But the world is an eyesore. The map represents the territory. Google maps might be becoming ugly, but it's still phenomenally useful.
50 years of Youtube is quite amazing. If I watch old video I can feel how I felt that day. That is why I dumped so much "unedited" shit to Youtube.

$1k? Wow, you got shafted.
I don't know if I ever mentioned "standard" layouts? Anyway, I just looked it up, and apparently keyboard designers tend to replace right meta (the right windows key in this diagram) with Fn, and this layout still has one, so it's actually not missing a spot like I thought...
But are you human or not ? Because rights and laws that apply to humans do not necessarily apply to objects and vice versa. I don't expect a building permit from you when you stand on a piece of land. LLM's aren't legal entities in the formal sense, are they ?
The problem with eurkey is the high enter key on German keyboards, it's kinda made for US keyboards. (I usually map caps-aous to äöüß and that's good enough for me).

My problem is a proper layout on a German keyboard, not some weird Umlauts on a US one :P
You’re right. I love emacs, though I must admit it’s quite a barrier to entry
Untraining may be difficult, but will they only ever improve the current model? Never want to change its dimensions or parameters (I'm not too into the jargon) and train the fresh and improved version?

I'm not sure this first reasonably working chat bot is going to be the last version we ever need, and afaik this sort of thing is as hard to port as it is to untrain, the problem in both cases being that it's a big black box
First thing I thought of was food commercials, where the goal isn't to replicate the actual looks of the food on offer, but rather what people would like the food to look like. [1] Nice video though, I'm only used to shops having poor plastic imitations or sun-bleeched photos in their windows, if anything at all.

Both sides of this argument are bad. The choices on the menu are "Facebook chooses what links (published by users) to censor" or "the legislature
chooses what links (published by users) to censor".

The dispute is just which authority decides what you get to share with your friends and contacts - not that you should be allowed to do so freely.
Show HN: Scrollable – The Ultimate Mobile-Optimized Reading App
We all want to read more, but it's so much easier to default to using your phone instead — but what if they could be one & the same?

Scrollable was designed to solve that exact problem — the beautiful animations & buttery interface will help you conquer your reading goals faster than ever.
Open Source often takes the shortest available route from A to B, to an MVP which solves a problem for a technical user who doesn't mind duct tape and configuration.

The fit and finish required for a non-technical user is frequently neglected, because that's not a itch that an OS contributor needs to scratch. Design is especially neglected.

And then there's the long term. OS solutions are not immune to bit rot, forked projects, people getting bored and another solution gaining traction. It can start requiring a higher and higher technical bar (e.g. compiling from source, or applying patches to library dependencies) to keep something old running, when the new stuff requires functionality only available in more recent hardware.
Amsterdam wasn’t built around bikes— and least, it wasn’t until the “stop murdering our children” political campaign of the 1970s.

They used to have highways through the city and they destroyed them and prioritized biking and pedestrians. Showing: it can be done.
Hmm, I use firefox with ublock just fine
Also, everybody by default shares their location when using it, no? So they get live feedback on traffic relatively for free (till some lawsuit will ban it). I can see it often changing and recalculating as I drive, albeit with some lag.

I don't think you can estimate overall worth of Maps to Google directly and easily. Its still #1 driving solution I use, its not perfect in dense traffic in cities but otherwise OK and for free, plus their estimates are pretty accurate.
The point that the OP was speaking to (refuting) is that men expect favors for free. OP's point is that they are not free at all and earned by subjecting oneself to risk and absorbing the adverse consequences of taking that risk.
Long before we had invented the concept of countries, there were city states fulfilling a similar role, and those were preceded by various sorts of tribal constructs which have existed since forever.

Humanity has always gravitated towards building societies centred around the concepts that modern-day nation states also embody. Our natural drive to band together and our tendency to be creating new fake problems all the time is certainly an interesting pairing at times.
Tooling is quite good on comercial space, now on free beer side, it is another matter.
ChatGPT correctly identified my wife's condition in a couple seconds when a dozen doctors failed to for over a decade. Less than half a percent of people suffer from this condition, but enough do that doctors should have thought about it. All I did was write down the symptoms and poof. It was actually really frustrating that doctors were mystified but this tech gave us a new (and ultimately correct) path of inquiry. I felt robbed of all that time. My trust in doctors is at an all-time low, but her medication is effective, so something in the system works.
Yes - exactly. Big old sticker on every device saying it, that sort of thing.

