Sorry I got confused - am I supposed to interpret this as stochastic terrorism, or as the language of the unheard? What about when two teens deliberately run over a cyclist [0], or any of the other black-on-white killings, such as ones VICE themselves reported on [1]? Or when a school board president, his wife, and his children, are threatened for allowing only the US flag in school [2]? Does VICE news share guilt for their promotion of hate [3,4,5,6,7]? Do the schools, when they dehumanize whites into mosquitoes [8,9]?

RIP my laserjet 4000. So many plastic pieces became brittle and finally broke, but it kept on working. Finally a few things went that could not be readily replaced/repaired and I finally gave up on it. It was a sad day. Of today's options, Brother is fine, but nothing compares to the GOAT.
Hi! This is a great product and it is exciting to see that it is growing fast. I applied online as I'm really interested in this opportunity and hope to hear from your team soon!
It occurs to me that QUIC could benefit from a single kernel-level coordinator that can be plugged for cooperation - for instance, a dynamic bandwidth-throttling implementation a la https://tripmode.ch/ for slower connections where the coordinator can look at pre-encryption QUIC headers, not just the underlying (encrypted) UDP packets. So perhaps I was hasty to say that you just need SOCK_DGRAM after all!
I believe that "sometime between 26,500 and 19,000 years ago" is an appositive marking the beginning of the land bridge's accessibility, not the time of migration. What they should have said is that the broadly accepted conservative time frame for migration is somewhere between 14kya and 19kya, as the white sands footprints have dating issues that complicate accepting them at face value. The liberal interpretations of the evidence—especially in northern Canada and Alaska—can push evidence back to more than 33kya—I've seen dating for 44kya, iirc, which is very contentious and not broadly accepted.

That said I don't have a wapo subscription, so that's my best guess.
> nobody outside of tech cares

Yeah i know, hence "So far no one I know outside of tech knows or cares that this is even possible, but I hope sites like this will gradually change that and also change people's perceptions of what has to be a "native" app."

> anybody developing mobile apps knows that almost nobody downloads the company’s app, and it’s just there for vanity and clout

What do you mean here? Did you mean to say PWAs?
This is our hope. If we can help smooth out the messaging / install process, once a PWA is installed most apps will feel identical to a native app for most users. We used to say "web apps are apps" but now we just say "apps are apps" :-P

Yeah, I said that.

You're not the only commenter that has pointed out to me that the model doesn't contain the training corpus; that the model is analogous to a human writer who learns to write by becoming a voracious reader.

I acknowledge that, I think the analogy is fair. The problem is that the memory capacity of the model appears to be humungous; I've never played with ChatGPT, but I understand that it can quote accurately and at some length from a wide range of literature.

By the model, I mean the model behind ChatGPT. I suspect this "memory" amounts to having unimaginable numbers of parameters, i.e. something like overfit. I realize that's just one LLM, and there are other models that are neither generative nor language models, and that have to be much more restrained in what they consider a "parameter".
How do PWAs hold up when it comes to updates or getting a new phone? Will they get re-installed when I set up a new phone?
People come up with the most bizarre corner cases to justify freeloading on other’s intellectual property.

Content is obviously being relicensed as the models are not fully open.

