GPT2 (and 1 to a lesser extent IIRC) used to spit out repeating sentences much like this.
Notes on Self-Hosted Transactional Email
Firefox fan here and did not intend to use Brave anyway. This article still managed to not convince me.
That's because there are more people who drive cars than people who handle plutonium. A more sensible statistics would be the number of death per hour of usage (which might still be in favor of handling plutonium).
A huge problem is that YT allows users to enter their own hashtags, which turns into a complete cluster of spammy tag use, They also allow users to upload their own thumbnails, instead of only using actual thumbnails from the videos, which also feeds bias.

There are very clear solutions to problems on the platform, they just choose the wrong direction so much because it feed their constant need to increase YOY profit, and it's annoying users off the platform.

An empty home page is not a good idea at all, and it forces users into opting into tracking, which is not kosher, and likely going to become a legal issue if anyone authoritative is doing their job any more.
Considering how dramatic a difference to UX just 3 chrome addons [1] make, it motivates me to find any addons I'm missing. Are there others that dramatically enhance day to day web use?

[1] uBlock Origin, Video Speed Controller, YouTube SponsorBlock.
And ban the ability for anyone else to use a non-Google browser thanks to attestation. Chrome is bad, and using it is helping Google kill the web.
Brave in "high" shield settings blocks ads and nasty practices on phones. Firefoxmobile does now too via extensions, but it's also sadly noticeably slower for most sites I care about.
Or post it as a job to use AI to automate packaging.
"Hiiiiii it's your favorite user Carp! We're currently on Login Required mode for one of a few reasons:"

Oh dear.
Logging in shows a dashboard asking you to implement it on your site.

That's not what I expect from a "demo" of a captcha.

A recommendation would be; please use mcaptcha on the mcaptcha account sign up page at the least. It'd then provide an instant user UX demo which is one of the major pains of captchas.

Or at least provide a link to the widget[1] for UX demo, where inspecting networks calls also shows the api calls in action

Interesting. I never even considered the instance stability to be a risk when using ARM CPUs on Amazon. Anybody else can share their experience?
"dude" is now also used as a unisex term [1]

Do you mind sharing an example? This sounds really interesting
This seems to be login-walled with no archive available. Payment isn't required at least, but I don't think many people will read it as a result.
>toxic fibre glass, epoxy and plastic

I’m guessing there are no environmentally friendly alternatives to these materials than can be easily swapped in factories without much hassle.
> This is an old European disease.

Permanent high taxes are better than unpredictable windfall taxes.

It's very difficult to budget for the future when you don't know how much tax you're paying by a binary order of magnitude. When industry specific, it can create perverse incentives for outsourcing.
> Almost all are managed successfully by the private sector.

Yes, because of a mix government regulations forcing them to not cut too many corners for the sake of saving expenses, and people like the author of the article pushing back against higher-ups who try to do so anyway.

Let's not pretend that workers didn't die needlessly in factory fires a century ago because the factory owners locked the doors.
If you were to stop using things because of the political views of the people who are involved in their creation, you would end up having to give up most everything.
> To put this in perspective 22.54 per 100,000 would die due to motor vehicles in the same year that Slotin died.

This is an incorrect perspective. If the same number of people as those driving cars had been playing with enriched uranium or plutonium, the casualties would have been much worse.
It isn't a silver bullet.
Yeah but they have a vested interest in a low drama browser and high performance internet; Firefox and now Brave have had drama.

Chrome's criticisms mainly take place in development spaces; its push for technologies that are only supported by itself, and now its attempts at curtailing adblockers (because Google's primary revenue model is ads).
You've got to be kidding. The virus is now endemic worldwide and will never go away. I'm certainly not willing to wear a mask for the rest of my life regardless of the consequences. Time to get over the irrational germaphobia.
Possibly the B.1.617.2/Delta variant? I think the timing would match up for that.
it's crypto aspect is a scam too.
firefox developer edition, to be more exact.

also faster than chrome on my M1 nowadays and ... no google. one more user against blink-monopoly in rendering the internet here.
you win. you win with this post. i can see the cop dropping his hot dog and getting mustard on his uniform. "there's been this creepy car outside my house for days, could someone come check it out?"
Your knowledge of hostory clearly is limited.
> Yes, except that Meta is being legally compelled to provide the services regardless of whether the user consents.

