So according to you, nothing that anyone has discovered before is a great insight?

Now, regarding the dark matter issue, maybe there are more levels that models can be separated in. It seems overly simplistic to separate the whole immensity of the universe in only 3 levels
In contrast to my comment above about Azure taking care of the people who pay the bills, GCP's design around the billing and understanding spend UX is absolutely the most hostile of the big 3. Their design choices around hardware reservations and aggregating resources in the bill that make it impossible to understand what cost what is frustrating to say the least.
Is Open Source Software More Secure Than Proprietary Products? (2010)
You need a special room as well - you can't accept that someone near your building might end up having his 911 call routed through your test infrastructure.

Alternatively, I think you can somehow connect the device antenna to your equipment, so that the signal doesn't even have to be transmitted over the air (or at the scale of a femtocell). Still, rather "expensive" to setup in multiple locations for just a team that develops a dialer.

Additionally, you'd have to test this across multiple OS versions, and devices. Still doable, but most likely not incentivized by the managers at Google
That tends to happen when the party to be penalized shows how much it doesn't give a shit until it starts to hemorrhage money, because fines are just a cost of doing business. So let the blood flow.
I’ve wondered about something like that. Is it possible to get the number of cpu operations some test takes? I get with modern CPUs it won’t be as exact as when I was counting 8080 operations, but it would surely tell you something.

Or at higher level abstractions, things like how many Python byte codes.
Yeah, probably related to gut microbiota.

I wonder if we'll see a startup selling an api for "finding the nearest open equivalent of a closed licensed photo" for these use cases. with 400$ per image liability, there seems to be some margin for indexing open collections and running search queries on top.

I see little in common between Hoffman’s interface theory of consciousness and merely stating that our minds filter out (lossily compress, etc.) information about reality. Hoffman appears to effectively suggest Kantian idealism: by claiming that perceived time-space and phenomena in it are more like icons on a screen, a representation of some abstract network of conscious agents, he takes a stab at the hard problem and turns materialistic understanding of causality (“neurones fire, therefore I think”) on its head (“I think, and it manifests itself as neurones firing”). Rather than filtering information about some external reality, minds are reality, whereas perceived time-space is a product of them filtering/compressing information about themselves.

Idealism of this sort is quite different from and has farther reaching implications than sticking to materialistic monism and likening our brains to meaty computers that have to filter out input about supposedly objectively existing space-time that they are a product of.
BlackBerry had this too. May it rest in peace.
Was the MySQL change pro or anti consumer? From the sidelines it has been surprising that Oracle has not been doing more to strangle the product.
My Pixel journey from 1 to 6A ended a few months ago, I can't no longer trust Pixel phones. Even though they seem very fast and responsive at first, they're not reliable in many situations like calling 911, getting Wifi signal, receiving calls, ... All of Pixel phones I got since the 1st version have some kind of major issues. I trusted Google with the software and I thought I could continue, but I had to switch to iPhones.
@danseop08 Stuck? What a weird and interesting thing to say since I deliberately chose and applied for jobs I was not only good at, but had the most experience in. And to then add in that I haven't seen anything other than Microsoft to boot?

Don't you think that over a 30 year tech career that I've touched and used many different products and technologies?

The Gamble: Can Genetically Modified Mosquitoes End Disease?

I absolutely loath these free speech strawman arguments.

Nobody is saying prevent people from expressing thought. However meta does have a duty as a platform when it comes to amplifying thought

Pens do not amplify the reach of a post.

These are not one and the same and I think it’s disingenuous to try and equate them.
local humidity levels is just transpiration, which yeah in a valley trapping the humidity can create rain but that's not the same as this cloud seeding mechanism.
Oh god.

I’ve avoided hearing war stories about modernizing excel based companies for ten years. Academically I knew it must still be happening, but emotionally I’d convinced myself everything was daisies and the world had moved on.

Next it’ll be extracting applications from notebooks, I suspect.
Would that not be the actual result of training an llm with real data?
The insanity is with the randomness! Precisely destroying a small part of the brain with focused ultrasounds is almost miraculous for people with debilitating essential tremors and research are underway to fine tune that technique for parkison.

