Going to have to correct you. Life is a grand theater and everything is an act. History has never suggested otherwise.
I really wish smart phone display chipsets had this blit overlay functionality for TOTP (including a per-device symmetric encryption key for importing/exporting TOTP secrets such that the main processor can deny itself future access to the secret, but the phone can still generate TOTP codes, without the TOTP processor needing to store all of the secrets itself).

We've seen multiple secure enclave exploits. It's too bad some of this security functionality isn't baked into the display chipset. Yes, it's probably ugly (even if the chipset allows some forms of theming the TOTP code display), but it's better than having your brokerage account, your work login, etc. all exploited due to some 0day. It's also better than carrying around a handful of RSA physical tokens on your keychain (modulo phone breaking/being stolen/running out of battery).
People buy hot water poured over roasted and ground up beans for $5+.

People buy tap water in plastic bottles at a ballgame for $5+.

I do not conclude from those facts that "that means or appears to mean is that the cost of food goods is now driven by cost of production".

People are willing to pay for convenience and comfort. A bag of chips, a cup of Starbucks, or a bottle of cold water at a ballgame represents comfort and convenience.
reminds me of testing out a pinewood derby track in my backyard for our cub scouts pack. It had an IR sensor that would detect the cars at the finish line. When someone was standing next to the finish line, it worked flawlessly. Otherwise, it was very flaky and randomly would trigger without the cars trigger it. I pretty quickly surmised it was interference from the direct sunlight, so we put up a pop-up shade over it and it worked flawlessly (without someone standing nearby, coincidentally casting a shadow). The other dads were amazed that I figured it out, but it's just one of those things you learn from experience (and some background knowledge).
Happy to exceed expectations in underwhelming!
Imo both of these things are true:

1. For anyone who uses X for more than a few hours per month, a low fee is totally worthwhile.

Yes, but most of the current ideas on how this moment will change science are willfully short-sighted.

We are only a few years from next generation multimodal modeling. The future contains protein embeddings, genome embeddings, medical image embeddings, and chatbot decoders to discuss them with you.

Imagine prompting an image-conditioned decoder with questions like
"Q: Why do you think this brain MRI indicates the person will get Parkinson's?"
These are things that models can currently do, but we have basically no understanding of what they are looking at.
It's going to be one of those things like the internet where over the next decade it will have massively impacted every aspect of life but no one will fully appreciate how much everything has changed.

It answers your question directly.

"The gatekeeper should be prevented from implementing such measures as a default setting or as pre-installation"

So no, Apple would not be allowed to force users to accept such measures.
Why is everyone in this thread falling over themselves and starting every response with "as a liberal" or something similar? People are so afraid of talking openly about how insane the left has become that they don't see how their very responses are indicative of how the left will try to harm them in some way e.g. "how insane the left has become".

Sure 20 years ago the sides were reversed but now the hypocrisy is mostly on the left ( I didnt say all), specifically when it comes to how we treat both sexes.
If there is really one trunk then you can't break it apart further. However, most basil plants sold at the grocery store are just a bunch of small ones grown closely together. To break it up, just prepare a bigger pot, with potting soil, and then remove the basil from its store-bought container and split it apart with your hands. You want to create a few even groups to go in the new, bigger pot. Ideally, there would be one plant per group, but you don't want to break them up too much and risk tearing the roots too much. I just did four quarters and it's worked fine. I have a huge basil thing now and I did it in a long, skinny rectangular pot.
Uh... everywhere?

I forget how far from industry HN can be sometimes.
I agree, I think there is a wide open vista of opportunity in the hypothesis generation space when it comes to science. An instant literature-review-as-a-service would be incredibly valuable too, to say nothing of a, "write the code to implement the methods described in this paper."
"Be profitable" is enough to explain everything, no need to go further than that. Every large company does similar things, because that is where "be profitable" takes you until regulations catches up.

Can we have an example of toxic masculinity? I've never once received a real definition in a debate like this and when I'm close to it, the other side tries to make it sound like they are sympathetic to toxic masculinity.

For example, I've had it told to me that I shouldnt have my son help me with changing my car's oil because thats putting some sort of burden on him at an early age. Does this sound like something a sane person would say? I would go as far to give the benefit of the doubt and say no, most people are sane and the ones that would make this type of argument are drawn into a social mania.
Most households keep a fairly fixed number of vehicles. Selling more moderately used vehicles into the used car market will result in more old vehicles being retired sooner.
> FYI you should never trust the content-length of an HTTP request. It actually says that in one of the spec versions or another.

