> You should be thankful for the EU, they're at the forefront of good things for citizen. It's like California but 20 years ahead.

There are a few good laws/directives regarding consumer protection, however, the EU is going nuts on internet surveillance and policing, resulting in absurd legislations that are going to hurt EU startups and IT businesses and their own citizen's freedoms IMHO.
I wish there was a way to unfuck the EU. It's turning into a totalitarian nightmare. Untouchable corrupt EC. Who are they to police what is and isn't right?
It doesn't just concern Hamas, banning, no, censoring Russian media, previously COVID19, upload filters and artcile 13 (changed to 17) and the dubious votting, now this and chat control incoming.

And we, the citizens have no way to fight back.

That's not democracy.

The Hamas content is valuable to show exactly what Hamas is. Censorship of this material is wrong.
I don’t understand why there would be so many people in Europe that would “side” with Palestinians that this would be a problem.
I had whole comment questioning the usefulness of week before prediction. But prediction like that would save thousands of lives in my area. It is enough to evacuate the unreinforced masonry buildings. It is enough to evacuate the areas of coast swept by tsunami. It would require plans to deal with evacuees.

I still wonder about the accuracy, is it for specific time? It would also need to be reliable that worth evacuating thousands of people. Finally, how well does it work on different kinds of earthquakes?
I suspect most would choose it given an A/B choice.
It's a simple matter of cascading your rounding operations. 0.636 rounds up to 0.64 of course. That four is almost a 5 so round that up to 0.65. Everybody knows that it's fair to round up from a 5 so this is how they 0.7, but these amateurs forgot to subsequently round 0.7 up to 1. Shameful, really.
Even better, as you first suggested, I would go right back to the original title, which is clear and specific:

2 of 5 Bay Area refineries to stop making gasoline

Just having a number in a title doesn't make it clickbait. Sometimes the numbers are what you need to know.

And it's fine for a submitter to edit the title in the interest of clarity. I think you get a couple of hours to do this.
I think it's in the cable. The user manual shows a cable with a big chunky adapter that slots into a modular port on the back of the meter. It seems that port also supports a Bluetooth module, so I'd guess it does direct digital signaling and the adapter in the cable contains the optical isolation.
Show HN: Stay safe in war zone by notify people what happened in the area
KF has been standard stuff in aerospace guidance navigation and control for quite some time. Stock markets are probably too nonlinear to use linear control theory on.
Hah, yes, I see everyone else has filled you in already. I have several Kalman Filters modelling both linear (conventional KF) and non-linear (Extended) systems in production that were derived primarily from the material in this book. I did have to do some application-specific research for a couple of things, for example 3D attitude estimation is a deep dark hole with many different formulations with different pros and cons, but the book gave me a very solid foundation for being able to take attitude estimation papers from NASA and others and work through the approach I wanted to use.
Ha! Great story. The lack of firm fixed price is truly a bane.

I do think it strange just how much content there is in a week… compared to two years of the war in Ukraine.

I wonder if there is a cause and effect there?
Yeah I'm pretty sure I picked it up on HN :) Am Canadian.
I got to go on a tour of the Lake City Ammo Plant as a Boy Scout! We got to see a mini gun get tested. They said sometimes a deer would run out while they were testing and it went about how you’d expect. Not much deer left. It was pretty cool as a teenager. One of the scout leaders worked there or something.

I was excited about this and seeing a place I know, then realized what the implications of this article are. Oh goodness. A lot of bullets are headed somewhere else.
If the sub entity is us based would it not have to respect us laws ? I wonder if it is because they are remote and not physically in the United States.

Even still I wonder if companies need to be audited on this.
I tried it a few months ago and ReFS ate my data. No indication of why in event logs or SMART data. It had IsPowerProtected set because I have a UPS and I had a unclean restart, I would expect it to lose data, but not to corrupt the filesystem metadata. I had a backup of the data but wanted some recent changes. Refsutil (the official Microsoft tool) didn't help because it has not been updated for the newest ReFS version. I couldn't read most files because I had integrity enable and files failed the check. Hetman's Data Recovery was able to recover most of the data. In later testing I found out that IsPowerProtected is just very unsafe. I have since put some time into testing and sometimes fixing https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs , it is not ready for use yet, but it is making great progress.

