I started writing a reply saying I couldn't imagine such a place (and that I assumed it was about dodging the Post Office's license fee), but it looks like you're right - in researching the reply I found an article[1] from back in 2006 stating that at that time in England only 60% of buildings had entries in the postcode file!

They cite the example of churches that don't receive post, I guess if somebody had a TV there & used it to watch live broadcast TV then the building would need a TV license. I do wonder when the TV Licensing door knockers would show up trying to gain entry... during a church service seems a little inappropriate!

Or it’s a grey area. And at least some direct interaction on relatively short timescales (the same week) without it being easy to ignore (like a repetitive individual alert) is better than none?
Not a hard fast rule either. Brass hose fittings are superior to the black plastic ones that will inevitably crack with uv damage over the typical life a hose sees. Plastic plumbing seems worse than copper that can last hundreds of years, and we will probably be reading about some unhealthy side effects from it before long.
How wide are these stairs, typically? Because I've been in a staircase built by hand out of stone (and yes, I was given this exact explanation for why it was built clockwise, despite it being in Carmel, California, which is not exactly a hotspot for medieval sieges). And a lot of what people are talking about here is laughably irrelevant if the stairs were as steep and narrow as that one was.

It was tight. I didn't have much trouble climbing it, but I'm not sure I could have navigated it at all wearing armor. Falling down the stairs was not an issue because you'd just fall against the curved wall. Passing by other people? Hahaha. Maybe if you were trying to play Medieval Twister.

The defender advantage argument was viscerally satisfying, because you could so easily imagine how impossible it would be to do anything with the inward hand. Which is probably mostly evidence for why the myth persists, whether it is true or false. Though that itself could have applied to the builders or customers of times past. You can build them one way or the other, and here's a satisfying explanation for one even if it pertains to a situation that never happens, so... why not go with clockwise?

Then again, if I were to speculate, I would wonder why the fixation on sieges? If the defensibility argument were true, couldn't it apply to other situations like an attack by the populace or staff? The lord's personal guard might still appreciate the edge.

I can't help but think that carrying beer, torches, or chamber pots ought to be a bigger part of the justification, though.

Yeah, screw GPS, trauma surgery improvements and better prosthetics, IFF systems, radar/sonar, Internet, ToR, Epipens, and duct tape. /s

Really, I get having a generally anti-war position and wanting to spend money on other shit but pretending like there are no positive externalities to defense spending is childish.
Oh they made a disk compression program. Happily, the argument stays almost exactly the same - substitute NTFS for MS Excel. The reason I like that anti-patent argument is because, as far as I've seen, it applies to literally everything in software outside some ultra-niche applications of software that only handfuls of companies use.

The patents from that era were largely junk (famously, Amazon had a patent on having a button that you clicked to buy something). They're all for basic techniques that were going to get figured out one way or another. They were most useful as a tool for stamping on other companies that were figuring out the same techniques at about the same speed for the same reasons. IE, were no use at all for spurring innovation. The idea that MS should owe some company $100 million because they used a specific compression algorithm is serious because of the amount of money it cost them but otherwise stupid.
We had cordless [landline] phones in the early 90s.

What type of latency requirements are you dealing with? (i.e. look up time, ingestion time)

I had a job building cool looking dashboards, and one day the users asked me to add a column where they could put "functions, like SUM and so on".

The most surprising thing to me about DS and Switch homebrew was how approachable they are. For some reason I always imagined building things on them would be wizardry, but it's really not.

Wrong, they do store, and it's certainly not private, and might even be looked at by a human

Mobile absolutely can use extensions. I run them on kiwi. A subset of what's on my desktop, but extensions nonetheless. Every time I wind up accidentally opening chrome, it's eye opening just how awful mobile web is, particularly how many ads you see
Especially since most devs have a specific use case in mind. Coming up with tests that are tailored to your needs will always be more informative than off the shelf metrics.
Yeah, there probably won't be any second-order effects.

There are generally speaking, two interpretations in scifi. I don't really understand the physics, so apologies if I get it wrong.

