F – linear state transition model: x(t+1) = F x(t)

Q – covariance matrix for process noise, so actually x(t+1) = F x(t) + N(0,Q)

H – linear observation model

R – covariance matrix for observation noise

u, B – external control vector u, and B for how u acts on the model state. Optional.

The main secret to being able to do this is freelance work. I wouldn’t be where I am if I wouldn’t be doing: projects, coaching and mentoring, consulting and advising.
This happens everywhere, it doesn't have to do with race. I have a family member who has children in very posh and upscale neighborhood in a suburban area of NoVa. She has had neighbors call child welfare several times for her 10 year old skateboarding around town, or playing at a playground unattended with friends (literally a block away from their home). I get the vibe that alot of older residents don't want children running around because they value peace and quiet, so they call the cops/DCF when they see kids hanging w/o adults.
Using Wikipedia to cross-check can be dangerous since it often is the source of the content you‘re trying to verify.
Huh, wow, yeah I never heard of this but that makes complete sense.

I spent a bit of time helping by at an elementary and though it took a bit to click, it was painfully obvious that a lot of the worst behaved kids were doing so as way to hide the fact that they could not read.

And yeah, the idea of trying to get kids to read by just making them read does seem like bullshit vs teaching it as a skill.
Yeah. As they argue, what's going to happen when an isp shuts off service to a hospital due to automated systems put in place to mitigate this ruling? Mistakes can be corrected in due time, but how much damage will be done in the interim?

It's so exhausting that we don't just commit to net neutrality. It's the obvious logistical answer to this with direct comparisons in telephone service. Should have been settled years ago, but for some reason were letting the corporate copyright class spend money to slow it down.
That’s very neat. I appreciate the conversational style. Both audience members seem to have different backgrounds so it’s interesting to see it from their perspective.

Oh boy that’s another beast I am trying to slay. All I keep hearing is that once gums start receding there’s no regenerating it, only stopping it from getting worse and I just have a hard time buying such a simple explanation. It could be hubris talking, I can’t really tell you one way or the other.

Uneducated Speculation:
My theory is that the gums can regenerate and regain attachment loss but only in the right conditions -> in practice that would mean that they are not inflamed, and clean underneath the gum line (you can do that by flossing and getting a deep cleaning at a dentist if you need one), as well as doing your best to eliminate harmful bacteria that turn into calculus, and having a healthy diet.

The trickiest part is probably selectively eliminating the bad bacteria while retaining the good ones The mouth is full of both and mouthwashes like Listarine, or any Alcohol based ones are sledgehammers. Some washes are too harsh on the tissue itself too which I imagine impairs healing of any kind.
Enjoy the remote work now. It is a bubble. Any job that can be worked 100% remotely can equally be 100% outsourced to a cheaper labor market. Those who had normal jobs pre-covid, and since are totally remote, ride a wave of higher wages. That wave will crash the day employers realize they can find cheaper talent online. If you work remotely then you have to be competative at an international level. Maybe you really are of the best in the word, but there is only so much room at the top. Beware of starting careers so easily outsourced.

I would also hazard that any job easily done remotely is also ripe for takeover by AI. If your job requires no in-person contact, it might not require a person full stop.
TreeStyleTabs in Firefox has a feature to bookmark the whole tree you've built. I find that very useful for a similar workflow as you. And keeping the tree structure is important because it lets me back up a level or two in case there were more resources to explore that I've not.
Because you are getting something produced by someone for free if you pirate it and you are relying on others to fund your consumption. Take that to the logical extreme: everybody pirates everything. That is _very_ different to everyone not buying it. There is demand for the product and it has a cost to produce. If you steal something from somebody, there is recourse in law.

I don't disagree about the greed part, but I guess fragmentation is almost inevitable until the profit margin is driven down to near zero. Shortsighted, probably, but it would essentially require all the producers to back (and therefore yield profit to), one or two Netflix/Spotify type entities.
Elon once mentioned an interesting idea, just make removing laws easier than approving them. For example, if you require something like 2/3 of the votes to approve a law, then require only 1/2 to remove a law
Yeah, but that’s not beyond the memory of the average person. Usually phrases like “I remember a time before” prefix something that most people weren’t alive for.

