What's so precious about "data"? I don't argue that "things are missing" when the postal service refuses to carry certian things, or when shops refuse to stock certain items, or so on. These are restrictions imposed for our own good, as we apparently can't be trusted with unfettered access to all life has to offer. There is naunce here, but my point is - why does the internet get a free pass when we consider the balance of high ideals of free transfer of stuff against what the stuff is and what it does?

>if you considered what could happen if that approach was adopted

People wouldn't waste time, energy, and soundness of opinion from taking inputs and arguing with unknowns on the internet. Kids wouldn't be able to download abitrary apps that have overall negative impacts on their health.
Don't see them that much here in the UK, but anyone who drives a diesel will probably get their Ad Blu in these things
Big if it works for fertility treatments. No more need for ovary stimulation and ultrasound guided egg retrieval (painful and complications can occur), and the math and need around reproductive tissue cryostorage changes for the positive.

Coming from the author of “you’re speaking from a place of ignorance” (+ other variations), I can only hope you're trolling at this point.

> This means you can't discount that there is no actual difference between safety. This is why data literacy is important rather than just reading the abstract or conclusion and running with it.

Given that the argument being refuted was “US cars are safer” the “no actual difference” case still counts as a refutation. How good is data literacy if you lack logical reasoning abilities…

> The census considers any population over 2500 people as an "urban cluster"

In an area were more than 2500 people live you'll most likely have actual roads and bridges, and don't need a truck to cross rivers or to drive on unpaved roads, so the definition is pretty much on point when we're talking about cars! And then 71% of the US population live in urban areas of more than 50k inhabitants so the smallest urban areas are in fact a small fraction of the total urban population (Edit: In any case, urban population living in areas with less than 10k is just 7M[1] so it's not these 2% of the US pop who make the car market either…).
But yeah, I'm the one suffering from confirmation bias…

Sure, one car able to go to highway speed for vacations and all. But must households don't need two of such cars!

That was a very long way to say "to filter down to the most gullible folks".
This is true in an accounting sense, but generally speaking most people are referring to the definition of "cost-center" as a business unit that does not generate revenue directly, in contrast to a "profit-center" which does.

This isn't a misinterpretation, it's just a different definition of the term based on context.
Not sure people are reading the article, but the point being made is that “blaming AI” is just a smokescreen for a decades old problem that has been punted on for far too long.

If you have a problem with a more advanced tool doing plagiarism — simply because it does a better job, then your anger should be directed toward finding a solution. Less sophisticated technologies have already been doing this via “article spinners” for years. The problem has long been in our faces on popular websites, whether or not AI participated.
Despite the concerns, the Japanese government is considering allowing scientists to proceed with creating IVG embryos for research.

Fujita, who's on the committee the government formed to consider this, supports that.

"The technology of IVG, its purpose is not only [to] have a baby — genetically related baby — but there are many benefits and good things you can know from the basic research," she says, such as finding new ways to treat infertility and prevent miscarriages and birth defects.
Good luck doing that against Telegram. It would simply reconnect and resume the download where it left off.
I'm currently in the middle of building an overly complicated analytics platform where there is a "easy mode" and an "advanced mode" they pick the devices and metrics they want on the graph, and if they toggle advanced it shows the sql it used to create the graph. So then they can edit the sql or do whatever they want.

Giving customers "secure" sql access was a must have feature from upper management, and it was very tricky/a nightmare to get right.

Customers actually liked it though, sql is king.

Advise I would give is make sure your analytics api's data models and queries are well though out and extensible. It makes it very hard to change them and rework the ux.
When Romans wrote letters, they often used the imperfect past to refer to the present, as if the writer is putting himself into the future when the letter is being read, not when it is being written. It is merely a conventional use of the imperfect in Latin, but I'm sure someone has, at some point, given this tendency a label like "epistolary present".

This article mentioned the prophetic perfect is something described by Hebrew grammarians, but doesn't mention if there is any special language feature of Hebrew. Is there some special morphology associated with prophetic perfect, or is this just a label for the use of the perfect, much like "epistolary present"?
I’ll throw my hat into the ring… We are making dagger.io to solve this exact problem.

YAML was always intended to be written by hand. It was originally an alternative to XML for "markup language" although it isn't one. It was used for serialization, but JSON quickly won in that realm. But YAML was used for configuration files from the start. A good example is the quoting of strings, that wouldn't be optional in serialization language.
Thanks for the response. Sounds like the ideal age!
I don't know if SOAP caused it, but since it popularized, every single tool just assumes your XML is specified by a DTD, even though that's the one schema language that nobody ever liked.

