This also comes up regularly and I believe it is completely mistaken: wikipedia does ask for more funds than necessary, which is actually a sane tactic when you can never know what will happen a year later and when you don’t have any other kind of income.

Also, how is it not public good, and how does it enriches someone else’s product? I’m fairly sure the world’d biggest encyclopedia that is freely available to anyone on the Earth can be considered a public good, can’t it?

This disagreement is interesting to me. Do you know of any evidence that could support this part of your assertion?
Well Occam's razor is to rescue. As for now "LK-99 is not superconductor" is the simplest claim consistent with all experimental evidence. That's not awfully specific, but since specifics are not very impactful, people won't rush to clarify it.
If anyone (probably original authors) provide something that contradicts this claim then we'll need to revise it

I’ve had issues with insomnia starting in college. Found out I have a slow metabolism of caffeine (it’s a genetic thing). I now sleep very well, getting 3-5 hours of deep sleep per night on about 7 hours of sleep. Things I’ve done to fix it:

- No caffeine after 12pm. I stopped drinking coffee a few months ago, but I was fine as long as I didn’t have it after 12.

- Exercise with some portion being vigorous HIIT or lifting. Running also helps. It should tire your nervous system out.

- Have a consistent sleep schedule. Don’t oversleep on weekends. I’m up at 6:30am every day, give myself 30 min to wake up. Get some sunlight to flush out the adenosine in your system (do this before you drink coffee to avoid the afternoon crash).

- AC goes to 67’f at night.

- Don’t work or study in bed.

- I bought a nice bed (Purple Premier 4 King).

- Blue light-blocking glasses about 2 hours before bedtime.

- Not being a founder helps a lot, but figuring out stress relievers otherwise.

- No alcohol. I’ve mostly stopped drinking, but this alone was the worst thing for my sleep. If I do drink, earlier is better, and only a few drinks.

- Mouthguard that prevents me from snoring at night. I don’t snore as much when I have a healthy BMI, but when overweight, I snore more.

- Stop working 2 hours before bedtime. Same for gaming. These things are too mentally stimulating.

- The things that stress you out, figure those out and make sure you’re feeling good about progress each day. For founders, this sometimes just won’t go away.

- I’ve tried prescribed sleeping medications, but the one I took didn’t actually improve quality sleep. It just made me feel tired and removed the stress. Some of these drugs are just sledgehammers on the pre-frontal cortex.

- Use a sleep tracker and figure out why you’re not sleeping well. Usually can be tracked to alcohol, large meals close to bedtime, or caffeine.

- I take melatonin at bedtime. I had fatigue that I believed was because of poor sleep since moving to Austin, but realized from a doctor that it was actually just allergies. I take Singulair, made a huge difference in my energy during the day.
> Maybe not outright fraudulent, but definitely scammy

Scams are attempts to defraud. No fraud, no scam. If it feels scammy, that means (or should mean) you sense fraud.

I know this seems pedantic. But drawing clearly that line--between fraud and blind optimism--seems like a good takeaway from this past cycle.

What extraordinary thing did Canonical accomplish by the way

I'm not sure you remember what the Linux landscape looked like when Ubuntu was first released, but it was a pretty huge deal at the time. So much more hardware and software (esp. media playback) worked out of the box than any other distro at the time. USB and wireless networking just worked. The desktop they provided was was really nice and well configured as well with most defaults working the way most people expecting them to. Plus the pretty amazing fact that they would send you an install CD, for free, basically anywhere in the world. Back when downloading 700 MB over the internet was an impossibility for most people, this was a seriously huge deal for getting Linux into the hands of people. You could take that free CD, pop it into almost any computers, just accept all the defaults and be pretty sure to have a working Linux desktop at the end. At the time, that was a huge accomplishment.

We can all have opinions about the choices Canonical has made over the years and what they have become, but let's not pretend that they weren't one of the biggest and most significant drivers of Linux on the desktop back in the day.
Maybe this is a bit of a silly question, but what's the point?

