> Won't that only help the landlords?

No, estimating tax burdens is more complicated than where it first falls. Depending on how competitive the retail real estate market is in an area, you would expect to find landlords competing for childcare tenants to varying degrees.
> In early builds of Windows 95, the taskbar originally wasn't a taskbar; it was a folder window docked at the bottom of the screen that you could drag/drop things into/out of, sort of like the organizer tray in the top drawer of you desk.

The image is really fascinating to me. The whole taskbar paradigm we're familiar with today started life as what sounds like a quick hack. Draw a bar that draws the contents of a folder in a narrow bar format. Later extend it to hold running applications instead.
-HTOP/Nethogs for system in question
-Same for any intervening boxes
-logs for middle boxes
-web browser for reference lookups
-window for manpages script noodling
-window for debugging
-vim
-throw in some VM's and those hosts may need to be factored in
-frigging email/chat/calendar clients if working with other people.

Yes, I can technically do all of those with one screen, and some screen/tmux magic. Fuck no, I do not want to. KVM can get you some ergo for mux'ing multiple boxes to a single screen. However, I'd much rather have multiple screens to partition my working set across.
Oh, that's a nice one, thanks for mentioning it. I'm personally used to "ps afx", but the "u" does give out some quite useful info... and it's compatible with "f"! So I guess I'll add "ps aufx" to my repertoire.
I'm absolutely sure that will translate into a 1:1 rent reduction for those facilities.

What I think it will more be used for: "Homeschool your kids and get a tax benefit!"
The only viable alternative in my opinion is to do Self-Service Ads(Let advertisers directly buy the space on your site) or do affiliate marketing.

I am doing it right now, it is very time consuming, you have to go on calls, sign contracts, write invoices, find advertisers or affiliate opportunities, compare them against each other etc...
That is true in principle. But as scientific papers, this is supposed to be extremely precise, highly iterated, and thoroughly reviewed content.

If there are very obvious mistakes like a leftover pasted in button text, it calls into question whether the authors (or reviewers) were responsibly verifying the content contributed by a tool that is known to sometimes deliver wildly but subtly incorrect results, and thus the quality of the paper content as a whole.
I've used a majority of the Nexus/Pixel line and have never had an issue either. Anecdotal+1.
I don't disagree, but there does exist a network of people who run childcare services for the public out of their homes. I imagine this is who benefits from the amendment.
And none of those combinations reach 5% of the features Rails provides. These answers are incomplete and hide the underlying problem: You have to tie together 10s of third party libraries or services, or alternatively reinvent the wheel and implement everything from scratch. That's the point.
I think serialization formats should be self-describing.
Here is what bothered me with JS and it might sound very stupid:

The idea to have a node_modules that has tens of thousands of folders/files for the simplest package that I needed to install. Ruby has gems, but they have few files, I can easily know where to go to understand how something works or add a debugger.

But just trying to read the name of all those seemed for me always like a task that I dont want to do.

The language itself letting aside some warts is good, can be enjoyed and good code maybe can be written.
Wait, how do you “cd to it” from within the script? Doesn’t exiting the script take you back to where you were?
Not an economist, but I imagine that the job market for child care workers would be less distorted, even if the general service market for child care is more distorted.
> are the same, just different execution

Sure. But the branding matters. The former seems to provoke a vitriolic reaction in some people that, if widespread, could tank it in a way that the identical effect under the second's branding doesn't provoke.
> There’s nothing at all like the fat is bad sugar is good crime of the 60’s-90’s

It wasn’t “sugar is good”, it was “carbs are good” and this is still a primary component of the recommendations. You’ve given an excellent example of why potential avenues of bias need to be disclosed. Even if it isn’t obvious today that something isn’t scientifically valid, it is harder to identify where errors might be if we don’t know the potential sources of bias. It is worth pausing and asking why these food giant ties were hidden rather if there was no bias arising from the relationships.

But to answer your specific question, I would guess there’s bias in today’s “plate” recommendation with respect to animal products, but this is only a guess as I’m no expert - simply a fan of unbiased experts designing these things.
While technically a market distortion, it is incredibly well-aligned with the human considerations. The people most likely to need childcare, are in many ways those well situated to be involved with providing childcare.

