Because it is rocket science after all. Changing engines means changing fuel system, weight distribution, avionics, etc.
Sign languages are full fledged languages in their own right; they aren't simply a series of visual renditions of the words in the spoken or written language. Their grammars are often fundamentally different. E.g. ASL is closer in syntax to Japanese than it is to English.
Really :)
Did you see the pics of some of the roads, a mile on dirt roads is slows you down quite a bit.
Difficult often implies additional resourcing and development related costs.

Something that many companies are not willing to invest in since it will have a negative impact on the shareholder values.

Often risks are accepted, and cybersecurity insurance is used to mitigate those risks.

Rockets are not LEGO.

You can't just swap engines without a significant redesign of the rocket and ground support equipment to match.

the RS-25 burns liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen; the BE-4 and Raptor burn methane and liquid oxygen, but the Raptor uses supercooled densified propellants while the BE4 takes them at closer to their boiling point. Switching between BE-4 and Raptor would require nearly as much work as a switch from RS-25 to either.

The varying density, temperature, and fuel-to-oxidizer ratios mean the propellant tanks would need to change size, and that may have some tricky structural implications with respect to the side boosters of the SLS. And the ground support equipment (launch pad, tower, etc., ) would of course also need to be adjusted to match.
No if you check the output, or even enable -d, you'll see that it goes through sub-pages. It downloads all the index files into a tmp file so it can parse them for more sub-pages, then deletes them after because they don't match the pattern.

It even goes as far as to download download.damieng.com/fonts/conversions/Micropack.zip, proving that it does traverse domains and sub-dirs, but nothing under download.damieng.com/fonts/zx-origins.

It's really strange, I'm thinking it has something to do with all the .zip archives being linked without a protocol (//download.damieng.com), might be a bug but I'd be shocked if no one had encountered it before.

Happy for Albert to get a job, but I expect this to be the end of the site in the not so far future, given that Atari seems to be more about squeezing every last drop out of their old portfolio. The homebrew community can be forever grateful to the site though (well, to Curt Vendel and Glenn Bruner) for getting ahold of the original Jaguar Encryption keys so that homebrew CD games just work on unmodified consoles, so that's a pretty amazing legacy to leave.

What is the current Atari company actually doing? They seemed to have scrapped their crypto casino, their VCS seems to be a complete failure that made even less money than the Ouya, so that leaves the $1000 limited edition cartridge set, merchandise, and compilations of old stuff for current systems (Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is really good!)? Nothing wrong with being a nostalgia company, but I really wonder if they have anything new going forward, or if they are just going to maintain the brand to re-release old games?
I lived in the Yukon for 4 years, it truly is magical and hard to believe. I drove a few hours south to get into Coastal Alaska, and ~8 hours North into the Arctic Circle which I did a dozen or so times, summer and winter.

Imagine a world where SpaceX burnt out in the late 2000s, and all that talent and energy moved to Boeing/Lockheed et. al.

Point being that they were far from a sure thing in 2008. The traditional contractors were seen as a safe bet by everyone involved. And the speed at which federal government moves means these things are measured in decades.

As a kid back in the 60s I noticed that I heard this word a lot in southeast Asia, Europe, Australia and the USA. I think I noticed it because I read in a few books that it was used a lot.

And I suppose there were computers in the 1960s, but I doubt it had anything to do with it. ISTR the "explanation" (conjecture) was US culture, GIs all over the place, and WWII. But I also remember reading that it came from west Africa, though that is not contradictory with the spread-by-US-ubiquity theory.
You make a good point. I looked it up and it's in MW and even scrabble recognizes it as an interjection. I think to be a word, at a minimum an utterance would have to conform to the phonemic structure of a language, but that's a low bar, and 'uh' passes. I guess it's a word!

Sign languages absolutely have words, they're just formed out of finger and/or hand positions + finger and/or hand movements, and sometimes facial or other body movements, rather than out of sounds (phonemes). And yes, these signed words are specific to each sign language (although there is borrowing between many sign languages, just as there is among spoken languages). Sign languages also have grammars, as do spoken languages, although the grammars of sign languages may allow for some things to be encoded simultaneously rather than sequentially, as is usually required with spoken languages.

yeah, i understand that they're not visual renditions of spoken or written words. but as far as the possibility for a sign language to share a word with a written or spoken language - how?

does a sign language have words, in the sense that a spoken language does, that could be shared with a spoken language and aren't simply a transliteration of a spoken-language word into signing? from the example in the article, is there any way that a sign language could share the word for coffee, or we could say that the sign for pineapple was more like pineapple vs more like ananas? or is the sign simply a sign, that could never be compared to a spoken word?
Product market fit then TDD.
Props to the NixOS team for turning down money in good conscience. This one must have been tough but I think they made the right call here. The communication lapse seems tough, I hope Mister Luckey can cope.
Also the application that handles text message is itself sandboxed and limited to a fixed set of permissions (to be fair, that include messaging other humans, so an exploit would still be very bad, just not "remote root" bad).

