> "Big", "fast", and "heavy" all mean different things to programmers, train engineers, rocket designers, and astronomers, but they all still manage to quantify things.

Love is none of those things though and it's not measurable. What would the units be?

Half a definition is about as close as you'll get but it's the other half you'll never pin down. To paraphrase a cheesy film, you could spend your whole life trying and fail but it still wouldn't be a wasted life.
The jury is still out - there are studies which refute this original geological survey as well, I guess they just haven't made it to Wikipedia yet... either way until we start excavations again, we won't have definitive proof that these are natural structures. Its obviously a politically charged subject ..
Because no one is going to give you five hundred million dollars unless you dress up all your work with words that imply way more than is actually there. The language used in AI fields confuses the non-experts, reporters, bloggers, investors, and the like. Who then proceed to infer and extrapolate and write their own stories about how AI is currently, actively, displacing and replacing expert white collar workers. Those stories then inspire the next iteration of writers/investors to produce yet more bullshit. The end result is an edifice of crap sustained by a feedback loop of fabulists and fantasists.

No, the reason QUIC exists is that TCP is ossified at the level of middle boxes on the internet. If it had been possible to modify TCP with just some changes in the Linux, BSD and Windows kernels, it would have been done.
"Expelling of foreign powers" (i.e. Japan) happened due to WWII ending and China being allied with the winning side.

As for the others, these are modernization/consolidation of power which don't require Marxism to happen. Whether the KMT or someone else could have achieved these without a "Great Leap Forward" (30~45 million dead) is another question, but I think the answer is "probably".
I have been involved in several rewrite from scratch projects. The following projects are always more expensive than the original (probably less than the original counting all the maintenance - but a lot of weird bugs will take years of maintenance to clean up and that was done in the original so it is hard to count that). However once they are done the result is a lot more maintainable, and has a much better UI of a form that would be hard to retrofit to the old. Normally they are written in a better language an the original. (C++ with const correctness is better than C++ without!)

One key takeaway is we as an industry do not enough rewrites to get good at doing them. (I'm not sure that is a bad thing)
Most desert buildings already do white roofs for this reason (new ones anyway), same with commercial buildings. It usually pays for itself in short order. Most available roof coatings now are also white + extra reflective additives.

Maybe it’s due to the rendering of the two large canvases on the homepage. Thank you for your suggestion. I will consider changing it to video.
Most servers should still be able to service HTTP/1.0 requests (although you're right they'll probably just reply with a redirect to the HTTPS site).
Windows powertoys can preview and thumbnail STL files.
People who don’t know how to make sense are more likely to be exploited, than to automate their accidental exploits.
There should be a progress bar showing on the bottom, if there is not, this is a bug and it would be nice of you to report it :).

Large file can take some time but should be loaded at some point, but indeed, no more feedback but the progress bar.

Conversions are hard because you need not only a reader, but a writer too, and they should all be implemented. That being said, I think it would be cool to have another project based on the libf3d trying to go in this direction. It will not be in F3D though.
I sold it for $540 (without using ads). Same specs are selling on swappa.com for $620-$780. My eBay reputation is 100% and the MacBook was 100% clean. Perhaps I could have sold it for "more" using ads, but then all that money would just go to eBay, which I don't think is fair. They already take a final value fee anyway.
It could be part of a clever marketing strategy. If enough people believe isn something they are likely to pay a premium for services that satisfy their beliefs.
I suspect that some of the reviews may not be completely accurate.

"I asked for a flux capacitor but received a food processor instead. But it does make good guacamole."
It's pretty clear the implementation of these 'AI's is not solving a user problem. At my workplace we have mountains of user requests for maybe ~5 key features from years ago that no staffing has been assigned to; instead, the PMs and VPs and Directors are focused on shiny new features (yes, like 'AI') that they can put into marketing materials and get promoted. It's all hype. I have never seen a single customer request for the 'AI' features that these multi million dollar engineering teams are working on now.
The IPv4 traffic gets 'tunneled' between the v4 app and the v4 router over v6.
Conversion to/from heat and electricity is usually quite lossy. There are numerous approaches to attempt to do this effectively, but often things like pumped storage is cheaper per watt hour and similarly (or more) efficient.

