This has been a known hoax basically since its inception. Researchers used sophisticated imaging techniques to find shadows of nothing, but the media was thirsty for a damaging story against colonialism and the Roman Catholic Church, and hyped up this myth of thousands of dead children who were supposedly abandoned to oblivion by the sisters, religious, clergy, and laymen who cared for their very lives, educated them as best they knew how, and upheld their dignity, even if the colonial government was indifferent to it.

This was such a realistic hoax that the Church herself bought into it, and the Holy Father himself visited the sites in Canada, on an "apology tour", and directly and unambiguously apologized for atrocities which never, ever happened.

It's humiliating for faithful people like me, when our history is admittedly sprinkled with troubles, that fake news would gain currency and even be the catalyst for hate crimes, such as the vicious and vengeful arson and destruction of historic Catholic churches.

You can install it for free on your machine. I think it's a decent price, considering that they offer you to check a website even with a ratio of seconds.
Is it Denmark really putting taxes on electricity so high that a kWh costs 2 times more than in France? Just to reduce consumption?

The interesting data you linked clearly shows the problem with high mix of renewables: even if the average wholesale price is the similar, the final cost can be way higher because people need electricity at 6 PM and not so much at 4 AM, and the costs of a more unstable system are higher (such as delivery costs). Similar production price, totally different value. That is the difference between LCOE and the costs estimates which include other factors, such as the firming intermittency price estimations published in Lazard 2023.

The similar patter you see in oil and gas could be because of taxes, but the difference is below 10 %, not 200 %.
Because a Facebook page is the business’s own advertisement, you can add the opening hours displayed there straight to OpenStreetMap. (Google’s information obviously cannot be copied into OSM, and besides, sometimes its opening hours are guessed from visitor data instead of added by the business itself.)

It has been over a decade now since most physical-retail businesses began giving up on maintaining their own websites, using only Facebook pages instead, unless they are part of large chains.

That is exactly what is getting lower and lower for free software compared to SaaS. Currently I can run a codeLlama 34B in the browser and use as a personal chatGPT running local. What SaaS can beat this? The UI/UX around this tech isn't ready yet but things will change fast in the next months and disrupt almost all recent AI SaaS startups. I wouldn't start a SaaS today thinking it is the holy grail of business models.
Yeah, I think I've gotten too used to it and learned to automatically compensate for it, but the more I think about it, the more I realise just how terrible Google is at bike routes.
It's called "ballooning"; only done by basically newborn tiny spiders, that string out some silk which is light enough to be affected by wind or electrostatic effects.
Not just time saving, but since I use it I did not have to re-tie my laces during the day, it looks very symmetrical, and I regularly have the silly but satisfying experience of people seeing me tie my shoes and say "how did you do that?".

Finally someone thinks of the general population who doesn't buy the latest gadget just to keep up. A 3-4-5 year old smartphone should be perfectly adequate if devs actually thought of supporting the "normal phones".
Per capita statistics have no affect on me personally given the level of taxes I paid in the US and NZ was substantially higher than their respective per capita averages.
There’s a world of difference between an internal API and directly fetching from a database.

What concerns me here is mixing up internal APIs with client APIs that are callable from the outside. It just feels weird not to have this distinction when generating pages on the server.
Official answer: no. Right answer: yes, of course!
>That's no longer the halting problem

Just your luck. Under Univalence identity is equivalent to equivalence and it's computationally decidable.

So you should be able to produce a decider which determines whether any alternative encoding/representation is equivalent to the halting problem; or not.

Formally speaking Turing machines are formal language recognizers, so in which formal language is the formal statement of the Halting problem expressed in?

I'd also like to see the decider for "admissible" vs "inadmissible" encodings. Input validation is an Interesting problem-domain for sure.

(Of course, this is all for the sake of maximum pedantry)

This is a fantastic piece, and is written so well! I wish more could be done to educate folks along the way. Imagine 1/10th of a country's GDP depending on the fungi, and it's not just hard to source, but its efficacy on certain aspects is questionable.
A very similar thing happened with ICQ numbers where short (or pretty) numbers were prestigious and were sometimes sold.

I think there's a difference from NFTs in the fact that ICQs and telephones were heavily used tools for communication, this is what lends these numbers the prestige. Since everybody used them to communicate with you, everyone saw that prestigious number.

In comparison, NFTs aren't really attached to something of value in the same way and are not interesting/prestigious to anybody outside of people interested in those NFTs specifically.
You are right and it's probably as "bad" as you make it sound, but we've come a long way. One tiny step at a time. Maybe one day full open hardware will make it to the mainstream. Let's just dream a bit (and work on it)

Edit: I am aware tho, that there will always be some vendor who just copy pastes the open hardware and sells it for cheaper, because they don't have that much R&D cost. And restricting that on whatever level (government, etc) sounds even worse.

Your outrageous high score is breaking the endless leaderboard UI! Well done :)

I get your point about the pausing concern. I've actually thought about that in past playtests and I think the long-term solution for these things is likely even more drastic: increasing the difficulty of the procedural gens incrementally more after X levels have passed. And/or capping the winnable time back from solving every consecutive level after the first Y. There are lots of interesting things that can be explored in this area - see the last section of the original echo chess writeup.

