FYI if you get stuck in a captcha loop, try an audio captcha, it'll tell you that there's an error and you can't proceed, but for whatever reason the visual captcha will happily keep you clicking on signs and traffic lights even though you can't ever pass.

Often the cause seems to be the captcha service itself getting too much traffic end not your IP or browser.
If you don't need any kind of support maybe.

I lack the expertise in biology to take a position, but this situation appears heavily influenced by politics. At the time, they dismissed the idea of a lab leak as "impossible and ridiculous," possibly just to contradict Trump, despite the scarce information. Presently, with the US aiming for a Cold War-like relationship with China, it's become trendy to attribute blame to China, even though there's still insufficient evidence.

I personally enjoyed COVID though. It completely changed the trajectory of my life (for the better).
I think one of the most intetesting reactions to Kuhn is Gould's punctuated equilibrium, which applies the same idea to evolution.

After the fact, it seems that both are obviously true, based on collective dynamics of reinforcement within a slowly changing ecosystem, until there is too much pressure, then a jump or phase change to a new equilibrium happens rapidly, as compared to the previous stasis.
So give it to them, via enforcement.
Amsterdam is one of the least livable cities of the Netherlands. Everywhere else is just as easy if not better to bike and walk, but not nearly as traffic-jammed or as full of tourists.
Sounds like the first step in a journey reassessing everything C++ piled on top of C that lacks any practical advantage compared to just C.
> whenever something APL related comes up on Hacker News, it's always in the form of arcana you'll laugh at rather than fascinating work being being done by very smart people. I find that offensive, but I'm not going to push back on that. I don't talk on Hacker News. But I've seen a lot of interesting things being posted about it, and the comments are always almost universally, like: "what the hell is that for?". And not understanding that that language was once the best interactive language out there, and in many ways still is. And there's some phenomenal stuff being done with it. But it's hived off somehow from most of the rest of the computing world in a way that, for instance, Lisp (which is, I think, an almost contemporaneous language; Lisp was a little earlier, but similar) ... Lisp is sort of part of the universe of programming that people understand. They'll laugh at it, but they understand it, and they know what to do with it. And APL is something altogether different. I think that's a shame.

I will admit my interest in learning APL has been piqued. Though I do find it odd that they never once mention the most popular array programming language of all time, MATLAB
Show HN: Polymorf – Talking AI Avatars
Hi, I started this project with the idea to clone d-id and create an alternative. As you can see, the video generated is not as good as d-id, and currently looking for feedback and suggestions on what technology I can use to have better video output (natural head movement, etc.) or on what direction you think I should take this. I wrote a more detailed writeup of what I learned in this blogpost https://nonstop-lung-14d.notion.site/Launched-an-AI-Video-Av...
Wow, this is super cool. As a hobbyist game dev, I really hope to see bevy support soonish, as it has a dedicated community and is also Rust-based. Or rather, a rust crate for whatever rust-based engine wants to use it. Rust-based game engines show a lot of promise so I think the crate would be a worthwhile endeavor
Clann.app: Yay or Nay?
Hey guys, I was recently hunting domains and I came across clann.app. Have any of you used it? i think it is still in development as their payment is still in "test mode".

Hopefully they launch it soon, it solves a problem I have been facing for so long where I cannot remember the names and traits of my family members in my extended family.
Ah shit :( end of an era. Brought a lot of smiles to the internet.

Yeah same, it boggles my mind. I'm scared for my life of busy intersections, many drivers get impatient to the point of seemingly not caring if they'll kill you. I never ever look at my phone while on the move.
As someone who feels allergic to the amorphous marketing talk I found this article refreshingly concrete. I like the idea of specific goals over just "marketing" that I usually hear.
Distinction without a difference. Just because we give our unhappy youth's misery a name and send them home with a bottle of pills doesn't mean they're not unhappy.
I think you're missing my point. The question isn't whether you can complain about it, the question is whether you would complain about it if you weren't using Twitter.
If I'm correctly reading the comment you're replying to, it was against the law for WD to void the warranty. So, the warranty was not void.
The aftermarket for noise scofflaws should not exist. I lived near some kind of chopper club years ago and every Sunday around 10am you'd have these clowns revving loud enough to nearly make eardrums bleed. I theorize the reason they feel comfortable inflicting this on others is because they have the admiration and encouragement of the individuals on the police force who would do the same with their cruisers if the city would buy the parts. Pox on all of them in this narrow regard.
Yeah, just like 'people don't leave jobs, they leave managers', 'developers don't fork source, they fork maintainers' feels equally true.
It reduces the build time of a clean build by about 10 seconds. Recompiling after changes to your code is not faster, unless the version of serde the code depends on changes.
I read the article, and the linked GitHub issue, and posted it. I'm curious if people who use this for a living and aren't some reporter pasting snippets agree with this framing. The variety of responses here now suggests many do not.
Corn Syrup, while I hate the ingredient, is EXTREMELY common in home baking especially if you want to do confectionaries.
I didn't say it solves every SAT problem in polynomial time, I said it can

