Paperless has this—when I upload a new file it will attempt to categorize it automatically using my existing tags. The more items I put in each tag the better it gets at categorizing them, so it definitely seems to be learning somehow, though I'm not sure on the details of how it works.

I've never used DT, so it's possible that their system is substantially better in some way.
He talks pretty openly about using steroids in "Pumping Iron" which came out in 1977. He was very candid about it, probably because you would have to be a moron to look at professional body builders and think they were natural.
Why would you want to use this over one of the official docker compose setups? https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/blob/main/doc...

They will also automatically launch if you have docker running at boot. Is it just because you prefer redhat/IBM's docker equivalent stack to the much more common and cross platform docker install?
Sorry, what? Why would you be sending a bunch of poly people anywhere?

They exist as part of our culture and civilization. Is this some form of "the natural order of humankind is monogamous nuclear families"?
That is a fair point. Another reason the rental agency would be really wise to disable it after each rental forcing the renter to agree they understand its limitations when they turn it back on.

The comparison with Lua is the most interesting to me. Most companies I worked for used Python as a shitty proxy or CLI tool, but I never could recommend Lua due to its confusing OO system (meta tables??)

If this language is a valid alternative with a simple struct and a basic constructor, I may recommend it to remove all the Python scripts and their dependencies.
So customers cannot deduct VAT from their personal taxes...
I also doubt that separate ads per township are common in EU. For example, in Los Angeles the city is made from several separate townships with different sales taxes, two shops on the same street may have different taxes because one can be in LA and another in Santa Monica.
> People on HN are smarter than me, and they all seem to hate bitcoin with passion, but I haven't yet understood why. I think it might be harder to recognize its value when it's part of your implicit cultural background: the dollar is money.

Because if BTC is going to be my money for transactions, I actively do not want any of the speculation on its price. It’s not useful for normal transactions if the price can swing as much as 50-100% within a year — some quick searching says BTC started the year around $17k/BTC and is currently around $27k/BTC. BTC currently acts like both a currency and a speculative store of value, and only one of those is really useful if it’s supposed to be the future of money. Otherwise it’s just a more-volatile speculative bet than stocks or bonds or etc that people hope to eventually trade for USD.
Artificial Intelligence is mentioned in the intro, but was it actually applied?
Paperless uses tags and will auto tag based on previous scans. IME it works very well (as long as you have a decently sized library of tagged documents) and seldom do I have to add my own tags. It’s not perfect, though, and sometimes I have to go in and fix some of the tags.

Ahh, thanks. I overlooked that detail. I've fixed it now. :D
From where I've been sitting, big box retailers have been running on the zeal of expansionism for decades now.

No profit? Then by all means they can sit back and let Dollar General come in and capture the retail of a town.

In the past this has generally been bad news for an entrenched retailer and the first signs of fracturing. It's hard for me to care too much though what happens to these big chains.
Wait! There's less!

I have a friend at the Facebook AI Research lab and I assure you they would not tolerate any level of fundamental flakiness from their 8,000 GPU cluster. Talent, opportunity cost, and time to market in general is so crucial in AI no one has any time or patience for the "oddball Linux desktop" experiences people are describing here.

Gaming users may tolerate some flakiness for their hobby but these AI companies dealing in the nine-figure range (minimum) absolutely do not.
> Definitely, Germany strongly believes that a document that hasn't been a physical piece of paper at least once can't be real.

I'm sorry to tell you that is a an oversimplification and especially for documenting expenses as a company/freelancer it's kind of worse.

Last time I checked if you want to follow the tax law to the word you're not allowed to change the medium:

If an invoice came as a paper copy (e.g. by snail mail), this paper copy is the original. If you scan it the digital version isn't.

If an invoice came as a digital document (e.g. a PDF by email), this digital document is the original - a printed version of that digital document isn't.

So if a tax inspector asks for "originals" it's technically almost impossible to provide them in the sense of the law. If even a tax inspector would care is another question.
I'd thought about working on this myself after hearing about "ShotSpotter" on the YouTube channel "Live on Patrol". That company apparently charges quite a bit for those and it seemed to me that using an RPi would be a lot less expensive, so it's great to see you've actually done the work on this.

