The goal for MS is as it has always been: to have everyone's computer running MS Windows. Or more recently, for everyone to require a subscription to MS Office365 or whatever it's called. Any product they produce that isn't a market leader, they will make as widely available as possible until it is a market leader. At that point, they will constrict it to whatever environment is most profitable for them. They have repeated this behavior since the 80's. If you don't know and accept this about MS, go read some history about them. No corporation will ever act in your best interest, unless it coincidentally happens to also be in their best interest at the time.
They added Python 3.11 last month. Why do you call it close to abandoned?
Often, when laws are passed, they provide definitions for the terms in the law that require definitions. Regardless, I'm not aware of any proposals for copyright law where "intelligence" is used.

Wild pig has a certainly different taste to even farm pigs given a lot of space.

I wouldn’t say it’s a taste of truffle though, it’s just a different, stronger flavour (that I quite like).
damn, I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.
But there are several types of ethernet that run over a single pair now. There's 802.3bu, 802.3cg, 802.3da, 802.3bw, and possibly more.

And I can't tell if any of them are compatible. I think da is compatible with cg, but the others are all little islands, all serving very similar needs in mutually-frustrating ways.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
OSMand definitely has more features, but whether that makes it better depends on the use case. I like it in principle and try it every once in a while but could never really warm up to it, and every time I just end up going back to Organic Maps.
There is. When you click on a place, there is an "edit place" option which allows you to edit common details including business hours.
A couple reasons: Some people are excessively modest to the point of self-sabotage & will discourage you from providing deserved praise because they see it as boasting. Also, asking is another step and creates more friction in providing positive feedback. Given that this is something people already don't do, if you're trying to encourage the behaviour it should be made as easy as possible. There will be some people who can overcome their reticence to provide positive feedback, but asking them also to have an awkward conversation with the recipient beforehand is one step too many & they'll revert to simply not giving feedback at all.

So I disagree that there is nearly zero cost. Some people find these conversations awkward & the cost may be them opting out of this process altogether. And again, this guide over-emphasizes the potential "risk" of providing positive feedback.

Your "why take the chance" is precisely the issue I'm talking about–giving praise has been wrongly framed as a "risky" behaviour. It's like saying "you should exercise but be careful not to fall off a cliff! Check for cliffs ahead of time so you don't die!" This is overstating the risk of exercising & putting emphasis in the wrong place.
I would be shocked if Google killed search in the next 10 years. I guess it could become unrecognizable by being merged with bard, but the product will exist
It's been a while since I've done the math, but a solid line of roboports moves fewer items than 4 blue belts (which takes up the same amount of space), IIRC. And if you've got fewer roboports than a solid line of roboports, it moves even less throughput.

Probably the only time it's hard to beat robots is when you have something like a megatrain unload station--it's extremely difficult to squeeze more than two blue belts per wagon (one belt per wagon per side) without robots, and there's no need to balance belts with bots.
> Imagine the same happening after Nazi Germany

This is precisely what happened in non-Soviet-occupied Germany. Only the most senior Nazis were severely punished at big trials like Nuremberg. For lesser ranking Nazis, even when they were sentenced to imprisonment, their sentences were generally short or soon commuted.

South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation commission focused on the investigation side in order to provide healing, but it sought to avoid prosecuting any but the most trenchant participants in Apartheid – and the country was praised for that. There is certainly a belief that coming down hard on the ancien regime may only prolong civil conflict, so it is hard to see Spain’s way of dealing with Franco’s legacy as beyond the pale.

> Spain still experiences a lot of issues related to fascism

I don’t think this is a fair characterization of contemporary Spanish politics. The political successor of Spanish Fascism (the falangistas) had dwindled by the 1990s to a handful of elderly folk who were derided by wider society. Today in Spain, the term “fascist” is often applied by people on the left to any ideological opponent on the far-right or even the center-right, but that right-wing opponent’s actual link to Franco or the distinctly early-twentieth-century phenomenon that was Fascism, is doubtful.
That seems completely unrelated to "have a unit test" which is what they're saying.

Is this just for notifications and calls? One of the worst parts of having a Galaxy watch and an iPhone is that I can't do basic things like sleep tracking because apparently those need app pairing.

For those wondering, I got the Galaxy watch specifically for the biometric sensor which is far more functional than the one on Apple Watch.

The forces of safety/market standards that an automobile must conform to is combining with capabilities of the materials available.

This makes the easiest/safest answers pretty standard. Automobiles combine many disciplines which makes for long development time lines. This further reduces options.

Multi-dwelling housing above 5 units will also show this same phenomenon.

Applying the same logic the study's authors apply to their results, you would also come to the conclusion that 45% of Americans consume no beef at all, rather than that 45% of Americans happen to not eat beef on any given day.

