To be clear, I don’t keep my AirPods in when speaking. But I’m cautious about instinctive moralisation when it comes to customs and norms.
This is what was said about Japan prior to their electronics industry surpassing the rest of the world. Yes, china does copy. However, in many instances those companies move faster and innovate faster than their western counterparts. Look at the lidar industry in china. It's making mass market lidar in the tens of thousands [see hesai]. There is no american or european equivalent at the moment. What about DJI? They massively out innovated western competitors. I wouldn't be so quick to write off that country's capacity for creativity and technological prowess.
I'm pretty sure you are wrong.

Surprisingly, GE. Apparently they’re the only big appliance company that maintains a service division in-house. It’s easy to book a repair, the engineer arrives on time, and they were able to successfully repair my 20-year old fridge that would have entailed a complete kitchen remodel to replace.
Toyota's Manual Transmission for EVs – Much More Fun Than You Think
This is so overcomplicated. You don't need an actual tree that's just a mental model. All you need to do is generate N random hyperplanes (defined via it's normal i.e. generate N normalized vectors in the dimension of your choosing). Then you generate a hash via these by going normal by normal and checking if your query vector `q` is on the left or right side of the normal by checking the sign of the dot product. I.e. `hash = [sign(dot(q, n1)), sign(dot(q, n2)), ...]`.

So given a query you find that hash and you get all the vectors with the same hash (using your favorite hash to array data structure, i.e. a dict) and you can further refine the search within that bucket. It's like 10 rows of code.
Now all you need to do to bring the argument home is to show us why Twitter is the same as a courtroom in session.
This is also true of neurotypical students who grew up in equitable households. Having been told that “respect is mutual and earned” is not conducive to a child respecting authority figures in school. None of the school authority figures try start off by earning respect, efforts to enforce unearned respect will understandably be met with resistance.

Can't you share them via shared libraries in .NET?
The historical context for this was the belief that those in positions of authority were put there by God's will. And so to question the rightness of them being placed over you was to question God.

With the most extreme form of this being the idea of divine right of kings. Because kings were given the most extreme authority, they must have the strongest sanction of God supporting them.

It would be a mistake to think of this as a purely Christian notion, either. Divine right very closely parallels the Chinese notion of the Mandate of Heaven for the emperor. And Christian notions owe a lot to Plato. In particularly the Neoplatonic idea of the Great Chain of Being. Which (though the phrase has a separate history) can be summed up with, "As above, so below." So we are reflections of our rulers. If our rulers are just, we will be. If our rulers are unjust, we will also be unjust. If we upset the natural order by overthrowing our rulers, chaos will descend upon the land. Shakespeare did a great job of capturing the mindset in The Tempest.

The fact that he wanted to be given clear reasons means he did not in fact want to be treated like a computer. Computers do whatever they are told exactly with no thought to reason whatsoever.
I can't login to my domain dashboard either. Maybe that is a downstream effect of workers being offline?
Tell HN: Npmjs.com seems to be down for scoped packages
Looks like the npmjs.com registry is failing to serve many (most?) scoped packages right now. For instance https://www.npmjs.com/package/@prisma/client says "looks like something unexpected occurred! diagnostics id: 81e64be90eba9e6b_912a". And trying to `npm install` such packages times out with an error, "KV GET failed: 401 Unauthorized".

No, this still uses LFS for larger binary formats (ie raster or point cloud datasets)
I use uBO for many years now and from time to time I wondered why YouTube worked so well even without the ads. Knowing how much effort is being put into this, explains a lot.

I absolutely love this extension and every time I come across a browser without it, I am horrified what the normal web is like today. Thanks a lot for providing everyone with a very good chance to experience a much better web.
Hilarious timing. I shared my first ever blog post on reddit a couple hours ago. The blog is hosted on cloudflare, and the post describes a use case for page functions.
Examine the receipt, there should be some details about LLC, Ltd, Corp or Inc that can be accessed online for provenance details?
It's like a dark-mirror version of a really good principle in leadership philosophy, which was outlined in Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. "Everything that happens under your command is your responsibility." If a man fails to do his job in the correct way, it's because you failed to make a system that would train him properly, and possibly because you allowed the wrong man to be hired. Technically, every success is also your responsibility, but a smart leader spreads blame for success and privatizes blame for failure. In reality many leaders pretty much do the opposite.
This is mentioned by John. Are there specific instances of misrepresentation in the episode you can point to?

"We all know..."

That's just not true. Besides being funny, this show presents a general audience with topics they won't be familiar with. I think one can expect some chocolate consumers to modify their buying habits after watching this infotainment.
My shitty polish accent makes me unique though.
>An individual "right" to own firearms was only created in 2008

You are conflating a SCOTUS ruling with a "right". The right was always there since the constitution was adopted.