I do think it would be a really fun project. But is there really a practical use for it? Bash is portable but not that portable if you want to care about version compatibility. I understand that it's not always possible to install a different interpreted language like Perl or Python. Maybe the use case is for platforms where you can't install other language interpreters and can't cross-compile a compiled language? It seems like a very specific situation.
I don't understand this area well enough, I think. Doesn't a VPN encrypt the routing information that tells the packet where to ultimately end up? I.e. my ISP can see the traffic going to the VPN, but can't look inside it, and can't see where it goes from there?
BYOD ?
JPEG XL doesn't use the kind of rANS that Microsoft has patented.

JPEG XL decides the codes at encoding time and does context modeling the same way as WebP lossless and Brotli, by deciding which entropy codes to use explicitly.

Microsoft's rANS patent is supposedly centralized around updating rANS codes at decoding time (based on past symbols). This is slightly more efficient for density, but much slower and may negate the speed benefits that rANS brings. For practical implementations JPEG XL/Brotli way is quite a bit better.
I'm assuming you read the article.

Let's recap:

> I launched the prosecraft website in the summer of 2017, and I started showing it off to authors at writers conferences. The response was universally positive, and I incorporated the prosecraft analytic tools into the Shaxpir desktop application [...]

And he goes on mentioning that some authors even reached out to him to get their books added.

Unless you are accusing him of lying or unreasonably overstating the response he got ("universally positive"), for which I really don't see any indication, then a statement like "finding a few writers that like this is trivial" is not a good faith engagement with this topic/conversation.
It's also all coming together: it's about Germany, which a lot of Europeans don't have a positive opinion on (to put it mildly), then it's about East Germany which a lot of West Germans don't have a positive opinion on (to put it mildly), and finally it's also about the EU's / Germany's governing model which most startup-scene-hipsters on HN don't have a positive opinion on (to put it mildly).

There's hardly a topic like this where almost everybody finds something to complain about ;)

Banning automation technology because it could put workers out of business.. isn't that the textbook definition of a luddite? Also, are you saying no creative people are using these technologies? It's not all "enter 1 prompt, get image, call it a day", they are tools that can be and often are part of complex chain. Creatives that don't want to use these tools are probably going to be superseded by creatives who do.

Quickly looking at the research, seems you are right. Like most diseases, it's interplay between genetics and environment.

Social support is less important risk factor, while factors like marital satisfaction and partner's depression are more important. For women, adverse events such as loss of a loved one, husband's loss of job or serious economical issues seem to be important too (Escriba-Aguir et al. 2010).

This is also quite concordant with the fact that PPD is more common in less developed countries, as mentioned in another comment.

Sorry I did not understand that :-).

My point was that it is different: when humans read a book, they don't train a machine learning model. They can't read as many books as a machine, at the same speed, and they can't remember nearly as much as what a machine can.

Humans and computers are fundamentally different, and it matters. You can't conclude that because it works for one, it will fork for the other.
There are clearly many people who are physically capable of doing some sort of work despite their medical conditions, but have found a sympathetic doctor who declared them to be fully disabled.

Do you visit Youtube and Twitch other streaming services often? Focus on video decoding.

Do you visit sites that heavily utilize graphics[1]? Focus on 3D acceleration.

There are reasons this data can be useful, especially since Intel wants to unfuck their otherwise imperially fucked drivers. Websites aren't just plain text with window dressing anymore, they are entire programs unto themselves.

You are supposed to bring your device. If you don’t have one you can get a loan to buy one and pay it off by paycheque deductions.

Once hired, you do get a “laptop refresh bonus” every 3 years, the problem being that it’s a bonus and so is subject to income tax, plus in some jurisdictions you can’t tax deduct computer purchases unless you are self-employed, so the purchasing power of the laptop refresh allowance is basically halved; i always ended up having to top up from my own money to get a decent laptop every 3 years.

Ooh yes how clever
The connection to the update server must be secured, but it might not be using SSL the way connections to websites normally do. Perhaps the local install has not been updated in a while, so neither have the details about the server certificate. Then the local install might not accept the update server's certificate because the expected details don't match.