I never saw a war. AFAIK nobody ever wanted to use DTDs, but that's what everybody used because it was what everybody used.
Yeah, I wouldn't wade into anything public there - stick to private rooms with your friends. The moment you go into any sort of "I want to meet strangers" in VR setting you're really rolling the dice. I briefly hopped into the "shared lobby" for Big Screen at one point and encountered probably 3 or 4 negative internet stereotypes immediate (14 year old yelling obscenities, someone trying to hump my face, and someone just blasting noise so loud through their mic it was painful). Very much something you would only want to experience with trusted parties.
What do you mean? The problem is single regional databases and speed of light.

Cloudflare moves the application closer to the end user, including the DB, to their edge network.

Additionally, what multiple regions solve ( mostly) is now solved in a simpler way. Cloudflare has no regions, it's a smart fix for a big problem.

I do wonder how they solve compliance ( eg. Storing data in a certain country and not abroad) as far as I knew they were working on it and they most definitely considered it in their design ( old blog post - or at least they are aware of the issue after talking with big enterprises), but I can't find a trace of it in their recent blog posts.
This only holds true if you’re flying at or above the transition altitude. The transition altitude depends on where you’re flying: for example, in the USA and Canada it’s 18_000 feet MSL.

...that they will then sit on, because it still fits the shape of "box."

Everyone is missing the point that the keyboard itself is rectangular/box-shaped. It delineates the boundaries of a territory they can occupy and claim for themselves. Get one of those ergonomic "wave" keyboards that aren't perfectly flat and I doubt they would sit on them.

They like laptop keyboards even more. Not only are they boxy, they're heated.

WSLg(Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI) uses RDP and FreeRDP to work: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hopeful the experience is better than last time I tried Hyper-V enhanced linux experience. I imagine this use case is getting FreeRDP way more attention.

For years I've developed in a Linux VM on a Windows host via VirtualBox. The typing lag on this, particularly in IDEs like VSCode and Rider, finally got to me. So, I moved over to WSL and have to say; the experience is amazing.

Edit: I should say that I haven't used the WSL GUI functionality yet. Been using VSCode's WSL support and it's been amazingly seamless so far. I get native Windows VSCode performance while my project and all its plugins are actually running in the Hyper-V backed WSL linux VM.

In this context, what do you mean by "normal terms"?
Thanks, that makes sense. I think I approached more from the perspective of a library writer that doesn't want to delve into the depth of language to implement transformations/macros. However it does seem reasonable to have a variety of abstractions to be able to express these transformations in a way closer to the target language
About 15 or maybe even 20(?) years ago I could RDP into a Windows server over a crappy mobile phone data connection connected to my laptop on a moving train and get stuff done. It is a phenomenal protocol, when implemented correctly!!

AI, Hardware, and Virtual Reality
If you get the timing right, you could just shoot those at the enemy near the speed of light, and they would explosively decay right as they arrived. If the mass was low enough, they'd be effectively invisible, wouldn't they? Screw antimatter bombs, these would be pretty horrific. Instead of kilograms' worth of matter-to-energy conversion, you could have hundreds of tons worth. Wonder what that would be in megatonnage?

I have ran 5 “test cases” where I would jump on a video call with some friends that are not software engineers but are very technically savvy, and would give them a simple-ish task.
They are allowed to use ChatGPT as well as Google. None managed to do it in 4 hours each, and that was with me giving them hints when the AI would inevitably get into a loop.
The task was to install docker and using docker compose host a reverse proxy with Træfik with self signed SSL, as well as web-server in Rust. All the rust app had to do was read the kernel version of the host machine and return it as html.
I have then ran the same exact test, but this time around, all you had to do was install docker, and with docker compose run a Træfik reverse proxy with self signed SSL, and two other containers, UptimeKuma and Audiobookshelf. No dice, nobody managed to do it.
Not here. I do have an intel CPU though, maybe it's different with an Apple CPU?

Well sure, limit yourself to a tiny area filled with high-priced housing and nobody should be surprised that you find mostly high-priced housing. That doesn't mean that there's not tons of reasonably-priced housing in the area.
I'm not supporting the GOP, but we are $33T in debt with interest rates rising dramatically. We're probably in a perilous position. We need to cut back and raise taxes.

FWIW, I'm well aware the GOP has also contributed greatly to that debt.