It just wasn't a right that was challenged all the way up to the SCOTUS until 2008. That doesn't mean the right didn't exist before hand. It only means the SCOTUS confirmed a right that has existed all along.
Interesting idea. I think that as long as you able to do processing, serializing and delivery in other process and save this work from your application runtime you should see great performance
> The core issue is that WebRTC is not a protocol; it’s a monolith.

> The WebRTC media stack is designed for conferencing and does an amazing job at it. The problems start when you try to use it for anything else.

The main problem with WebRTC is that it's designed to be overcomplicated and garbage on purpose. A way to leverage UDP for video streaming without any possibility for anyone to ever send an actual UDP packet... so that it's not possible to turn every mildly popular website into a god tier DDOS botnet.

WebRTC is what we get when we can't have nice things.
Our prod app and staging just completely died. Bad day for somebody at Cloudflare
I think it's the same as restaurants "hijacking" cheap ingredients and serving them up behind a paywall. Just because you think you could make a tool yourself doesn't mean it's never worth paying for, even professional chefs will pay for something pre-made and easy when they're hungry.
I'd have never learned anything in math past arithmetic if that were the case.

Generations entirely brainwashed into Jihad. Have you seen "Tomorrow's Pioneers"?
One that I think about a lot is the "ok" symbol, when its not being held up as a separate symbol (that is, not held up like the peace sign or a middle finger). If you'd normally put the palms of your hands on your knees while sitting, but instead put the o of the symbol on there, then you're doing the thing that's a dog whistle.

And what's insidious about it is that to some extent, people do it just because they know it winds up liberals. Hell, there's a picture of 16-year old me making the sign that way, specifically because the photographer told us not to. That was 25 years ago, so I'm not sure if the symbol had been overloaded at that time. I certainly had no idea about that extra connotation.

Its never clear in isolation if a person using the symbol semi-covertly is doing so because they want to confuse liberals, or to advertise to neo-nazis. Its the same as wearing a red shoelaces in certain parts of Los Angeles. Are you doing it because you're a Blood? Or because you think it goes well with your outfit? What if its both? And if you're not in the context where that extra connotation matters, then no one assumes that there might be that extra connotation. You see the exact same sort of bonkers nitpicking from e.g. QAnon about how every little thing is just code for "this politician is involved in the child sex trade, and want others in the child sex trade to know". Sometimes the accusation of dog-whistling is just bonkers. But I have also seen neo-nazi militias advertising in neutral spaces, and the only reason I was tipped off is because they called themselves the 1488th Civil Defense Militia or some such. As the saying goes, if you know, YOU KNOW.

There are also more explicit dog-whistles, where the word people want to use is deemed politically incorrect. Think "urban" when somebody really means "black" in the late 80s into the 90s.
Modern generative AI functionality is hardly limited to predicting words. Have you not heard of e.g. Midjourney?
At my workplace (the one in the post), whenever one of the good engineers asks about how something works and it's one of these spaghetti-balls, we chorus "It's the design of our backend, okay?"
Which part? Sometimes the right thing to do is to speak up in public and offer a different opinion, sometimes the right thing is to have a private conversation.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, which part do you feel is snake-like?
Yes — Workaround is to disable your workers. That got my site back up and running.

EDIT 15:07 MDT: People are reporting that Workers are back up. Mine isn't in my site's critical path. So I'm going to leave the Worker disabled (un-routed) until tonight.
Also, if what you look up has no semantic meaning like parts number you might be better off with an inverted index in addition to ANN lookups. Especially if the embedding model has been trained on a dataset that is not similar to what you use it for. That's a common situation right now with embedding models based on LLMs.
The USPTO page on enablement is filled with examples of hardware and software patents that were rejected, because of hand-waving generalization. There needs to be some accountability for approving these bogus patents.

Because company names and slogans are often misleading.
I'm not saying that hardwood floors are bad.

I'm saying that PVC or laminate flooring(much more common) is absolutely not a concern for climate change. "They come from oil" is an illogical argument for durable goods.

In addition - when you cut a part of the hardwood flooring, your new piece will not look the same without a lot of work. Specially for hardwood flooring that is more than a few decades old.
Same goes for sunglasses. I have a really diffcult time talking to someone without seeing thier eyes. Not beeing sure if thier attention is on me or somewhere else is really strange.
That doesn't sound likely to be a compelling argument.

You still haven’t said anything contradicting what I said. I was providing info about how specifically to stop being so unattractive ;-)

But for clarity, I was talking about women’s experience from the perspective of my women friends, and what other men on dating apps are like to point out that there is actually no real competition for men on these apps. Most women are just not finding anyone that doesn’t obviously suck. The bar to beat, that most guys are totally failing at, is to seem more attractive than just being alone! That’s a painful truth for guys facing chronic rejection, and me just pointing it out will make them angry, but it’s the truth. I can barely believe the stories I hear about the shitty dates these women do end up going on… makes me feel sorry for them.
Communists and anarchists understand that the working class needs to defend itself from both the capitalist state and from fascist paramilitaries, thus must be collectively armed.

