I know people still use COBOL, but does any important software use APL nowadays?

From Wikipedia:

> APL is used for many purposes including financial and insurance applications,[82] artificial intelligence,[83][84] neural networks[85] and robotics.[86] It has been argued that APL is a calculation tool and not a programming language;[87] its symbolic nature and array capabilities have made it popular with domain experts and data scientists[88] who do not have or require the skills of a computer programmer.[citation needed]

But the latest citation is from 2018, and some of these are just tutorials or articles.
I'd be fine with that approach as long as a law was passed that said that if a journalist wants to commentate on a video, then they have to provide a link where anyone can view the video in full (potentially with exceptions for certain cases like those involving minors).

I just don't trust journalists when they claim that they have a video showing unjustified violence. I imagine that sentiment probably is held by people on both sides. E.g. a leftist would be suspicious of stories accusing protestors of violence while someone on the right would be suspicious about stories of police violence.
To those who are saying "just get a RPi", this has been launched as part of the Arduino Pro line so the main target market is industrial applications where this type of flexibility might be needed.

Having said that, even as a hobbyist, I don't see what's wrong with it? Maybe I have written some code that is already running on my Arduino, and I want to add a sensor that is only available for RPi, without having to hop onto another platform... nothing wrong with that.
If there is anything that would make ammonia seem warm and cuddly, it is indeed hydrazine!

Urea maybe? It’s almost non toxic and is 2x ammonia + a carbon monoxide molecule.

though not sure how efficient it would be to extract energy from.

Speaking of ‘extra nitrogen’s are generally bad’, a callout to the azides!

This filled me with glee. I just very recently reported some of their videos. Many of their videos were "look at this highly edited body cam footage, we did good", which is to be expected, sure, but they also didn't allow comments (which if I understand correctly is illegal/unconstitutional).
Sure, I also hate youtube with all it's dark patterns, but... it's nice when the devil takes out a demon?
Oh I do like that for sure, but as you said it's a solved problem in very few languages.

But in general, very few such unquestionably good practices are adopted.
For facts, one prefers to listen to people who don’t make basic factual errors. Also, that you are still commenting in this HN thread two days after it was posted, suggests you have an unhealthy ideological fixation with this topic.
There is a way to end the movement and that was what Rabin tried to do in 1992. The Oslo accord was about making peace with the more moderate PLO. The idea was that the Palestinian people themselves would reject the doctrine of the Hamas and get rid of it.

Personally I think it could have worked given time and more intelligence work but now it will be much harder. The Hamas controlled the school system in Gaza. I just watched a video of a bunch of kids, no older than mine. Cute as pie, telling the camera how horrible the Jews are and that they want to drive a car into them when they grow up. That nothing is more holy than to be a martyr for god. Pretty fucked up stuff.
> A Japanese car manufacturer ordered a Trabant

The ironic thing is that the Japanese cars produced during the Trabant heydey era (60s-70s) are mostly not around any more due to having rusted.

Maybe we would see more ancient Honda Civics on the road if they used duroplast.

> EDIT: It's also theoretically possible that Hamas would surrender and/or free all the hostages. I think that's pretty unlikely but we'll see.

My best case would be that Hamas exchanges their hostages as they have many times before. Preferrable Hamas releases all the hostages, and in exchange the Hamas leadership (the top leadership, 100s maybe) gets safe passage to somewhere else - go to a Qatar or somewhere not directly adjacent. And then the PA takes over Gaza with international peacekeepers and we drive towards a 2-state solution aggressively.

We would need Netanyahu sidelined for that as well - that guy has long boosted Hamas just to weaken Palestinian moderates and has aggressively expanded the settlements as well as opposed multiple US presidents when the pushed for a solution.

Personally, I am a big fan of the Geneva Initiative as the outline of a 2-state solution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Initiative

I was an early adopter of Textpattern in 2004, and I still have sites running that use it.