For everyone commenting that they want more songs without drums, https://www.lalal.ai/ is a great tool for splitting stems (vocals solo, drums solo) - software like this is how modern DJ's remix big songs so quivkly without onerous bargaining with labels for stems. Enjoy!!!
Russia's Gas Production Collapses to Late-Stage USSR Levels
One of the challenges on HN is that the United States pretty much singularly has a very strong right to free speech as a part of law. The right to be forgotten is a very direct an unarguable violation of this. It isn't even debatable, and thus we are left debating free speech issues of which Europeans and Americans have very strong differences (in my opinion, anyone who is under an authoritarian government doesn't get to participate in the debate for censorship.)

I don't know what is worse - that, for example, a Norweigen neo-Nazi mass murderer who will only serve 20 years in prison could erase the stories about them and that event ever occuring, or that someone who did something really dumb in college could usurp and override everyone else's right to free speech.

The right to be forgotten rests on the premise that someone can be "reformed" and that their right to erase the past outweighs the rights of everyone else. The basic premise is someone did something really bad or embarrassing and they are too lazy to change their name (I have friends who have done that, due to an embarrassing newspaper article appearing Google.)

I think we are headed toward a bifurcated interest. The reason that countries outside of the US have been able to compel American tech companies to do their bidding, to date, is because these companies are monopolies that generate massive amounts of cashflow doing things which are not impacted by that law (right to be forgotten does almost 0 to Google's income.)

How is this going to work with LLM models? Keyword censorship can be inserted at the input and output levels, but you can make the LLM bypass that. These models will not be re-trained on demand. The open models can not be recalled. I suspect a lot of countries are about to be excluded from the next wave of innovation.
If anyone else is as frustrated as I was with the article mentioning “the DAW” 73 times without defining once what the actual acronym stands for, it’s “Digital Audio Workstation”.
I don't think getting upset is toxic. But when you don't get the response you want from a small open source project, your next steps shouldn't be to encourage more people to bother the developer(s); that's the toxic behavior IMHO.
No, I didn't have it enabled.
I've actually already had that solution architected for years.

Web partitioning.

One is an indexed information retrieval system, purely intended to be a non-commercial/mercantile address space.

One is designed as essentially a business registry. You must be a business (in the legal fiction sense) to be a part. You can advertise to your heart's content in the mercantile web. In the non-mercantile, all toxic/polluting forms of SEO will be pruned with extreme prejudice.

The problem? There's no way in hell that there will not be low-key infiltration efforts by the mercantile side of things into the non-mercantile, simply because that'd be leaving money on the table. Further, the non-mercantile one will probably be so absurdly resource constrained as to eventually be subsumed by the mercantile Net in one way or another.

There's also still the problem of administrative authorities being pressured into intentional distortions of search indexes.
Billions of Rare Minerals Buried Under One of the World’s Biggest Carbon Sinks
Not if you're missing microorganisms. In fact, antibiotics may damage your gut microbiota even further.

The above is just playing with an hypothesis, but there is evidence (unrelated to this case or autism) that gut microbiota is related to psychiatric/personality/mental disorders and stool transplants may help in those cases.
You can then watch coup d'état of governments through whole Western world as their population will struggle to feed themselves.
I am a little tired of commenters lazily flinging this every time something in the infrastructure world comes up that they don't fully understand. Something doesn't become word salad just because you don't know what it means.

I might have problems understanding something -- say, "Comparison of implementations of in-order traversal of an AVL tree in Scala v/s Clojure"; but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a clear and intelligible meaning to someone who gets it.

In this case, I understand the idea here somewhat even without looking at the project. Kubernetes has very flexible auto-scaling capabilities. This seems to be be somehow allowing it to scale across a bunch of VMs hosted using Proxmox, which is an open-source VM hosting platform. There is no word salad about it.
Nesting of flexboxes can be tricky though – especially when you have elements that fill “the rest of the width/height”.

