Comparing it with a 5-second hand off is like one of those bar graphs that cuts off the origin to make the difference in the bars look bigger. It’s more a difference between a 15 and 18 minute delivery. Not nothing, but I don’t see a huge difference between that and someone who lives 18 minutes away.

I personally go down to meet them, but mostly because it’s faster for me to run down than wait for them to take my slow elevator.
RFK died in 1968, and doesn't seem to have a personal website. The website in question is his son's, whose public service record is somewhat less established.
Unfortunately it seems to be a position shared by the loonies and no one else. I suspect Ramaswamy support for Assange comes more than from Assange having had a TV show on Russia Today than Ramaswamy's love of liberty as Ramaswamy is deeply opposed to individualism and liberty.

I think Assange should be pardoned but it is a choice between Assange doing time and the continued US support for Ukraine, I'd choose Ukraine. It seems stupid that it has to be such a choice, but here we are.
Security depends on your threat model. Your threat model and Googles are not aligned. They are protecting against threats you are happy to ignore or otherwise have other counter measures for. I think the real problem is assuming a one size fits all strategy works for everyone.

Maybe a more rational, objective argument against "plant meats" is that they are usually heavily processed food. Once in a while, they are unlikely to make any problem, but as a daily staple it's not ideal, health wise.
Vegan products enjoy a healthy markup, and vegan stuff sells nicely. No producer is relegating the fact that their product is vegan to some fine print in the hopes to trick someone trying to buy animal meat. Has anyone ever mistaken vegan meat alternatives for the real deal?
Nobody used TF-IDF for vector lookups without applying a PCA first though.
I'm not disagreeing with what you've linked said but it's pretty well documented that there are negative events that can lead to long term impacts on children. The letter you linked seems to glance over parents who are abusive, whether that is verbal, physical, or neglectful.

For those that want to dive in a little bit these are Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). It's not an end all be all chance that you'll develop something with a long term impact but the more you experience the more likely you are to do so.

Australia, robodebt, The Netherlands, "de Toeslagen affaire" or the scandal where automated evaluation techniques wrongly categorised people as committers of benefit fraud. It took more than 25,000 victims and one pitbull politician to get the government to stop destroying peoples lives. And the emcumbants in the government tried to side line the "trouble maker" politician standing up for the people.
Sounds like the basic issue is that they're paid by the delivery, rather than being on salary, so anything that makes deliveries take longer than the minimum is costing them money.
The point is that today, the key isn't in Google's or Amazon's or Meta's servers, but on the phones of people. That means that you literally don't have the key if you don't have the phone. And governments don't want that, they want the keys in order to eavesdrop but without being noticed (and stealing the phone would get you noticed).

So your only option to comply with this is to remove the phone-only key storage option and move all of the key into your servers, which is what we talk about when we mean "breaking end-to-end encryption".

The issue is that to comply with the rules, you have to secure that server so only the good guys can get in, and only if the warrant is legit, but also to allow fast access for time-sensitive cases such as terrorism and secret cases such as NSA investigations. You also have to make sure that there's absolutely no way for people to access that server if they don't have the approval.

Oh, and also that server / these servers contain the keys to read every message from every citizen of your country (including politicians), which is probably worth as much of your GDP.

So you need to build the equivalent of a safe containing one trillion dollars that can't be accessed for any reason except all of the reasons mentioned abov3. Except that this theoretical trillion of dollars are special dollars where if you mess up and let people in without anyone noticing they got in, they can "steal" the trillion dollars and start spending them and nobody would notice that they're being spent. And there's just about every country on earth that would love to "borrow" your two trillion dollars, especially if you can't ever realistically prove they did it.

Easy, right?
See my top level comment elsewhere… the answer is “mountain duck”.
No, I'm being fair towards those who are in favor of "oat milk". But I have zero issues with it being forced to be named "oat drink" and I prefer it this way. In my case because they taste completely different. An oat drink requires added sugar for it to even be tasty to me.

You libertarians are no different from the communists you so protest. One just worships the invisible hand of the free market -- something Smith would be devastated to see -- while the other worships the omniscient hand of big brother. Both seek appeal to a higher power that knows all. You worship a market and your claim is that one size fits all. For you yourself said that all strive richest and wealth. So nothing I can say because you won't believe me that I do not seek wealth or richest but just wish to live my days reading and doing math. Your model is to strict to believe I exist, or my partner, or my best friend. I know many who seek wealth, especially in my field of ML, but I promise you that there are many like me who just want to learn.