> find satisfying assignments to satisfiable SAT instances in polynomial time

The distinction between this and solving SAT, and the slight strengthenings one can make to universal search, are part of those few technicalities I promised to gloss over.

Also, cut the snark. I'm not a complexity theorist, but my PhD thesis was in the intersection of graph algorithms and complexity (the first word of the title literally being "Hardness"), and I'm more than qualified enough to understand and present well-known complexity results from half a century ago, even when a misguided appeal to authority is at play.
The status quo is good
I use it expecting they will not sell my data to third parties or use it for things like AI training. I'd expect Google, Microsoft, etc to do this.

What is a "cope post"?

The article mentions a bad choice (not by the author) but moves on to talk about how to make better choices and never talks about the mistake again.

Did you read past the first paragraph?
> It's all the right of the author. And he's done so before.

What do you mean by "he's done so before"?
What is the average ROI on advertising by using google AdSense et. al?

Advertising is an assumed cost of business for any medium to large company these days, but I feel there's a growing silent minority who slowly believe, slowly know, that advertising in the online space is unfeasible for a majority of products. Advertisers like google make so much money because online advertising is one of those things that is super easy to keep throwing more money at. I wonder how many companies would benefit from entirely ditching online advertising and pursue alternate methods like direct outreach or sponsored content.

We might see 4,000-10,000 advertisements a day[1]. Do you remember two advertisements you saw today? Mere-exposure effect is the only thing going for it. Which may be fine if you're Coca-Cola, not so much if you run an online clothing store.

I think it goes beyond simple rearranging. We actively change them. Maybe not many people are immune to this

I struggle to see how one could read the article to the end and walk away with that sentiment.
With AI, you control the idea but you have no understanding of the creative expression that will result from entering a prompt.

It's kind of hard to over emphasize the the damage they've done, specifically as forms of personal transportation (versus more commercial transport).

He does have a video called "The Best Country in the World for Drivers", in which he shows that by reducing the need for cars for most people, actually helps the optimize things for operating a car:

> Seems 90% of riders get angry when an exhaust isn't loud as a jet and it's often one of the first mods people make.

I am a motorcyclist, and I get angry when I hear a loud motorcycle. I want my next motorcycle to be as quiet as possible! And I want people to be fined when they produce such high levels of noise pollution.
It isn't that it is hard to believe it can happen. It is so many people, though, that it is hard for me to comprehend.

And yes, the mask can make noise, but typically not as much as the person makes snoring for your partner. Modern ones, in particular, are fairly quiet and can be tucked under the night stand such that they make about as much noise as basic forced air venting systems do. Which is not much.

The mask can be uncomfortable some nights. They do have a variety of masks to try, though. And if it isn't working, they have other options.

That last point is actually refreshing for me in this story. So many bounce off a CPAP into nothing. Hopefully efforts like this story will help people find something that can work.
I would suspect it was "here is a marketing budget, go market" and someone who maybe didn't know better / much about marketing just spent it while nobody was paying attention. That might be a really short article.
This kinda nails an issue with reddit. You can find a hobby/community that you have overlapping interest in, but the culture/moderation of that community may not have any consistency with what you want. Which would be fine, but reddit doesn't provide room/discoverability for multiple subreddits of the same topic with different moderation styles/cultures.