I’ve found that grids are a little easier to maintain a flat hierarchy and avoid complexity, but the downside is it also doesn’t modularize that well – you need to compose all the cells together, some of which probably should belong in a child “component”.
The `&` captures the surrounding variables by reference. This means that the lambda will have access to variables defined in the scope where the lambda is declared, without making a copy of them. In this case, `userId` is captured by reference, so any changes to `userId` outside the lambda would be reflected inside the lambda as well.
Just looking at code that QA or Ops people write makes me unbearably nervous. Look at all of these load bearing posters everywhere.

And those people have been thinking about software their entire career. Domain experts being embedded in Agile teams is not so they can keep an eye on us, it’s so we can keep an eye on each other.
I somewhat agree in that it does feel like more of a problem in YAML than code, and infinitely more of a problem when doing both (template code generating yaml)

But I still don't think there's any desirability for whitespace significance in code. Is there any problem it solves that isn't better solved by having enough structure and standardized tooling for autoformatting like go fmt?
Why the right to be forgotten exists in general: Let's say there was a widely publicised murder in your neighborhood. You get picked up by the police, your mugshot and name get plastered all over the newspapers. It's a mistake. They catch the real perp a few days later and you go free. Now every time someone searches your name they are greeted with your mugshot. You don't get jobs, you don't get to rent an apartment and so on. It's not fair, it doesn't serve society in any way, shape, or form. You should be able to get that information removed.

The same goes, of course, for any drunken party pictures and the likes, which should have no bearing on your life decades later.
What does "objectively" mean here?
Implicit captures may not be obvious and may be accidental, leading to lifetime issues. Without a borrow checker like rust, it's safer to name them explicitly most of the time.
Huh, your tickets aren't just a single vague title sentence and no description body?

Just because someone has a different opinion to you, it doesn’t mean they’re fanboying. Your anecdotal evidence is irrelevant; it’s well known that average Mac ownership costs are lower than the average PC. Straight from the horses mouth: “IBM confirms that Macs are $535 less expensive than PCs”

When you find a bug on windows, which, for me, is about once a week or so, the only thing you can do is open their Feedback Hub app and report it.

In open source software, you can report it and get feedback on your report, and even see progress/timeline (or lack thereof) of it being fixed. The fact that you can say "well i can tell this is a one line fix, let me just PR it" is just an added bonus.
Worth here is the key word. I did an MBA which was specifically designed to get people into consulting, we did many consulting projects for real multinantionals and the key lesson was: "What does the hidden client want?"

i.e. someone has been tasked with getting some consultants to come up with a suggestion, the key question however is what does THEIR boss want to hear. If you can work that out and give it to them then you've earned your 'worth'
This question is the best illustration of why it makes me so angry that the institutions have been so untrustworthy. Without the institutions, you end up in the land of can't trust anyone/anything and choose-your-own-reality. It's not going to end well if we can't make serious reform and right the ship. The worst part is there doesn't seem to be any appetite for doing that, just denial and self-interest.
"... consumption of either diet soda or a comparable amount of aspartame ..."

Of course, it isn't the actual bevarage but one or combination of its compounds.
Fwiw, I use both. I really like both. I said c3 leads was my own experience following this community.

As it was explained RISC v has better support because it's open and can be emulated with qemi/llvm/wasm whereas xtensa cannot. Espressif has tried to address this as a licensee, but they don't own xtensa is owned by Tensilica Inc which is owned by cadence.

Cadence has not allowed details of the JTAG to be published. Because details of xtensa aren't open source licensed. This makes things such as the openocd debugger, probe rs etc aren't as good, and this situation is unlikely to change.

Debuggers are nice.

I'm working on the esp32 c3 embassy-rs support this weekend. I personally prefer the RISCv because I think it is easier to emulate and not need to flash a physical device , this means Dev work can move faster with better tests.

Just my opinion.
At a feature level Bing is super competitive, if not outright superior with their AI search features. It hasn't proven effective yet in becoming people's idea of the defacto search, but it is competing (see Googles humiliating AI launch).
GP comment was about specifically information about crimes. Not sure what precedence is set by the decision mentioned in the article.
Demonstrably terrible results for the simplest of queries, returning drive by malware as preferred results etc, there is nothing subjective about that.
Wow. I consider myself pretty open minded but the idea that trees are releasing chemicals to seed clouds with is more amazing than I could've envisaged.
"trust the science" is usually wielded by people who know nothing about science.

