I keep my fingers crossed for the revival of the StarCraft franchise. I grew up with the game, and it's kinda sad to see the current state of SC2: old bugs, new bugs, community trying to take over the processes but having a very bumpy ride, opaque decision making (de-facto spokespersons/community figures under muddy NDAs), and unfortunately all our 2010 fears (no local/LAN play!) coming true, when server outages are hitting during in-person tournaments.

SC2 is still the best RTS there is. Immortal, Stormgate, and ZeroSpace are all showing great promise, but none of these is even at the public alpha stage. So SC2, with all of its problems, it is.
I was surprised too!

While I could find some excuses to exclude ARIMA, notably that in practice you need to input some important priors about your time series (periodicity, refinements for turning points, etc) for it to work decently, "prohibitive compute and extensive training time" are just not applicable.

That part is a bit wanky, but the rest of the paper, notably the zero shot capability, is very interesting if confirmed. I look forward for it to be more accessible than a "contact us" api to compare to ARIMA and others myself
Google attribute its success to its search quality. But as a user, I've never done any A/B testing to quantify "search quality". For me, the reason for me abandoning Yahoo for google was because the page was simple and loaded faster.

Unfortunately, this is my takeaway too. It feels eerily similar to crypto where they publish a white paper then attempt to profit off their coin.
>It would make a hell of a lot more sense to me if students had to take dozens of standardized tests demonstrating mastery of all facets of the high school curriculum rather than one great big test at the end of their schooling that measures their ability to remember randomly-sampled fractions of that knowledge.

Wait, if the one big test at the end was randomly sampled well, it would still provide results almost as good as requiring 10 to 30 times the same amount of test time and energy per student. I don't think this cost to benefit ratio makes sense.
There's fuck all that ZFS can do if hardware lies about what has or hasn't been written to disk yet. There have to be points where ZFS blocks until something critical has been absolutely, totally, 100% written to disk before continuing. Unfortunately, USB devices lie all the time.
I just want you to know this was exactly my reaction.

I am working on a programming language, and I can tell you exactly why I’m bothering to write a whole new language, because it is based on all my frustrations spending my days writing code in other languages.

If this language is in the same space as Rust and Go, but different, even saying that (and how) might make me care about this language a little bit. My own language is compile-to-JS but not the same as TypeScript, Reason, PureScript, etc. I would never make the homepage just be marketing buzzwords. Whether I don’t care if anyone uses it or contributes, or I do care whether people take an interest in it, just being real and direct is the best approach. It feels good when someone understands why I’m doing what I’m doing and maybe cares and wants me to succeed because they also have been frustrated about the same things.

Some people aren’t trying to make something specifically new. They are starting a root beer company to make root beer that tastes like root beer, and one day maybe it will be sold in the local grocery store next to the other root beer, who knows. I always like to know if there is actually something special about this root beer or if someone just likes making root beer.
Anyone else trying to follow along. I want to try this but as group effort.
The only way to hit an investor where it hurts is to refuse to do what they think is profitablr. That means looking at management, as a collective of people who can do the eork, and saying "no, I won't do that".

> apparently migration takes a long, long time

if we take a generation to be 20 years, and the grown children move 20 miles away so as not to compete for resources and/or find fresh ones, then we get about 1 mile per year. 1000 years == 1000 miles of migration,
It's all good. And to be fair the labels are in smallish type, strangely colored, and really not as obvious as they should have been.
Nah, I already did the "do what you love" shtick during the first half of my career working as a researcher living paycheck to paycheck. After I got my first job in the private sector I figured out that, you know what? actually I like being able to pay bills, buy stuff, go out for dinner, and generally lead a comfortable middle class lifestyle.

In any event I'm not exactly nihilistic. I believe better places to work exist, but my visa prevents me from changing employers. When the time comes we'll see if the grass is greener.

Well, I'd say that these generic tips of advice aren't a strict playbook to go by. More so, I'd say they go to a mindset for a founder to help shape where you spend your time and resources.