I have said my due, but my due is not simple. I cannot spoon feed you something which I claim cannot be spoon fed. I'll admit my ideas are likely a pipe dream, because they require one to think long and hard, to constantly re-evaluate to a changing ecosystem. To iterate and improve. For there is a bound to the simplicity of reality, but complexity goes against our deepest desires. There is no spoon feeding but you must read my words carefully. For your priors are getting in the way. Stop being a true believer and seek to understand what people are trying to say, not what you know they mean. For the latter is impossible for nothing you can say will convince me that you're an omniscient god.
Hi HN community,

OP here. We've built an app for migrants and people with low functional literacy which explains official documents in their native language.

I came up with the idea because since I can remember I've had to translate and explain official letters to my Filipino parents in Austria. They've always asked me "Totoy, ano ba yan?" which is Filipino for "Little Boy, what does this mean?"

We're combining GPT-3.5, OCR and prompt engineering for the app and currently support the generation of explanations in 18 languages.
Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Thanks,

Francis
Maybe, but there's either a problem with builds, which makes WASM a potentially exciting solution to them, or there isn't, and therefore the subject is not relevant to WASM in this thread.
Ehhh no ethical consumption and all that but I’m gonna have to go ahead and disagree with that last sentence. If I become aware of a business treating workers poorly I’m inclined to find an alternative.
Yes, I too can see why a dishonest corporation would knowingly use incorrect labels to mislead you about how their product compares to the competition. That doesn't excuse that behavior though, quite the opposite.
Is this inference not training?

Those early demos were certainly quite large. I don't think that I found any early demo of WASM to be under a megabyte, for sometimes quite trivial things.
There are _many_ other off the shelf core banking systems - some are more modern and cloud first (Mambu) and others more direct competitors to BANCS (Flexcube, Finacle, Temenos). I don't think many of them are Cobol/mainframe based.
Anyone remember the Albert Apple ][ clone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_(computer)

My dad had one of these and I thought it was the coolest because it had the text-to-audio synthesizer. Because it was such nascent tech, it said a lot of hilarious pronunciations which was infinitely entertaining when you're like 7 years old.
A lot of these methods aren't easy to scale (yet) and depend on the outstanding expertise of individuals. There are also various incentives and circumstances that work against it, depending on the country where you live:

- you can't get loans from the bank because its not a proven method (applies to food forests or other types of agroforestry, not to organic farming anymore)
- you need some time investment to get the operation profitable, can be as much as ten years for a food forest
- regulations may prevent you from acquiring land, simply because the method isn't known
- you may not get subsidy and / or tax cuts because you have a different system or produce different crops
- the crops you produce may not always get the best prize on the market
- you simply aren't profiting from externalized costs, hence you are less competitive

An example of the last point: to support our meat and dairy industry, the Netherlands imports cheap soy from Brazil, which is produced by destroying millions of hectares of rainforest. This is a bit like fossil fuels (also used a lot in agriculture): it isn't sustainable and it is taking advantage of cheap labor and destroying natural resources elsewhere. If you want to produce meat or dairy in a sustainable way in the Netherlands without taking a toll on the Amazonian Rainforest, you will need a lot of land which is very expensive, and therefore you aren't competitive anymore.
It's such a common problem, I'm amazed there aren't more solutions out there.

A sound data model really helps things out. I'd go API-first.

Drag and drop is a PITA. Specifically multi-column layouts, which require nested dropzones and a bunch of "intuitive" UX. A good library can help here, but not do everything (we're using react-beautiful-dnd which is a bit out of date - dnd-kit might have been a better shout). This hasn't landed in our main branch yet, but you can see it under the nested-dropzones branch (https://github.com/measuredco/puck/tree/nested-dropzones).

If you could write React wrappers for your Vue components, you could potentially leverage Puck directly. That would save a lot of time. And even if not, you might be able to fork it or reuse the data model.

