software, or reboot the whole computer, and it'd be fine for another hour.

Sure enough, after an hour, some fancy ass 3D screen saver came on and pegged the CPU. It was some shareware thing that someone downloaded because it looked cool. I ended up turning the screensaver off and just set the monitor to go to sleep after 10 minutes.
We have people wondering how to get to a 1 on the Kardashev Scale and then there's also people that want to hit the 0 goalpost. It's a sight to behold.

It way be the freshest take on the subject I have seen, but it runs into the same problem that all climate activism has: Okay, you have now raised my awareness sufficiently. What do you want me to do that can credibly solve this problem?

It's the credible part that I have never heard any good results for. Clearly almost anything I can do as an individual (other than science or politics) is not going to have any kind of influence and large scale inter-national agreements haven't exactly led to much.

So if you want to join this up as a fight, at first we must know how to fight and we must know that it has a reasonable chance of success.
𝕏 - it's just Unicode
Raises some good points indeed, however it assumes that the Saudis ordered Musk to buy and crash Twitter directly, and it assumes that the Tesla shares he used as collateral would go to zero.

It's also possible that they got approached by Musk and saw a good timing to exploit a rich Western idiot to further their interests. I mean, Musk being deranged enough to call a rescue diver a pedo, smoking weed in Joe Rogan's podcast or give names to his children that are completely bonkers even for celebrities?

The signs that he's not completely well mentally were there for years. Loaning him 20 billion or whatever dollars was an extremely high risk move alone for that factor, so either the Saudis have gone off the rails as well or they see some hidden aspect that makes the deal worth their while even if the risk event materializes.
That's not true, and fishing is not sustainable.

Has the magic social solution done anything? When do we stop pretending that the whole world will fall in lock step? Did the world all agree that child exploitation is wrong yet?(ask the millions of people still participating)

All things intelligent exist in one's brain and imagination is how each piece of everyone's understanding of the world began.

The social solution requires a removal of freedom. The removal of freedom will involve a war. I would say the risk tolerance isn't black and white.
Yes, it works on the iPad well enough. Safari doesn't support the local files feature (due to security) but it works, as others have said, in a pinch.

If you save it as a shortcut to your Home Screen, it almost comes across as a native app.
Great understanding of the work!
I will add more details about INNs.

* In fact, INNs concept opens possibility to utilise differential analysis for DNNs parameters. Concept of sampling and integration can be combined with Nyquist theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampli...).
Analysing the FFT image of weights allows to create the measure of a layer capacity. Two different size DNNs can be equivalent after conversion to INN because max frequency is the same for both networks.

* Tuning the integration grid is actually first steps for fast knowledge extraction. We have tested INNs on discrete EDSR (super-resolution) and have prune without INN training in 1 minute. We can imagine situation when user fine-tunes GPT-4 for custom task just by integration grid tuning simultaneously reducing number of model parameters keeping only important slices along filters/rows/heads etc. Because of smooth parameters sharing new filters/rows/heads include "knowledge" of neighbours.

* Also interesting application is to utilise integral layers for fast frame interpolation. As conv2d in INN can produce any number of output channels i.e. frames.

You can stay tuned and also check Medium on INN progress and applications.

Yes, Wayland with KDE on Fedora 37, daily drive it.

Mostly stable, with minior issues. Responsiveness of Wayland is much better than X11.

Zoom screensaring doesn't work with the native client. I usually join using the web client where screensaring works. Usually I join via both, the native client handles video and virtual backgrounds better. None of this is Wayland/KDEs fault and is on Zoom still not supporting Wayland correctly.

I wish it didn't take bad faith efforts to enforce anti-trust laws, if we even get there with Google.

Im not a fan of big government and regulation, but if we're going to have anti-trust laws on the books they should be enforced evenly. It's so crazy to me that Bill Gates got raked through the coals for years over IE while Google and Apple have been allowed to get away with much, much worse.

Claims of code of conduct violations on the basis that the technical proposal itself is a violation of the Positive Work Environment provisions is a stretch. It is, however, a clear violation of the Priority of Constituencies[1], including the dictum about who is in control: the Web must enhance individuals' control and power[2].

Having said that, the comment that Weiss links to when citing himself...:

> I understand many folks here are upset about this proposal. I urge you to actually read the proposal, rather than rely on rumors about what it does or doesn't propose. If it's at all helpful, I wrote a few words about ways you can constructively engage with proposals you don't like.

... almost certainly does run afoul of the W3C's provisions for acceptable and unacceptable behavior outlined in the code of ethics and professional conduct. Implying that someone who is "upset" about the proposal is responding to rumors and that it is okay to admonish them to "actually read [it]" is both uncharitable and noxious to the discussion. There's a good reason why HN, for example, has an explicit rule against accusing people of not having read the article.

> you're willing to bet our world on the on the chance of some magic technical solution appearing.

I love how you just throw stuff in my bag. I'm not willing to bet our world, nor can I do that. What I am not willing to do is make my family suffer today so that the people of the world can, tomorrow, get together and sing kumbaya, magically deindustrializing while preserving standards of living.

To me, the risky move seems to be to push away from the magic technical solution and towards the magic humans deciding to do worse for themselves solution.
128/256-bit subset of AVX-512 already exists and implemented by P-cores as well as Zen4. They will just enable it via micro-code.
I think the limited places Amtrak can go are one of the reasons for this. The low prices are CREATING demand, so they can't respond to it. I would love to have Amtrak here, I love riding on trains, I love traveling, and I like long trips (I took a bus across the country...twice back in the day just to enjoy the changing scenery), so I'd definitely use them if they were available. They are looking at ways to extend into my city, but no concrete plans yet.

The railroad system in the US should have been bought out by the government a long time ago. We could have spent decades upgrading and expanding routes and things would have been great today. Instead, we are car/plane focused. This leads to huge amounts of pollution compared to what a modern electric train system would produce.
> If you don't use the app then you probably shouldn't be making definitive statements about what content is on the platform.

One can use the app for any amount of time, and make any comment they wish.

If there's a critical mass of people making the same criticisms of the app, maybe the explanation isn't "you're using it wrong".