Batteries are faster to charge/discharge and more efficient per wh.

Both usually have less loss over time - it’s very difficult/expensive to avoid significant heat loss over time due to radiative heat loss, if nothing else.

Most batteries or pumped storage have much lower losses over time.
Very interesting. Does this approach actually work in practice?

Also what happens if illegal content gets scooped up into the index?
In modern societies the solution here is simply voting - people with similar worldviews group, and advocate for their position. The fringe positions, like advocation of slavery will lose. In the US, the winner takes all makes it more difficult, because you only get two options, and they have to represent views of a broad spectrum of voters.
The Pixel 3 is a good phone. I bought one new and used it for ~5 years. The battery was still going strong and my only issue was the USB-C port stopped working.
so many scams and fake people on Craigslist made me move to Facebook marketplace. They have better algorithms for detecting real people.
So say I go offline for a day, make a change at 12:00, someone else makes a conflicting change at 18:00, I reconnect at 19:00, my change will take precedence? That seems wrong.

Maybe one should take the larger of the server and client times?
Probabilities actually haven't shifted. We've always had videos, and a lot of the videos presented (like the "pyramid" ufo) have mundane explanations, even the tic-tac video isn't irrefutable. We've also always had testimony from "credible" sources like pilots, police and the military. We don't actually have anything more than we ever did, which is a whole lot of nothing. The strongest argument TFA makes is that these are serious men who work for the government and serious men who work for the government wouldn't just lie.

But go ahead and get your hopes up. Maybe this time it'll be different. Maybe this time, real disclosure is around the corner. Maybe this time, even one shred of the vast amount of real and unassailable proof these people claim to have will be revealed. I wouldn't bet on it, though.
Russia’s Shahed-136 Drones Now Feature Tungsten Shrapnel
This article is very confusing. It switches between talking about image duplication and image manipulation. It sounds like the software detects image duplication, ie, reusing an image from some other source. Then there are other references to image manipulation being a problem, but no indication that this software detects manipulated images (unless they mean it finds images that are mostly duplicates, but have been manipulated to hide the duplication).

Tbf I’m an SRE/DBRE who codes in Python, but if I need to test something, I spin up a venv, install what I need, and then am done. I also made a shell function to make temporary venvs that also launch a Jupyter Notebook with whatever packages you want, and deletes itself when done. It works well for me.

To each their own. If your workflow works for you, have at it.
Anecdotally, my apartment building's roof was painted silver-white during the latest renovation of it. I live on the top floor, and I did notice the change: it's less hot in the summer.

This is incorrect. As soon as one incident was found, they would have had to ground the fleet until they had checked all the rest of the planes.

It's not a should, could, maybe, it's a your fleet is not flying if you find a problem like this and haven't checked.
Have you not been on HN long? :)

Complaining about the website itself in some way unrelated to the actual topic (e.g. design, fonts, use of JS, size of download, number of modules, failure on a particular browser, OS, or device, etc) is a time-honoured subject!
The Proof of Innocence (2012)
Ah, I didn’t notice the picture came from Jürgen Schmidhuber. I understand his arguments, and his accomplishments are significant, but his 90s designs were not transformers, and lacked substantial elements that make them so efficient to train. He does have a bit of a reputation claiming that many recent discoveries should be attributed to, or give credit to, his early designs, which, while not completely unfounded, is mostly stretching the truth. Schmidhuber’s 2021 paper is interesting, but describes a different design, which while interesting, is not how the GPT family (or Llama 2, etc.) were trained.

