You know what, I want to keep the small part of my brain where I can toy with ideas just for me.
So who is going to use this? Do you see your mom ising it? Your friends and family?
I tried it out and I am super impressed by something so small. It hallucinated a lot, but formulated its incorrect answers wonderfully.

It's certainly in the realm of being able to voice a NPC in an RPG game by now, as occasional hallucinations doesn't really matter there.
Tell HN: Is the HN frontpage boring? Use the 'hide' links to remove dull things.
Yes, although there's nuance to that:

If it's for something personal, then sure. It allows me to edit the code to fix small bugs or otherwise tweak it to my own needs.

If it's for something that actually handles my money in any way, then only if I can audit the code myself and the libraries it uses. I err on the side of over due-diligence for sure, and I'm fairly confident in my abilities in auditing code in a few languages that luckily are also commonly used enough that they are ubiquitous - Python, JS, Go, Solidity, etc. If your open source project is written in Brainfuck, I mean, props, but I'm not going to use that for anything production worthy.
> I remember doing well at it (climbed to "higher" color levels than many in the class), but I can't say how much it did to teach me, as opposed to measure where I already was.

I had the same experience in the late 1980s, and I suspect that the SRA system was much more likely to be an effective teaching tool for those who were not like us—closer to (or even below) their grade's reading level.
That's fucked up. I assumed the USA would be the last country on earth to do this.
Not sure if it can do much for resolving the conflict, yet; but I guess it can gain diplomatically from putting its (almost) superpower weight in support of the Muslim countries- at least on matter of Palestine- instead of being openly antagonistic- as the US have always been.
In my URL bar, .apple is bold and bright white, the /le on .app/le is grey and faded.

With modern browsers, I don't think this is a problem anymore. Subdomain attacks and query length attacks have already made browsers put address shenanigans mitigations into the address bar.
Hungary is the least surprising.
This is why we have grifters and fools running our country. Nobody aspires to political office anymore. It’s a huge problem given that the state has a monopoly on force, because this means a bunch of grifters and fools get a monopoly on force.
I wouldn't call it an "issue," but I haven't heard of this sort of creative skirting of the laws in other countries. Maybe it exists?
That’s “lottery ticket = possible jackpot” mentality and doesn’t scale. The flip side and obvious counter argument is that a relatively inexperienced SWE is more likely to be responsible for a bug that could cost a company a lot of money—frankly it’s more likely than the jackpot.
> Hiding functionality is pretty

Going back a long way, this is what always bothered me about UI efforts in the Linux world like the Enlightenment window manager. It seemed like the very definition of “nice house, nobody home.”

The problem boils down to allowing aesthetics to dominate over functionality - form supersedes function. There are plenty of people happy to inflict that on others. I sometimes wonder what they use themselves.
They could use the WebCodec APIs to decode frames using the hardware, similar to how ffmpeg already supports VA-API for hardware decoding.
There are browser addons for pgp, for example. However none have gained big popularity.
It did. Although him buying my little brother a NES 2 years later stung a bit.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in at least a decade.

Nice nostalgia-factor whooshing in :)
Somewhat off topic, but it annoys me that CSS resets kill the margins on p, h1, h2, and ul. As well as the list-style.

I basically don’t use those elements for UI components, and in the rare cases where I would want to, I could just do a one-off to override them. Or, more likely I’d just do something like <div role="heading" aria-level="1">

I find in applications you eventually need some little places where you have some basic document styles: paragraphs, headings, bullets, and it’s nice to be able to use those basic semantic tags for that stuff.
Honestly I see no reason why rust is so focused on Async if they’re C++ alternative (that is smaller runtime), having a unique keyword doesn’t seat right with me, I won’t be surprised if there will one day be a popular GC runtime

> politicians really are the most disgusting people

which one? not those who vote the things we like or against the things we don't like I suppose.

am I right?

politicians are people, made the same way as anyone else, they are different he same way people in the society are different.

you're basically saying that people are the most disgusting people.

If this isn't trolling, I worry about you.
That's a very fair point. I didn't mean to suggest that harm to the patients or subjects was not the overriding factor, nor that bio, pharma, and other medical fields never do RCTs.

But there are a slew of laws and requirements around _how_ to run an RCT across the world of bio-related work, esp as it becomes a product. From marketing to manufacture to packaging, there are strict limits around where variation is allowed, at least anything involving the FDA in the US. (Some would say too many regs, others say not enough).

And in those cases, having a wider collection of ways to impute cause would be great.
Well I suppose it's less verbose than a lengthy style="..." attribute that accomplishes the same thing.
Does it bookmark all windows' tabs, or only the active window's one?
I'm arguing that wealthy people always have access to their representatives and the only way the non wealthy have anywhere close to a similar level of access is by the ability to pool their money and pay someone to advocate on their behalf. The ACLU can only do what it does because they can be paid to act on someone else's behalf full time.

>"here have 200k and swing that bill my way". That's just borderline bribery.

