Why do you think a paper towel would ignite? This has never been an issue for me. I use a paper towel which often times I can use for my hands or mouth after eating.
Quotes are supposed to be for verbatim searches, so having the search engine "fix spelling" (in quotes because a lot of the time it's not a misspelling, just a specialized term or something like that) in them is kinda counterproductive and it's incredibly annoying when Google does that.

The government is not providing my internet.

I believe the internet should be treated like the mail, but until the government actually steps in and takes ownership of it, they have no business having access to the metadata necessary to route packets, let alone the logs of those routings, and certainly not any additional Metadata that is not part of the routing function

Very nice ideas, please please please someone pick this up!

Doing anything on a mobile device is far more painful than people assume. A generation of people are now unfamiliar with using a PC and although it has its problems, the use cases are far easier.

Are these really solved cases?

- multiple tabs in a browser. Why not put tabs/shortcuts on the desktop (errr mobile top?)

- apps in general, why do they exist at all? Most are just slightly better web pages--ok I know it's just to give Apple&Google gatekeeper status and create a way to get paid for the app. but at a cost to users that is more and more annoying. Why have a mobile aware NYTimes.com AND an app? Ditch the apps where not really needed and do a decent one-page web app instead. No need to update, no special gatekeeper for install. If the first issue was solved, it would make mobile devices easier. I have no sympathy for the Mush burdened x-twitter but if they have a gripe with Apple do a decent web page and no gatekeeper is involved.

- &^&%$#$$% passwords. Partly because of apps in general, all your passwords are hidden from your password manager, which is of dubious value on a mobile to begin with. Typing in that auto-generated password created by a password manager is HELL on a mobile device, text being hell as this article points out.

Such an intriguing observation that I must propose henceforth IBM is redefined to mean this.

A swollen tech company, once emergent and perhaps built from defining a new market but now reduced to trying to maximize profit without the original spirit, now trying to be too many things at once in a search party style chase to sustain growth (even if only to beat inflation), ends up becoming just another “international business machine”.

IBM is like the Roman Empire of tech history now, the “citizens” eventually betrayed when their previously untouchable pension fund was sacked and squandered by new management after the original President who enshrined it had passed away.

spooky AI taking over the world was FUD spread by those with strong vested interests. and to be fair, a many credulous tech-types and their VC handlers were goaded on by this misson to "tame the AI beast". For the VCs it is always a search for the next big bandwagon, and the W3-crypto bust has left some of them licking their wounds.

the reality is that the emperor has no clothes (cant compute). LLM is a great assistant but is not showing any sparks of AGI. Those seeing sparks of AGI are in denial due to vested interests.

In the US, many libertarians are supportive of an unfettered second amendment.

One reason for this support, is perhaps the explicit acknowledgment that violence trumps rules or contracts.

It never leaves your lungs though. In the last 20 years we went from "dust masks are for wimps" to "wow not wearing PPE is terrible". One small silver lining of covid is that even relatively oblivious home owners even wear PPE for small projects now. Smoking OR inhaling large amounts of dust might not kill you, but both are bound to make you miserable later in life. There is already a steep drop off in lung cancer deaths, peaking in the early 1990s. Right now we're down to about 1930s level despite having nearly triple the population.

You can buy a cheap yet very comfortable 5000 or 7000 series respirator from 3M for about $20 and the "pink pancake" P100 filters are another $12. If you're a hobbyist those ought to last you a year, maybe even 5 depending on what you're cutting. I do metalwork as a hobby and I can definitely feel it in my lungs (and taste it) the next day if the garage door is shut and I forgot to wear the respirator.

History's proven that completely false. A well armed militia of volunteers can defeat a much larger, professional, funded military, as the Taliban defeated the US. Similarly no country existing has any hope of successfully occupying the continental United States given how high the rate of weapon ownership there is

This is cool and I applaud the effort but basically no one should use this.

Most folks should use RDS etc. (Yes, it's expensive and has limitations.)

If you need or want to self-host, you need to understand every moving part and how they fit together. The effort and knowledge required to assemble your own setup are essential, and outsourcing them to a magic bundle would be a mistake.

I know about it, but that's a second action (moving it after tapping), or a more difficult one (moving it all the way there via the spacebar touchpad). Most of the time if a tap would put the cursor where I tapped, it'd already be there.

Edit: I just discovered now that if you long-press on the text to place the cursor, you get a little magnified view and it does let you place the cursor in the middle of a word. So that's probably the most efficient method currently available.

For most of the route, it cannot go that fast. It is mid-speed rail, at best.
More like 85+% of the entire iPhone BOM are still made outside China. Most key high-value, high-tech components like OLED display, AP, wireless modem, storage (NAND/DRAM), camera sensors, etc, are designed and manufactured by non-Chinese companies. China makes mostly low-value, low-tech components and assembly/packaging.

You don't need AI to make art like you don't need a camera to make art. But it's likely you can use new tools to make entirely new types of art.

