It's simply the practical question of what type of site HN is trying to be. We want curious conversation, not people bashing each other, which is what flamebait leads to.

Commenters who get too sure of their moral positions tend to do a lot of this. I'm not saying the moral positions are wrong (I probably agree a lot of the time, certainly Sinead did a courageous thing, etc. etc.). But the quality of discussion this leads to is predictably poor, evokes worse from others, and tends to go straight to the bottom of the internet barrel. We're trying to not get sucked completely into that muck here—a difficult task to even partly achieve, so we need everyone's help.

We already do. MLC-LLM and Llama.cpp have Vulkan/OpenCL/Metal 3 bit implementations. That can run llama 7B (or maybe even 13b?) in 8GB.

TBH devices just need more ram for coherent output though. Llama 13b and 33b are so much "smarter" and more coherent than 7B with 3 bit quant.

I'm not familiar with that particular app but if that happens it's not fine and it seems to get a pass from Apple. The apps are not allowed to download executable code. You have to bundle it all in the app.
Off-topic Reaction: Could my (retired) friend Bill train his dog Hoover to discern hot dogs from non-hotdogs? If the new rule was that Hoover could freely eat dropped hot dogs, but had to wait for Bill's "okay" command before eating any other dropped food - could she figure that out?

(Bill has Parkinson's, and shaky hands. Hoover is not the world's brightest mutt. But some border collies are supposedly able to distinguish hundreds of dog toys by name, plus handle the abstract reasoning of "if I am commanded to fetch a toy with a never-before-heard name, and there is one toy which I don't recognize available, then the new name must be for that new toy".)

That is just 100% wrong. It is literally a major point of contention in the demands of SAG and big reason they went on strike.
>My hope is that the majority of sites accept that they can't rely on ad revenue, and instead resort to directly monetizing users as a way to make ends meet.

How?

You see, this is the problem I have with all these debates where advertising is declared the villain. "Directly monetising" usually means subscriptions and logins, which means you lose all anonymity, not just gradually like under an ad targeting regime, but definitively and completely. Now payment processors and banks also get a share of the surveillance cake.

The greatest irony is that you may not even get rid of advertising. Advertising only becomes more valuable and more effective. All the newspaper subscriptions I have run ads.

The second issue is that advertising is paid for by consumers in proportion to their spending power, because a certain share of every £$€ spent is used to buy ads. Therefore, rich people fund more of our free at the point of use online services than poor people do.

If rich people move to subscriptions, this subsidy ends. Poor people will either be cut off from high quality services and relegated to their own low quality information and services (as is already the case with newspapers) or they will have to suffer through even more advertising.

Good, I especially like your first cited meta analysis: “CBT appears to be as effective as pharmacotherapies at the short term, but more effective at the longer term” (I have nothing against the meds). I view it this way: modern CBT is actually vacuuming all the working approaches. CBT is something that you can use anywhere - it’s mostly a tool to notice and rewrite your unhelpful thoughts. The goal of the best approach is to eventually have no crutches - no need to have a permanent psychologist if you become one for yourself. Group therapies or approaches that are hard to use individually cannot give you that. I found CBT to be very easy to learn from their main book. Some people rave about meditation - I think they’ll eventually learn the basics of thought-rewriting from CBT and will rave about it even more)

I think it speaks less to people's religious feelings and more towards the rather apolitical and apathetic alternative music culture at the time. If I recall the atmosphere at the time it was less "how dare she say that about the Pope?!" and more "how dare she co-opt the public stage for controversial/'political' speech?!" I also don't recall the outrage at her SNL performance even being particularly or especially by Catholics in particular, though I'm sure it was stronger among them.

The rage around her Pope-photo-tearing photo on SNL I think was about: we're trying to sell/watching a entertainment products here, and now you've just gone and made things intense. They just wanted the dancing bear.

She was an intense personality, an artist, not an entertainer. Maybe getting a billboard #1 single and becoming a sensation was the worst thing that could have happened for her. People just wanted to be entertained -- they wanted the fantastic voice but without the powerful emotions and convictions behind it -- and she didn't want to be a 'product'

I agree it's especially jarring in the context of a Bob Dylan tribute.
Am I reading correctly that characters are 16 bits? If so, is this just for the boundaries (e.g. file system, web)?
I agree. Being willing to pay for services reduces companies from doing such things,

But offering something to the public for free for years and once they make an essential useful place in the society, using their position as ransom to extract money is still unethical in my eyes. e.g. If Reddit was going to be a paid service from the beginning, this would not have happened. They only shove their advertisement and dark patterns ridden app when they have gotten their users addicted. Same thing with Youtube, Gmail and other services. Reaching critical mass and then using their market position to extract money or selling data.
You would lose all of the natural language q&a (ask X) which imho is the useful piece.