That's not quite right. When a Content-Length is present, it is always correct by definition (it is what determines the body size; there's no way for the body to be a different size). What you probably mean is that you shouldn't ever assume that a Content-Length is available, because an HTTP message can alternatively be encoded using Transfer-Encoding: chunked, in which case the length is not known upfront. That is true, but doesn't change my point: Either Content-Length or chunked transfer encoding serve to delimit the HTTP entity-body, which makes any other in-band delimiter redundant.
You get locked out of a feature that you paid for? Presumably adding that feature increased car sales, otherwise why would the company develop the feature in the first place?
I think you are demeaning any valid position you may hold by your contortions over Churchill's well-known and repeatedly documented racism and imperialism.

But maybe that's the fashion nowadays among sophisticated thinkers?:

2. It is absurd to consider morality on this topic when everybody used it in the last war without a word of complaint from the moralists or the Church. On the other hand, in the last war bombing of open cities was regarded as forbidden. Now everybody does it as a matter of course. It is simply a question of fashion changing as she does between long and short skirts for women."*

This sounds like a particularly common failure mode for software engineers in dealing with the law. In software engineering, we have strict rules, and most of our thoughts are devoted to exception handling, so we're thinking about exceptions and what the behavior of the system will be in unusual cases.

Law doesn't work that way. If you try and build a clever but hacky argument they don't care. They don't say "what a clever hack, you got us, you're free to go." They arrest you and charge you and maybe after your life is ruined by the expense of your legal defense, you don't actually have to go to prison (presuming you got bail for the 12-18 months it took for your case to wend through the courts)! Congratulations, you won your case! That's the good outcome! See, the law is enforced by people, not rules- it's the police, the prosecutors, the judges and the juries who uphold the law, not straightforward and simple software code. And people (very much including juries!) can tell what the intent of a law is, and they will (most of the time) enforce the intent of that law. Schemes to try and game the laws? That looks an awful lot like a guilty conscience which is sometimes a required factor in whether a crime was committed (especially on the sorts of financial crimes we're talking about here).

As for the actual law defining what public disclosure is, it's Regulation Fair Disclosure (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/08/24/00-2115... or https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-17/chapter-II/part-243). As I understand it, basically, the key step is that you file a 8-K form with the SEC who takes responsibility for publishing it widely, and there are rules on blackout periods for insider transactions around the filing of those 8-K's, but I'm not a lawyer, definitely don't treat what I say as legal advice, I just had to sit through lectures on this back when I worked as an engineer for a financial firm.

I don't think the point was that you should use logistic regression on MNIST. In lesser-known problems, say a custom in-house model, if you don't try the simpler approach first, you'll never know that your more complex solution is not worth the extra expense, or is actually worse than a simpler, cheaper model. MNIST is well-known to have nearly perfect solutions at this point, but for most novel problems, the data scientist has no idea what is theoretically possible.

Now, you can say that CNNs or other techniques are easily accessible these days, and almost trivial to set up. But they may not be trivial to train and run in terms of compute in the real world.

A while ago, I was looking for something gardening related.

Stumbled onto an article that read like a mix of: written by an Indian person (no offense!) with poor grasp of English, copypasta from Wikipedia or wherever, and repeated 3, 4, 5 times with different wordings.

Whole site was like that. I'd think "link farm" as description wouldn't be too far off the mark.

But you know what? It did show up in search results when searching the web. And while the content was crap, re-worded & redundancies removed it kinda answered what I searched for. Would surely not be the 1st visitor whom this applied to. And probably some tracking info was collected & sold as result of me reading that page.

No doubt there's countless such sites out there. And AI will easily replace most humans involved in its creation.

So I'm with you there: AI will EAT the low-bar-to-entry part of web content for breakfast. Higher up the stack? We'll see.

I kinda hate how in europe (or in the netherlands at least) there are non-grounded outlets that fit grounded plugs, and grounded outlets that don't fit non-grounded plugs.

Ideally, grounded outlets would all be type F. And non-grounded outlets should be the compact, recessed type-c in which you can't fit a grounded plug.

Though, I think they are very slowly moving to just making everything a grounded type F outlet.
It is a tough cognitive dissonance for most people to hold in their minds: men behaving toxically require more emotional support, not less.
> demonstrates that such measures are necessary and justified and that there are no less-restrictive means to safeguard the integrity of the hardware or operating system

Example how this would play out:

1. Apple bans every 3rd party app except the ones they approved

2. EU many years later finds that Apple did not hold to the spirit of the law (it was not necessary or justified)

3. Apple is fined for an absurd amount of money

I am willing to bet that Apple has enough smart lawyers to not even try something like this in the first place
Hmm I wouldn't have described Reddit as a "federated social network"... Can I run my own server and federate with Reddit?