I think the intended thought process is: don't prematurely scale. Wait until you need to.
Good for him.

Being bilingual myself (Spanish native, English learned) I always wonder why so many Americans/Brits do not speak Spanish as their second language, or any second language for that matter.

Now I live in Europe, and here it is very common for people to know 3 or 4 languages.

Being able to communicate on any other language is so great.
On the other side of that coin though - Home Asssistant isn't exactly a mainstream app, it's almost exclusively run by tech geeks. The same type of people who are usually willing to mentally cross off brands when they make moves like this.

Yes there are certifications for each of those sectors. Finance has pci compliance, health has HIPAA.

For legal issues it's a bit more nuanced (eg new york state has guidelines about best practices, but they're honestly fairly sensible and would probably allow SOC 2 or equivalent)

The best thing anybody can do with your data is not store it for very long. Beyond that, they should take sensible measures, like encrypt it at rest, have policies restricting access, etc
The article says the opposite sides use the app, not just one side pushing their propaganda (naturally, that along is enough to blame for "misinformation"). Great app.
Yes. To engineers, the interface is something you use to interact with software. To users, the interface is the software. When they buy (with money or creepy analytics for marketers) software, they're buying an interface. As anybody in business knows, you're not in the business you think you're in, you're in the business your customers think you're in, and if they expect software to behave in a way it can't, their competitor is a half-inch down the app store results/google listing/etc.

I often find myself wishing for this block cloning thing, but with rsync hooks.

Like suppose you're copying a large genome from A to B, and you already have a genome from that species (but different organism) lying around on B.

Sure, you could clone and then rsync on top of the clone to avoid transferring the common bits again. But that's forethought that users often don't have. Better to use the rolling hash related metadata that rsync generates as a query into all possible targets and pick one automatically so that the user doesn't have to think about it and just sees it as a really fast copy.
Once you've moved the window with the arrow keys you can also use the mouse to move the window. The problem with this is that it's _slow_, and it doesn't actually work on some software. Some non-native window frameworks like to disable (or don't implement) all hotkeys by default, including f10, Alt+space and sometimes even the tab key. IMO the only reason for a program to disable the standard windowing mechanics is because it's intended to be used as an overlay (programs like launchy or slickrun).

From https://www.eetimes.com/millimeter-wave-energy-to-be-used-in... (June 2001):

“It works by heating the water molecules in the top 1/64-of-an-inch layer of the skin,” said Marine Corps spokesman Maj. David Andersen.

According to reports, a 2-second burst from the system can heat the skin to a temperature of 130° F. Elsewhere, the AFRL describes the sensation as similar to touching an ordinary light bulb that has been left on for a while. “Unlike a light bulb, however,” says the AFRL fact sheet, “active-denial technology will not cause rapid burning, because of the shallow penetration of the beam and the low levels of energy used.”

Edit (me, not the article): I'm not saying that this information is necessarily true, this is just some info I found that was at the top of the search results, from 22 years ago, that I put no effort into fact-checking with other sources. And I wouldn't be surprised if they're used for crowd control, but I don't know. But the second half of the parent comment seems to be accurate.
That's the impression I was getting from reading the article and other articles related to histotripsy. Still, it sounds too good to be true, so I'm wondering the same thing.
Correct, SVG has <foreignObject> for that purpose. I don’t think there is an equivalent MathML element though.

Running OpenWRT directly on Proxmox on your home server is tempting but the risk to mess up from a security point of view (accidentally or not) is high.

After a quick look on OpenWRT wiki there is unfortunately not much information on what to be attentive to when running in a vm.
Humans do not _know_ the external world either. All humans have is perceptions from media like sounds, images and text! Internally we try to make a model of the world based on those perceptions. Any blanks are filled in by creativity ! Think about it, when we write or speak we start from some internalized model (which is mostly imperfect) and then we build text around it that feels fluent and consistent.