Agreed, and if you have evidence of that happening I'm sure there are plenty of people at the FBI and the FEC that would be quite interested in seeing it. But that's also not anywhere near the same as paying someone to lobby on your behalf.
Don’t lump iOS into this. I develop for that and while they do sometimes do things wrong, I’ve always had a human to reach out to by default - no searching around
I largely agree, however I do believe that it is necessary to reserve capacity for lower latency jobs if the variance in job durations is large.

For example, suppose you have a burst of 1 hour latency jobs, each of which processes in 10 minutes. It will not take many of these to consume all available workers.

If that burst is followed by a single high priority, 10s latency job. Whelp, that jobs latency objective will not be met, since the soonest that a worker will free up to take this work is 10 minutes.

So I think the ideal worker pool design does include some amount of reserved capacity for low-latency work.

A general purpose workers can of course grab low latency work if it's idle! But the reverse is not true - an idle low-latency worker should not be picking up any long-running job.
FWIW, as a Briton-turned-American, it’s always struck me as very bizarre how they start announcing results on the east coast here, while people on the west coast (not to mention Hawaii and Alaska!) are still voting. Surely it affects results?

The practice of the media predicting results based on exit polls and then everyone just treating them as if they're authoritative is equally bizarre.
That's very cool! Can you say more about it or is there a project web site? Trying to replicate inventions from the patent filings must be incredibly difficult. They are primarily legal documents and not technical documents, unfortunately. I feel like you shouldn't be able to get a patent unless you submit full building plans. I don't think software patents are a good idea but if you had to open source the code in exchange for a license, that also seems like an acceptable tradeoff.
Just so you're aware, C++ has three keywords here: co_async, co_await, and co_return, so it feels a bit odd to complain about this aspect, specifically.

Also, as I mentioned below, Rust fares even better than C++ on minimizing allocations here.

C++ is used in high performing network services all the time, it shouldn't be a shock that Rust gets used for them as well.
Linux remains 100% free in all ways.

The first rule of a business is to not do anything illegal before serving their customers.

Where budget airlines exist in the US the fares are comparable, they just fly far fewer routes than in Europe so you often end up paying standard airline prices.

The variety of the US is immense, but its size is immense too! San Francisco-New York is three quarters the distance of London-New York and the western half of the US is practically empty other than the coast.

Looking at my old email receipts I have a lot of £50 each way tickets from RyanAir and EasyJet. My last trip to Mexico was $200 each way (though that was at least twice the distance, Mexico is huge too!)
It is very concerning. However, can they enforce this? How will they prevent me from e.g. connecting to a XMPP or a Signal server hidden behind Tor?

IMHO, they will only be able to spy on regular citizens. Obviously, this is not a reason not to lobby against the law.
Don’t forget increases in microplastics from heavier EVs (usually they’re about 1500-2000# heavier than ICE equivalents) ending up in the ocean https://www.plasticstoday.com/medical/tire-wear-major-source...

Also, with heavier vehicles, you aren’t going to magically be able to use less overall power to drive them. ICEs aren’t as efficient as larger power factories, but they also don’t have dozens or hundreds of miles of transmission losses and transformers to run through. All renewables combined just surpassed coal in the US (report date Feb 2023) but that’s still only about half as much as comes from natural gas: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3

You can use this tool to look up the numbers for your state for total cradle-to-grave emissions for EVs vs hybrids vs ICE https://afdc.energy.gov/vehicles/electric_emissions.html

Public transit would still be an order of magnitude or two better. Bikeable / walkable cities would be better still.

I’m not saying EVs bad, but I am saying that EVs won’t solve climate change. We need to do a whole lot more, and I have zero confidence that we will. It’s just a matter of how bad and how soon. As someone in my 30s, I very much doubt that we’ll get to enjoy retirement with the same standards of living as the previous couple of generations, and as for our children and their children…I don’t think a Mad Max scenario is more than a hundred years away.
Please. Drama is already incredibly easy to invent even when all is objectively well.

Greek tragedy shows the way: systematic problems can make even a group of people making all the "right" decisions (individually) result in disaster.

For examples, I highly recommend the podcast "Cautionary Tales." Start from Episode 1.
There is still an imbalance of power here. The average person doesn't have the means to parse through the mountains of data produced by the entire world, but states and corporations do.

And even if they did, the average person have even less power to do anything about it.

> body, h1, h2, h3, h4, p, figure, blockquote, dl, dd { margin: 0; }

Why?

I mean, I kinda get this on `body`. But I've never understood why people do this on block level elements like paragraphs and headers where default behavior should definitely be margins.

Closest I've ever come to a rationale is so that you'll see the unset margins and intentionally specify them into whatever design systems you're using. But even that doesn't really make sense: if you've got an off-the-shelf design system, it will do that job, you don't need your reset to do it. If you've got the time/inclination to DIY, you are almost certainly the kind of person who will pay attention to this. And if you're neither of those, your reset should do something sane by default.

Resets should be about standardizing sane cross-browser defaults for quasi-naked HTML. This kind of behavior goes beyond that into nuking sane behavior for naked HTML. Why?