That all said, it’s still longer than I thought. Time flys!
It's probably also true that streaming almost certainly aligns to different types, quantity, and production values of content overall. And there are always ongoing demographic and public fashion trends going on as well.

I agree with your point about competition. On the other hand, mindless channel surfing has mostly been replaced at the same time. People do it to some degree with streaming and even channels setup for the purpose--but it's a less natural fit.
Well, that was anticlimactic... I was expecting an article on teachers unions being ruled illegal and the significant minority of totally incompetent teachers the union enabled for all these years being fired.....

Knowing what I know now about dentistry, I would only ever let a dentist drill a tooth where I can actually see decay. If I can't see it, and the X-ray looks dubious, I'd just outright refuse. And then I'd see another dentist.
As someone who was the product of a culture like this and understands the value and importance of education in modern society, I will never have children because I cannot put a child through what I went through; it's a meaningless treadmill of work that never really delivered any understanding or joy; just teacher-pleasing busy work. I learned far more once I got into a job than I ever did in school.

There was a, as far as I know, a yet to be documented faction of the American east coast punk scene that I'd love to see get a formal treatment. Where the traditional view of punk is anger with volume, I found and became a part of what we called "a psyc club" - a sick club / a pseudo intellectual club - where everyone was style-wise a Sid Vicious punker, but in addition everyone was well read and serious into philosophy. Bands like Joy Division, Psychic TV, Einstürzende Neubauten and authors like Burroughs, Jean Genet, and Hesse, artists like Brion Gysin, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Warhol were our idols. The overriding aspect of these punkers was intellectual depression, with a public debate held at Boston's "Pour House" bar about 3 days a week with the topic being "what is and has value" with the debate finding no value worth pursuing in earnest over and over. It was a shared nihilist delusion, with one another egging each other to view darker, and darker. The debate disbanded after two debate members killed themselves.

Four decades later, my memories are like we were role playing the end of the world, wishing for the drama that would allow. I'd love to see a formal treatment of that scene.
I miss that kind of scene. Life is so boring and mainstream now. No rough edges.

Since no one's mentioned it yet - I had really sensitive gums for a while, and it was because I was very anemic, after the anemia was dealt with the sensitivity was gone. So if you have other symptoms of anemia also (fatigue, random dizziness, wanting to chew ice, etc) & haven't had it checked in a while maybe ask your doctor about it.

It’s a marketing term pandering to insecure managers. A lot of upper management believes that they have a ton of employees who will be slacking off unless constantly watched, and they don’t trust the lower level managers to do their jobs making sure that doesn’t happen.

Sometimes that has a race or class component but I think it most often is simply that it conveniently shifts the blame for poor performance. That project didn’t fail because incompetent managers confused Accenture’s suits with competence, or because the management layers are only good at playing politics, but because the staff “quiet quit” (i.e. spent their unpaid time with their friends and families rather than gifting it to their boss).

The United States has a lot of people who either are in management or self-identify with the people at the top so a business writer can have a very easy career writing “it’s not you, it’s them” pieces like this. Our retirement system also means you have a large audience of people who have spare time, depend on stock market returns for their income, and are thus far more willing to think other people should have harsher working conditions than they personally did.
Some of the $0 items are the base "from scratch" items. You can click on an item to make it from scratch; doing so for eggs gives an egg-laying chicken (with an associated price), but doing that again gives the base level of "baby chicken." Not everything goes down that far (e.g. baking powder) but things like soil and seawater are of that ilk. See also: vanilla
That article is horrible. What it describes is yet another hack where clients attempt to guess the DPI and then rescale themselves, and the server and compositor know nothing about DPI. That method only exacerbates the problems where clients that don't support scaling are going to be scaled wrong on every screen. Compare this to Wayland where the compositor itself knows the scale of every window and does all the scaling.
So your argument is, hopefully I’m not strawmanning:

People who are from cultures that value education tend to be more educated.