I live a rural area surrounded by public land and lots of hunters so hearing gunshots is common because there's almost always some kind of game in season, and fireworks are common as well because those are legal all year long here as well.

I found this awhile back: https://www.best-microcontroller-projects.com/sound-origin-d..., but I've not tried to set it up.

I have a few old RPi boards so I'll see if I can get this up and running.
It's a bit like walking into a packed nightclub, and all you see are people fighting, snorting drugs, and barfing on each other. Maybe in some private back rooms there's a meeting of the greatest minds in history, but that won't be the impression anyone gets. Worse, who's going to spend time in an absolute hellscape of a dive in hopes of maybe finding some diamonds in the turds?

I'd rather miss out on the niche communities in favor of a "club" that isn't on fire, there are after all niche communities elsewhere on places like Mastodon, and here.
In my opinion, Bitcoin was just the low hanging fruit.

Proof of Work is probably the way to go, but please make it useful work.
My hot take for a while has been that trusted events are bad UX design. Highlighting text on a page can be treated as a trusted event to trigger things like audio autoplay.

It's a tricky problem to solve, and I guess it's technically better than nothing, but we really should be focusing on surfacing these permissions in a more user-understandable way. There's friction there -- we want to be able to go to Youtube and click a single button and have a video play. But stuff like video autoplay does not make sense to hide behind a user click that can be anywhere on the page or a keypress that can be basically anything at all.

It's too easy of a bar to cross imo; it breaks certain applications and makes them less reliable, but also makes it far too easy to just have a popup banner with an X, and poof, now you have all the permissions you need.
It reads as more of an opinion than accusation. What’s wrong with an opinion?
To extend your examples: why aren't we coupling this to incentives? Car crashes are much more debilitating than bicycle crashes, and most bicycling in the world is done for transport, yet we heavily incentivize car culture.

As a casual bicycle user, you're far more likely to have a serious bicycle collision from being hit by a car driver.
> Isn't the problem in myanmar that we are trying to overthrow their government?

What a ridiculous comment. Mynammar is in a civil war because their own people are trying to overthrow their government, which is oppressive and autocratic.
The main problem with bitcoin is it's fundamentally a terrible currency. With a transaction time of between 30 minutes and 16 hours, throughput of 7 transactions per second, and an energy consumption comparable to a medium sized country, it's an obviously awful currency for anything other than selling large quantities of drugs, ransom payments, or gambling.
My local pharmacy (not any kind of chain) sells homeopathic crap.

It's a nice pharmacy; it's not actually that local, I have to take a bus to get there. It's tiny - basically a corner shop.

UK pharmacies get a fee from the NHS for each prescription they dispense. But I imagine that's not enough to keep them running; they need the profits they make from manuka honey shampoo, argan-oil skin products, dubious supplements and so on.
The article conflated ad selection and search query results.
is "less wealthy" and "poor" the same thing? Is the wealth of a nation the same as equality of wealth within that nation?

These are actual questions i'd specifically want you to answer, since you seems not to be engaging in good faith.
Good job—-this is very clearly written, and must have taken quite a bit of time.
You could be right — about uneven distribution of theft (shrink?).

Nonetheless, with the aggressive inventory practices of retailers these days, whether a theft is reported or not should be of little issue — Target already knows how much stuff is missing.
Not just birds, but with everything else in life, I tend to first check if regulations exist before advocating for (more) regulation.
You say it is inflation resistant, but after a period of massive deflation, it has seen inflation rates that would make an African dictator blush, and now it is back to deflating.

Things that are inflation resistant don’t rise AND fall wildly in relation to gently inflating assets like USD. They have a pricing curve which would be completely flat when priced in real (inflation adjusted == real) dollars. Bitcoin is not that
So Facebook is presented with a trolley problem that have people lives on one track and more profit on the other track, and chose the latter, just as what we can expect from big corporations nowadays.