On top of that, it is also being exposed as pay-for-use subscription models without paying anything to original authors. How is that fair use?
Thank you for posting this! Have noted for our team to look into.
I'm in agreement about the need for intellectual honesty. But that honesty requires all prior assumptions pertaining to statements of fact, brought to an argument to be revealed, and those assumptions' assumptions to be acknowledged, as well as honestly assessing the degree of confidence one can place on these assumptions' veracity, must to be discussed. In other words, objectivity is required. Just appealing to authority is dishonest, if you're after truth. Further, one must have a discussion of all potential conflicts of interest of those who are used as authoritative in the discussion. Such as, how strong is their interest in maintaining employment, getting tenure, and meeting requirements (holding to tradition) for obtaining funding for research, etc. Stating rather arrogantly/condescendingly "you mean University of Oxford?" without acknowledging what is really required for honesty, beyond what Institution they belong to; implying that belonging to said institution implies integrity, is bordering on dishonest manipulation of the discussion and mere sophistry. Are you willing to reveal your view regarding the existence of objective truth? If you don't hold to the need for objectivity, I could care less what your opinions are; they only amount to opinion. What metaphysics do you base your world view on? I would guess that it is that God does not exist, or, if He does exist He has not spoken clearly in history. An honest discussion will take some time, and can't exist in a cancel culture, or censorship. I believe that in the final analysis, with our limitations of rationality and experience, an appeal to authority is required; but what authority has the most historical proof and universal reach to back it up and earn our confidence and trust? It can't just apply to the intellectual or elite class, they have proven themselves unjust, corrupt, bankrupt and without clothes.

That’s kinda like asking “If the sky was green tomorrow what would you do?” Well: I guess it depends on why the sky was green, what other effects there were, and so on. So too with your question: there’s so many possibilities that could be “found and verified somehow” that there really isn’t a good way to answer your question. It’s too open to be meaningful.

+1 to Brother laser printer. i had mine for over 5 years and it still works great (i had to replace the original toner cartridge once). i recently had some smudges on printed paper and a quick chatGPT search later i was following Brother's troubleshooting guide which helped me get rid of the smudge (essentially showed me how to clean the print header). i even bought an updated printer for my parents whose old hp laser printer died after a firmware update (there are posts about it in their support forum).
Well yes. If you reproduce passages from a book (from memory or otherwise) and present it as your own, that is copyright infringement. We have lots of well established law about how much things can be similar without infringing.

LLMs that are just spitting out full copies of what they were trained on aren't functioning correctly or haven't been trained on enough content.

>Working solo has its difficulties. For one, my income is somewhat tied to my productivity, and my productivity highly correlates to my state of mind.

Since going back to being primarily a maker after organizing my days around being a manager[1], and being an avid runner, I've redefined my relationship with "motivation" in a way that can be summed up succinctly by author Brad Stulberg: "You don't need to feel good to get going. You need to get going to feel good." I know that I am long-term very motivated, but day to day or hour to hour, "motivation" is a tricky word, because my energy and creativity waxes/wanes.

Agree with the author that structure is the most important thing for me to work around this. Even though makers dream of an open schedule, on the days where I'm off my usual routine, it's really tough to prioritize all the many things always on my plate. It's even tougher trying to decide to peel myself away from work to go for a run that I know will help me focus better after. Making the decision can be emotionally and mentally taxing, whereas if I rely on the default that I just go out for a run as soon as I wake up, the rest of the day just flows from that without the decision fatigue. Time-blocking or even just very simple structure like the OP has has been really effective for me. This includes a hard stop time each day even if it feels like I'm on a roll— my younger self would often borrow against my future energy, and that seemed to rarely work out in the medium-to-long term.

> This is combined with a lack of co-workers. Comrades in the trenches, if you will. And finally there's the ability to not do anything, which can be quite nebulous and dangerous if not managed.

For anyone who is a solo-creator struggling with this, "body-doubling" is a term from the ADHD/neurodivergent community that simply means "doing a task in the presence of another person". Surprisingly, they don't have to be working on the same task to help you feel like you have "comrades in the trenches". If you're interested, check out Flow Club in my bio.

> I guess that's probably true of primary or middle / lower secondary school, but I don't feel like regurgitation of facts was particularly endorsed in my experience at upper secondary level, let alone at university level.

That's because the equipment installed in the galley is going to be tested for operation with the specific aircraft.

Meanwhile phone radios (not WiFi, not Bluetooth) used to have interference issues with various aviation systems (with some 5G bands still causing issues).