It's also likely new tools will make certain types of art a commodity. People used to need to paint portraits, now they can just take a photo. There will still be some demand for the hand crafted art that AI can produce but it will be diminished.
I've been using a little $220 laptop for the past 15 months or so. Wasn't even the cheapest one at the nearby big box store. Way cheaper than most smart phones. In that time I've learned Python and made like 20 apps, done all the job applications and Google Voicing I've needed to do. I don't even have a working mobile phone anymore.

Plenty of battery life, like 6 hours on full bright. Not hard to find ways to plug it in, draws like 20W from my Jackery 160 which is the smallest model yet big enough to charge it a few times. The computer is not much bigger than a big iPad. I just have a little backpack to carry it in, too small to look homeless (tho I am homeless).

Not that my experience will change the opinion of mobile addicts. It's an IYKYK kinda thing (if you know you know).
The difference with your local municipal dispute is that there's no question that it belongs to a given county. If it were a county dispute it would still belong to the state/province. If it were a state dispute it would still belong to the country.

You only get into full terra nullius when no country will claim the land. Since there is no higher umbrella authority, any police force operating in terra nullius is operating outside its self-professed jurisdiction.

It is mid-speed rail. The top speed is claimed to be 125 MPH.
The problem with changing borders is that most of the time it happens with use of violence. Even if there is an ambiguity about the borders, it’s obviously that the land would be claimed by one of the neighbors.

Personally, I am very against borders(extremely unpopular position these days) and at the same time I’m very against changing borders.

They should have entered politics, and create a community there, Within the framework of the current state. Or find a real unclaimed land that they can defend.
My point is there are other statistical techniques, none of which seems to be utilized against #vibes let's go #RTO
> Rust type system doesn't help when the data resides in a shared memory segment accessed by multiple processes.

This isn't quite true. You can provide a safe abstraction that involves cross-process locking APIs. https://github.com/elast0ny/shared_memory/blob/HEAD/examples... is an example using a mutex guard.

Rust's type system helps more in some cases than others, but you can get at least some help from it almost all of the time.

These are regulations that have already been studied extensively at the agency level. OIRA’s cost-benefit analysis is a second layer of review on top of that.

It’d be interesting to see a cost-benefit analysis of OIRA’s cost-benefit analysis. All the delays aren’t free.
I've been wondering what I'm supposed to do with my third thumb. /s

I just tried using this in a text screen. My first attempt was on the keyboard which added random characters and brought up the little thing at the top to undo, my second attempt was above the keyboard, but my most recent message was a link so I got taken to safari, and my third attempt in a small sliver of the message screen in the upper left worked.

Obviously if you're familiar with it, it's easier to do, but I rarely have three fingers available while I'm writing text on a phone.
As someone with GERD… maybe I’m just putting too much weight in my life an experience, but this right here.

Turns out laying down for hours and having stomach acid wash up into your esophagus and irritating it makes it somewhat unpleasant to eat. It takes me a while after getting up for everything to settle before I can eat.

This also substantially raises my risk of GI cancers.

We know there’s a causal link between things like GERD and GI cancers. This could just be showing a relationship between GERD and skipping breakfast which has a much clearer method of action than “not eating food first thing in the morning gives you cancer”.

> Our legal position supporting our claim is clear: that the territory has never been part of Croatia and falls outside of its borders.

My legal position is that I'm king of the universe, but I've had some difficulty getting recognition by other states.

This will go down exactly how all these silly "sovereign citizen", seasteader, etc. type things go down. People have somehow forgotten that all of our "legal fictions" we've created are just that: fictions. They are general rules that we've set up to manage society, but unless you have the ability to back up your stance with force, or to convince someone else to back you with force, "legal positions" are meaningless.
Connecting to airports as transportation hubs is interesting and makes a lot of sense - gives you access to 24/7 rental cars, air travel, and often rail connections to downtown areas. One thing with traveling on Amtrak in most of America is it plops you in a downtown with few options for getting anywhere.
I have always eyed similar solutions, but getting root access to the Kindle has been getting more convoluted each time: I always chose to not try to avoid being a few days without reading if I bricked it. This is one of the reasons why I wrote this: should work as long as the Kindle has a decent-ish browser.
The whole Liberland micronation project was just a ridiculous publicity stunt and scam from the start.

1. The "unclaimed territory" story is a blatant lie.

2. The land in question (Gornja Siga) is a floodplain. It gets completely flooded with water multiple meters deep every couple of years.

EDIT:

> Define "scam"? Who is trying to scam who in this situation?

Jedlička sold quite a few Liberland "citizenships".
Chevy Bolt, now discontinued, was in the $20K's. In general, EVs won't get cheaper until various supply-chain constraints (eg, batteries) are relieved.
As has been discovered, that doesn't prevent some other state from doing violence to you.