Not an unexpected decision overall, but it did surprise me how low Facebook can stoop. Like, they didn't even bother to fix their stuff in Myanmar after all these years with Myanmar being the poster child of their hate speech problem!

> In 2022, Global Witness came back for one more look at Meta’s operations in Myanmar, this time with eight examples of real hate speech aimed at the Rohingya—actual posts from the period of the genocide, all taken from the UN Human Rights Council findings I’ve been linking to so frequently in this series. They submitted these real-life examples of hate speech to Meta as Burmese-language Facebook advertisements.

> Meta accepted all eight ads.
> I thought that philosophy has been debunked as a scam after the likes of Sam Bankman and others.

How can a philosophy be "debunked as a scam" by a fraudster being in the news?

Or are you talking about something else?

One can distort and misuse almost any moral philosophy, such as utilitarianism or any other. History is filled with examples.

You may disagree with particular assessments, conclusions, or even the basic tenets of longtermism. Argue against the philosophy if you like.

Pick an existential risk, such as nuclear proliferation or artificial intelligence. Study the risks and the benefits. But according to what framework? Please do some legwork about _how_ you plan on evaluating various possible future scenarios. This is is hardly controversial.

My recommendation is simple: read MacAskill's book. It is a valuable and different framework than a vast majority of people have really considered. These ideas are not widely percolating yet. You don't need to completely agree with it. If you are thinking person, you probably won't.

Now, if you think I'm missing a key perspective or set of facts or reasoning, please let me know. I'll change my assessment based on good evidence.
Why? Is Whole Foods more blessed than other retail outlets?
The detection zone is not vertical enough. Radar is tuned to mostly ignore overhead objects otherwise you’d have phantom emergency braking whenever entering a tunnel, parking garage or going through a pedestrian crossing. It wouldn’t normally have enough accuracy to distinguish between that, and the 1.5m high side of a semi truck.

Modern tech is changing that, but most collision prevention systems of today will not prevent this type of accident. Yet another reason to make guards mandatory. There are thousands of underride crashes and hundreds of deaths yearly, you only hear about the “automated driving” ones because it brings more clicks.
Because the cloud automatically upgrading your cluster is better? I’ve seen that take out an entire cluster more than once.
My back of a napkin definition is that AGI, given the same information and tools as an IQ 100 human, is able to do all of the same tasks that you could ask a human to do, at the same quality level, as well as recall the experience some time later, like a human would likely be able to do.
There are zero wiggle words to indicate doubt or to frame the statement as an opinion.
I live in Seattle, so I feel somewhat qualified to chime in. The article makes a good point that the Targets being closed here are the new smaller urban ones. The few times I have been in them, they are grossly understocked and give off a very unwelcoming feeling compared to the normal Targets like the one in Northgate.

Not to say that’s the reason for closing, because they are certainly in high crime areas that the article’s data fails to represent. Also worth noting that the Northgate one is at the top of a multi level mall structure so crime is much less likely to happen there despite it being a much worse area.
Apologies for talking past each other. Agree with your analysis.
Is there any reason OpenCL is not the standard in implementations like PyTorch? Similar performance, open standard, runs everywhere - what's the downside?
I'm brand new to this. I've got a relatively simple schematic from the 1950s I want to reimplement, to have a functioning thing on my desk.

As you say, a few parts are missing (particular vacuum tubes). Unfortunately, every time I start implementing stuff in kicad, that's where I get overwhelmed... And to someone who's not a hardware guy, I'm completely stymied. Can you suggest what I should do?
Let’s just hope we’re not the dopefish
For CSS and AACS, yes. I was referring specifically to HDCP, which involves negotiation between source and sink devices and AFAIK has nothing like broadcast encryption.
The stage, as well.

I find that since most students just `git add .` (a habit I strongly encourage them to break) and then `git commit`, they don't see why the extra staging step exists or is useful. It's just a nonsensical hoop to jump through.

Have you read the article?