Yes, rust directly supports modern intrinsics, that is what rustfft for instance uses. I try to stick with autovec myself, because my needs are simpler such that a couple tweaks usually gets me close to hand-rolled speedups on both avx 512 and aarch64. But for more complicated stuff yeah, rust seems to be keeping up. Some intrinsics are still only in nightly, but plenty of major projects use nightly for production, it is quite stable and with a good pipeline you'll be fine.

I've written c++ since ~94, and mostly c++17 since it came out. About a quarter of a century of that getting paid for it. I never liked or used exceptions or rtti, and generally used functional style except for preallocation of memory for performance. I think those habits might have made the transition a little easier, but the people on my team who had used a more OOP style and full c++ don't seem to have adapted much more slowly if at all. I struggled for years to internalize rust at home until I just jumped in at work by declaring the project I lead would be in rust. I have had absolutely no regrets. It really isn't as bad a learning curve as c++. But we learned c++ one revision at a time. Also, much like c++ rust has bits you mostly only need to know for writing libraries. So getting started you can put those things to the side for a bit right at first.

Lol.

It happens. On my first job a batch of drives started failing daily, in sequential order by serial number. There was a bearing defect - the vendor ended up replacing about 400 drives, which meant many weekends of migration and restores.

I don't know why a library has to be necessarily small in size. Having micro packages that only do one tiny thing would only lead to a npm-like hellscape, and Serde is the most complete option in the Rust ecosystem.

In my opinion it's better to have simple interfaces for complex features, rather than simple interfaces for simple features. You could code those yourself.
The perception thing is tricky. How do you even know another human perceives things as you do? AI teaches us some truths through its failures and successes.

It's a fallacy to think that we only think with our "mind". We think when we "try something out"; we think with our "gut"; we "take a walk"; we "sleep on it". We toss rocks, fiddle with rosaries, bow to mecca. All of these engage other parts of our body, even parts of our environment. (How do people make friends with a river or the wind? How do they perceive seasons? What is the epistomological basis of "Saturnine"? Why do we name some inanimate objects, in particular ships; and why feminine?) By my lights if you carry your smartphone all day, it's a part of you; I avoid making it a habit for this very reason.

I've had serious astigmatism my whole life. I also managed to function uncorrected into my forties. My "vision" was extremely good, especially in a natural environment. Astigmatism means everything isn't in focus at one place at once, and there are interference patterns; so I'm hard wired to see certain patterns. So imagine that fly's eyes. The individual units don't focus to the best of my understandings. Think about them as individually manufactured, and maybe the quality control isn't what you think it is. Maybe it's expected that some focus near and some focus far; maybe some even suffer from e.g. astigmatic conditions. If AI can classify images from raw JPEG images, it's reasonable to suspect that it can integrate sensor data from multiple heterogenous units incorporating light sensors.

So at some level it builds a model. The question has to be how much introspection the control unit can bring to bear on that model and does that help it interact with its environment in a more efficient or effective way.
Thank you for pointing out the specific Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act vs sticker and such. Appreciate it.
No need for jumping to conclusions. I sympathize with parents' problems and I prefer the bigger strollers because they don't rattle. Whether they belong to public spaces is something people can't agree on but I'm not seeing riots over it.

Me and others are inclined towards solutions that reduce noise.
I am not saying those numbers are correct just that even China acknowledges they have millions of homeless people.

Also that 2.41 in 2011 excluded 0.179 million kids so 0.19%. The 3 million figure in 2015 so 3m / 1393m = 0.22%.

However, elsewhere it was suggested that children alone might be closer to 1 million. I am not suggesting it’s accurate just that their estimates are suspect. Hell I just looked at a paper suggesting homeless was close to 300 million in China. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ajes.12324 That seems unlikely, but the idea it’s even possible to mention suggests we don’t have adequate figures.
> I found the discussion to be mostly very civilized and focused on finding solutions for those affected.