It’s only a kind of liberal (and thus right wing) that argues for gun control. Other kinds of liberals that call themselves “conservative” (also right wing) argue against it and for (worthless) individual gun rights.

I feel the dual of sociopathy isn't charisma, it's leadership. Manipulating others to benefit oneself (Paul's examples) is sociopathy, while manipulating others to benefit all is leadership. I do not believe these concepts to be mutually exclusive.

Charisma, meanwhile, is a tool for sociopaths and leaders alike, and it can absolutely be learned and practiced. It's not the only tool to manipulate; power is a common one, but raw technical ability is my personal favorite.
The easy part is choosing a better end-state; anyone can do that, and for any of these Rube Goldberg machines at a large-ish company, several people likely have.

What makes someone a staff+ is finding a path to iteratively evolving towards that end-state without breaking anything along the way and while having progress to show off at each step.
Yea that seems to be the idea -- try to constrain America as much as possible if you can't beat it on its own terms. However US military as grown such that it likely can fight a 3 front war and most other nations would rather the sweet sweet trade deals they get by cooperating over some obscure ideological vision of a world without america.
But how on earth is that helpful for consumers?

If you do so much IPC that you have to design your language around it you're probably doing it wrong. I don't think that moving to a monolith would really cut down that much on other technologies. Maybe you can do without Kafka, but certainly you will need some other kind of persistent message queue. You will still need API docs and E2E integration tests.

> Nobody expects the teacher to bring in candy, but it's kind of awful if they only bring it in for the students they like.

I hated teachers who insisted on treating everyone exactly the same. Ideal would be treating everyone according to their need. Which might mean candy for some, the freedom to set their own workload for others, understanding of chattiness for yet other, etc. Admittedly candy is fairly universal in terms of how it affects people.

> "Rule of law" is ideal, even for laws you don't agree with.

I'd rather have exceptions be able to made where appropriate. I'd see "rule of law" as a least-worst fallback where that can't be achieved.
Our main Marketing website that brings revenue is down. No Sympathy from me. It has been 20 mins now. Losing money as I type this.

I had a Fossil hybrid smartwatch, which looked very much like a regular analog watch. A funny thing happened when I would glance down at it to check a notification — people didn't realize it was a smartwatch, and thought I was pressed for time. This never happened when I had a more smart-looking smartwatch — people always understood I was checking a notification (and didn't mind).

I think that, over time, people will become accustomed to the fact that AirPods have conversational awareness, and you can carry on conversations like normal (and in the case of some hearing-impaired folks, better-than-normal) while wearing them.

It will take some time, and will catch on sooner in some circles than others. But I'd be surprised if in 5 years this weren't widely understood in many circles — especially those HNers run in. I hope I'll still have the courtesy to take my earbud out, though!
There's a clip in the show of a young female teenager who wants to go to school but has instead been separated from her family and forced to work on her (I believe) uncles farm.

You're probably asking about the general trend but this is an example of the show refuting that these kids are just the farmers children. The call with the nestle exec also mentions this objection.
This wouldn't do anything to reduce ocean acidification from CO2 absorption though, would it?

It's really difficult to compare the latency of different protocols because it depends on the network conditions.

If you assume flawless connectivity, then real-time latency is trivial to achieve. Pipe frames over TCP like RTMP and bam, you've done it. It's almost meaningless to compare the best-case latency.

The important part is determining how a protocol behaves during congestion. LL-HLS doesn't do great in that regard; frankly it will perform worse than RTMP if that's our yardstick because of head-of-line blocking, large fragments, and the playlist in the hot path. Twitch uses a fork of HLS called LHLS which should have lower latency, but we were still seeing 3-5s in some parts of the world.

But yeah, P90 matters more than P10 when it comes to latency. One late frame ruins the broth. A real-time protocol needs a plan to avoid queues at all costs and that's just difficult with TCP.

Exactly. Turing postulated this more than half a century ago.

It's weird that people are still surprised of the ethical consequences of the Turing-test, as if it were some checkbox to tick or trophy to win,

You've always done things like observed the precise lunch hours (and not taken a single minute more)? This stuff is usually defined in contracts but at least for a professional job in a good workplace is subservient simply to getting the work done rather than literally doing your 7.3 hours of work and 0.7 hours of lunch to the letter. Even doing duties for your job that aren't listed as part of your contract is common. How common is working more than the contract specifies by just a few minutes? And so on. There's a reason Work to Rule strikes [1] are a thing.