But they have also encountered IP theft and Chinese nationals assaulting local and foreign nationals in countries they are lucky and fortunate to have the right to study in, over protests: https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/australasia/article/3019888/h...

Now I hate that I have to say this (because it should be a given), but _obviously_ this does not apply across the board, but when people experience shocking behaviour like this you can see why they might hold grudges or biases, even when that's wrong to do.

That aside, China & the US (of which are are a lot of Americans on this site) seem to have held a grudge for quite a long time now, on both sides. Which is a shame, because we're all human at the end of the day and especially science should recognise that stupid tribal human concepts like nationalities and borders are meaningless to the big picture.
Try https://cycle.travel/ for cycle routes. I find it much better at finding quieter routes.
It's a shame we'll never truly know how many people have lost their lives due to seatbelt laws being overly narrow in how they define the requirements of seatbelts. If not for these foolish laws we'd likely have the option to buy 5-point harnesses such as the ones race car drivers enjoy -- but instead we're stuck with the same rudimentary excuses for a safety device that was being used on roads in the 60s.
But can they replicate the experiment on a cold rainy night in Stoke?
If I’m understanding right, this has happened over the weekend, which suggests there are probably fewer people to take care of a request. It may all be resolved by the end of Monday.
I do that too (in Germany), and I just… ask them if I may enter their opening hours into OSM. I've never been refused. Sometimes an employee takes an interest and then I take the chance to explain a bit. It's a win-win for both sides, after all—the map users and the shop owners.
Have you tried Waze? I find that better at detecting jams and routing around them.
High Tech Aliens Will Need Goldilocks Levels of Atmospheric Oxygen
Alternatively, maybe researchers should be encouraged to publish all kinds of results and not just "novel" work. Successes, failures, insights, etc. This idea of how we evaluate researchers is often silly. We're asking people to push the bounds of knowledge and we don't know what will come from it or how long it will take. But we are hyper focused on this short term evaluation.

> The square pins you see in Google Maps are ad pins. They represent a place of business (a hotel, spa, etc.) that is paying Google to make sure it’s displayed on the map, despite the business’s irrelevance to me.

That summarizes what Google is quite well.
As a Canadian, I applaud this. And I hope the government sticks to its guns. This is not just about "big Canadian media", it affects a lot of small outlets who draw from the journalism fund as well.

It was stupid to allow media business models to depend on monopolistic search engines and social media platforms in the first place. This stuff is like hard drugs. For everybody.

And getting off the smack is painful.

The Canadians who care about this are going to find other ways to get their news. And the ones who don't weren't part of the real readership in the first place.
I personally hate this from Synology. While their apps are meaningful structured and look good, it is just a natural mismatch to put sub windows into a parent window. Anyone remembering multi sub window apps in the Microsoft office suite in the 90s/00s. Was also horrible without a browser/html involved.

This is definitely a taste thing
You can type a sentence and Maps will start A-B Routing. Its a thidden shortcut that's been working for ages and is still supported gladly:

Would blocking these bots from your site give bots that don't honor this a competitive advantage? Does that indirectly result in promoting not honoring robots.txt?

I'm considering whether to add it to my own site, but given that the future is already here and, while it's shitty to steal and regurgitate content without attribution at minimum, it's also not a big deal for my hobby site. It may serve my interests better to not include crawling restrictions for ClosedAI specifically
The key mapping still works. I prefer the UK layout, e.g. (which has the vertical return key instead of the horizontal enter key in US layouts). If I connect a UK keyboard and use US mapping it still works.

Generally, though, I always try to get any English layout, instead of a European one and map as I desire. For macs that would be English International.
> goal of annexing Taiwan, killing the Taiwanese intellectuals, suppressing the natives and looting the industrial/IP assets

That's not China goal, which should be pretty obvious to anyone who took five minutes to think and read a couple of article about China historic strategy regarding Taiwan: economic integration and sponsoring the Taiwanese business elites. To be fair, the idea of annexing with Taiwan seems to have a lot more to do with the internal politics of mainland China than actually Taiwan nowadays.

For all my own distate of the CCP, it's a bit sad that we have reached a point where having an intelligent discussion regarding foreign countries with an average American has become next to impossible.
Best comment here. Never thought about if from that angle, considering my hate for window in window.
Only partly; James Coonen and Harold Stone are also responsible. The resulting K-C-S draft eventually became IEEE 754 [1] and contained the Gradual Underflow from the very beginning. That said, the eventual decision was collaborative---DEC, a major opponent, even failed to convince its own commissioner.