The irony of doing this in former Yugoslavia is astonishing. Yes, states can fragment and borders can move .. at a considerable cost in human life. You can see it happening today in Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the much more visible attempt by Russia to move the borders of Ukraine.
Thanks a lot for this video, best LLM usage tutorial I've seen so far.

At https://youtu.be/jkrNMKz9pWU?si=Dvz-Hs4InJXNozhi&t=3278 when talking about valid use cases for a local model vs GPT4 is: "You might want to create your own model that's particularly good at solving the kinds of problems that you need to solve using fine tuning, and these are all things that you absolutely can get better than GPT4 performance".

In regards to this, there's an idea I've been thinking about for some time: Imagine a chatbot that is backed by multiple "small" models (such as 7B parameters), where each model is fine tuned for a specific task. Could such a system outperform GPT4?

Here's a high level overview how I imagine this to work:

- Context/prompt is sent to a "router model", which is trained to determine what kind of expert model can best answer/complete the prompt.

- The system then passes the context/prompt to the expert model and returns that answer.

- If no expert model is found, just use a generic instruct tuned general purpose LLM to answer

If you can theoretically get better than GPT4 performance on a small models fine tuned for that task, maybe a cluster of such small models could collectively outperform GPT4.

Does that make sense?
cannot edit anymore, but after reading dang's comment, I wish to emphatise that "mother of the Wi-Fi" is a reference to the article content and not the title.

Such achievement has led Lamarr to be dubbed “the mother of Wi-Fi” and other wireless communications like GPS and Bluetooth.
This an extremely weird passive-aggressive flex. The thread basically went, "I think people that notice font problems have something wrong with them." To which I respond, "No, designers and design-y people notice stuff like that." And then to go from there to this is pretty, bwah?
Well the cracks on the Europan surface were already suggestive of volcanism and this carbon dioxide detection is now more evidence for that. Nice
Thanks for sharing! That's unfortunate to see.

Yeah, that's a fair call out. Originally I had written, "My experience was phenomenal. I do not plan on using Uber/Lyft anymore, when possible, until/unless I have a significant negative experience with autonomous driving." My original writing came out to ~6k words which was too long for HN. In trimming it down to 4k I reduced my statement and changed my stated intent a bit. Ah well.
"Junk science" doesn't really capture the nuance associated with this diagnosis.

Although SBS is a highly disputed and contested diagnosis, most medical authorities (Mayo Clinic, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC...) do not recognize any legitimate controversy associated with it. The most notable exception is the Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Assessment of Social Services which published a systematic review in 2016 criticizing the scientific reliability of SBS diagnoses made on the so-called "triad" of subdural hematoma, retinal hemorrhage, and encephalopathy [1]. This report itself generated intense debates.

The difficulty here is that definitions are generally vague and change over time. What does "shaken baby syndrome" mean? An abusive gesture, a medical theory, something else? That alone is unclear.

What is being really contested is the idea that you can reliably infer shaking whenever you observe this "triad" of findings in an infant with no history of major trauma, and no other evidence of trauma (no bruises, no fractures, no neck injury...). This idea was universally accepted between the 1980s and the 2000s. But the science has shifted, to such a point that medical authorities no longer officially support this theory — however, diagnoses are still being made by inertia of clinical practice and criminal justice. Yet, authorities still claim there is no controversy on the existence and severity of abusive head injuries, which isn't really the point. More on this issue here [2] and in this paper [3].

This is a fascinating article that covers something I've thought about plenty of times! Genuinely how often do people take virtually the same photo at the same time? You'd think it'd be more often at places like Disney World but it's fascinating to hear it happened in a scenario like this.
I don’t have the Folio case, but I have a Remarkable 2 and the screen refresh time is not as nice as the Paperwhite by quite a margin. I had actually managed to plug a USB keyboard to the RM2 (can be done, you need to tweak several things and power it) and the experience was quite “meh”. Also on a personal note, I prefer the form factor/size of the Kindle for this. The RM2 always feels flimsy!
Blockchain technology has historically claimed several innovations:

1. Decentralized currency

2. Immutable ledger

3. Transparent transactions

4. Streamlined transactions (no T+2 or T+1 settlement)

5. Borderless transactions (between people in other countries)

6. Microtransactions (transactions a tiny fraction of a cent)

7. Smart contracts

These are innovations, the question is do they solve real world problems without creating more? For example, decentralization is great until you lose your keys or the government wants to shut down money laundering.

I have yet to see a real world benefit from blockchain / cryptocurrency technology. web3 is the closest to reality but I feel like it goes against human nature and the concept of decision fatigue. I don't want Netflix to prompt me, "Want to watch the next episode for 4 cents?"
In a way this says something about human brains.

*Sikh communities across the world are peaceful and positive, not the Sikh religion.

Like Islam and Christianity, Sikhism, too, developed originally as a violent reaction to prevailing social conditions in the region. Religions are social constructs primarily built to give in-group members a sense of belonging and distinction against the out-group. They very, very rarely have anything to do with enlightenment and peace.