1. Better known as the "Alcubierre Drive", Compress space infront of you and expand the space behind. Essentially inching forward like the inch worm. (If we presume that visually, the inch worm stays in the hunched position and slides forward because our eyes cannot see it's movement)
Doing this smoothly in theory lets you accelerate and decelerate infinitely.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive

2. Warp space infront of you to create gravity, and pull you forward. Essentially, you make a pot hole in space time, and "fall" into it. This is basically the same Alcubierre Drive, but without the expansion at the rear.

2.1: One version holds that pothole at a specified distance infront of the ship.

2.2: The other version creates the pothole, then removes it before you reach it.
If only the government didn't make it so hard that it's feasible only for large companies. This guy is way too small-time to do that as a business.
We’ve built a similar pipeline architecture for our product. One key thing I’ll mention is that we’re using Shaka-streamer which is a python wrapper around Shaka-packager (which in turn is a wrapper around ffmpeg). We queue our transcode jobs into a redis queue, and use k8s to scale the transcode workers based on queue volume. Lastly, as a few folks have mentioned, we have an experimental on-prem transcoding cluster with consumer grade HW that is pretty cheap.

If you’re interested in working on transcoding I’d highly recommend taking a look at Shaka-packager/streamer.
It's a catchy title that is doing well on this website I don't think your confusion on the title matters much at all
Over the last few years there has been ongoing work to improve this. Including improved pressure detection, multi-generational LRU, large huge page swap and a bunch of other things. Some aren't enabled by default, some need userspace daemons to make use of them.

So out-of-the-box experience of some random distro is not necessarily the best you can get, especially on older kernels.
Thanks for the issue. There’s nothing stopping you from using it in an interactive environment. What else does a text editor do that would make JumpropeBuf not appropriate in an interactive editor? Range queries going on for rendering? I’d be curious to know what requirements you feel aren’t being covered.

Mind you, at the speeds all these systems operate at, all of the rope libraries you benchmarked should be plenty fast enough not to be a bottleneck in interactive editing anyway. Maybe the nearby posters are right; and the biggest optimization issues remaining are those that only come up when handling 10gb+ documents.

I've done a LOT of dark mode work, to the point where I'd consider myself an expert here[1].

I'm not a fan of this. This solves one tiny aspect of the larger problem in a non-scalable way that will inevitably lead to bloat and inflexibility. It's a really a naive approach that hasn't taken into account design at scale, nor the future of where design is heading.

Typically when doing theming, you have two axes - a visual mode axis (i.e. light/dark/high contrast/colorblind modes/etc) and a theme axis (i.e. docs/sheets/slides, each with a different brand color). While this does solve an aspect of the visual mode axis, as soon as you add either a new theme or a visual accessibility mode, you'll be forced to refactor. I see that as codesmell.

I also don't think this helps drive a better future of theming support. If we think about the future of theming, what we see today is a convergence of design patterns. Nearly everyone is doing theming at scale in at least roughly the same way (a semantic token layer that points to different primitive colors depending on the theme), and the differences between implementations continues to diminish over time. The convergence of patterns is a good thing - it means more code can be shared.

If you wanted to actually solve theming, what you should work for is not a constrained helper function like light-dark(), but instead a shared token schema. Today nearly every company has their own token schema and different ways of naming things in the semantic token layer. If we had a shard language here, not only would it be trivial to add light/dark theming (just redefine a few variables that are already provided for you), code could be shared between sites and inherit the theming/branding.

[1] Most recently leading Figma's dark mode stream, and currently leading their variables feature work to enable others to easily do light/dark/etc. I've consulted with 50+ enterprise tier companies on their theming. Also contributed to the W3C design token proposal for theme/mode support: https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/210. Previously worked on Jira's dark mode + a few other projects.
And you probably can’t turn it off in replit education teams if the other feature are anything to go by. Going to have to re-evaluate.
Could do it similar to how sponsorblock works, where it sends a hash that returns a pool of videos, and the extension then filters down to the one that you're actually looking at, locally

This is cool, but it makes me kind of sad how so much time must be devoted to the build setup and understanding the only available (and poorly documented) executable format. Love the content though.
This is something we thought about a lot as well; right now it's just an emoji rating. Once set the picker changes to a checked mark and is not visible to others. The data is stored in the db but not visible to others in the system.