Teaching is a skill, which is why we don't ordinarily just let random people off the street start teaching kids. So you may not be any good at it.

Also the kids vary a lot in what they're interested in and what they exhibit a natural aptitude for. You seem to suppose that all the world's four year olds want to learn to read and are naturally good at that, but, the evidence strongly disagrees. If you only needed, say, 10% of your population as literate scribes then relying on this approach would work, but our society is predicated on an overwhelming majority of literate adults.

The council is made up by national governments, directly or indirectly elected in elections which typically have far higher participation and better media coverage than the EU parliament elections. I like the EU and I agree that the parliament is important, but I’m not so sure the council is “not so democratic”. Everyone knows the name of their government ministers, many know the names of their national parliamentarians.

The commission is where we have the major lack of democracy currently. Not sure how to improve without a massive transfer of power to the Union (e.g. an elected president), but it’s a problem worth solving.
> the US military has also not been "losing wars for 70+ years,"

Maybe you don't consider Korea a loss (many do, and not just on Reddit), but Vietnam is a lot less debatable.

And then in recent years you have the 8 trillion dollars (so far) spent in the ME. It's a staggering, unfathomable loss.
Could you explain how sharing data between threads is different in async programming and blocking programming?
Nice, thanks. Looks like it'll be soon.

that's called a trust and it needs to be disassembled
I think there is a lot to unpack there, especially regarding if that is a good urge to indulge, and if silence should be viewed in that light.

That said, what do you think about the idea that many sites already have what you described, including this one.
It’s pretty much an open secret that every Hollywood actor that needs to be muscular for a role uses some kind of anabolic androgen. You see stories like “he put on 30 pounds of muscle for this role in six months” and it’s obvious what’s going on. Also the signature overdeveloped upper traps and that trenbalone “dryness.”

All that being said I’m still curious about the activity efficacy of the dynamic tension method. My understanding is that you basically flex to make your opposing muscle groups work against each other as a training stimulus.
To extend the original metaphor - your mouth doesn't stay shut forever, or you starve. So the idea is more to sink your brain or teeth into substantive thoughts, as you encounter them. It's not about closing your mind/mouth around a new dogma, but about exercising them for nutrition not for pleasure/vice (or letting them atrophy).

I think the "re-closing" of the mind here more represents fitting new information into a new holistic, consistent worldview. New information would obviously require that exercise again.

Chesterton is simply arguing against allowing yourself to be buffeted by the winds of thought trend, to the point you have no center.

Also, many of us started Android long ago and developed deep expertise. The platforms are so complex, its almost impossible to master all of it. So its a huge investment. Google, as a company, has changed drastically since the Froyo days. Technically this could be a "sunk cost fallacy" but its not easy switching stacks and getting jobs with newbie knowledge of new stack.

But if I were to decide today, I would probably choose something else.

The Arxiv[0] paper abstract seems much clearer and more informative than the linked article.

In particular, it points to WHY the mass has been revised down so far -- there's seemingly a lot less mass at 19+ kiloparsecs (about 62,000 lightyears) from galactic center than we expected the galaxy to have. I'm not an expert so it isn't clear to me if the discussions in the paper about dark-vs-baryonic matter are a theoretical explanation of the gap.

Here's a 2019 article[1][1b] describing the mass of the galaxy at 1.5 trillion solar masses. This current research lowers that number to just 200 billion solar masses with a 3 sigma confidence.

Show HN: RSS feed and Twitter bot to track updates of Java Enhancement Proposals
Hi,
Nothing complicated really. In the past years I grew a habit of frequently checking the JEP homepage[0] to see what new features are being planned for future Java versions.
At some point, I decided to automate this, creating an automated twitter account which checks the page multiple times per day and posts any updates to JEPs. It has been running since early September: https://twitter.com/jepupdates

There is also an RSS feed with the same content for those who do not use Twitter: https://rss.xlit.app/updates?feed=jep

Feedbacks are more than welcome.
Thanks.
Best.

Get on the speaking, lecture and conference tour on your topics of interest. If you have talks on youtube or online courses, that will help. Find people to publish some papers with and reach out to dept. heads with your CV. You don't need to show published papers if you're working in defense etc. In general though, get the research/papers conversation started with colleagues and start interviewing (and say you're working on publishing). Assistant/associate prof. bars are kinda lower at lower tier schools, but not by that much. In general, its better to apply to jobs that have listings as internally listed jobs often have a candidate in place for them. Good luck.

I should have been more clear. I meant the video recording. In the video recording, the screenrecording is a little bit behind what the person is talking about.

Yeah, the photos on the homepage just show a very fit, normal guy and it's true that nearly anyone can look like that. Compare it to Arnold Schwarzenegger (who later admitted to using steroids) and it's nuts.

2. Hmm, I guess I can use this to hide uninteresting stuff and then also get new, potentially interesting stuff on the front page.

Presumably people smarter than myself went to #2 immediately...