Additionally, outside of interference issues from phone systems (and various other non-ISM band radios), the order helps preventing people from doing stupid things with electronics during takeoff and landing, where sudden deceleration can cause things to go awry.
I also find that laser printers are somewhat better at not printing. They're less reliant on daily print jobs to keep their insides from clogging up.

I've had them go missing just by doing an OTA update of my phone, and I don't think it was even a major Android version. Or maybe it was a Play store update of the Chrome app, I forget exactly. But it was one of those things that's not expected to eliminate data, yet it did.

You seem to equate one-off incidents with patterns. That makes anything in the links you've posted pretty meaningless.
Some of the backstory here (it's the funniest fucking backstory ever): it's lately been circulating --- though I think this may have been somewhat common knowledge among practitioners, though definitely not to me --- that the "random" seeds for the NIST P-curves, generated in the 1990s by Jerry Solinas at NSA, were simply SHA1 hashes of some variation of the string "Give Jerry a raise".

At the time, the "pass a string through SHA1" thing was meant to increase confidence in the curve seeds; the idea was that SHA1 would destroy any possible structure in the seed, so NSA couldn't have selected a deliberately weak seed. Of course, NIST/NSA then set about destroying its reputation in the 2000's, and this explanation wasn't nearly enough to quell conspiracy theories.

But when Jerry Solinas went back to reconstruct the seeds, so NIST could demonstrate that the seeds really were benign, he found that he'd forgotten the string he used!

If you're a true conspiracist, you're certain nobody is going to find a string that generates any of these seeds. On the flip side, if anyone does find them, that'll be a pretty devastating blow to the theory that the NIST P-curves were maliciously generated --- even for people totally unfamiliar with basic curve math.

So: pretty fun bounty.
On the other hand, the southern hemisphere is only 150 km away! I used to live there 2+ years, I think I could walk about 100 meters before I started really pushing the sweat. Also after a few months your body gets adjusted, and it is only 95% as bad as it used to :D
Ask HN: Neighbors' kids game interfering with AirPods and JBL
I have this strange bluetooth interference happening- my AirPods Pro and JBL bluetooth speaker both get heavy interference from some neighbor's kids toy / game — simultaneously!

If I'm listening to music, I can clearly hear this kid's video game sound loudly blaring through my AirPods or JBL, on top of whatever I'm listening to. I didn't even know this was possible. The sounds sound like male/female voices saying "hello!" over and over, with paw scratching sounds. Sometimes it's another voice actor saying "yarr" or "shiver me timbers" (anyone have kids / know what this is). I think the voices are in response to a "click on X / get a response" kind of kids game, and the voices all sounds like they're made for a game for 5-9 year olds.

Sometimes this happens when I get home from a run, sometimes around dinner, and sometimes after midnight (kids play games that late?).

I haven't been able to track it down yet (asked a couple of neighbors with kids; they don't know or haven't experienced it, or don't know what game this is).

It's simultaneously very frustrating, very puzzling (didn't know Bluetooth could get overlapping sounds like this), and very hard to track down.

Does anyone have ideas on how I can track this problem down?

Re: Ukraine claims - is that the one where they claimed to have destroyed 4,700 tanks out of 3,500?

MediaZona, an organization run by strongly anti-Putin, pro-Ukraine owners in partnership with the BBC, is going to be the most accurate casualty information you can actually get: https://en.zona.media/article/2022/05/11/casualties_eng

And please, enlighten me: how exactly are they taking that many tank losses when they’re literally dug in, not moving, and have pulled the tanks back? They don’t even have to fight, the Ukrainians are doing a fine job tripping every land mine in the region by themselves.
This is a really interesting and clever way of thinking about it, and I think you've hit the nail on the head! I'm bookmarking this comment.

I've tried to start a bunch of businesses and side projects over the years in that intersection of money and meaning, and in retrospect that's been a big reason they haven't been successful: I created something with value for myself and then tried to find other people that would also get value from it. That's much more difficult, marketing-focused, and roundabout than just doing something that I know creates value directly and trying to find meaning in that.