Trusting what a few "experts" say in public now, when it hasn't had time to be tested in the rigorous manner that outs bad science (like Data Colada) is nothing but forced religion.
What I’m most interested in is better understanding how they’re discretizing the presence or absence of autism. I can’t tell if the research tries to distinguish “magnitudes” of autism or if it’s just a binary result.
The dot notation for chaining calls on monads works fine.
The Logic screenshot with "Untitled" is triggering me.
Nudging is real, but I think can only really be detected by large-scale web services a/b, not university scales.
Why is your assumption that the alternative is no curation? Why can’t it be that their curation is bad or has the wrong metrics.

The problem with Meta’s algorithms is that they overindex in single topics with high emotional value. That means you end up getting into unhealthy echo chambers. And unlike other social media (Twitter, TikTok etc) this ends up localizing to your immediate social circle.

The end result is that Meta has time and time again been shown to amplify the most charged positions.

Their curation algorithms are bad. They don’t account for second order effects, only engagement.
Only 34 girls with autism were included in the study that concludes it is linked to autism in males and not females, while the study included 203 males with autism.

The control side was 54 males without autism and 67 females without autism.

Maybe 34 is enough to get that statistical conclusion, but it seems pretty small. It's based on recall of if they had -frequent diet drinks- (edit: cutoff variable was one single diet drink per day) during pregnancy, so it might be being determined by like 15 people for the female side that were diet drink users and more for the controls, further divided by 6 different demographic subsets? Will try and find that number.
You are misstating their position. They said “If Serbia starts a war, I hope NATO goes all the way and finishes it”. Big emphasis on IF. The only party inviting a war in that scenario is the Serbian government.

I’m sympathetic to the instinct to push back on the absurd boosterism (these things are an existential threat to humanity this year), it’s fucking annoying.

But they can do plenty of useful stuff reliably. It’s not “be generally intelligent”, which they are just nothing even remotely close to, but know you don’t dig the LLM hype from that comment? Yeah, they get that every time.
And that is why I don't consider psychology as a whole a science. It simply isn't. Imagine if something like this happened in physics, or mathematics. It would have huge impacts on all work that cited it. In psychology, not so much.

Does this mean psychology is useless? I don't think so, there have been many people helped by application of psychology, but the sooner we take it out of the same category as for example mathematics or medicine the sooner we can move on. I'd love to be convinced otherwise that we as humanity have a chance of understanding ourselves to the point where we can draw meaningful conclusions about human happiness or other feelings/states of mind. However, I think at this stage our chance of accomplishing this is similar to a medieval blacksmith doing a successful root canal treatment on of his dental patients.

I'm definitely looking at the advancements in AI with hope that perhaps replicating our own thought processes in machines will enable us to study them more systematically and to understand them, but these are still early days.

Does Linux have mechanisms in place to properly utilize ecores? Specifically tagging background services so they never jump in priority? Or would it be up to me to manually assign affinity?

I read somewhere that part of what makes the iOS experience better is tight control over how much CPU background jobs can steal.
The output of many professions is bag-of-words emotional persuation. eg. politicians, consultants, sociologists, psychologists, writers, economists, tv talking heads, media in general.

A characteristic of these professions is that there is no accountability for output they produce. It is not like a profession that builds an engine for a car. They can bullshit with confidence and get away with it.

chatGPT will replace all of them - as chatGPT itself can bullshit with the best of them.
Missing piece: And in some languages, a number with a leading zero is interpreted as octal.

> […] better than "trust the science"?

Probably change that to a gradient:

“Trust science more, when it’s been tested by multiple groups, it’s been fruitfully built on, etc.”

I think it is fair not to overly trust any single paper.

Also worth considering the different qualities of evidence in different papers.

Mathematics has the highest form of evidence, being easier for readers to vet and reproduce themselves.

Human behavior the lowest given how impossible it is to isolate all conditions in a human head, and the lack of any reliable overall models of a human mind.
I wasn't in this instance, but am in general. For industry folks they probably don't even realize it's not a word--surprised it hasn't lowercased to daw by now /s.