I thought this was good :)

I stood on the porch tonight— which way do we

face to talk to the dead? I thought of the

new rose, and went out over the

grey lawn— things really

have no color at night. I descended

the stone steps, as if to the place where one

speaks to the dead. The rose stood

half-uncurled, glowing white in the

black air. Later I remembered

your birthday. You would have been ninety and getting

roses from me. Are the dead there

if we do not speak to them? When I came to see you

you were always sitting quietly in the chair,

not knitting, because of the arthritis,

not reading, because of the blindness,

just sitting. I never knew how you

did it or what you were thinking. Now I

sometimes sit on the porch, waiting,

trying to feel you there like the color of the

flowers in the dark
The main issue is that Clojure compiler doesn't really optimize lazy sequences right ? Most language compilers do this. Rust lazy iterators for example many times exhibit faster performance than for-lops.

And clojure also doesn't give an error/warning when lazy sequences aren't finalized.
The difference is Dijkstra’s interactions with the other people who worked with were limited to one day per week. He had the other days for sustained focus.

I think Newport is more interested in how he worked than where.
> "What about indirect revenue?" you ask? Google consciously does not want to estimate that, because such a document could be discovered in patent litigation.

Could you tell us more how you came to this conclusion? Did someone high up ever literally tell you "we're not doing that because it could show up in discovery"? And if not, why have you concluded that?

If you're an artist you are more interested in beauty than money (and I don't mean necessarily physical appearance)

This simply isn't true. Am an artist, and I care a lot about having food and a roof over my head.

And in general, artists of yesteryear were either already rich - rich enough so they had the leisure time to make art and the money to afford the supplies - or you were painting because a person with more riches than you have paid you to paint (and you probably weren't poor to begin with).

Folks weren't really painting monarchs out of love for the monarch, they did it because monarchs and other rich folks paid, sometimes handsomely. And you were paid to paint them in the best light possible while still knowing it was them: The Habsburgs had portraits that were likely much prettier than their actual likenesses - comparable to photoshop and other touch-ups today.

And just to drive this in: Painters of yesteryear often had ready-made backgrounds and bodies waiting for a head/likeness and other details. Nothing says "I care more about beauty than money" like prefab portrait blanks, I guess.
Not only is this cool to watch and I'm crossing my fingers that their claims are legit, but it is always so cool to see those moments in science where the whole world comes together to work on something. Is this excitement and teamwork what it really means to be human?
Is it really being reset every few minutes? Because those open text editors seem quite... "interesting".
>Google Analytics

>No surprises here. I used to use Plausible, but that costs money and you can't beat free. Monthly cost: $0.

Thanks hard pass. I checked and Plausible starts from 9 Euros a month. This is hardly what I'd consider advertising material. But likely I'm just not their target audience.

There's also no consent banner, so this doesn't seem GDPR compliant

Edit: I must have phrased this in a confusing way. They are NOT using Plausible but GA. I'm well aware cookie-less analytics does not require consent
StrategrDesktop still has three unticked boxes for platform support, though :-)
I actually came here to delete my comment, because it occurred to me that it might sound mean-spirited. But it seems I am too late. I found the mistake amusing, that's all.
It's because we all know it is a con to just get money from universities and governments. We had a long time without this system and we perverted it from its original intent. 3-4 people reading a paper are incapable of proving something is valid (the inverse is true, but also remember there's 3 options: true, false, indeterminate). It's even more silly that we think we can rank them (i.e. top tier venues). Rejection rate isn't a ranking, and it is silly to think it could be (way too easy to hack). We just go with the momentum and because that's what the admins require of us. Otherwise, let's me honest, we're all communicating our work outside the structure of journals and conferences (at least they offer meetups). It's very hard for me to justify their existence if we're being honest. And honestly, I don't see how abandoning these systems wouldn't just save us time and money. Like god, the number of hours I spend reworking things which got no actionable feedback from the previous round, is insane. It is just too easy to get non-actionable rejections and that just wastes everybody's time and money, and frankly holds back science.
Well, first world problems for sure. Its free app, you have some extremely specific use-case (even though I have no doubt 100 HN users can post in response that they do exactly same thing, its still fringe overall) and the app doesn't suit that narrow situation that well...

Not surprised, we can come up with probably thousands of similar scenarios when some popular free tool ain't the smoothest to use for 'when I do this but want also that and while doing something else that isn't so well integrated into the flow something happens/doesn't happen but should' situation.