Based on that you reject the parent’s point about education being a function of student motivation (derived via social norms acquired via their families)?

How can genetics not also play a large part in human variation?
Yep, in an expression language that's how you'd do it. However, we're an imperative language, and the advantage of `else` is that we can use an imperative construct, `if()`, to locate the else case in the code - so we don't need to handle it in the typesystem. That's an inversion from monadic languages, where types contain/emulate statements - in C-likes, statements contain expressions/types! So `breakelse` effectively is glue that lets us turn part of the type into a control flow, which is deliberately not represented in the typesystem. `Optional.case(:else: breakelse).X` and now in X, we're no longer dealing with an `Optional` at all. We're not "inside" the Optional as we would be with `map`; we've effectively everted the entire `Optional` using non-local flow from the `else` case.

> Any job that can be worked 100% remotely can equally be 100% outsourced to a cheaper labor market.

People have been saying that since time immemorial, way before the current remote work era. Heck, I remember that being said about programming jobs when I was in high school 18+ years ago. I'm still waiting for my job to be replaced by Indians.
> I don't get why there's so much hate on trans people these days.

Most people were willing to be tolerant when there was a perception of negligible negative impact to others. But now that there are so many well-publicised incidents showing otherwise, such as male inmates attacking women in the female prison estate [1], males invading female-only lesbian events [2], males dominating in women's sports [3], and many, many other transgressions mostly harming women and children, there is an increasingly negative sentiment towards both the trans-identifying and the belief system of gender identity that has enabled all of this.

All of this may seem like a surprising outcome to some, but feminists of the radical school of thought predicted most of it way back in the 1970s, when the concept of a 'male-to-female transsexual' was being popularised, making the astute observation that this was just yet another manifestation of patriarchy, a way for men to dominate women.

The problem with Mozilla is that they dont care about their core product, which lost its unique proposition for customers (add-ons and customization) and is losing market share.

Also those "fun" projects are career boosters for people involved, not something that makes firefox better. It even makes it worse, since fewer resources go for firefox.
People complain about all sorts of stuff that’s of their own making:

- “The house is a mess”

- “I eat too much junk food / takeaways”

- “I’m so hungover”

Etc

A lot of the time it’s more a just small talk, rather than a genuine complaint. Or in the case of tabs during a screen share, a way of filling an uncomfortable silence while they’re getting set up for a meeting.
In the USA, it's a civil violation, not a crime. You can't go to jail for downloading. Uploading is what gets people in real trouble. Unfortunately bittorrent counts as uploading, which is ridiculous. Some people make a business of piracy and going after those people would be a little more reasonable.
No, xrandr isn't sufficient. It still doesn't have scaling information, only size information. Changing the reported physical size of the monitor is a bad idea as it can break other things.
France is not the only EU country. If you don't mention a country, I'll assume any country in EU I like.

And it's only terrorism, until the oppressor gives up. Then it's a libration movement, or whatnot. Bunch of anti-colonial, liberation movements in Africa and elsewhere also weren't pretty.

Palestine's rights are not moot at all. They are as relevant as ever, maybe even more so, because now they're violated much more than before.

At school my favourite and most effective teachers were those that my older sisters had disliked enough to warn me about. And, with my kids, it repeats; one will like and learn from a teacher that the other kid struggles with etc.

So perhaps it’s about teachers being good and effective for one child but not for another, and few are objectively bad for everyone?

If you're not sure about that, you can at least be sure that "not getting out alive" isn't one of them. Because that means death.

Have the same. I changed the way I brush. I used to push hard into the gum line.

Now what I do is more like sweeping; I use a regular toothbrush, and pull it over my teeth and gums at an angle to increase the sweeping area. This cleans much more of my month, so it’s less acidic, and this just feels better than what I was doing before. I also floss to break up biofilms in the gumline. Gums much happier.