I mean, obviously they are compelled to do that and this is completely fine.

As users people should not be blackmailed into accepting psychological manipulation in their lives, just to be allowed to use a service. If Facebook's model for profit is so bad, that they cannot profit without manipulation, then perhaps their whole business is a shady one and they should start asking for membership fees. I could not care less, whether they need their pesky ads or the data from people viewing and interacting with them. Without consent they don't belong on the users' screens, end of story. If they cannot do business ethically, I wish they would not do business at all.

> I would be fine about laws requiring facebook to be up front and clear about how they are using this data, but mandating free rider status seems a step too far.

It has nothing to do with "free riding". They offer a service and that service should be worth its weight to the users. If it isn't, then apparently it is not a good enough service. To get back the money through the back door, by utilizing manipulation of users and spreading hate-speech for engagement metrics is not OK.
For the old folks like me that started on linux installing Mandravia CDROMs from magazines back in 2000, this looks retrospectively so odd, unreal and fantastic
You're comparing a small number of objects handled by expert technicians in highly controlled environments against a large number of objects driven by average people in much more chaotic environments.
Have you actually listened to the podcast?

It's really a very good exploration of the issues with plenty of context. Phelps gives both Rowling and her detractors the space to put their point of view across.

If you haven't already, it's well worth listening to, much more so than Wynn's one-sided commentary on anything.
It wasn't designed.
Roll 12 6-sided dice in turn, record the sequence. What are the chances that specific sequence should be rolled? Less than 1 in 2 billion. Anything remarkable about that? Clearly not.

If your counterpart thinks otherwise, well…
Did you try this? This won't work.

What you did will make inputting a 4 yield a 5, but it won't change the behaviour of outputting a 4. (And it will only turn an input 4 into a 5 if your interpreter checks for words before checking for numbers which is not universally the case).
> Java didn’t have any shared library concerns

It definitely does have such concerns, but the community has just accepted that the JDK will never help with this and so every JAR that uses a native library hacks around the lack of proper support in its own unique and special way. Usually some project-specific ad-hoc code that extracts native libraries into some directory in the user's home directory.

Is the "cache" versioned properly? Maybe.

Can you control where it is? Maybe.

Code signing? Probably not.

Can you ship only native code for the machines you actually care about? Maybe.

Does it work when you run as a dedicated server UNIX users that doesn't have a home directory? Nope.

Hydraulic Conveyor (https://hydraulic.dev/ - disclosure, my company) fixes a lot of these problems automatically. But it's not like there are no problems to fix, and of course writing a library that uses native code is still a big pain. It's a major blind spot of the JDK unfortunately, and the community has never risen to the challenge of fixing it.
Polio is much more dangerous for small children, though. This could make quite a difference.
If by recyclable you meant buying old racks of datacenter servers to reuse elsewhere, even if possible, it's not very practical. Servers are super noisy and may have exotic power requirements.
Strongly disagree. They are good at fixing a lot of things but my list of things that medicine is not good at treating are auto-immune issues, post-viral conditions and long-term pain from a variety of sources.

Since when live AMA session and twitch demo an requirement for science?

No scientist can do real work if they are constantly distracted by random internet folk like this.
Entirely unsurprising - we know Amazon uses their own ARM CPUs internally for large swathes of AWS infra and services.

None of the other cloud providers are using ARM at this scale yet. They’re using Ampere chips, whereas Amazon invested in building their own - it tells you the level of commitment Amazon have here.

My employer is moving workloads to ARM on AWS as it’s much better for price/perf, and our shiny new M1/M2 Macs run the same binaries. We’ve had very little issue doing the shift - Amazon Linux and Debian both support ARM well.

Must be really putting a dent in Intel’s data centre sales though.
Define a function that measures the error between the position of the drawn element and the new position required by the drag action. Compute partial derivatives of this function with respect to the data variables. Minimize this function to find the new data values. Re-render everything with the new optimal data values.

It's a bit confusing, because typically what's called 'data' here would be called "parameters" in mathematical optimization, or "weights" in statistics / machine learning. Also ML would call "data" what's fixed, so here the position of the dragged element.
The same reason even people who should know better implement all sorts of insane things in Excel. It's the tool available to them that they can find tutorials on using. With GPT it even seems like it's doing work for you.