Back then it was early in my career, and I used Textpattern as the CMS for a client’s site. I’ll never forget trying to explain Textile markup to the engineer who would be managing the site. To me Textile, like Markdown, was great as shorthand for HTML. Well, but this guy chuckled and shook his head and said it seemed like using MS-DOS for the web. And well, you know what, it kind of is. I like my text-based tools, but that perspective has stuck with me when considering and designing systems for others to use.

I kept Textpattern to myself after that, and eventually hacked it to use Markdown. I don’t know if they’ve made that easier than it used to be, but if they have they ought to have done so years earlier.

And then of course I switched to Pollen.
You have a lot more faith in the government and the fact it won't be heavily politicized than I do.

1) While building this system, I found that the LLM can sometimes generate unpredictable responses. For example, the LLM sometimes chooses to summarize the document even for a simple retrieval question. When using expensive LLM models, this mistake could result in 10x higher cost. In your case, the LLM could generate sub-tasks that incur significant operating overheads. Just curious if you're currently facing such issues and if you have plans to mitigate them.

2) The restart idea is neat! I often faced this scenario where only few sub-questions have some issues that need to be fixed. Tweaking them without re-running the whole pipeline seems like a useful feature in this case.
I need to ask this question for any chemical engineers currently reading this. I'm seeing people in the comments talking about how this could be applied to consumer vehicles, not just industry like cargo ships and agriculture.

If I, the consumer, had unlimited access to cheap, unregulated liquid ammonia (as common as gasoline), how many precursor-steps am I away from having access to like... a LOT of high explosives?

As far as I can see, it's a very similar problem to hydrogen. It doesn't matter how safe you can make it, it matters how dangerous a random nutjob can make it.

Is there any other type of marketing?
I worked on designing computerized machinery in the past, and having sensors for as much stuff as possible just seemed like a good idea. We had quite a few current sensors for various components. Then we could do stuff like log in to the unit remotely when a customer had an issue, and diagnose based on if something was using too much current or zero current, and that beats having to send out a technician to go poke and prod. There are a lot of uses for that kind of data. And you've got a CPU right there to send it to.

Here's one I've heard but never seen online:

German engineers from the Trabant factory toured an auto assembly line in Japan. At the end of the line they witnessed a Japanese worker put a live cat inside the car and shut the doors. Puzzled, the German engineers asked their tour guide why. The guide replied, "When we come back the next morning, if the cat is dead we know the car was built airtight and thus has passed inspection." The German engineers nod and take notes. When they get back to Germany they put a cat in a Trabant and roll up the windows. When they get back the next morning the cat is gone.

(The joke is that Trabants are built with engineering tolerance so poor that an animal as large as a cat could slip through the cracks.)
Indeed, for a few years after socialism ended, it was common for old Dacias to be recommended to tourists to Romania as the best choice of rental car. The idea being that if you had a breakdown, anyone in the country would know how to fix with it rudimentary tools. I once heard someone quip that all you needed to fix most Dacia problems was a hammer.
Truthful marketing?

They can keep making claims to cover up their complete bungling of their market position.

As for the idea itself. Ammonia as fuel fails the first principle of safe design. It’s a poisonous gas. Using it as a fuel is a willingness to trade the safety of people for a cheaper fuel.
> the celcius was based off the freezing and boiling point of water at sea level

These are not particularly great choices. Water transitions to a solid when it freezes, and distance from sea level has a massive impact on the boiling point of water which Celsius did promptly characterize. Also, somewhat weirdly, Celsius used to be inverted, with 100 being freezing and 0 being boiling.

MP3 decoding is just math. If you have enough CPU to decode a compressed audio stream, it doesn't cost anything to also have it decode MP3.

Sure, you could store those clips in a more appropriate codec, but what do you gain? It's dead simple to encode an MP3, every audio editor from the last couple decades can do it. How common is SBC support?