I don't intend to blame developers who use these APIs incorrectly, none of this is easy.
On the contrary I'm trying to explain & review common misconceptions that make developers go to extreme lengths in avoiding these APIs altogether, whereas in my experience mis-uses of these APIs are mostly inconsequential *edit: in comparison to their highly beneficial potential impact*.
Whole Foods is simply responding to market forces. Blame the market, not the Whole Foods.
I doubt it - modern computers are already pretty fast at brute-forcing all sorts of things and the first AGI will be perfectly functional even if it takes a full day to respond, and AGI research requires you to fully understand what you're creating before you create it so full-system testing is something you'd only want to do near the end of the project anyway. At which point you basically want an ASIC.
Sure, but at some point it will be asked to solve those problems and if it's not properly built, could easily arrive at that conclusion from a problem solving perspective. Self interest doesn't have to come into play at all here.

No it can't, why do you think you can impose your personal oversensitive value judgements re. PII on every single user???
>and they all seem to hate bitcoin with passion, but I haven't yet understood why

The dollar buys drugs, it buys guns, it buys terrible things. But it also buys bread and pays your rent.

The interface a large portion of us has had with bitcoin is speculation and cybercrime. "Your computer has been encrypted, please insert X bitcoin to continue" is not a great interface for making someone have a good feeling about a product.

>We lack the perspective of our great grandparents, who lived through the great depression, and understand that the dollar has no intrinsic value, either.

You also lack the perspective that if the economy collapses, particularly a large economy like the US economy your "unpinned" bitcoin is going to behave like it is very much pinned to that dollar.
> What would Servo bring to make web a big jump forward for us users

The biggest advantage would be having a memory-safe browser engine.
That 600MB is the result of millions of years of optimization. For every human genome that exists today there are many other genomes which were tried and discarded over the years.

It also contains a remarkable amount of compression. Even if you assume that a genome contains a complete template for a human (it likely doesn't) the fact that the compressed version is 600MB doesn't really relate to the unpacked amount of information. Especially since the compression has seen millions of years of optimization.
Font shapers would definitely have one of the moments of all time with this one.
The AI wave is doing this, by which I mean it is finally separating the content and presentation of information and allowing the collation and reformatting of substance across multiple entities which today each have their own interfaces.

For example, the entire idea that we visit specific websites and manually compare prices when buying things is ridiculous and misses huge parts of the benefits of using computers in the first place.

Comac is the opposite of quality and the iPhone quality is so high because Apple is able to set and hold their high western qa standards. A domestic industry would have to struggle with the supply can taking shortcuts at every level and that’s much harder of a task. That’s why Chinese concrete is often poor quality, it could be higher quality they know how to make it at high quality levels but it isn’t due to rampant cheating.
Yeah, you start to run the numbers (multiply by 365 days in a year, times the number of buildings in Chicago, times the number of cities...) and you see a mass extinction before next Spring.
It’s not a binary question. Effective regulation (including timely updates such as mandating seat belts or airbags once they become possible) very much is a living ongoing project.
I don't understand why developers of PyTorch and similar don't use OpenCL. Open standard, runs everywhere, similar performance - what's the downside??
Because the product engineering isn't as important as the community and organization. I got excited about Firefox when it forked from Netscape, but since then I have been unimpressed.

Footnote relative to the overall FLOPs.

IIRC, on Perlmutter's GPU partition, 60 of its 64PFLOPs are represented by the GPUs, with the remaing 4PFLOPs, being the CPUs. In comparison, their previous system Cori, had ~3PFLOPs in the Haswell partition and ~30PFLOPs on the KNL partition.

That, to me, indicates that CPU performance is mostly a footnote when GPUs are involved, as anyone who had previously been using Cori and is now on Perlmutter, will not see as dramatic of an improvement if restricted to CPUs but they would if able to use GPUs.
I’ve gotten a lot of value from reading their rating rationale. Sometimes they bring up good points I wouldn’t have thought about. Other times I’ve gotten good values from suggestions like “this electric toothbrush is $40 cheaper than the high-end model from the same manufacturer, but its timer only vibrates and doesn’t make beeping sounds, so you can save $40 if you can live without a beeper”.