The transformer absolutely uses many things that have been initially suggested in many previous papers, but its specific implementation and combination is what makes it work well. Talking about the query/key/value system, if the fully-connected layer is supposed to be some combination of the key and value weight matrices, the dimensionality is off (the embedding typically has the same vector size as the value (well, the combined size of values for each attention head, but the image doesn’t have attention heads) so that each transformer block has the same input structure), the query weight matrix is missing, and while the dotted lines are not explained in the image, the way the weights are optimized doesn’t seem to match what is shown.
I feel this pain. Photoshop is such a massive beast and really doesn't do anything for me that other programs don't. It's just too ubiquitous to work around without literally budgeting in your hours for having to work around it. -_-
As a recent Kagi user, no thanks, cause it would be Apple only then.
I find people have wildly differing opinions on what normal wear and tear on phone is so it's hard to judge from anecdotes if it's a build quality issue or if they're rough on their phones or on the other side if I'm personally very delicate with my phones.

For my contribution to this anecdata the only Pixel phone I've had die is my Pixel 3 XL that started having weird charging issues and refuses to turn on and charge unless I let it completely passively drain then recharge it after that it only works for a bit, that happened after about 2 years maybe. Tried having it looked at by uBreakIFix and they had nothing. Other than that my Pixel 6 is doing great but I keep it in a case 99% of the time and don't abuse it.
Fun fact: sometimes Amarkdown is translated as 'Amazon down', at least in the Spanish translation.
Perhaps it's a just me, but I've never met someone who uses Affinity Photo as their main digital painting app. The one artist who doesn't use PS actually uses Clip Studio Paint.

I'm not saying it's not a great app (I'm not familiar with it enough to judge it). But if I'm not using an open source one, I'd use the industry standard one.
Is this gpt3.5 Elo a modern chess.com elo ? I feel like there has been some deflation in elo in the last 2 years.
Found it very amusing that the article begins: "WHEN YOU BUY a TV streaming box, there are certain things you wouldn’t expect it to do. It shouldn’t secretly be laced with malware or start communicating with servers in China when it’s powered up. It definitely should not be acting as a node in an organized crime scheme making millions of dollars through fraud."

These things have been the default expectation for Android devices of unknown provenance for quite some time, at least among the technically savvy.
I18N is tricky! Especially when you’re trying to implement languages you don’t know yourself and can’t sanity check your work so easily. Good luck!
After working wireless retail in the early '00s, I will always choose a phone with a high IP rating. Other scenarios I've seen - Phone pushed into sink without realizing while doing dishes and walking away for an hour long phone call, parked convertible with phone in the cupholder, boob sweat, working in a greenhouse going in and out of air conditioning, leaving on a picnic table overnight while camping, water bottle leaking in purse, etc. Also there's utility in feeling confident the phone can survive if you need to wash syrup, baby food, sticky bar residue, etc off it.

You had a problem with your phone number so you decided to create a product for filtering your email by monetizing email messages? This doesn't add up to me.

A lot of the institutional memory is lost if the tech isn’t used. Imagine you’re a new starter at NASA on a new mission to build a new space shuttle. A lot of the people you’d ask for guidance are gone. You would need to figure a lot of it out yourself, except for what’s documented. NASA is not exempt from this, same as any other company that does engineering.
I didn't think you meant that literally, but after paging through a few tens of google image search results for "krita samples", it seems the only thing Krita is actually used by people for is fantasy art.

Compare to "corel painter samples" where the 2nd thumbnail is a fairly impressive Audrey Hepburn rendition

Can't remember the last time I saw output of the style from the first search result being used to sell pretty much anything
I once spoke to a former Republican operative whose assessment of the communication problems we are facing struck me as interesting:

- In the past, the two parties primarily differed in how they thought issues should be tackled. E.g. should the economy be stimulated by cutting taxes or by increased government investment in infrastructure.

- Now many of one party's priorities simply don't exist in the other party's platform. For example, Republicans have no plan for promoting social justice/equality because it's not something that they prioritize at all. Similarly, Democrats don't really have a plan for advancing Republican's "traditional values" priorities.

- Because of this, Democrats and Republicans often talk past each other. For example, Democrats can't work with Republicans to tackle economic justice because, in a manner of speaking, economic justice doesn't exist in Republican's world view.

Even that sounds boring though. And that's coming from another software engineer. I would keep it simple "I make apps". I think that's more likely to get a question back. Try to avoid giving all the info up front
The article claims that the Babylonians "discovered" the Pythagorean theorem, but all it shows is that they (probably) believed it to be true.