I’m not so sure. From the article, the author mentions that they’re using an internal library from the Go compiler for the disassembly.
Thank you. I agree that even though in the US this stuff is not as available as it could be, it still beats most of the world. That's why I think allowing for patients to report the information is so important. I've taken the first step toward that by enabling comments on each doctor's profile.
thanks! prob the best place to get a sense of it is the youtube videos.

If there was more industry in space, it would make some sense. The problem now is there isn't enough demand for it, and if you don't maintain the orbit for this stuff, it'll cause problems. The most likely problem is that it'll do a uncontrolled re-entry somewhere on Earth and hit someone. The other possibility is it'll wander in its orbit and smash into something else in orbit.

Also, if it's not big enough to monitor it can disappear. Radar makes it hard to track anything that's not huge and actively transmitting.
Small studios absolutely will return to Unity. This whole debacle will be a faint memory a year from now, the marketing machine will continue and indie developers will become entrenched in Unity's C# ecosystem, build tooling, all-in-one package + asset store. Some indies won't return sure, but Unity will continue to maintain it's foothold with indie developers.

They made a custom mold? At their volumes? Are they insane?

They could have powder 3D printed this stuff for a very long time given the NRE on that complex of a mold.

If they needed to control costs, they could have negotiated with a case supplier:

Only after they were shipping enough product to make it worthwhile (100K+ units), should they even think about making a mold.
I had a dive in to it. The docs and info is pretty accessible, the problem comes from the fact that the hardware itself is inherently pretty confusing. Having to understand all these memory banks and graphics modes, etc.

Was a lot of fun though. It's super cool how easy it is to just download libnds, compile the demos and get them running with a $9 flash cart.

Cross tabulations are a fundamental part of statistics, business and scientific analysis. That they aren’t supported by the relational model just means that an RDBMS is not a full fledged analytical tool.
I don't think that would work. The Uber/Lyft thing works because there is such a thing as a pseudo-monopoly pricing strategy that is optimal.

This doesn't work in markets with a large number of actors.

Now... MAYBE it could work if you have a very large fraction of rentals consolidated under a small number of listing services?

"Let's be 'avin you" is much better known as a football rallying cry, isn't it? I'd never heard of it as a police thing.

The most famous example of the phrase I'm aware of is when Delia Smith, a septuagenarian TV cook, exhalted her home Norwich City fans with a drunken slurred voice at half time over the PA system.
Will AI skeptics ever get tired of being BTFO by stochastic parrots?

Gary Marcus' Twitter timeline suggests not.
You can coax LLM's into reasoning. I recall someone on here posting a link to prompts that instruct the LLM to reason through a request, and this improves its output significantly.

I think what our models are missing is recursion on themselves. You and I can be self-referential, and we are capable of meta thought. We are also capable of "internal dialogue" where we speak and reason internally.

The LLMs at present lack even state or memory. Arguably those aren't necessary for "reasoning" capabilities.

I wonder how far off "stochastic parrot" is from what we do naturally. I have an image in my head of how we think using associated words/concepts/pictures for learning and I can't imagine it is too different from statistically associated concepts/words.

This is sort of scatterbrained, and I apologize. I don't have enough time to write a more concise response.
Thank you for the recommendation. I plan to enable geo-filtering via the map. I'll need to figure out what is the best granularity to do so at—maybe county. I might be able to give an option for the granularity too.
Can you save up enough so that if you don't find work for a year, you'll be fine?
Taxing income is much easier, than capital. Capital can flee easily while it's harder for workers with families to move.
This is neat, though I wonder how much cognitive overhead comes from swapping between two languages. IDE support becomes more complicated too, as does all of the other tools we use to improve software development practice and experience.

WASM seems like a better approach. If every language can have a WASM runtime built in and can also target WASM, then the developer is free to choose the language they work with and import a library without caring what language it was written in. I don't know the guts of WASM runtimes, but it seems like their idea for meta-tracing ought to be possible and with source maps, could make for a pretty good experience.