That's the part that is still unclear with this BLASTPASS business. Surely iOS isn't running the messaging app as a device root, right? There's some other presumably-unpatched privilege elevation attack going on?
hungarian chimes in, the words mentioned in the article in hungarian:

pineapple - ananász

now let's look at the article's champions
coffee - kávé
chocolate - csokoládé

both the same origin, but distorted so much, that i could not order those things in starbucks...

so in my books, taxi is the winner

A phrase I learned at NASA: "With enough thrust anything can fly".
Ask HN: How are people getting around GPT4 rate limits?
I’ve been playing around with the OpenAI APIs for an AI project. My GPT4 limit is 10k tokens per minute, which seems to be the current default for new accounts. I’m running into it constantly just in development, and that’s for a pretty low-key use case.

It seems like to use it in production for even a modestly successful product would require like 1000x higher limits.

According to OpenAI’s docs, they are not considering rate limit increases at all for GPT4. Azure OpenAI has 2x higher starting limits, but that’s still not close to enough, and they’re not considering rate limit increases currently either.

I’m sure this will change with time, and I understand OpenAI’s reasons for rolling out access gradually. Still, I see some services out there that appear to be leaning heavily on GPT4, or are at least finding ways of getting comparable quality, that seem like they shouldn’t be possible without far higher limits. I’m curious if anyone can speak in general terms on how this is being accomplished? Do they have higher limits from earlier stages of the rollout? Or special deals with OpenAI/MSFT? Or are they using fine-tuning and other strategies to make 3.5 (or other models) reach near 4-level quality? Or using TOS-violating hacks like rotating requests across many API keys?

Building in a way that allows users to make any required GPT4 calls locally with their own API key seems like a possibility as well depending on the app, but that obviously limits the audience and isn’t great for ux or onboarding.

For my use case, GPT4 is just barely reaching the point of viability—not perfect but good enough to provide significant value, whereas 3.5 turbo is woefully inadequate. While it doesn’t seem like a bad idea necessarily to build it out for now within the limits and then be well-positioned when they finally get increased, I’m mainly just wondering whether everyone’s in the same boat on this or if people are finding legitimate workarounds that don’t require some insider connection.
> If I didn't change the behavior with any set of input parameters valid for the prior version, I haven't broken compatibility.

You don't anticipate that the behavior will change in a way that you care about, but that's not the same as not changing behavior. Different sides of an API nearly always have different definitions of "valid" and "behavior" here, and API documentation is never as concrete as would be needed to prevent that. So are you exhaustively fuzzing the input space? Because if you are, then great. But I bet you aren't. And even if you are, nobody else is.

> more than 0% of real software projects using SemVer...

I carefully said approximately. It gives us some leeway when talking about this without falling into the trap of believing that a small degree of adherence is meaningful.

> feature releases may be assumed to have greater risk of expanding the risk surface

I know it's common for people to feel that way, but there isn't a meaningful interface safety dividing boundary that any of us can point to between development of a feature vs a fix. Code is code is code is code. The developers can either reliably identify when changes will break users or not. If they can, then breaking.nonbreaking is plenty. If they can't, then only a single newer_than_before value is fine.

Like, if you want to argue for a new Dragonwriter's TrustVer where we talk about degrees of belief about whether a change will break something, we can do that. I'm all for it. But more than two values will still not be more useful to the user than at most two (except in the one contractual obligation case I presented), and it won't be Semver.
So stop shipping iPhones to Israel until they play ball. If they're that smart they can roll their own phones. These companies do immense damage and endanger lives the world over.

I'm pretty sure the Church was just doing damage control for a vow breaker.
Good questions. I think that at the lowest level, the per document model is a nice abstraction to build on top of. But I have a lot of plans on the cloud side to make it easier to integrate into the rest of your backend and your existing dbs.

I also am thinking about adding partial replication to the SQLSync model which could enable storing multiple documents in the same database on the server side.