I would argue, human reasoning is conceptually not so much different from LLMs as one might think.
I think you could say literally all the exact same things about Markdown and HTML.

> I wonder if that would limit you to the very simplest of ~~math~~markup.

> ~~LaTeX~~HTML notation lets you type ~~math~~markup without the ambiguity of parsing text.

> I would not want to type ~~math~~markup in markdown notation due to loss of fidelity. Also ~~LaTeX~~HTML is like SQL: it’s there, everybody knows it, and it works. Any effort to displace it will end up reinventing it badly imho.

I mean the lack of Unicode support for superscripts would basically make this futile, but then you could say the same about the extreme limitations of Markdown tables.

edit: I forgot that HN doesn't support markdown strikethroughs. You get the idea.

The most frustrating part about the entire keyboard stack is how simple it looks at first glance.

If I type `q'`, my keyboard will send scancodes 20 (Q), 52 (' / "). This gets translated into symbols `q'`, which end up as characters `q'`. However, with a slightly different configuration I'll type `a'`, my keyboard will send scancodes 20 (Q), 52 (' / "), it gets translated into symbols `a'`, and they end up as the character `á`.

It sorta-kinda works, but when you are a keyboard you are basically at the mercy of the OS to interpret your intentions. Reliably inputting anything beyond basic ascii is incredibly difficult, and you get stuck trying to deal with dead keys, compose keys, numpad unicode input... Heck, even directly typing symbols like `&` is tricky because you essentially have to emulate <shift down><7 down><7 up><shift up>, which means that something like <& down><5 down><& up><5 up> will give you a surprise `%` instead of a plain `5`.

I'm into custom keyboards and I'd love to have a layer where I could just have a simple key to input stuff more complex than plain letters, but there's just no way to do so reliably.
Hamas doesn't need to continue being an armed terrorist group. They can lay down their arms and stop killing people. For an example, consider the Irish Republican Army. They (mostly) transitioned from being a terrorist group to participating in legitimate political parties as part of a multiparty democracy. And that produced much better results for their cause than terrorism ever did.

Dammit. I just bought a Mazda and I have Connected Services. The app sucks. Also I was about to spend this weekend trying to figure out how to get it hooked into HomeKit so I could turn on climate controls while getting kids ready in the morning. I’ve used Home Assistant in the past, sad to see it removed.

I guess I’ll just reverse engineer it myself. Good to know it is possible since I can replace the app.
That's true and his observation IS silly.

In general, though, common sense is widespread, and a belief that conventional science is wrong isn't necessarily crackpot. Scientists do manage to deceive themselves fairly regularly.

But yeah, you have a higher burden of proof.
> If you can get into Harvard, you're supposed to be an A student.

This seems to presuppose that the grading system is universal across all universities - i.e. that we would expect the vast majority of Harvard students to get an A, but the vast majority of students at a middling community college to get a C or D.

Is this really the case? I'm not American, but in the British education system, this is broadly considered not to be the case - if anything, the more prestigious institutions historically have had much higher standards for each grade.

Another expectation is that students' performances at university typically cannot be easily predicted from school grades or tests, and that all universities will have a proportion of students who do very well, and a proportion of students who do not do well at all. There is no real expectation that, say, the Oxbridge universities only take students who will definitely get a first, and the other universities mop up. Oxford and Cambridge are definitely more prestigious and therefore harder to get into, but they're by no means some "sure thing" where if you've passed that hurdle, you'll be able to pass everything else.
Adblockers and better written mobile pages would solve most problems when browsing from a phone, the rest will remain unsolved; people should realize that mobile phones (and most tablets) aren't computers - for a non trivial definition of computers - and can't be used as such without a hell of compromises.
>> There's also a possible end game where the child porn traders [...]

> Once again, this behavior would get Hungary booted pretty quickly.

I'm sorry; I should have made myself clearer. In that paragraph, I've taken an aside and moved from Hungary (or any other government) as the adversary to child-porn-sharers-in-general as the adversary, and also changed the adversary goal.