I have occasionally seen this type of construction when doing integrations.
Softbank vision fund was poorly designed.
At a 100 billion size, the fund must deploy a ton of money to create venture returns. Assuming a 10 year maturity and 5 years of investment period, they would need to deploy 20 billion per year into companies just to run the fund. If you invest in 100 companies then check-size must be a few hundred million to billions of dollars.

Implications:
They then pushed companies to expand way faster then was appropriate. This meant that companies made decisions that was not justified by the profitability, just because they needed to spend the money.

An example would be when WeWork started offices in most expensive areas of manhattan and served them to customers at effective discount, hoping that the market would shift. Originally, WeWork took office space in distressed areas and made them viable for companies to use at a markup--creating value and being profitable overall. Under the pressure, they made stupid unprofitable decisions. Under this environment, even solid companies are forced to spray and pray money.

Generally speaking, money brings greater velocity but founders and investors should understand if the market will change at the same rate. For WeWork, commercial office space has leases with lengths of 5-10 years. Bottomline, there is not enough "liquidity" to absorb that quick an expansion.
Your question implies I've firsthand experience working with the stuff but that isn't so. It's true I've worked in the nuclear industry and keeping the stuff safe and out of harm's way was in my job description but I wasn't alone, many hundreds of us were (and are) involved in doing so. Luckily there were people between me and those who worked with the stuff and I'm very happy about that.

Still, you're right it's a silvery gray metal much like many others that oxidizes quickly in air to give it that dullish look. If you were to pick it up you'd notice it's very dense. It's marginally heavier than gold by about 0.5g/cc^3 at about 19.8g/cc^3. That it looks so boring could easily generate complacency when handling it.

Edit: the 238 isotope is much more radioactive than 239, so much so it'd be hot to touch. But you'd be mad to do so.

>Installing the J-CIA64 requires delicate handling and taking the proper precautions to prevent antistatic discharges.

Also, at least in my non-expert opinion, in most cases you should consider installing a socket whenever replacing chips. You have to solder something new on anyways, may as well make it something that you won't have to redo any time soon. I wound up doing this for every chip I replaced in my own C64, which made debugging it a lot easier. (It was borked when I got it. I'm too young to have owned one new.)

practical test of how much the battery degrades from fast charging.
a batch of six identical batteries for Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus (EB-BG985ABY) with a stated capacity of 4370 mAh and an initial actual capacity of about 3900 mAh is tested.
the batteries were 100 times subjected to a resource test of full charge and discharge. This is approximately 100 days of phone usage.
fast charging at 5 amps led to a noticeable decrease in capacity. Over three months of fast charging, the batteries lost an average of 1.6% of their initial capacity.

read sapiens and other books by yuval noah harari, and later there were articles that many things he claimed in his book were incorrect, or later proven to be incorrect. always blows my mind that we still just have theories of how humans spread across the world, and how the languages and culture developed. if the human development and migrations are clarified definitely, many of the regional conflicts will end.

Aside from gameplay that has not aged well, Jet Force Gemini is a hidden gem in the Rare catalog.

I’m not sure about PyTorch (last I checked, no, but it’s been a while), but Jax offers rudimentary runtime checking support for matrix shapes via bear / type guard.

Ultimately, though, I don’t think Python will be nearly as good at that as Julia, whose type system can easily ensure matrix sizes make sense.

This isn't a bug, it's absolutely expected behaviour. The author has just dressed it up in a blog post to make something of it, but anyone who has written a python library will know that code that isn't in a function (including function default arguments) gets evaluated on import. You don't need a C-extension to do that part. Then he messes with some internals, which isn't surprising either since python's philosophy is very much "internals are available - caveat emptor but if you want to mess with them go nuts".

Very funny mix of GenZ and postmodern thinking - from GenZ it is like "I want to signal to everyone (myself including) my connection to history without actually investing into, by buying an insta-history new thing" and from postmodern -"things are what I decide to call them, if I call apple a banana it is a banana" now.