The trade-off Germany chose is not between using nuclear vs. producing more CO2. It is between using nuclear vs. reducing economic activity (and the latter is IMHO very dubious - despite many warnings, Germany is able to procure enough energy just fine).

It's not like we need a fixed amount of energy X, and have to choose how to get it. Rather, we say we want to discontinue fossil at a certain fixed pace, and say, OK what is the effect of turning off nuclear on the power price? And what is the effect on the economy?

And given that nuclear energy in Germany is not actually that cheap, and hugely unpopular, it was an easy decision.

A muddy reveal for mysterious West Point time capsule from 1820s
I haven't tried Cyberpunk 2077, but I play a bit of Minecraft and from my testing KDE's Wayland implementation has about a 25% FPS penalty at least. I keep the FPS capped at 60fps, my display speed, and with X11/kwin the game can maintain that in all but extreme circumstances (e.g. breeding thousands of mobs, or https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-226966 (ludicrous bug btw)) With Wayland in the same parts of the map my FPS will be in the 40s. This is with numerous performance mods; without those it's much worse.

It's not something I care to spend time debugging, since Wayland doesn't give me any other reason to chose it anyway. But I still try it once or twice a year to see if it has improved, and after several years of this I'm starting to think it never will.
That's a very bold claim :)

If you prepare for migration, then it will work. If you don't -- it might or might not work, and it depends on way too many things to be confident that it will.

For example, in our VM deployment process we heavily rely on PXE boot and our code that runs during initramfs and also after pivot. So, even if whatever you have in the hypervisor and the virtualized OS has somehow managed to solve the moving problem, our own (screwy) code might not be so smart.

In general, the more of the underlying infrastructure you touch, the harder it will be to move you, unless you specifically prepare to move. Eg. what if you set up BMC for various components on your system? What if your code relies on knowing particular details of hardware to which you were given pass-through access from your VM, like, eg. you record somewhere the serial number of your disk in order to be able to identify it on next boot, but suddenly that disk is gone?

Even simpler: MIG flag on NVidia's GPUs is stored in the persistent writable memory of the GPU itself. Suppose your VM has moved to a different location and is connected to a different (but compatible) GPU -- you need to run the code that sets the flag again and then reboot the system in order to start working with the GPU, but the host may not be even aware of the fact that you need that particular setting.

The guest side of things needs to be prepared to move, to mitigate these problems.
> Think about eg. randomness of ordering in PCIe bus (i.e. after moving the devices may not come up in the same order as before moving), various machine ids, like MAC address -- if you don't make sure VM isn't affected by these changes, it's likely that it will be, if moved.

QEMU/KVM/libvirt/... are idempotent when it comes to hardware the VM sees - the exception is the CPU model, that one can't be changed on the fly without at least rebooting the VM in question, and hardware in passthrough mode like GPUs.

All the VM sees from a live migration is a few seconds of "lost" time, as if someone had stopped the CPU clock.
It needs a hyphen.
I’m a raging capitalist, but o do think that all forms of surveillance need to be disclosed by regulation. This applies to government surveillance as well as corporate surveillance on customers and employees. Companies should be able to collect data on whatever they want but must disclose it. It must be possible for people to see exactly what is being tracked as well as the aggregations performed on the data.
Most of the time no-tech solutions are the most appropriate ones.

Imagine if your cloud smoke detector went offline and it didn't trigger because it needed a specialized non-local AI to reliably determine there's a fire.

Well, React certainly has succeeded in increasing the client-side complexity, that's for sure. They seem to be making good inroads on increasing server-side complexity as well. Kudos to their contributions to excess CO2 emissions!

I have yet to see a React project with more than five contributors fail to turn into a big ball of mud within 18-24 months, requiring either a periodic rewrite or resigned acceptance of trudging through large volumes of mud to get anything done.
Sometimes things go far enough that one may want to say "no, I'm completely against that" even if it means lost money or opportunities and no direct upsides. Not everyone will be up for that. Not everyone can afford to. But when it happens, I'm happy to keep it in mind and give my money to businesses that do want to treat people better.
Ask HN: Best APL Keyboards. Any Ideas?
I'm really intrigued by APL and want to start grasping some basics.

I assume I'll need a specific APL keyboard. Could someone who already has an APL keyboard give me some guidance on choosing one?

Thanks a lot to the HM community!
Its clear from this post that you aren't at all here in good faith, just to be glib and purposely misconstrue other people's words. good luck with life.
Yup, and for performance, you would RAID Stripe a bunch of EBS volumes together. But sometimes you'd get a volume on a noisy neighbor, and its performance would be terrible.

Where I worked at the time, I wrote some Chef tooling that would hdperf the volumes it provisioned, and if some weren't any good it would provision more until it got 8 good ones. Only then would it RAID them together, then deprovision the bad ones.