Obviously anyone who knows anything about control systems immediately has five or six reasons why this is terrible, but in the meantime My First GPT is running lawn mowers from the sketchy discount shop because none of those people even knew how to ask.
To celebrate OSM's birthday this week's guest on the Geomob podcast was long-time contributor Andy Allan (amongst much else, maker of the OpenCycleMap rendering of OSM) to reminisce about the early days.

Subscriptions are indeed being used to trigger class-ism covertly by companies more than ever, but it's a terrible form of discrimination because many can use bootleg credit cards, or even decide to cancel subscriptions/// Those that cancel or don't pay suffer unknowingly on basic service now pelted with even more ads to subscribe, and possibly even their uploads are held back when they are not a premium user. This needs to be killed as a practice, otherwise the future is going to be pay to breathe everywhere... Dreadful.
For iOS I couldn't find anything better than it. Firefox addons on iOS don't work because of apple's webkit requirements.

May be someone can recommend something with uBlock working?
For the former two, breakages have replacements and are a vestige noone used for a long time. Besides that, compilers have switches to treat throw() as noexcept.

As for the latter, those breakages are relatively rare.
it's less "keep rolling dice" and more getting a sense of what will work and what won't. The thing I liken it most to is watching a colleague try to google something for 30 mins and then you find it immediately first try because you know how to get google to do what you want.

Similarly, it happens extremely often that when I watch someone else using chatgpt I see what they're trying to do, and know I would have gone about it another way that would have worked.
I hadn't heard of that filter they used before - https://jaantollander.com/post/noise-filtering-using-one-eur...
Better than a simple lowpass box filter/average and a simpler than a kalman.
Well physicists try to make models that explain everything, so once you do get to the end you have the law. In fundamental physics we haven't gotten there but there's probably examples in other areas where we basically don't think it's gonna change.

In finance nobody thinks they have anything approaching a law, just a regularity that somewhat predicts some phenomenon well enough to make some bucks. There's no suggestion that all the effects are captured.
It might be manipulated from the context. But in general I am surprised that people are now surprised when chat gpt does not make sense.
The fact that it appears to make sense in most situations should be the surprising part.
Yes but that also includes iGPUs not just Arc gpus.
Insomnia.. Oh yeah.. People need to realize that humans itself create bad environment for sleep. Loud cities, loud neighbors, stressfull jobs.

And therefore, as a whole, the answer to that is: NO.
as someone who is late to this party, can you tell me how you are using it? In an IDE? what sort of way are you using it to learn rather than just give answers? thx.

It looks like amount wise they got lucky. I wonder how they were transported for that photograph. And whether or not the person that made it knew how far away from something really bad they were. That gives me the creeps.
I guess the thing is it's not fun either. I like games like Half-life 2, on easy mode. It's fun and a challenge, but doesn't become annoying such that I can't enjoy the story.
Now worries. OSM have open data. Just mirror PBF files. Once something bad happen to OSM itself, you can easly respawn new instance. All building blocks are open source.
The resources to send everybody to therapy simply don’t exist. There aren’t enough therapists, nor money to pay them, for what you are suggesting. People aren’t taking the easy way out, they are taking the only path available.

I'm concerned about Firefox's RAM usage. See this set of benchmarks:

https://www.androidauthority.com/brave-vs-firefox-3314241/

I thought that perhaps with uBlock Origin Firefox could use less RAM, but searching on that only found results were uBlock Origin sometimes used huge amounts of memory (hopefully fixed by now).
What is your estimate for what percentage of any population is going to be able to function well in society?

There are a huge number of people who due to short and long term conditions and disabilities need society to support them to some degree or another. This is the human condition and I think society as a whole hasn't ever grasped that.
Linux distros often do things to force packages to declare all their dependencies: Nix and Guix use unique prefixes and sandboxed builds, openSUSE builds all their packages in blank slate VMs that only install what is declared, standard Fedora tools for running builds in minimal chroot environments, etc.

I'm not aware of any language ecosystem package managers taking similar measures to ensure that dependency declarations in their packages are complete.
Because obviously there's no middle ground between 0 and 20min…

If your user need to wait for 1s, then it will probably not affect traffic top much (especially if you do it concurrently to loading your bloated webpage that already take a few seconds to load), but you've effectively lowered your spammer's throughput to 1qps (if you're using a memory-hard PoW scheme using Argon-2 or equivalent, the attacker cannot really speed things up by using a beeffier machine, by design of the cryptographic protocol)
In an interview with TechRadar Pro, Tom Okman, the co-founder of both Tesonet and Nord Security, answered some questions regarding the relationship between Tesonet, NordVPN, and the plethora of associated online services the companies offer.