You are right, I left out an important part of my budgeting setup: Every month, after income, everything above a set amount is transferred automatically into a savings account. So at the beginning of each month, I have the same amount of money in my checking account.

Still, even just the number going down tells me exactly how much money I have spent this month – like looking into my wallet would. But I have the added benefit of knowing what I spent it on even long after the purchase.

I don't always review the paper trail, only if my spending is higher than what I expected it to be. But I always check the balance before any bigger purchase. In both cases, I know to spend less in advance and can make an informed decision.

Seeing these decrease in numbers really emphasizes the strength of exercise as an intervention. It's lot just isometric exercise, but all types here that significantly lowered blood pressure. And it's not just blood pressure, it's basically all bad health outcomes, according to other meta analyses. People want to know what food to eat, what food not to eat, and what supplements to take, what drugs to take. But we should be asking how we can make room in a week to get 3-6 hours of moderate physical activity, first.

You omitted to explain what you do for a living.

I write code for a living, and what you describe simply doesn't work for me given the many different things I need to look at and refer to in parallel (without having to perform a hard context switch such as moving to another workspace or un-maximizing a window) to be able to cobble together code that works.
There are about ~2m apps on the iOS App Store.

And if we assume on average 10 updates to each app then we have ~20m approvals/rejections.

Given that the process involves real people it is only normal for there to be many inconsistencies and double standards at this scale. Especially when the rules have evolved over the last 15 years and you have app developers who like to push the limits of what's allowed.
Yes. Specific foods. Such as corn, sugar and soybean.

“The US sugar program relies on import quotas and limits on domestic production to ensure domestic prices for raw and refined sugar are, on average, about 100% higher than world prices.

4,000 or so farms that raise sugar beet and sugarcane, many of which also plant most of their cropland to other heavily subsidized commodities such as corn and soybeans.”

Do the dream journal process regardless. It is totally fine to wake up, take out the dream journal, write "I had no dreams" and the date and call it an entry.

Try it, ideally two weeks, but give it at least ten days.

There's a really good (but not 100%) chance you do have dreams but just really don't recall them - but you may start to capture fragments by attempting to describe them first thing.

And it really does have to be first thing. Before you play with your phone or brush your teeth. As soon as you can move, grab and start writing.
If lisps are that good why there's so little killer software written in it?

With rare exceptions like emacs and clojure's datomic I feel like such a lauded language should have more to show.

And yet, there's comparatively much more killer applications written in php alone than all lisps combined.

I am proficient in several lisps by the way (Racket, CL, Emacs Lisp, Scheme) and honestly every time I need to start a "serious" project I just feel like any other language depending on the use case is a better fit.

I hope this comparison tool helps at least one person take action to reduce light pollution. For my part I have no outside lights on at night (this helps insects, too), and will add "light pollution" to the list of things I lobby my reps about.

There's a lot of moral outrage regarding this proposal, rightfully so. In fact, it should be further intensified. But apart from that, I don't think this proposal will work in any case.

When implemented without holdouts (closed loop), you do have a tight DRM web, which will attract legislators. Or so we hope.

When implemented with holdouts, it's barely useful to websites since they still need the backup mechanisms to detect fraud that they have anyway. If they need to keep it around, might as well use that as singular solution which has the added "benefit" of collecting way more personal data.

To me the most interesting aspect is that all of the alien discussions and reports spiked after we invented nuclear weapons.

Blue Origin is another company that talks a good game, but they've yet to put anything in orbit.

If said teammate decides to follow through on his idea without your explicit permission, transfer him to another team ASAP (without his approval). No teammate can show initiative, self-direction, or autonomy. Furthermore, every piece of work must be represented in JIRA and every team member must report on it —- daily.

This happened to me recently. Yes, I’m a little salty about it. Although it’s probably for the better, as this guy is no longer my manager. For the record, my super-great-idea was upgrading some 5+ year old software that was giving us and the devs a lot of headaches. I was told it could not be done, and it would be replaced by The Next Great Thing, which would take 6-8 months of engineering. I upgraded the thing in a day (in dev) just to prove that it could be done. Despite praises from my teammates (and devs) I had undermined The Manager. Although I know he wanted to, he could not berate or yell or force me to rollback —- imagine telling dev we are rolling back to a five year old version. In any case, ten years in and I’ve learned that the manager is a hard cap on the productivity of a team. The most productive team I’ve been on did not have a manager. We didn’t need a JIRA board or a roadmap or someone to help us plan or prioritize. We simply got our work done. Imagine that.
> Secondary network meta-analyses revealed isometric wall squat and running as the most effective submodes for reducing SBP (90.4%) and DBP (91.3%), respectively.