Awesome to hear you reached LEVEL 157 in one run! Curious if you got taken by the 'one more turn syndrome' [0] in that session, or if you had embarked on this run with a clear goal of surpassing 100,000,000?

And please make sure to ice those fingers. echo chess cannot be held liable for finger damage.

The use of models is fantastic even if only to provide easier ways of handling pre-written text; like taking player input and categorizing it according to sentiment or estimated topic. I'm playing with it in Evennia and dialogue and interactions with the game are somewhat night and day. Just not having to guess for keywords is a wild improvement. However, it's also very slow unless you want to throw money away; running on a cheap droplet using Meta's zero-shot-classification for relatively brief queries... each takes a few seconds.

Text generation is where most people's minds go but as far as players are concerned UX is more important than a million different room descriptions; you can always write rooms yourself.
The UK system is that the pair ("number", postcode) must be unique for any postal address; "number" is often a house number but things like "1A" or even names like "Whitehall" are allowed too.

Further, as mentioned, there is a limited amount of "number" that can be associated with any one postcode (currently 100 for new codes, but some legacy postcodes may have more), so for a long enough street, the postcode will change at some point - for example Chepstow Road, Newport changes from NP182LU to NP182LX at some point. If you have more addresses in a single building than the 100 limit, then the postcode indeed changes within the building.

This is quite useful as the standard way of entering a shipping address is you type your postcode, and then select the exact address from a dropdown, and there's a natural limit on how long you have to scroll to find yours.

Most above ground plants are easy it's the root vegetables that are hard to grow. You pile on nitrogen and the tops of plants grow, even root vegetables' top leaves grow but little of the root. Corn can be a pain it needs a lot of water and even more nitrogen.

Even if you have the perfect amount of nutrients and the pH is good for nutrient distribution a carrot can be stopped by a single pebble in the way or if the soil too compact.

No reply, so I am going to assume that the answers are "no".

If something matters to you and you need it to work, then make sure that the developers know that. Communicate it. That is how FOSS works.

If you don't, you lose your rights to bitch about it. That's also how this stuff works.
To non-developers reading this, I have no way of knowing whether such statements are ever true, but I am willing to believe they are not!
Unfortunately, this is a real gold-rush type situation, and I think that parties on both sides of this transaction should not consider the situation to be very stable.

It's well-known that sometimes nations reclaim the ccTLD for their own purposes, with a resulting rug-pull to the registrants. Having your domain name suddenly change is bad for business, it goes without saying.

And is this a steady, guaranteed income stream for the registrar? How long can they count on all accounts remaining current? Is AI a bucket of empty hype, or an enduring investment opportunity? Time will tell.
true, but then it's neither interpolating between the public documentation nor extrapolating from the possible similarities between concepts
Is taking a screenshot of a movie an example of fair use
I've recently tried to make a meme based on Gravity Falls scene. As I have Disney+ subscription, I opened browser, navigated to desired scene and took screenshot on MacOS. To my consternation, the screenshot went black.

I have learned the hard way, that current application of WideVine DRM disallow making the screenshots. However I've always thought that making a screenshot is an example of fair use. I wonder how could I, for example, make an article on some movie and attach screenshots, if I am not allowed to make them? Should I use those which are only on official site? What about bloopers (like e.g. Star Wars badly done fighting scene choreography)?

My question is - is WideVine taking my rights to fair use away? If yes, can I fight for them somehow? Also I live in Poland and I'm convinced that our rights of fair use are really widened comparing to those that are in US. Deepl translation of the Polish act follows:

The Act provides that it is permissible to quote excerpts from distributed works or minor works in their entirety in works constituting a self-contained whole to the extent justified by explanation, critical analysis, teaching or the rights of the creative genre.

It's a single creation and flood story from a single Middle Eastern culture

Just because it spread across half the world by the later military and commercial success of its practicioners doesnt mean the "distant history" aspect of its mythology has any more basis in reality than gods manipulating lightning, the divinity of cats or tree nymphs (or indeed the same religious tradition's emphasis on creation as a six day process). Especially since a couple birthing children and a flood are near-universally experienced concepts that don't really have that much in common with tribal migrations and non-flood near-extinction events many millenia earlier.
If you enjoy Organic Maps, please consider supporting them financially: https://organicmaps.app/donate/. Supporting their serving infrastructure for numerous users is surely costly.
I'm currently using OSMAnd, which is pretty powerful, but also feels a bit overloaded UI-wise - does anyone have any experience on how Organic Maps compares to it? Sounds like it could be a worthwile alternative. Especially the claim "go for a weeklong trip on a single battery charge" sounds interesting - I have the feeling that OSMAnd actually increases battery usage, because all rendering has to be done client-side, but of course it's probably possible to optimize this. Also, the free version of OSMAnd can only download a limited number of maps (split up by regions, which are sometimes a whole country, sometimes less) - I hope that the donation-based model works out and they will not be forced to do something similar.
I love Rene Herse stuff (tires mostly), but ... they're niche of niche.