Until we have better evidence, it still seems to be the case that (at least in the "West", I'm unfamiliar with e.g. Chinese mathematics) the Greeks were the first to come up with the concept of a mathematical proof that is valid deductively, and not inductively.
Not a whole lot, but the connection identifier will probably make it much more seamless when your phone switches from wifi to mobile networks. Right now, that's somewhat disruptive; with QUIC, you might not even notice.

That's the most heartwarming thing I read today. I am very happy we have technology to mitigate the effect of this horrifying condition, and that your daughter benefits from it. Thank you for sharing.
All of the above. Parts may be real / legit parts that exceeded their official lifespan, or "3rd shift" parts made at the same factory with mostly or entirely the same materials, just not run through QA to save money and given fake testing certifications.

Could also just be a knockoff that's good enough most of the time.

Large flag carriers like Delta also have real staff and processes, and it looks like they're doing inspections and sometimes catching bogus parts; smaller organizations may not do that.
This seems like a pointless back and forth; you all aren't going to be able to square the circle here.
It is a bit weird in that screening started only after bombing... a useful metric would be to see how many times bookings/hijackings were thwarted. (which I would guess many)
I'm pretty much on the same page as you with this!

When it comes to aviation related issues, I tend to assume corporate reasoning to go something like: They make somewhat of a better effort to be sincere, not because they are somehow more trustworthy than in other fields, but rather because of the fear they have if they were caught in a lie.

With something like software, it might suck, but they could generally pay a fine, or testify in front of congress and move on with their life.

With something involving aviation, they could be culpable for the loss of human life, or have a permanent mark of being unsafe ala TWA. This isn't even to say that I would necessarily believe that the executives of these companies would care about the loss of human life, but merely that the risks associated with getting caught are so much higher that, even someone with an inability to feel empathy would understand how damaging it would be to their career - it would be in their best interest to pretend to have integrity.
Dumb question time - why didn't/don't you build Triplit on cr-sqlite? I'm guessing cr-sqlite wasn't on your radar when you started the company, but now that it exists... it would give you joins and access to the whole SQLite ecosystem.

Can I use the familiar HTML to edit and publish web pages?
I had been using DDG for a while now and sometimes still fell back on Google for searches. I would say that Kagi so far has been as good as the Google of about 2-3 years ago.

The primary reason why I switched over is the argument "nothing is free". I am hoping that paying for a search service means they'll respect my privacy. I'm on a monthly plan so at the first whiff of controversy I'm out.

So far so good, but I'm keeping an eye on it.

The root cause of the problem is energy expenditure

> How does that happen? Look at the collapse in food per capita. Right now, every calorie we eat actually contain up to 10 kcal worth of fossil fuel energy. This is an energy return on energy invested (EROIE) of 0.1:1, a wild historic anomaly because we got a one-time inheritance of fossil fuels. As Dr. Tom says in his physics textbook on the subject, “In a sense, we are eating our fossil fuels! It also points to an EROEI of 0.1:1, which is well below break-even. Obviously in times prior to fossil fuels, when we used human and animal labor in our agricultural pursuits, an EROEI less than 1:1 would spell starvation: more energy going in than was recouped from the land.”

Full inspection of user traffic is required to implement:

* Data leakage policy (DLP; insider threat, data exfiltration)

* Malware scanning

* Domain blocking (Gambling, Malware)

* Other detection mechanisms (C2)

* Logging and auditing for forensic investigations

* Hunting generally

I dont see how this breaks security, and of course you also didnt elaborate on why it should be. Assumed TLS MitM is implemented reasonably correctly.

Dont worry tho, zero trust will expose the company laptops again to all the malicious shit out there.
Yes but there are rational arguments in favour or against each of these issues, using values that (almost) everyone can agree on... Minimising suffering of sentient beings, or the continuation of our species for instance.

The hard bottom I hit with religious people is more often a disguised form of "because that's God's will" than a diverging core value.