If MP3 decoding is free, and MP3 encoding is free, why bother spending any effort at all on anything else? Sometimes good enough is good enough and cheap and easy wins over correct every time.
Backdoors tend to be sloppy and invite more than who they were built for. Nobody needs another attack surface. Ignoring and disparaging legitimate privacy concerns is unhelpful antisocial at best, gaslighting for tyrany some less cheritable might say.
I'm just stating that was the reason given by Metro and was the public perception at the time. I was among the public affected by it, and my anecdotal experience is that problems on the routes starting in Seattle and ending in the suburbs were fewer after the free fare zone was eliminated. It certainly doesn't consitute reasarch.
That applies to Canada and Mexico and Argentina and Australia too though right?
> People generally value traditions, and specifically food traditions, highly.

The author specifically discusses how, for example, the production of regional traditional French cheese is, in fact, highly industrialised:

"Meanwhile, to keep pace with gastronomic demand, farming relentlessly intensifies. In the famous cheesemaking regions of France, you will scarcely see a dairy cow. Instead, vast tracts are cultivated for maize. Passing tourists romantically assume it’s sweetcorn for human consumption – the French must eat a lot of sweetcorn! No, it will be turned into silage to feed the cattle stalled in the vast steel sheds – cow factories – that have sprung up from Brittany to Savoie, a business as brutal and industrial as any other. Milk is trucked across hundreds of kilometres, trade fairs market the cheese from Dubai to Shanghai."
I posted this as I thought it was cool as well and something I had not seen yet (a remote for your phone?). My thinking was "what else could I use this for? A camera remote? Find my phone button? Send a call to voicemail?" ... I can imagine a number of uses for when I don't want to take my phone out of my pocket or pick it up etc but still would be useful to interact with it for some purpose like those examples...

While true, the negative side of this is that you lose your anonymity.

Bluetooth link negotiation happens in a few dozens of milliseconds. Any perceptible delay is down to the host operating system setting up audio drivers. The headset can't know what the host is doing or even that there is a delay.
it's not that conclusive, there are many other aspects in which it can be bad (security, team's workflow etc). There is however no design principle ever dictates how components should/should not be stored in the same code repo.
It only needs to be as safe as fossil fuels, or even slightly less safe, if the benefits are higher.

This always bothers me. People freak out about LiIon battery failures, or hydrogen, or ammonia, or nuclear power. But here we are with an entire economy riding on an explosive, firey, dirty fuel that is already causing global climate problems.

Safety concerns should be kept on-par with what we have today. Let’s not throw out a good solution because it can be dangerous in some cases. Any high-energy-dense thing we switch to after fossil fuels is going to release that energy if handled improperly. That concern should be quite low on the list.
Probably, but Apple re-used a bunch of the other pins for all kinds of signaling that's not USB.

And had room left over for a proper line-level audio output... heaven forbid that they'd have that today. I still use a Lightning-to-30-pin adapter that has this audio output, and it functions correctly... in that the phone's volume setting has no effect on the level coming from the line out, so you only have the volume control on the amp to deal with.
If the hydrogen is fairly pure and the amount is question is small, then sure: combustion will happen at the hydrogen-air interface. If it mixes with air before ignition, then it can burn all a once, and Wikipedia informs me that “the limits of detonability of hydrogen in air are 18.3% to 59% by volume.”. Yes, it will literally detonate with supersonic flame velocity.

I once got to watch some moderately crazy students fill an ordinary party balloon with a stoichiometric mix of hydrogen and oxygen at ambient temperature and pressure. When it was ignited, the result was extremely impressive. No one was injured (because we were all warned to protect our ears and open our mouths and balloons don’t produce significant shrapnel), but the shock wave was not at all subtle.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_safety
If you do this at Sea Level when Air Pressure is the barometric mean pressure with nothing but H2O, yes. Otherwise, not exactly, in ways that require formulas to quantify. Metrology is the dirtiest of all sciences, it does not grant simplicity.

Anyways.. the counter example was the old definition of the Ampere:

"the constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length of negligible circular cross section and placed one metre apart in a vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10−7 newton per metre of length."