The early child-rearing years are hard, and trying to work during this time is hard. The incentives to just add some extra childcare to your life is possibly less difficult than lots of options for a lot of people.
So, there's a for-profit company selling the SAFe "process"? Does this have something to do with filling in new government checkbox requirements for contractors?

> The people that attacked MGM aren't going to show up to accept cash or diamonds, and Steve Wynn isn't going to hop on a plane to Moscow with a duffle bag of nonsequential hundred dollar bills.

Well not Steve Wynn personally but I mean how do you think the Somali pirates got paid? They literally airlifted them cash. USA does the same thing with Iran as well ...

When you get into the millions spending a dozen thousands on transaction fees is worth it if the transaction otherwise wouldn't occur. Removing BitCoin probably will reduce something like Petya which only wanted ~$300 but it absolutely will not stop MGM or hospitals from being attacked for millions.

> Payment networks are obviously not an option. Visa and her peers are not going to deliver the funds.

SWIFT will absolutely transfer the funds; social engineering to receive wires you're not supposed to is a lucrative crime (i.e. "CEO Wire Fraud"). VISA probably just won't because they'll find a transaction of that much with no collateral as a huge risk.

> Also, the first paragraph of your first link (the Wikipedia page for "Ransomwware") literally ends with "... and difficult to trace digital currencies such as paysafecard or Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are used for the ransoms, making tracing and prosecuting the perpetrators difficult.

I'd rather trace a difficult to track currency with a public ledger (BitCoin) than an impossible to track currency without a public ledger (USD).

Hmm, I wouldn’t think so, but I’m not an expert in such things. If you already have access to that text, you’ve won. I wouldn’t think that would leak any extra information.
Macs are pricier than Windows PCs. I think it's perfectly reasonable for a company to give you a cheaper device that's also 100% capable of performing well for a web development job. TypeScript and React work perfectly fine in Windows even without WSL - manually install nvm and Git, then use npm like you would on any other machine. (Ideally using Git Bash.)

Personally, I use a mix of Mac (job) and Linux (personal) - haven't touched Windows in over a year. But if someone pays me to do web dev and happens to give me a Windows machine, that's fine too.
> Every TM with n states will or won’t halt, and there isn’t any reason to think we can’t prove whether it halts or not.

It's not that there is necessarily any particular TM that you can't prove halts or doesn't halt. It's that you can't develop a TM that can prove, for each and every TMs, whether they halt.
I don’t really think the issue is that fact that ChatGPT (or perhaps another llm) was used.
The issue is that it was not checked. Perhaps they used it just to translate as a final step and did not have a fluent person to check it over (with the requisite level of understanding) LLMs are new, and soon to be superseded by multimodal AI, so the understanding of them is currently quite immature, in both usage and consumption of.
Will these GenAI clusters have similar interconnects and ability to run scientific computing/HPC codes? AI has moved over to ASICS and GPUs nowadays, right? I also have no idea what their interconnect requirements are, but the task seems pretty low communication, I wonder if they can get by with a cheaper interconnect.
I don't think so, but in 2023 "PC" can refer to a whole bunch of different things, and "5150" is precisely clear about what it refers to.
faux is easier to remember
As with all things software: you can't eat your cake and have it. This is a compromise which suits many use cases, but not all. I've experimented with the version that was translated from C to go, and it worked fine for me (low intensity service using the db for auth checks and logging). Sqinn-go will probably serve as well.
"Regenerate response" [1] is what appears at the bottom of every ChatGPT response. It doesn't even mean they clicked on it; it just means they carelessly cut & pasted the response without cleaning it up, which carried over bits of ChatGPT's UI.

Whether or not they used ChatGPT just as a translation service (an acceptable use, in my opinion), in many cases they didn't disclose this usage even when the rules of submission mandated it.

--

[1] I just checked and now it just says "Regenerate". It must have been "Regenerate response" in the past.
> Here's where I have disagreement: an old boss of mine once said "don't worry about the tricks of the trade; learn the trade." That's very contextual, but sometimes understanding the core first makes the rest of it easy.

Seems like you might agree more than you realize! From TFA:

> And much like when debugging a computer program, when you have a bug, you want to understand why the bug is happening if you're gonna fix it.