It's not perfect, but pretty close if you compound monthly. It works with your examples too.

Delco! I now live in one of those small factory towns in Indiana. It’s fascinating to me how so many little towns in the Midwest existed just to make one small part for Detroit.
not really, i got this from a friend who is the director of a private school. he told me that he was unable to hire any male staff because parents would not accept that, and even he himself had to stay far away from the kids.

also i believe that this director surely checked if other nearby schools had male staff when evaluating the feedback he got from parents before making a general claim. (because if parents complain about male staff then i'd want to know if they would be able to find any schools that didn't have male teachers.) so i do not believe that this was an isolated incident.

it is possible that this was a regional phenomenon and not indicative for the whole country, but it certainly shows that the sentiment "man working in daycare is frowned upon" is definitely a thing and not something made up nor an exaggeration of reality.

i believe the only way to counter that is to demand gender parity among teachers. children need male and female role models and gender parity or something close to it is the only way to achieve that.
At work, I used it to build dev environment for several developers giving them isolated OS inside a single machine (host OS being the jump host for SSH and host OS Caddy reverse proxying web sites toward the guests), which was easy to do with LXD.
Just install opentelemetry libs. I found this example with a quick search: https://dev.to/grunet/leveraging-opentelemetry-in-deno-45bj

opentelemetry has a service you can run that will collect the telemetry data and you can export it to something like prometheus which can store it and let you query it. Example here https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-co...

Typically in dev environments trace spans are just emitted to stdout just like logs. I sometimes turn that off too though because it gets noisy.
My favorite book about the deep connections between information theory, compression, and learning algorithms is MacKay (most probably know about it but I didn’t for a long time so maybe some will benefit from the mention).

I gather this is common knowledge (if not sufficiently emphasized at times) among those with serious educations, but as a self-taught, practical application-type ML person this profound thread running through all these topics (and seemingly into heavy-ass particle physics and cosmology and stuff like that) was a blinding “Aha!” moment that I’ll venture this comment in the hopes that even one other person has that unforgettable moment.

> The facts are that if he was so benevolent he wouldn't be a billionaire. End of story.

I don't trust his benevolence, but that doesn't follow.

Money at that level exists as an indicator of the marginal amount someone else will pay to own a right to the expected future 20-ish years of the profits of the companies he owns, multiplied up as if there were enough people to buy all of it.

This kind of accounting can easily value the average final year university student in the UK at around a million pounds even if they've never had so much as a summer holiday job.

Sometimes this is enough to buy out the business, other times the attempt runs out of buyers and the price crashes part way through.

If Alice has a plan to save the world and doing so involves creating a company that someone else thinks can be asset-stripped for a trillion dollars, then Alice will be "worth" a trillion dollars.

Of course, I just wrote "Alice" rather than "Musk" because I want to make it clear I don't think Musk is anywhere near this angelic; it's just an illustration.

Ask HN: Headset whose microphone blocks out dog barking?
Hi folks,

I work from home, loving it. Neighbour’s dog barks sometimes. I don’t mind too much, but when I’m in online meetings, the barking is audible to clients - which isn’t ideal if we’re in the middle of recording a workshop.

Is there a headset / microphone / technology I can use to “block out” the barking on the microphone input?

I’m not an audiophile (hence the newbie phrasing of this question).

Thanks!
Charging for access is at odds with the idea of a public town square. On the other hand, I can't help but feel that this will raise the level of discourse. Folks like the idea of free public speech, but then it inevitably becomes (in actual, physical town squares) overrun with religious fundamentalists, political zealots and marketers. What people actually want is a salon.

The advantages of organic for produce are anywhere between dubious or marginal. I would have said there's it's better with animal products, but that's largely owing to the overlap with free range / grass-fed. I don't really care if the grain they happen to eat is also "organic".

In conventional farming conditions are so bad for pork that a large percentage of them die of disease, despite all the anti-biotics, before even heading to the butcher. I feel less inclined to touch that stuff unless it's from a local farm I know. Poultry and beef have their own set of problems.

> Proxmox isn't a hypervisor

KVM is in the kernel, and I specifically called out KVM. If the point you are trying to make is that KVM is the hypervisor, then Qubes is also not a hypervisor because it uses Xen.

But this seems like a very strange distinction to make to me unless you are specifically trying to peer into the inner-workings. At that point you'd probably be saying ESXi is "not a hypervisor" because it has to defer the actual VM deployment to vmkernel.

I don't know of an OS without a kernel.