I mean, you still have root and APEX packages aren't doing anything tricky specifically to stymie modifications - they're just mounted file systems. You're still going to be able to modify system certificates, it's just going to be less convenient and need something more than dropping a single file to a folder. Hell, the code is even still falling back to the old file system path if the APEX mount doesn't exist, so you could just delete the entire module and go back to the old method.
Why is that offending? There is some kind of drive to have kids/to reproduce. That drive makes biological sense. I'd say that majority of living things acts on it.

If you personally don't feel that drive, there is nothing inherently bad with you and you certainly can have full and happy life. Maybe even happier because you can separate your decision and weigh pros/cons of having kids wihtout emotional involvement. But you are still probably a statistical anomaly. :)

France is simply more authoritarian. It does ban burkas but it also bans hate speech. The US bans neither.
While I do not have any control over whether the place I buy my jeans from uses overworked children from Bangladesh, I also have the very basic human empathy needed to know you shouldn't complain to said children when your Shein order isn't next day delivery.

By all means, blast Uber, blast <shitty gig economy company>, but passing on the blame onto the guy that barely makes minimum wage and destroys his car/bike in the process is downright moronic.

What makes the U2 quite amazing is not just that it's a 70 year old design still in operation.

It's also that the U2 was developed by Lockheed Skunk Works on a $22.5 million contract, where they delivered 20 working aircraft in less than 2 years from project start and went $3.5 million under budget. They paid back the money. And as a bonus deliverable, the team also developed a new testing site with extra long paved runway, hangars, workshop etc. on a salt flat known as Area 51.
Also: "JUST Egg", which according to the website (http://ju.st) sells "really good Eggs". Which, of course, it doesn't.
That is so ridiculous - even if that would not be a false positive from a overly simplistic word match, removing it from public listing and doing nothing else is so far from the wrong action.
It's simple Doublespeak. This has nothing to do with protecting consumers. It has everything to do with vegan products eating into the animal-agri industries bottom line, and them using every cheap political trick in the book to slow that.

They'll be demanding that they take a separate section in the back of the supermarket next. Then, lobbying to make sure that a certain percentage of plants grown must go to animal agriculture for "tradition and heritage" or some such shite. I'm sure banning plant-based meat alternatives is somewhere on the wish list too.
Europeans generally take food and branding seriously. There was an article recently about how some Miller High life beer, a low end beer, was not allowed into Belgium because their slogan is "The Champagne of Beers" https://www.npr.org/2023/04/22/1171460421/miller-beer-champa...

It's a cultural difference but seems like a fine one that just emphasizes food quality. People are just upset because they think vegetarians should have some special status and don't like anything that opposes such an agenda.
You may have a point regarding milk, but not for the meat related words in the article like steak and ribs. I can accept that "burger" has probably been generalized already.

The real issue is making the plant stuff look like the animal stuff and then naming it that way. That's just deceptive. In that regard most of the "milks" are fake.

There is also an issue around food allergies, which can actually kill someone. Don't forget to tell people your nut-based milk isn't just dairy. It's sad that we now have to ask what's in everything because the words are starting to mean nothing.
It’s possible to communicate in words alone just as it’s possible to communicate non verbally, but misunderstanding increases. The written word is a poor subset of language not a 1:1 mapping of tone and cadence.

As to abandoning words, we might abandon them for something better. When people use a whiteboard they tend to draw a great deal rather than simply writing words down. If we eventually move to say brain machine interfaces we could be sending more nuanced thoughts than words allow. Subtle degrees of emotion and perception that the written word simply can’t convey. The old a picture is worth a 1,000 words but taken even further to the point where the use of words atrophy and eventually disappear.
You are confusing SafetyNet with Play Protect. Play Protect is about protecting devices from malware. SafetyNet is about protecting services from "untrusted" devices. It is a remote attestation API that validates that the device is running a "trusted" operating system.

> I live in a tourist city - there's no shortage of hotel rooms.

How do you know?

It's not going to show up as hotels always 100% full.

If there was demand from 10,000 tourists, and there were 7,000 hotel rooms and 7,000 AirBNB properties, then you could have 5,000 (71%) of hotel rooms occupied and 5,000 (71%) of AirBNB properties occupied and you'd think there was no shortage of hotel rooms.