It sounds a lot like "don't worry about how to fix the bug; learn what the bug is."
I used the "help" command that is included in DOS. Though today is the first time I learned you could have multiple "[common]" sections!
Tell HN: "Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube”
I opened youtube this morning to see a big popup:

- Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide.

Is Assange a journalist? I would argue that there's a difference between someone who just dumps documents on the internet, and one who tries to inform and bring attention to issues. I don't consider folks who leak documents on discord or wargame forums to be journalists either.

From the article: In an interview with the UK TV station, Channel 4, Assange once said: “Other journalists try to verify sources. We don't do that, we verify documents. We don't care where it came from."

Just sharing information does not make one a journalist, Trump is not a journalist for sharing classified info, and I think it's disingenuous to pretend that Assange is wanted for violations against free speech or something.
ARM is a UK company - the UK is (stupidly) not part of the EU
The year before my freshman year of college, the Computer Science department required students to purchase either a DECStation or an Alpha. My year the required hardware was an IBM (literal) PC. I was so disappointed. My 75mhz pentium couldn't play mp3s without stuttering. I still dream about what the Alpha would have been like.

How long until a "conservative" sees this program and says "Gee, we don't need to waste money in free child-care for workers, they can use their own money for that!"?
Well, Nobel Prizes aren't exactly "how we run science, medicine, etc." But perhaps you could argue that chasing Nobel Prizes is a counterproductively strong incentive in those fields (I have no idea if that is the case).
Different kinds of stellar explosions put different fractions of their output into visible light.
I've nothing against women in the workplace, but I do think it sucks that in most families both parents are forced to work in order to make ends meet. Universal childcare is the worst of both worlds - you miss out on all those special moments when your children are young and your kids get to be raised by a stranger. Plus the public gets to foot the bill.

I guess it works if you don't want those experiences and are happier working.
So there's a lot of factors that may or may not help encourage childcare facilities. To me it smells of trickle-down for commercial locations.
If this gets us further from a land value tax, it is bad. Simple as.

100% this is disguised handout for home schooling right wing nuts. Property tax is not a significant burden for regular childcare outfits. "Cash poor asset rich" is not a real problem and anyone telling you otherwise it out to swindle you.
happy to see "Lack of Phishing-Resistant MFA" added to the top 10 here. Moving away from SMS / Push to App MFA to something like a yubikey is a major upgrade to operational security.
Nah, it used aerobraking.
> For example, Instagram was once so nipple-allergic that it prohibited pictures of women in many non-sexual contexts such as breastfeeding, even in cases where the nipples themselves weren’t actually visible. The problem sparked an international “Free the Nipple” campaign. After years of corporate resistance, the protest ultimately forced the company to relax its rules about bare-chested women and transgender people.

More like "Free the Breast". You still can't show a nipple that's not blurred or pixelated on Instagram (many photographers use pixelation, because on the thumbnail, it will look uncensored).
Pretty sure the accepted justification for double-SHA is to prevent length-extension attacks.
But the entire childcare market is run on such tight margins that they all require a model of having a waiting list for children, meaning the market is massively underserved by design.

It would seem to me that this is only likely to result in more childcare workers, making it more accessible to all, no?
A very interesting and quite well written account of how homomorphic
encryption might be used to match, as max of inner products, two
embedded vectors corresponding to query and document.

What still bothers me, or I failed to understand, is that the server
still knows it returned the document "How to dispose of a body", even
though it has no idea what my query was.

That doesn't seem helpful and still leaves the only solution to
private search being anonymity. The search engine never needs to know
who made the query unless it intends to sell them something or spy
on them.
Nope, you're not imagining things. The article actually quite wrong here: kilonovae are so named because they yield ~1000 times the peak luminosity of classical novae (~1e8 Lsun vs ~1e5 Lsun), not supernovae. For that matter, supernovae are themselves also named that way because their peak luminosities far exceed that of classical novae (with the most luminous recorded being >1e11 Lsun). I am not an expert on magnetar mergers in particular but according to the MNRAS paper that is cited, the transient in question, AT 2023fhn, gave a peak luminosity of about 4e8 Lsun (under certain assumptions about wavelength dependence, distance, etc) --- nowhere near supernova territory. Notably, the paper doesn't actually make the same claim about magnetars that the HN-posted article does.