That's the key, you absolutely need to design a probe where gravity is the guidance system. My take is a primary probe containing hundreds of hyper reflective microprobes, which scatter for billions of miles into space. After a few decades, the primary probe locates where the majority of mircoprobes went, and now you steer the primary probe into Planet 9's gravity well.
Sure they are. Pop open Redfin in Portage Park. Hell, you can get a detached 3bdr in Lincoln Square for under $400k. (Don't; buy one in Portage or Jefferson Park).

This weird argument seems to come up every 3 months or so on HN; I've only started noticing recently because we spent this year buying a new house, so incongruity of the argument ("you can't get a 3bdr for $400k") leaps out at me.

Who would think otherwise? It seemed pretty clear from the beginning that anything that automatically generates code would act as an assistant rather than a replacement

"If the user does not fully control the software, then the software controls the user."
Yeah I was imprecise in the description here, because I started trying to describe how a mechanical movement works and it went into the weeds really quickly :) More accurately, the balance nudges the pallet fork just enough to allow the escapement wheel to advance, and that advancing motion imparts some of the mainspring's force back through the pallet fork and into the balance, so that it continues to oscillate without dampening.

It's a very clever mechanism, and surprisingly subtle. I can't be the only one who first saw a running mechanical watch and thought "wait, isn't that perpetual motion? How does that springy thing keep going without stopping?" Not magic, it turns out, just very very careful engineering :)

Well, most airlines. I think both China and Russia already switched to SI units (so km/h), and supposedly ICAO recommends using km/h but there is exception for using knots and there is also no end date to stop using knots, so everyone just continues to use knots.
You probably can. I suspect airliner software is appallingly insecure.

Some things in Haskell seem so laboriously interwoven with Category Theory. Take for example representable functors for memoization. Pages of Category Theory to do something dead simple. In comparison memoization in javascript is just throwing things into a {}.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, every word of your comment is the truth.

The purpose of higher education in the US to create a market for student loan debt and generate revenue for states. The US is a capitalist society, and education is not a right, it's a privilege, and student loan debt is a billion dollar industry. We saw how the states nearly rioted over the possibility of being denied the revenue from student loan interest if it was forgiven. Believing education is about educating people is about as naive as believing hospitals are about healthcare, or houses about shelter. All of it is entirely about profit, debt and tax revenue.

So much of how the US works (or doesn't work) makes perfect sense when you realize this. Education, business, tech, government, the media, pop culture - it's all grift, top to bottom. It's all carnies and frauds and sociopaths working angles and trying to squeeze you just a little harder to wet their lips with one more drop of your lifeblood.
Basically, things that are bolted tightly onto 73 million million million tonnes of rock tend not to flop around very much. It's a near-perfect "momentum sponge".

Things in virtual freefall that can flex (and everything can) do so in response to forces (e.g. thrusting, but also heat stresses, say), and will continue to do so if they start unless you take care to damp them and dump them into heat. There's nowhere for the vibration to "go" unless you design one in. Sometimes the structure of the craft itself has enough damping for practical purposes, especially when you take care to isolate large vibration sources (the ISS has a Sorbothane damper for the treadmill, for example), but when your big floppy (i.e. light) mirror surface has to stay put on a nanometre scale, it's not so simple.

It's a bit like the difference between a tuning fork glued down flat to a table and one hanging from a string.

Amen. My current theory: data science. Data science has become much more prevalent in the last decade, and I suspect data scientists prefer English-like syntax because they're not engineers.

Engineers use language like mechanical components. It should be precise, neat, and functional. We're designing machines. I have a feeling that data scientists don't want any of that. They want to use language as a way to describe data transformations in a format that resembles a log rather than functional instructions. Much like SQL.

Oauth2 flow is missing (which should be released by tomorrow), Otherwise you shouldn't encounter any pain points. The app has been in development over 2 years, and community (early adopters) has been using it for over year. It's fairly stable except the occasional blip.

People loved trackbacks and other forms of bidirectional links, like monitoring where a link is shared on social media or checking quote-tweets. They're awesome for commentary and discussion.

The problem was never having 'few uses'. The problem was having too many uses - to spammers, as well as big tech companies trying to enclose social media to profit off walled gardens.
The plane is measuring altitude, which is relative to a reference point, unlike elevation which is relative to sea level. And if the altitude is determined by pressure sensor, musn't it be relative to the ground directly below the plane, anyway?

(Although personally, I agree with the sibling comment that the variability is likely an artifact of the sensor resolution.)