Yes. It changed how you thought about programming *for the worse*.

Whereas I believe that concepts are tools for programmers to reach for when appropriate, functional programmers believe concepts are rules and reaching for them should be mandatory, no matter how much bullshit they force you to add for no reason other than you accepted from the get go that, for example, immutability should be mandatory.

This is a massive fundamental problem with Haskell and all language that take hardline stances on things that are better left to the users. In this regard, I’d say it’s a complete failure. It’s horrible for teaching. You need to know more than you need to know for Java just to use it. It’s horrible for research. It has hardline fundamental stances that rejects exploration, and therefor is research averse. It is horrible for industrial applications as there are massive ranges of industry that simply cannot give to the whims of Haskell for one reason or another, but probably multiple reasons cause Haskell is terrible.
People tolerate being lied to by politicians because they see it as politicians having to convince others to go along with a plan they believe and agree with. They don't see it as politicians lying to them, it's politicians who they approve of and agree with lying to others to convince them to go along with an agenda they approve of.

In other words, it's okay for politicians to lie because the supporters of those politicians believe they are in on the lie.
I totally agree, the security issue is the biggest thing app stores have going for them. I think 2 things.

1. if momentum goes PWA's way, smart people will work on these problems. I'm not saying I have the answers, but if I can root for either 2 megacorps or the open web, I'm going open web every time. (again, not saying we're there yet with PWAs)

2. If an app store's only function is vetting software, we can have an open market for marketplaces. Anyone can build their own app store and, with enough reputation, become trusted in the eyes of consumer's, just like we trust Apple The difference is in a free market, that 30% and $100 drop dramatically, I would wager to something more like 5% and $0.

At those rates, having an app store where people feel the software is secure, can trust reviews/ratings etc seems reasonable to me. PWA doesn't have to mean otherwise
> For one, my income is somewhat tied to my productivity, and my productivity highly correlates to my state of mind.

What it highly correlates to is your health - mental and physical. I have a friend / colleague who is a successful creator. YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. He does well. But the stress is endless.

Being solo, pardon the cliche, but he's like a rat in the social media platforms' wheel. There's no room for error (i.e., getting sick). Even his "vacations" are driven by what content he can create. The wheel never stops.

From time to time we chat about his "business model". To me it's not sustainable, or it is until it isn't, and then the bottom comes up fast. I've suggested he start to think of himself less as a recording artist and more as the record label. That is., to somehow try to figure out how to be less dependent on being the only rat running (for dear life) in the wheel. He agrees. But in no time at all, he's gotta get back on the wheel. There's no exit other than to shut down, which is no exit at all.

The focus is admirable. But it can also be blinding, and perhaps eventually unhealthy. For as successful as he is, I wouldn't trade places with him.
The geostationary satellites I’m familiar with fly directly over the Equator, no point on the Equator is in Germany. The disposal orbits are geosynchronous and have a more interesting ground track. I think their ground tracks are still equatorial countries.

Geostationary satellites have antennae which are meant to optimize communications with ground stations in certain countries, but they can’t fly over the USA especially.
The most likely reasons he didn't get into Caltech are probably:

1. Caltech is a lot smaller than most of the others, only admitting a little over 400 per year.

2. Caltech puts more emphasis on producing researchers than most of the others do.
This article doesn’t mention anything about arrests and prison time. Is that because this article has a narrow focus, or are those responsible really still walking free?
It's a simple dictionary attack, which is how most password hashes are broken. This has really nothing to do with SHA1 itself.
Nice list, but I think it would be simpler to ask that frameworks support custom outcomes, with user-defined behavior. Most (all?) of your list of outcomes can be boiled down to a few behaviors:

1. Should this result be treated as a pass or a fail?
2. Should a warning of some sort be emitted? (Ex: for FAST and SLOW)
3. Should the result be counted as part of the main test corpus, or as part of some auxiliary grouping?