I used to run Windows as a guest os with passthru access to a dedicated disk/drive and it did run great. I could even reboot natively into Windows using the same disk.

I haven't done it again on my upgraded machines and instead use a dedicated Windows gaming machine. Proton should work fine for the games I play as it doesn't need any (incompatible) anti-cheat software--just haven't got around to it.
Employers can require that applicants be a US citizen if it is a requirement to comply with some other law or regulation.
> If you look at the title and think of a different company, that's not the headline's fault. It doesn't even try to reference Unity.

Things don't happen in a vaccuum. The Unity fiasco is still fresh on everyone's mind. For any company anywhere in the gaming sphere to change their prices so soon - is going to draw comparisons to Unity. The fact multiple people are discussing this with you should prove that.

> I am super in favor of automating the step that nobody wants to write, nobody wants to read, and no journal will accept without its presence.

You make a good point. Maybe the bits that can be automated are the zero-value bits, and therefore the best conclusion would be to get rid of them?

In other words, if it can be automated, it's not real content.

I'd be wary of people writing summaries or conclusions using ChatGPT though, because ChatGPT can write very convincing crap that completely misses the point. Someone who is careless enough to forget removing the "Regenerate response" part of the output may be as careless reviewing whether the conclusion truly says what they meant it to say.

As an aside, I've asked ChatGPT 3.5 to provide interpretations of works of fiction of which I know the most common ones (e.g. "this is a parable about [...]", "this is a warning against authoritarianism", etc), and ChatGPT sometimes comes up with stuff that completely misses the point; but if you aren't familiar with the work (haven't read it except for a summary) you could mistake it for a valid interpretation!
Most people today would agree with Mossadegh's initiative and the point remains that he was ousted from power for his nationalization of a western oil company and his inimity with the islamists and the Shah. The US helped in the process. And it's no disrespect to the iranians to state those facts.
Author Pamela McCorduck writes: "It's part of the history of the field of artificial intelligence that every time somebody figured out how to make a computer do something—play good checkers, solve simple but relatively informal problems—there was a chorus of critics to say, 'that's not thinking'."[2] Researcher Rodney Brooks complains: "Every time we figure out a piece of it, it stops being magical; we say, 'Oh, that's just a computation.'"[3]

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect)
Is this actually an implemented language?

As far as I can tell, it's really just a large prompt template for ChatGPT + a very minimal TextMate grammar.

The talk about constraint-solving and stuff all sounds great (in theory), but if you're just prompting an LLM to follow those constraints it will fail a lot.
I would assume folks would use antifreeze when doing sub-zero liquid cooling, that would prevent issues in all but extreme cold. It would have a bit of an impact on heat transfer though...
> I hope it’s being clawed back on their tax returns.

Yes, this happens automatically. Please. Means testing always translates to a mess. We need to radically simplify all this stuff. Flat benefits and simple taxing is a way.

It doesn't makes sense to look at benefits and taxes in isolation, only the net effect.
Although NVMe/SSD drives have changed things a lot, any media creation software is still IO bound in the sense that:

a. you cannot plan to read data from disk on demand, because it will take too long (still!), and it will almost certainly block

b. you cannot plan to write data to disk on demand, because it will take too long (still!) and it will almost certainly block

c. the bandwidth is still a limit on the amount of data that can be handled. It is much higher than it was with spinners, but there is still a limit.
I still don't understand why we have a different term (RAG) for something we've been doing for a while i.e. use a vector db/embeddings coupled with LLM to generate better answers. LLamaIndex (formerly GPTIndex) has been around for a while and the Pinecone boys have been talking about this for months. Is there a breakthrough in terms of the way the pipeline is set up here?
The former! Maybe you can message me, if you wouldn’t mind :)

I'm a bit bias since I don't pay for childcare but I don't have an issue with childcare being expensive as long as the profit is going directly to the workers.

`T: 'static` means that values of the type `T` own all their data (more specifically, their lifetime is not constrained by the lifetime of anything they reference).