Lots of different ways to go with this in the future :)

Luckily arrow in Turkish rhymes with 'woke' so the two are not easily confused. The most common Turkish word for okay is also a loanword from Arabic.
I am not sure if the original poster is talking about downloading over https and, whether he is mentioning the data rate or the file size. For instance you download a 1gbyte file in 4 seconds - your effective data rate in terms of what you want to see on your disk is 250Mbytes/second ; but if you measure the actual data rate it would be more due to both TCP/IP and, application layer overhead.
I would actually contend that "meow" and "nya" are pseudo-cognates, they are onomatopoeia of the same sound. M and N are both nasals, and iˈaʊ̯ and ia are close in vowel space.
Yeah, the tiff bug was one of the the first few iOS jailbreaks. The wiki says 1.0-1.1.1: https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/LibTiff_Exploit

I wrote a patch to fix it that one of the jailbreaks used. I wasn't in the scene, but wanted to protect my ipod touch. So I figured out a patch and gave it to somebody named "pumpkin" on IRC. It's been a long time, but I remember it was fun to learn ARM assembly and figure out how to rewrite the code to get enough space to insert a test and return.

Ask HN: Are SaaS Businesses Commoditized?
There are so many SaaS competitors in every space.

Most of them seem incrementally better than the others (or much better but not 10X better as the old adage used to be).

Are all new SaaS businesses effectively a play on "Your margin is my opportunity"?

What do you think?
A few things. For me the most important is that it lets you easily explore the whole compile time call graph. (i.e if `h(x)=x*x` and `f(x)=h(x)`, Cthulhu will let you easily switch from looking at `f` to looking at `h` (think of it like compile time debugging). Cthulhu also has the equivalent of @code_llvm and @code_native.
I generally agree, but I don't think Afghanistan and Iraq were rounding errors by any factor. It's a major percentage of the US'es debt, as in trillions of dollars.

Perhaps the US economy (and politics) is resilient enough to handle it and not crash outright, but poorer folks in the US feel the squeeze of inflation and lowered wages due to cantillion effects.

This isn't the same thing, but: in most indigenous languages of Latin America where Spanish is the national language, the word for cat is something like 'mees' (or 'mis' if you use the Spanish-like spelling). This is because cats were introduced in that area by the Spaniards, and a common way to call a cat in Spanish is 'mis-mis' (like saying "here kitty kitty" in English). One exception to that is Waorani (an indigenous language of Ecuador), where the word for cat is kitty (not their spelling). I'll let you guess why.
> Would you be happy if our murder laws were 90%?

We're talking about consumer disputes, not crimes. If there's a crime, again, you can loop in a regulator and law enforcement.

> What if those 10% of the time were typically the most egregious cases?

Again, nothing prevents you from making a public stink before submitting to arbitration. You can have your cake and eat it, too.

Also, false economy. The trade-off isn't between 100% and 90%. It's between 90% having a chance, versus something like 5% of the population having the ability to pursue minor civil claims through the courts.

> Who chooses the service (hint: it's almost always the company)? What are the rules for what constitutes an 'arbitration service'?

Courts have defined what constitutes a genuine arbitration service. Again, there is case law and there are data around this.

> have talked to lawyers about this, and most of them agree with all of my criticisms

Sure, I do too. It's theoretically flawed. But so are our courts.

For the average American, what's their advice? (In cases where I think I may have major claims, e.g. with insurers, I opt out of arbitration. But for checking accounts? Arbitration, all the way.)
Ah but what defines madness? For me it's innocuous functions that have surprising/wild behavior due to type inference disagreeing with me.

Most of the time I am the one wrong.

Honestly not denigrating any efforts anyone is undertaking. Its a natural comparison to make, tho. There could have been troops there cleaning up within hours. There could have been troops there fighting fires when populations were threatened.

The Navy in particular has some assets not far from there.
> You've proved that the ADL is calling for an advertising boycott, which is a 1st amendment protected right.

The First Amendment is somewhat beside the point, since Elon is alleging that they are defaming him/Twitter. Defamatory speech is not protected by the First Amendment. So it's totally fine to call for a boycott — but totally actionable to call for a boycott using defamatory statements.

It will be difficult for Elon to prove defamation, since he is a public figure, of course.

When they interviewed him for the New Yorker, I was posting on Facebook criticizing him about how his favorite person was Hyman Rickover, and lo and behold he was mutual friends with a college friend of mine, and added his two cents on the comment thread complaining about the characterization in the article. I reminded him that his best buddy Rickover who made plenty of enemies in his own right thought in the end that nuclear power didn’t belong outside the military for (among other reasons) precisely because of what happened at Shoreham to the backup turbine generators as documented by Greg Palast.