Now they have provisioned iops, and I haven't seen a slow EBS volume in a decade.
If certification was offered instead of the current multiple rounds of technical interviews, homework assignments, and leetcode gymnastics, this might be a positive move forward.

But instead it's just going to be a certification arms race where you're going to have to have 5 great certifications to merely qualify for the opportunity to start the cycle of interview bullshit.
Paul Stamets on Joe Rogan (crazy stuff, apolitical topics are all I can stand, then only barely...) mentioned that Cordyceps sinensis seems to have different fruiting forms, and in the wild it often grows with another fungi so you get very different expression.

I'm not a TCM believer, but dispassionate studies Stamets mentioned also have shown that growing some fungi on grain vs. hardwood causes large swings in the production of some compounds by the mycelium. "You are what you eat" applies to plenty of things, and I think there's just a huge bias we have that 'some dumb white fuzz' can't have all this hidden complexity.
Yep, what you're describing is the "Bootleggers and Baptists" problem.

It’s the interest rate. When rates are low, devs are paid to build complexity, new frameworks, tools, languages. If the interest rate stays low other devs will get paid to play around with those new frameworks, build more complexity on top and so on.

SQL, html, C … get things done. When rates go up, these non-bs technologies are incentivized. Paying devs to create new frameworks/apps/products just so that those devs are happy and don’t go work for the competition is what results in complexity for complexity sake.

Those who hitch their success to the latest greatest shiney new bs tech are the same who used to sneer at those who didn’t cover their webpages in flash animation. They make the mistake of thinking the current way is the best way. It’s not old vs young, these two mindsets exist across different stages of the lifespan. Generally speaking, older people have more data and will therefore spot the patterns/cycles a bit easier.
Burning it is not problematic in itself, the question is if radioactive particles are scrubbed from the exhaust stream, and what happens to the solid slag.
Indian Influences on Rastafarianism
Maimonides lived under a particularly harsh time, contemporaneous to the Al-Muwahidun (Almohads) overthrow of the dynasty of the Al-Murabitun (Almoravid). The Almohads were much less tolerant than the previous dynasties, though that intolerance waned with time.

>I think it's learning styles in a way that's at least partially analogous, because it comes out with things that are reasonably original and not in the training data.

I don't think that is evidence that what it is doing is "learning".

>I'm sure an LLM can write you an essay like that for any artist you want, but I'm not all that convinced those are meaningful even with humans.

Well, it wouldn't be reflective of what the LLM thinks, so what is your point? If you are of the belief that humans don't have thoughts, I guess it's not a surprise you view things this way.

>That's the thing, it's not a hypothetical, it's a past story from here on HN. Someone did that, asking for copies of a famous painting (Girl with a Pearl Earring) and got highly derivative items out of the model and we had a debate over whether that even means anything, because that's both a simple description of the painting and the name of a famous work, so it makes it so it can be ambiguous whether you asked for "Girl with a Pearl Earring" or a girl with a pearl earring in the prompting.

You say derivative but without any reference to what it actually means... what about is derivative - that's the analysis that's happening in court. The analysis isn't "what you asked the LLM" because that's not dispositive to whether or not something is a copy.

>I agree that it looks like copyright infringement whether it's done by a human or AI, though. I guess a lot of people missed the prior discussion on HN.

Well, that's the problem with the death penalty in the face of our current legal system.

The prison I mentioned was majority black. I knew a man personally who had been in prison for over 40 years, since his early 20s. He wasn't on death row, but he spent his entire life in prison for a murder he maintained he never committed. I believed him.

One day in this man's late 60s, another man at the prison who was on death row was executed. At his execution, he confessed to another murder... the same one that the first man had been charged with. It took 40 years for this poor man to be exonerated, because he was locked up in a time where being black was enough to get the book thrown at you. If he was on death row, he wouldn't have gotten 40 years to prove his innocence.

But the best part? The prison warden maneuvered to gum the process up with as much paperwork as possible, and this man died in prison as a free man.

This makes no sense. Free speech is an American value. Most societies, even other European-descended societies, do not share that value to the same degree, if at all. And it’s not the job of American billionaires to tell other societies how to govern themselves.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine#Performance

> Nicotine-containing products are sometimes used for the performance-enhancing effects of nicotine on cognition.[57] A 2010 meta-analysis of 41 double-blind, placebo-controlled studies concluded that nicotine or smoking had significant positive effects on aspects of fine motor abilities, alerting and orienting attention, and episodic and working memory.[58] A 2015 review noted that stimulation of the α4β2 nicotinic receptor is responsible for certain improvements in attentional performance;[59] among the nicotinic receptor subtypes, nicotine has the highest binding affinity at the α4β2 receptor (ki=1 nM), which is also the biological target that mediates nicotine's addictive properties.[60] Nicotine has potential beneficial effects, but it also has paradoxical effects, which may be due to the inverted U-shape of the dose-response curve or pharmacokinetic features.