The founder of the guilty party is also the founder of the company behind NordVPN. From the article it also seems like the operational practices are similar. Additionally, it is stated by the CEO of the guilty party that operational activities will resume as normal since the suit is only for damages. Assuming that NordVPN operates in a similar way, then a residential proxy service is still on the menu.
Turning Ultrasound Scans into Realistic Baby Photos
Yes, I understand what is happening here with interactivity. Like I said I don't follow why I want some implicit generation of an interactivity scene graph (i.e. what points are connected or move relative to other points) when I can just be explicit about the scene graph interactivity with other similar libraries.
Maybe one would prefer to enrich those with limited resources like students and low-income people, without economically enriching a bunch of elites encroaching some non-profit organizations.
No. You fix zero problems.

>But you fix some, for example 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3 in base 10 floats.

And you get the exact same amount of NEW problems. You are just shifting around where they are.

0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3 also makes a lot of sense, if you have tiniest knowledge about floats.
Having two single factors is obviously more secure than one, and three, ten, fifty, all the better. That's why the name was changed from 2FA to MFA.
The article strikes me as strongly ad-hominem. The individual attacked exercised his democratic right (small-scale financial support of a political cause) as a private person, and he is proclaimed evil for that because the OP politically disagrees.

I'm a bit shocked that this article even made it to HN's front page.

(However, I do appreciate the technical and business model explanations later in the article about Brave.)
If you disagree with the statement you should simply state the reasons why. There is no need to make inflammatory statements.
Someone still has to write those replacements, and no, not all compilers have such switches.

Besides that was only a quick set of examples, if I would bother going through my ISO copies, there would be a couple more to list.
Moment explosion tears through Johannesburg street [video]
Johannesburg (and South Africa in general) has some increasingly failing infrastructure. This manifests in sometimes daily power interruptions ("load shedding"), which also cuts water supply at the same time.

Most recently the linked story has piled on another issue: explosions from underground, probably linked to gas line maintenance. A followup story[0] has a little more information, but I thought the main link's brevity might be more digestible.

Sessions IDs _are_ personal data, it's not even ambiguous if you read the definition in GDPR (article 4(1)). You even found it on the commission's website, it should give you a clear answer.

About cookies, the relevant law is ePrivacy 2002/58/CE, article 5(3), which says you don't need to ask for consent for “strictly necessary” cookies. In practice, this means session ID cookies, user preferences, etc. This also applies to local storage or any other way to store and retrieve data on a user's device.

The issue is not that the law is unclear, it's people that can't help but speculate on its content even though they never read it. Google is full of links to this, and HN is bad in this regard. And to be honest, this is not exclusive to GDPR.

I've found Stackexchange law and /r/gdpr to be okay-ish. Otherwise, there is a guide on the commission's website, there is gdpr.eu, there is the commented version of GDPR on gdprhub.eu:

Although I agree that a different name for this type of depression could be useful in a medical context (as the root cause of post-partum depression is likely to be different in the father vs the mother, so the distinction does matter), "post-partum" as a modifier can clearly apply regardless of who is going through the "partum". e.g, the father is experiencing depression after the birth of his child, therefore "post-partum depression".

Edit: and as others have pointed out, a separate name is probably not needed as medically this is generally referred to as "post-partum paternal depression".
You've ruled out that it's not just (what I've read was normal for some of our ancient ancestors) waking up for an hour in the middle of the night, to tend the campfire or whatever, and then go back to sleep?

> SSRIs don’t work for many people and we only found out 2-3 years ago.

If you only found out 2-3 years ago that SSRIs don't work for many people that's decidedly a you-problem. Psychiatry has known this for ages, which is one of the reasons that depression treatment is still tricky. You have to try what works for each person individually. And usually it's a combination of things.
> trying to achieve parity with AMD and Nvidia

Interesting to put AMD and Nvidia at the same level. From experience developing GPGPU applications they are not even close..
Reading about this reminds me of carbon nano tubes and graphene: extremely interesting and useful properties but no reliable, reproducible mass manufacturing techniques mean we have no (or only very very limited) real world applications.

I hope LK99 does not end up in the same place...