Maybe take a laptop and a mouse next time, 100x more efficient to use. Or use it in browser in tabs, so you can have 20 different locations/views and switch between them.
Because this is not actually useful in any way whatsoever. The point of citrix is accessing legacy desktop applications running on some server via a light desktop client. The whole point of that is not having to replace those legacy applications and not having to install them locally. The business is allowing companies that have ancient stuff being able to continue to use that. It's worth a lot of billions because lots of companies just have decades worth of software that their businesses depend on.

You are right that citrix should be able to dumb down what they have to basically a glorified web application that accesses their servers. Which apparently is a thing for obvious reasons (as in they thought of that too, many years ago).
The article itself includes a link [0] to yet another gTLD that I guess Google owns now, .gle . I have never seen this gTLD used before and had to double-check that the site I was looking at was indeed on the legit blog.google domain.

A while back there used to be advice from security folks to use a consistent set of domains for all communication from your company, so that when attackers/scammers/spammers try to impersonate your domains, users are more suspicious. A partial list of Google's gTLDs from https://ntldstats.com/registry/Charleston-Road-Registry-Inc :

.goog
.google
.gle
.youtube
.gmail
.android
.chrome
.gbiz

I don't know how many of these are being used to host user-facing sites like [0], but they also have used at least g.co as a URL shortening service.

When you scatter-shot official communication like this, it trains users to believe that your comms can and will come from just about anywhere.

How do floating point indexes work.

Surely index[0.5] should reference the second block, not the third?
You've got it backwards. Russia started this war by first conquering a piece of territory by conquest 9 years ago and then continuing now. And it's actually Putin who used this war and conflict with the west to change the regime in Russia from quasi-democracy to dictatorship already: he used it to bolster public support 9 years ago, rode that wave to elections, re-wrote constitution allowing him to stay in power and used the war to completely crush any resemblance of internal opposition.
Mind that they don't only take pictures. The cars are full of sensors. From GPS to verify coordinates of roads, over Wifi to scan SSIDs for locating devices without GPS to LIDAR to scan 3D features and probably a lot more ...
A system have capacity to do something, in that capacity it have normal operation.
Operating above the normal operation but in the capacity is effort.

If any attempt at achieving a goal is in the normal operation of a system, then its effortless.
I'm curious if that's US vs Europe thing?

For me in Europe, Google Maps coverage quality can be best described by this personal anecdote.
I used to live in Nürnberg, which is in top 10 German cities by population, and where are some major and well-recognized international companies are headquartered.
Nürnberg has a subway system (U-Bahn) since 1980s, and it's significant enough: a few dozen stations over three lines (one is fully driverless, btw).

Google didn't have any representation of U-Banh in Nürnberg till at least 2017.
I don't mean "wasn't supporting it in navigation and routing", I mean " stations weren't even marked and labelled on the general overview maps.
And it's not like they didn't have the into: there was a widely-used user layer which added at least station labels.
They just simply didn't care enough, and had other priorities.

In the meanwhile, the level of detail on OSM covered details as minor as every mailbox not only in Nürnberg, but in every small town around Frankonia (I used to participate in postcrossing and used this a lot from random places).
> With all this energy it's really hard to keep up with all new ideas, implementations, frameworks and services.

The majority of them are mostly irrelevant. You just need to figure out which.
hopefully this will get us closer to a orgmode-ish confluence that can run any language, with CI docs test checks, and something more human than jiraql or whatever
I'm not specific to China. I figure that for any country X to profitably annex country Y, they have to both annex Y and suppress opposition (kill most of the pre-annexation establishment, control the natives and loot industrial output).

If any country X annexes any country Y without doing the other stuff, the annexation won't be profitable.
She can write, I'll give her that, but contentwise it is exactly the unreflected pseudo-intellectual crap you'd expect from a "journalist". How can you be so naive to sign up to become a propaganda foot soldier for the culture industry and then expect anything else but soulless stab-in-the-back ass-kissing work? This sense of comradery she is missing is the glimmer of class consciousness. It's strangely real, it's people who know they are at the bottom and they're in it together. The corporate world on the other hand is fake. It consists of bosses who want to be treated like a friend or a royal when it suits them. It consists of colleagues who will throw you under the bus for that promotion and you will do the same, but you both act like you don't know it will happen. It is that subconscious shame of betrayal from people like the author, who romance about the precariat on their personal blog and then go back to work to beat down on their former friends with the proverbial cultural stick in service of the man.