To be fair, many users seem to have an almost unconscious reflex to install Chrome, as of there really is no other choice. Microsoft is too aggressive and does not include any other alternatives (and also managed to load Edge down with junk), but I think some pestering is OK.
I sold my laptop that was capable of gaming and now I only use geforce now from my macbook. The fidelity is better. The latency isn't noticeable to me in single player games. And then price wise, for the amount I sold my old laptop I'd get 7 years of cloud gaming at current prices, maybe more as gaming is something I dip in and out of, although my kids are also using it at the moment so I can't dip out.

I've never used it while travelling. So I'm definitely a different demographic to the one you're describing.

from UT's press office, https://news.utexas.edu/2023/10/05/ai-driven-earthquake-fore...

> The researchers said that their method had succeeded by following a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was given a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, then told to train itself on a five-year database of seismic recordings.

One common mistake with timeseries forecasting is leaking the evaluation set. It would be relatively easy to accidentally record the future into a DNN.
> Yeah, they pretty much had a choice, no? I mean, they were allowed to leave the country, right? right?

They are in a war, its not at all surprising they have closed the border to people leaving there country is literally having a crisis over its very existence.

> oh but atleast they could voice their frustration by joining opposition parties? right? Oh well

They banned the pro Russian parties, which is totally reasonable given the current invasion by Russia, you can join any of the other political parties that aren't pro trying to actively wipe Ukraine off the map.

> Oh well but atleast the good comedian has made Ukraine far more tolerant of LGBTQ, right? oh...

What does this have to do with anything?.
The sibling posts figured it out. I have gone from picking up this book to using the material in it in production, using the contents of the book as my primary reference to get from a vague understanding to an implementation I don't think much about because it Just Works.

I also share a video link with many, many, many more people than I ever could convince to buy a game. I might convince 2 or 3 friends to buy a game but I can incidently get 30,000 people to watch a video with a single tweet.

Think of it more like a loss leader. Costco sells hotdogs at a loss because it brings in more than what it costs them.

I'm sure Google/YouTube has crunched the data and came to the conclusion that it isn't worth it anymore but I also don't think data can even give a complete picture. Data can't predict how many people will leave vs subscribe when all is said and done. Results from limited rollouts are not guaranteed to follow in a full rollout.
Crazy how far web design has come. The content of websites was a lot more compacted in the past. And how could we forget the (overly) liberal use of gifs?

It makes me wonder whether people in 2047 will look back on today's websites with the same impression.
Ask the question: "can we replace humans with ML?" That question is closest to being answered right now then ever before. We are on the cusp of an impending future where that answer could be: "yes."
That's an interesting philosophical point. There are definite future use cases for working with distributed or network-based file systems.

But the issue I needed to solve first has always been the one dealing with the purely local aspects of the system. People need to be convinced that this local system is as rock solid as all of the local native systems they're always working with.
Thats a dubious statement - I wrote about terrorist action sympathisers and you wrote about pro Palestine. Nonetheless people have died in france and the army is getting deployed while schools are getting closed in the uk and people told to hide their identity due to said terrorist action sympathisers - which btw have _nothing_ in common with plastine “freedom”.
We could always just nationalize it. It qualifies as a public service.