But there'd be no shortage of hotel rooms only because of AirBNB. The reality is that there'd be demand from 10,000 tourists and only 7,000 hotel rooms.

> Usually tourist cities don't have a hard time building new hotels. Building new housing can be tough.

Well tough on them. Lots of things are tough. I have no sympathy -- new housing should be built, end of story. It's not sending a man to a moon, it's just regular old governance.

It's very clear that many tourists want to stay in AirBNB's. This is a valid consumer preference to stay somewhere that feels more like a home, in a place that feels like a neighborhood instead of a busy downtown, with a normal amount of space rather than a cramped hotel room, and at less cost. It seems silly to say that's a bad thing.
A slight tangent, but does anyone remember that fake commercial for Wood Milk? I feel like it was some ridiculous attempt by milk companies to make people think oat milk or almond milk is gross, but it just made me want some wood milk.

Also was this actress they used just laughing at how ridiculous the milk companies were being or was she genuinely anti-milk? Not that it particularly matters.
I'm no flat earth idiot but I can understand why they find such footage unconvincing. Find some gopro videos of tennis players, take a few stills from their videos and try tracing the tennis court lines with a line tool in an image editor. Straight lines on tennis courts turn into curved lines in gopro footage.
Kernelization can be done in primal or dual. Due to the representation theorem, it only ever needs as many parameters as data points. In the primal with a kernel K, you're just doing a feature expansion where each data point x corresponds to a feature whose value at each data point y is just K(x, y).

In addition, I think the common saying “COBOL pays well, they are running out of COBOL devs!” is misrepresenting the issue.

I heard this on HN, so this hearsay itself, but I believe it’s not that these companies can’t find people that can learn COBOL, it’s that there are people with 30+ years of COBOL experience on their codebase.

The COBOL job security comes from being the only person who knows the codebase, not that somehow people can’t learn COBOL.
> Treesitter is baked in for syntax, eglot is baked in for language servers (intellisense),

Sadly the two of them don't seem to mix well together (eg rust-mode works well with eglot but rust-ts-mode makes eglot ask for LSP server binary and then still does not connect).

Looks like it's early toothing problems but it's not that straightforward (at least yet).
Yes it does, as shown by your own link. You translated the "A" part, which is the general definition. There is a "B" part dedicated to the definitions in the cooking domain, "CUISINE" is even spelled out in uppercase letters. The definitions there all refer to meat or fish.

Also anecdotally as a French native, grillade = meat for me.
That is always going to be a problem with editing pdfs with embedded font information--if you can't match the font, you will screw up the layout. Even if you can match the font, you'll probably still screw up the layout.
"grill" in France is used as an anglicism, ie. words imported straight from English, with the meaning sometime distorted beyond recognition. Here, it's used to imply that something have a flavor somewhat related to barbecue meat, say potatoes chips with "grill flavor".
Interesting information w.r.t. UK telephone practices! In the USA, it was usual to get free local calls, so ISPs would set up modem banks to try and get maximum coverage for a given NPA-NXX range. There was some arrangement with CLECs and ILECs where it was extremely profitable for IIRC CLECs to pass data-only calls through to ILECs, so one or the other was subsidizing a lot of the early dialin ISPs, to the point of buying them modem banks and whatnot!

That was probably one of the biggest death-bringers for the BBS era, no more long distance calls to get to what you wanted.

> Which was hugely frustrating because we had a voicemail variant that was hosted by the telco, and let you know you had messages waiting by pulsing the dialtone. And my modem did not recognise the pulsed dialtone as a valid dialtone, and refused to connect until we called the number and marked them read.

Yeah, some VM providers in the USA did that too, and it similarly confused modems. It's called "stutter dialtone" here, and the usual fix was to put some delay elements in the dial string, which were commas for Hayes command set modems.

> and why they weren't deathstars

They sure did earn that name! I was so hesitant to switch to HGST for ZFS pools due to my 90s/2000s deathstar experiences. Wouldn't run them in production for a while, of course now that I'm over it and trust them as well as any other enterprise brand, they'll screw it up again!
In this scenario, rclone mount uses sftp in the background which compresses the entire stream (you can control that by passing args to the ssh command spawned by rclone) but it doesn't do it per-file. In practice I don't know if there is a difference.