I'm particularly interested in the CUE + WASM work going on. It can lead to a place where the evaluator can schedule the granular code lazily and based on dependencies and inputs.
I believe thats what "or the other thing (which I keep forgetting the acronym for)." was referring to.

Of course this all breaks down as soon as there's an actual deadline attached to the task, with actual negative consequences from not meeting it. Using GP's "if you feel resistance, put it off until tomorrow" method, I ended up putting things off way past their deadlines, which is why I no longer use this approach.
The problem with this idea is that it will just be abused for SEO spam junk, and you'll have to default to hiding all content with the 'non notable' bit from discovery by default lest the entire ecosystem get dragged down by the pollution. At this point, you might as well delete the content entirely, because it's just taking up space and not contributing to the experience for the vast majority of users.

The queues and storage are the foundation on which some of these other integrations can be built on top. Agree fully on the need for LLMs within the pipelines to help with data analysis.

Our current perspective has been on leveraging LLMs as part of async processes to help analyze data. This only really works when your data follows a template where I might be able to apply the analysis to a vast number of documents. Alternatively it becomes too expensive to do at a per document basis.

What types of analysis are you doing with LLMs? Have you started to integrate some of these into your existing solution?
As a prospective PhD student, I greatly appreciate articles like this on hn
Due to having to share a small number of refrigerator size computers amongst all the programmers I started out writing assembler on coding forms by hand. The natural unit of what you can get done in 30 or 40 lines of assembler on one page was quite a good way of modularizing code into functions or subroutines as we called them.

Later when code was typed in at the terminal, I used a notebook and pencil to record bugs one per line which is still the best bug tracking system for initial development IMHO. Checkmark on the line when it is fixed, and capital T when it has been tested as fixed.
the point of Russell's teapot is that even though the teapot (like this myth) is neither proven nor disproven, we should, and do, treat it unproven, because that is the default state until sufficient evidence arises

It's becoming true in most places. Nuclear has been backed into a corner in places like Poland. But if nuclear is a niche technology it has two problems: it won't improve quickly, and it will have a hard time maintaining its technology base and may even regress. As an example of that, the US can no longer make the forged steel pressure vessels for PWRs.

At this point, pro-nuclear thinking is increasingly magical in nature. New reactor types will solve everything, never mind they can't be on the market for a very long time.
I wouldn't call Unity a sinking ship. It's the overwhelming choice of game engines in the mobile market. Raising prices is unpopular and may decrease their share of the market. But there is no way Unity is going away anytime soon.

And I love Godot -- love it-- but it doesn't do all the things Unity does. Even if it did, it would take years to get all the teams to switch. Think how long it took people to move away from Flash!
Yup, agree.
Something tells me there is a fair bit of wiggleroom on the line between "no innovation whatsoever" and "making a large number of my customers situation untenable." I think innovation will continue just fine. Disrupting a business model is not the same as selling software to people under terms that are obviously and immediately harmful. Unless you are really clever and they are really dumb, I guess.
Something patient-initiated should always be possible. Already patients take to Yelp and Google Maps to leave reviews, but they are often taken down by the doctor/business.

I abandoned the thought of "writing to representative" a while back. I can write them a hundred letters that got read by some interns and compiled into a table that at best get a glance. Or a lobbyist can pay $10000 and get a full 2h saying their piece to them over dinner.

Like I said, those who cares already tried. And it has been proven that it isn't enough. The politicians know very well how the environment is and what will come out of it. They aren't stupid. But let be honest here, if your ultimate goal is to be reelected, would you raise tax and implement disruptive measures that does not bring immediate benefits? Your policies would get scrapped within one term by your successor.

Looking at the data we know that drastic changes are coming and they are inevitable. There is no realistic way to avoid it. You can tax all the companies to bankruptcy tomorrow and it would change nothing. That is a fact. So what is it that you propose to be the solution today? Personally, I think it is cruel to make people spend the last of their few years suffering for nothing instead of letting them enjoy it. Either way, we will all suffer in a couple decades anyway. What is the point...
That's incorrect. USB-C design maximizes the device longevity by removing springs from the device that typically get worn down quickly.

The cable is responsible for the grip. You do get a protruding tongue on the device side, but it's well protected.