Maybe a small airline could analyze demographics of certain routes/times and carve out a niche serving upper class clientele or something.
I've had the same ad-blocker for ages, and I wasn't receiving any of the YT anti-ad block popups until today. Interestingly, today was when I switched my default search engine in Chrome from Google to Kagi. I have to wonder if there is some kind of evaluation of what Google-y things you use for whether the ad-block popup occurs or not.
i do this too, but also do the negative. keep trying to tell it to never use semicolons in javascript etc. have no clue if this would ever work.
> Google will naturally argue that those watching YouTube for free need to offer something in the way of monetization for the company, and if they don’t want ads, then they should subscribe to YouTube Premium

Thats because YouTube revenue needs to grow, in perpituity, not stay at some OK profitable and sustainable level.
Already are hurting. Example PSD2, I can't automate checking bank transactions anymore without paying for a 3rd party.

I can't offer free webspace with ads or host anything free anymore because I'm now responsible if the user writes anything unlawful.

Just 2 things.
I wonder if they paid to cancel or if there is a free exit clause in the contracts.
The article seems to conflate accuracy and recall:

> AI-powered earthquake forecasting scores 70% accuracy

> The AI accurately predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance, with 14 forecasts coming true within 200 miles of their estimated locations and matching their anticipated magnitudes. However, it issued eight false warnings and missed one earthquake.

The precision was 14/(14+8) (64%) and recall was 14/(14+1) (93%) which means the F1 score was .756. The accuracy was 14/(14+8+1) (61%). I'm not sure where they got the 70% from, perhaps a different F metric. In any event, it's clear the author is confused about the terminology.
I’ve been convinced since ‘91 that they Monty Hall problem will eventually get added to the list.

If I were king, I would swap for the regular formulation again, and add a $1 a gallon state tax, and use that to invest in the electrical grid and public charging.
Indeed. Consider this video, for example: https://twitter.com/Natsecjeff/status/1397186381756125184

This is certainly Hamas-created propaganda. I could see it inciting someone to join the cause. Yet it reveals that Hamas proudly digs up water pipes donated as humanitarian aid, to turn them into weapons of war. Is society better off if the government prevents this video from being shared?
While we're on the topic of unfucking youtube, do you know how I can turn shorts crappy player without controls into something that I can rewind? Sound volume controls would be nice too.
Yeah, we really really need more competition in this space in particular.

Google has been supporting Russian language quite competently since early 2000s. Yandex still remained quite popular in Russia. Google has been supporting Czech reasonably, AFAICT, but Seznam stayed and stays popular in Czechia.

Google may seem to have secured an unassailable position as a search engine, but DuckDuckGo and Kagi somehow found success despite that, banking on Google's shortcomings.

If something holds back an appearance of a German-built or a French-built web search engine, it's likely not the Google's hegemony, and of course not a lack of scientific and engineering talent, but some other reasons.
I bought an M1 Macbook right when they came out and don't see the need to upgrade for another few years. Probably one of the best bang-for-buck purchases I've made in the recent past.
I find this promising. There are some weak points to highlight (not to criticize, but to help development).

What I don't like is that there are more ways to declare what a name means. Variables:

var x = ...
int x = ...

And even functions:

fn f()...
var f = fn()...

It makes reading someone else's code difficult. When I want to know what an identifier is, I scan the code until I find its declaration. I might do it manually or via some macros of my editor, but the fact that such declaration can appear in different forms makes things difficult.

Besides, looking for the first time at a piece of code it's not immediately clear if an identifier is a type or a variable. Especially in constructs where a variable and a type appear separated by a =, which suggests they are of the same kind:

var box = rectangle {...

My personal preference to solve the two issues in one go would be to use : to mark the type (which could be omitted in case of auto inference) and make 'var' mandatory:

var x : u8 = 27
var y : = 'hello'
var f : fn(int)->int = {

With : repurposed, it can't be used for the return type; I used -> as in other languages.

Now a macro or reader looking for the declaration of x, y or f knows exactly what to look for. Now types can only appear after a : or the keywords 'type' and 'as' (unless the syntax of the latter elements is changed to 'type:' and 'as:').

And talking about 'as', its priority must be clarified:

z = a * -b as int

Does 'as int' apply to b, to -b, to the whole product, or to z?