Are you actually suggesting that most Linux desktop users only use the same 4 programs you do and will never use or install anything else? If that's the case then why bother with a display server or package managers? We can hardcode those 4 programs into the system, have them draw directly to the framebuffer and then we can remove the ability to install any other programs. Sound good to you?
For small SaaS companies they are definitely not easy to detect and the card fees alone until you detect might make you not make payroll that month or go out of business.
I wish educational systems were less eager to jump into the latest fads, and more conservative in their approach (and I say that as a progressive).

In my country we didn't have this particular fad as far as I know, but we are harming kids with the trend of making everything digital. With nonsense such as classrooms of 3-year-old kids where they solve a puzzle by dragging images of the pieces on a big screen, rather than handling the physical pieces themselves.

Taking this to the logical extreme is fallacious. The piracy wars up to this point have already shown that people buy content if it’s reasonably priced, and that piracy in many cases actually increases sales of the original content. The fact that piracy is back in the limelight has everything to do with the failing business models of greedy companies, and is the market reacting accordingly.

The fact that there are penalties for stealing physical goods does not imply that just any penalty is fine. The analogy doesn’t work. Removal of Internet access in 2023 is debilitating. Punishments are supposed to fit the crime, and the complete loss of access to what has become a fundamental point of access does not fit the crime.

And there’s also the very old arguments that I won’t rehash here about the clear difference between digital copies of content and physical items.

I've been using Cursor quite a bit on my two current personal projects in Python and C++ respectively, and I think it's quite useful:

I haven't written a unit test by hand since I started using Cursor. Because it has the full codebase as context, it can easily generate unit tests. I would say the code is correct around 50% of the time on the first try? Otherwise, you can quickly submit a follow-up prompt to fix stuff. Obviously, it's still GPT-4 in the background, so hallucinations still happen.

I tried adding a simple feature to my interpreted custom programming language using the chat feature, giving the full codebase as context: The programming language already supported indexing into arrays, but not strings. I asked in chat what I need to change to make this feature work. It generated code and showed me in which files I have to add or modify existing code. Very impressive. Again, the code wasn't perfect, I had to do some minor adjustments like method names, but it understood my code, gave the right files to modify, and also proposed code that was almost correct. There is a beta feature that applies the proposed code changes to the codebase, but that did not work yet when I tried it (I am using an OpenAI API key, maybe it's related to that).

Overall, I think it is very helpful, especially when I am tired from $dayjob, but still want to do some coding in the evening. For me, it's much easier to formulate what I want to code in human language, instead of writing the code "by hand".

Caveat: Even if you use the OpenAI API key, ALL your code is sent to the cursor.so servers for prompt generation, indexing etc., even with "local mode" on. "Local mode" just changes a flag that cursor won't save code on their servers, but it's still sent there for processing. I assume this is a deal-breaker for most companies for now.
Sometimes I want a 5 minute distraction without my FOMO (fear of missing out) kicking in on an article I might have missed.

Aside: My wife recently had a kid and the experience taught me how much work gets done to you just because you're being monitored that you may not actually need. You definitely need to know your own body and trust yourself to some degree. At least pregnancy is having a resurgence in "natural" birth.

Is dentistry the same? I could see this as plausible. My assumption at times has been that people's teeth all just fell out immediately before the 1900s lol, which is probably further from the truth
My guess is that Meta employees are a small minority of HN readership, so I think you’ll need to explain how you think the HN community is responsible.

While both are belligerently user hostile, History is the only feature set worse than Bookmarks.

Safari live updates the displayed history if you reopen a link.
Which resets your cursor.

Bulk deleting selected entries deletes. each. and. every. single. entry. one. at. a. time. It can take minutes to delete 100s of entries.

With a bunch of entries selected, to bulk delete them, it's common to accidentally unintentionally reopen them.

There's no way to filter noise entries. Like search results and shopping carts.

Using a treetable, with each visited domain as a top level node, would be spiffy. Double extra bonus points for cascading trees mirroring the URL. As God intended.

Search is painful.