Wall squat was actually a close second to running for DBP reduction as well. As a member of late gen-X who is getting slightly elevated BP readings, this is very interesting and timely. I always assumed, without evidence, that aerobic exercises would be best for reducing BP. Be right back, going to do some wall squats.
Posting a big public note like this can also reduce the number of support cases asking “did you fix this?”
> How fast they will get more could depend on the current value of their account, where the value could be calculated from the credits and the number of subscribers they have.

So are you then implicitly setting the price yourself because anyone who doesn't charge enough can't get more credits?

Suppose someone develops an app which takes hardly any effort to make -- it's a hundred lines of code -- but it does something common that everybody needs so if available for $0.01 it would have a hundred million users. Which would gross a million dollars and more than pay for the development of the simple app, so the developer is satisfied with that. But to do that you'd have to let them sell a hundred million subscriptions for $0.01 each.

Now let's go toward the other end of the spectrum. Some app which is specialized and requires a million dollars of developer time but only has a market of 10,000 customers. Those customers would pay $100 each for it, if they had to, but not if they can buy into the system somewhere else for $10 (or $0.01) instead.

In general, who is going to buy a fungible subscription for significantly more than it's available somewhere else? How do you handle the fact that the development cost of a thing isn't proportional to the number of people who use it?
If this requirement was known to me before I bought, sure.

I think that this is a bad analogy to hardware, though. Polished steel roads are unreasonable to ask for, but bugless processors are reasonable to ask for.
The no commute part is so powerful man. At times I get bored (I now know 70% of my area in a 5km radius) but god the added bedtime and road / train free life is really a damn luxury.
I have the same gut feeling that there has been a decline in quality, but I'm not sure that video makes the case.

In the previous 10 years (2013-2022) years the songs that clearly fit your description are "Closer" (2016), "Sunflower" (2018), "Stay" (2021). I'd probably say "Old Town Road" (2019) is pretty bad also, with a very boring, repetitive bass track. And "Despacito" (2017) is catchy but has the same cliche beat as a million other songs in the genre.

"Happy" (2013) is a fun song that could be compared to Bobby McFerrin's 1988 hit, "Uptown Funk" (2014) is a 70s throwback, "Hello" (2015) is a vocal fireworks show, "Blinding Lights" (2020) and "As It Was" (2022) are 80s throwbacks.

On the other hand is "Never Gonna Give You Up" (1987) actually a good song? Is "U Can't Touch This" (1990)? Is "Wannabe" (1996)? No, they are fun but none of these are really good songs.

I'm not sure just comparing the most recognizable song of each year gets you very far.

TFA notes that it should be quick to replicate and it's definitely gotten enough attention. If the right lab has the needed materials readily available, I expect we'll start seeing credible people posting excited tweets implying initial confirmation as soon as Friday afternoon/evening (assuming it replicates on the first go). If we don't see anything by the end of next week I'd guess that either it's not replicating or, at minimum, it's more finicky than it first appears.
Room temperature superconductivity does not help with quantum computing. The transmons or atoms or ions need to be cold so that they do not get "flipped", not because of the need for superconductors.
The tactic isn't about any one thing but rather just keeping a distractable and gullible voting bloc from paying attention to any one thing and forming a coherent ideology or reconsidering their faith in a politician for obvious nefarious things. The republicans are MUCH more effective at doing this than democrats, but they have no qualms about massaging how news gets disseminated in order to hush up bad things and emphasize stupid things.
At least KDE (not sure about other DEs but I'd assume most except GNOME) supports EWMH, which lets its widgets control with any compliant window manager. Xmonad has a wiki page on this.[0]

One gotcha is that many full DEs use compositing window managers, which tilers usually don't. You can get around this by running a standalone compositor (such as picom).

Mac Demarco is not a handsome man. Lady Gaga isn't winning any pageants, Adele was mocked for her weight,and then her weight loss, Lizzo's whole thing is self love because she gets harassed for her weight.

There will always be beautiful people produced and controlled for sale, and there will always be the talented, the weird, the outrageous that rise to public conscious - and some from all camps that do not.
I don't buy any of the excuses, honestly. If the software can be that easily fooled by slightly broken white lines, it's not ready for release. That area of 101 simply isn't that difficult to parse (for humans). If it can't deal with that, how can it driven in places where the roads are truly awful? Lots of places in the USA alone with much worse road conditions than anything CalTrans is responsible for.

Also, there's a huge yellow and black chevron block visible in that picture that any human driver paying attention would have seen and easily avoided. Crosshatching is unnecessary if you're paying the least bit of attention to what's in front of you. What was the software's issue here?

It is absolutely a problem with the Tesla software that it wasn't able to parse that area properly. Doesn't necessarily mean the human driver wasn't at fault.
Regardless of its implementation, everything in the app is subject to the rule as long as it's distributed in the App Store. In fact, Apple tried to enforce the same rule on WeChat multiple times but gave up since it practically means giving up the entire China market.
I figured the default assumption was these vendors kept updated with security patches.