I like how easy it is to declare union or sum types with '|', but the need to use 'as' and 'let' after an 'if ... is' makes it clumsy. Lazy programmers, the ones that wouldn't check for NULL in C, will simply add a 'let' here and there and perpetrate Tony hoare's billion-dollar mistake.

Finally, I'd like to understand exactly how the parser handles new lines. It looks like they end a statement, but are ignored in other contexts.

If it technically predicts earthquakes but can't tell you which of the earthquakes will be strong enough to warrant evacuation, then will people heed the warning for the big one after they've had a few evacuation notices for imperceptible earthquakes? It's a "boy who cried wolf" problem.

The vast majority of earthquakes are very weak, so predicting the time and area of earthquakes seems worthless if they can't accurately predict the magnitude as well, with very few false positives.
While you joke, at my n-3 job, I was the first hire by a then new director to lead the charge of integration efforts and migrations as they acquired companies. It was a non tech company.

After a few months, I told him and the CTO that they shouldn’t be staffing up a technical team of software developers. It wouldn’t give them an advantage. We transitioned two of the long time Powerbuilder developers who maintained a 20 year old in house EMR to writing reports and overseeing vendors.

We outsourced everything and used COTS and hired contractors when needed.

After that was complete over two years. I walked in and told the director, “you don’t need me anymore you just don’t admit it and are trying to keep me busy”. I had purposefully put myself out of job.

But I had a hell of a story to tell in STAR format when asked at my n-1 job various “tell me about a time when…” interview questions.
This was fun to read but also .. I'm so happy I don't have to touch C anymore.

Someone I know had this coming up in youtube today as well. I previously recommended them adblockers, now I recommended invidio.us
I have issues with seeing this as word salad, simply because in most instances that term is used to describe utterances that are entirely nonsensically, linguistic content so utterly absteuse that one has no hope of deriving any sort of meaning from it other rnsn, well, it's just a bunch of words tossed together. having read the description of the project, as well as several comments here on HN, I personally don't understand how someone might read that and somehow take away nothing from it in understanding. I feel like it is written fairly clearly and effectively, but ofc that's just me and as with all things, YMMV.
Maybe it's something around them charging Google to be the default search engine. If that kind of activity would endanger the non-profit status I could see them creating a wholly owned "for-profit" subsidiary to protect the tax status of the rest of the organization.
This is nonsense. Every chef I know sharpens by hand and they get an insanely sharp edge.
What are the rankings based on? I was surprised to see Proteus in the #2 spot. It's very slow in person, and not like it has the amount of PR that Spot or Atlas do.

Side note, I got to see a full-sized Spot in person. Nothing prepares you for how loud it stomps. They were doing a demonstration on the second floor and I thought the building was gonna collapse.
Add "Woke" and "Communist" and you might actually be on to something.
Oh yeah, no doubt about that. I've observed the same picking back up after injuries, and some version of this whole thing is ultimately what's backing the concept of cutting. Definitely not trying to say that mass equals power or anything. I'm just trying to zero in on the gains while not at surplus thing, because ime I can lift all day but don't gain (as measured by increasing lift capacity) jack shit unless I also eat big. I don't particularly love bulking and cutting, though, so I was kinda hoping there was a trick I was missing.
To expand on my own reply..

Can load 10-20k records(ymmv) in 20ms or under where it would otherwise take 150ms. That can be a game changer based on use case by itself, but if you are used to thinking about what's viable in Ruby or etc it's even more inspiring.

It also supports logical decode which opens a lot of doors for processing transitional events.

Very impressive project; don't sleep on it!

Nobody is going to write blogs anymore. They'll just post ChatGPT prompts that you can run yourself.
It’s a different layer for those though. In each of those other cases, the code paths that diverge per app are not within the app libraries but within the system SDK or the graphics driver.

Those are layers the application has to trust , and also has expectations may change implementations. They’re only accessible as an API.

In this case they were stepping into code they don’t control which is a huge violation of trust