No matter what you do, you can't "boot" the child porn sharers, because they're the ones who actually define what images you're legitimately trying to block.

> Also it is important to remember these are hashes. Not all images of the US flag would trigger the system only that specific image that has a hash collision.

They're approximate perceptual hashes, designed to come up with close values on close pictures. The US flag has an officially defined appearance. You'll get the same hash for any two close-cropped, straight-on images of the flag, the kind you might embed in your Web site. They'll be at least as close as two reprocessed versions of the same child porn image.

I was oversimplifying, though. You're not going to be able to tweak just any child porn image to make it hash like just any flag, unless you're willing to distort it into unrecognizability. And flags and logos might be bad candidates in general, because they're going to give DCT output that's wildly different than what you'll get from most photos. But if you had a relatively large library of child porn and a relatively large library of heavily-used effectively unbannable images of whatever kind, you should be able to find a lot of the child porn images that you can tweak to hash like one or another of the heavily used ones.

... and if you're generating fake child porn from scratch using ML, you can probably hack your ML model to bake the hash of one or another unbannable image into everything it creates. You could probably make those matches pretty damned close.

So, once they got the whole thing down, they should be able to force the system to greatly tighten its match thresholds and/or deal with a really high false positive rate. In fact, they could probably make things bad enough that they could end up with a pretty large collection of child porn that the operators would be forced to completely exclude from detection.

Now back on the original authoritarian threat model:

> I just think this in a complicated and ineffectual bullet that can only be fired once because it has a fingerprint of the person who fired it.

For the "authoritarian" purpose, you may be right... although I wouldn't be surprised if it stayed under the radar for longer than you think. If the image you want to suppress only circulates among your own people, and if you're the authority who receives and verifies the reports on your own people, then all you have to do is to keep the overall volume down enough that it doesn't make anybody suspicious enough to demand that you show them the reports you're getting.

If you're a relatively small country, the number of people who share some local meme you care about may be quite a bit smaller than the number of people who share some new real child porn image.

>anything anymore

You can cut that part out of the statement. Humans in general are terrible at fact checking anything outside of walking outdoors and looking up at the sky. Leaving that in points to some glorious past where people were not idiots, that unfortunately never existed.

>But when we hear someone speak with confidence and we don't care enough to fact-check, then people just believe it.

When I was a teenager and was learning how people worked I came to the independent discovery of the Big Lie. Telling small lies with components that the listener may have understood didn't work well. But making up a nearly unbelievable fabrication with something the listener did not understand well at all, and saying it with conviction, works a scary percentage of the time.
Medieval brewers didn’t have access to the wealth of sugar variations available on our shelves today. I don’t think so anyway.

Also, honey caremelises at a much lower temperature (as low as 70C) compared to sucrose and glucose (~160C) and fructose (~110C). Not sure how that changes the flavour profile, but it probably contributes towards the danger vibes that this article tries so hard to emphasise.
If if isn't, then it becomes technically (and likely) feasible for every client that runs those algorithms to reconstruct A.

My impression was that the SecurityManager was ACLs. I’m thinking more of capabilities as found in the E language and various protocols like CapTP. The idea is that there is no “ambient authority” in a program: to be able to interact with the outside world, you need to be have a token that the runtime guarantees cannot be created by any program. All the tokens would be passed to the main function at startup and then passed down the call stack explicitly to code that wants these feature.

The whole paradigm is to avoid needing to check permissions by making it impossible in principle to do anything you’re not allowed to do.

Sorry to hear your experience. In my limited opinion this is the kind of thing that is fundamentally broken. It is designed to make life easy for insurance companies, not for people.

We as a nation, have decided to be governed by laws not by people. If we are truly to a people governed by laws, the common people (you and me) must have fair access to the courts to effect those laws. If we cannot afford an attorney, or if courts mandate arbitration - we cannot have equal access to the legal system.

In my opinion (again), the judge's requirement for mandatory arbitration denied you one of your fundamental rights as an American. Just saying.