I really disagree with this characterization of the discussion. While there's plenty of more or less dispassionate comments focused on finding a solution, there's a greater number of people from the peanut gallery drowning that out with comments that amount to "I don't like this!" at best and questioning the integrity of dtonlay at worst. I feel like this demonstrates some of the worst features of open source software on github, where a bunch of nobodies feel the need to add their totally useless input rather than participating in good faith to find solutions and make the software better. You even see comments like that here, speculating that dtonlay is trying to break cargo and force people to use bazel, which is just an insanely conspiratorial and bad faith speculative interpretation that is obviously untrue and helps no one.
as my old fried Witty used to say, the limits of my language are the limits of my world.
I agree with what you’re saying but this talk of WD customer support going silent after a customer points them to a law they seem to be breaking -- and then proceeding to actually violate said law -- is not something I would write off as simply a bad consumer experience.

The question of "what is old book smell?" is well answered. I was hoping to get some musings about why. That is, what is it about us that makes us associate those chemicals as positive?

I think there can be coincidence. Some things just have a smell because like chemistry and such. The brain must represent that particular chemical signal somehow. But when it's a noteworthy smell, when it's the kind of thing people write articles about, I expect a little more.

Truffles smell good to animals because if they didn't, animals wouldn't dig them up and help distribute the spores. Decaying meat smells bad to animals because if it didn't, we might eat it and get sick (that battle having been already lost to the decomposers).

So with that in mind, why do old books smell so good?
Why stay away from QLC? Does it not have its place in high-read low-write consumer workloads, such as software or media libraries?
Perhaps interesting that Feyerabend/Gould were anarchist/communist.

Both were excited that Kuhn showed the assumed linearity of progress was flawed, and it really needed revolutions, but only anarchist Feyerabend went all the way to demand a complete absence of structure.

However, in recent times, Feyerabend seems to have gained some support in the areas of finance ( A Random Walk Down Wall Street ) and innovation.

When all obvious opportunities are immediately arbitraged away, often literally at the speed of light (HFT), and all obvious innovations are exploited without any barriers to entry (WFH,SAAS), only the random lucky outlier makes progress.

There is no algorithm for success.
Mobile robots get a leg up from a more-is-better communications principle
My favorite story, of which I heard a few very similar sounding ones over the years, is the case of dead SanDisk SATA SSDs _sometimes_ timing out on all commands after booting up. So if you have one of those drives in your system and you have one of 3 common motherboard vendors, you'll sometimes just get a black screen. This seems to occur consistently when the computer was on in the last 30 minutes, leading most to assume bad motherboard or PSU. I replaced an entire aging system because I couldn't nail down the issue - and then it followed me into the new one because I falsely assumed a misbehaving drive wouldn't cause my BIOS to wait forever. This was the most frustrating year I've had with computers where I'd run my machine 24/7, just so I wouldn't have to deal with repeatedly trying to turn it on with 30 minute breaks in between.
There are regulations for those, at least in Europe a cleaning and automatic leveling system is mandatory. Which avoids scattered light and ensures they're pointed downwards.

The most annoying lights around here are all on Tesla's or very old cars. Tesla because (at least on the model 3) they allow owners to change the leveling height in the settings and people raise it for more light. Plus a lack of quality control on the early model 3's seems to put their two headlights often at different angles with one being blinding.

Old cars because they're kept to the regulations of the construction year not the new ones. So they don't have mandatory leveling and/or people have put aftermarket xenon lights on them.

It'd be great to seem more from the Exec class talk about identifying stupid crap like this blunder and doing something about it.

You almost never hear management talk about near misses. "We were going to buy that giant ERP for X millions but we did a weekend of reading and found out the vendor was two guys' etc etc.

This sort of waste has the risk of wrecking a business, putting multiple jobs and lives at risk etc. Yet, if some pleb on the shop floor is wasteful with company material or time, consequences almost instantly follow. It'd be great if this ended with, and then we made the money back by sacking the marketing team and hiring one person who had a clue.
Compile times. It's the same as using a binary distribution or a source-based distribution. Only very few people want to "recompile the world" when they install new software. Which is why mainstream distributions pretty much always just distribute binaries via apt, yum, etc. However, for the people that do need source distribution, it's very important for them. And it's almost always required in high-assurance environments where supply-chain attacks are a real concern. And those people can't rely on the upstream security of crates.io, or this developer's laptop.
you're the one assuming that by only including kB of source code
You may not be up to date with the latest thinking, but it is widely accepted that advertising agencies are the best, most benevolent arbiters of speech. That is why their judgment is never questioned, but presented as immutable fact, like the weather.