(Seriously, the complete bikes they sold are literally more expensive than any car I've ever bought. Not that I wouldn't like one, they're even roughly the style of bike I like, but I wouldn't use one enough to justify it. Their parts though, they're heirloom quality solid performance.)

There's a ton of custom and semi custom manufacturers out there of parts and frames, some of which are even affordable. A quick perusal of the Radavist will give pointers galore. Some of them even do production runs to make frame prices under 2k.

Personally, I like the look of the Crust Lightning bolt, but it's seriously pricey to import to the EU, so maybe something more like the Brother Mr. Wooden is next in line for me.
That whole webpage ( https://www.worldsweeper.com/ ) is so oldschool web. Love it.
It’s a reason why generic durations aren’t often used. Usually you restrict it to be a simple count of seconds or days or whatever is appropriate for the use case, and then you don’t need any special notation, because it’s just a numerical quantity that you store/transmit like any other numerical quantity, its unit being implicit in the schema.
I didn't like the idea of moving to frameworks but it does make things simple again. It is probably slightly simpler than the stuff before SPA (Django, RoR).

There is overhead with working out where something, should be rendered but, in my experience, a lot of the issues are raised at compile-time and are quite transparent (the articles overstates the issues you have here, there is mental overhead but it isn't bad). The SPA period of React was awful for complexity (this was also when React had lifecycle methods, wasn't well-integrated into webpack...awful).

Isn't that an "old wives tale" that doesn't have any basis in reality?

You are correct. Nobody has ever been able to point to a law requiring companies to maximize profits for shareholders at all costs.

In fact, there are thousands and thousands of companies that exist with a primary purpose of doing things other than making money for their shareholders.

Any "legal" obligation to "maximize shareholder value" started out as a way to excuse the greed of other people, but falls flat upon even cursory examination.
On the one hand, yes, in that one example it worked. After quite a while, during which the competition already suffered massively.

On the other hand, triple nope. E.g. the council of German GDPR enforcers declared most of Windows and Microsoft Office unfit for use in public offices and companies. https://www.wbs.legal/it-und-internet-recht/datenschutzrecht... or https://datenschutzbeauftragter-dsgvo.com/dsgvo-teil-2-micro...

But nobody cares, everyone just ignores those kinds of decisions and continues to not get fined because as especially the second link shows, "its complicated". Nobody even knows which agreements with Microsoft are actually valid for which license, software and situation. At the same time, for all the office drones, Microsoft software is just "the standard" and nobody even considers switching. It is just a complete refusal to get compliant by all the public offices, let alone private companies.
You're saying it's immoral to abort a fetus after the 1st trimester outside of the typical exceptions (assault, life of the birthing person, etc.). I'm saying that almost never happens, and you're saying even so it should still be illegal.

I think what you're missing is that it's probably impossible to craft such a prohibition bill that still protects the birthing person, because again the cases where abortions occur after the 1st trimester are innumerable. You can say you don't care, or that you value the fetus more than the birthing person, but I don't think it's useful to equate it with "infanticide... at the discretion of the mother". That's wildly out of bounds here. It's an extremely high stakes, complex issue and both sides deserve respect.

I think you need to think through exactly what that regime would look like because, and I'll say it again, we already had it. For some reason you really want there to be a law, but that law wouldn't change the numbers, and it wouldn't have many important exceptions. As a result, women would still seek abortions in unexempted cases (both "good" and "bad"), the same number of overall abortions would happen, all that would change is that more desperate women/girls and caregivers would go to prison, and more desperate women/girls would hurt themselves seeking unsafe abortions.

> When it comes to ending human life, we just don’t entertain the kinds of arguments you’re making about “access.”

You're missing my point. If you're serious about your position ("we want as many abortions as possible to happen only in the 1st trimester") then you need to dramatically increase the access to abortion in the 1st trimester. That's what you should be all over HN posting about. A draconian abortion ban won't do what you want.

> From the perspective of Danish law, most of the second and third trimester abortions in Canada are not happening for “good reasons”

Again you're not responding to the facts I've laid out for you. There are lots of other potential reasons for this (access, primarily), and your only evidence for this is your inference, which is no evidence at all. This is a classic post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, which you're stubbornly making even in the face of other more parsimonious explanations. I don't know why you insist on believing there's a significant population of women out there that are doing this, but you've yet to show any evidence for it.

>Ultimately, UBI doesn’t create more resources in an economy - it just makes more nominal cash flow through it.

You're assuming a competitive equilibrium. At that point you have reached optimality and it is impossible to improve, which then leads to the apparent conclusion that doing anything at all can make things only worse, not better.

"The current allocation of money is perfect. Optimality demands that these people stay homeless."

Only to then be disproven by this study as it proved net societal savings, which is impossible under the competitive equilibrium model.

The thing about assuming competitive is that it implies either that rational actors are non deterministic turing machines or P = NP.
