Hello, I'm a senior year engineering student at the University of Waterloo pursuing in AI. I'm looking for a full time new grad position in ML/AI engineering. I have 2 years of work experience and my work in data processing is being patented by my previous company. I have machine learning and deep learning experience both in academia and work. Looking to relocate to the US, ideally Bay Area, NYC, or Boston. I graduate in April 2024.
Transport union in Norway is considering to join, to prevent Tesla from shipping their cars to Sweden through Norway. I would be surprised if any of the big unions in any Nordic country stays out of this for long. Allowing Musk to win this would set a very bad precedent.

Somewhat off topic but it is quite stunning to me that American carriers just leave the package at the door. I lived in different European countries and in all of them the expectation is that the mailman (official mail, or any of the services like dhl, ups, etc) will ring the bell. If you don't answer they will ring the neighbour and then take it back and either try again another day or you can go to a pickup point. Instead the U.S. has an entire category of devices to avoid package theft when the solution lies in holding carriers to account. I don't want to open the garage for Amazon or Bol or any other delivery company...
I don't want an AI agent, I want simplicity. My phone should make my life less complicated. It seems like every new feature achieves the opposite.
> If trans people have such an obvious advantage why aren't they dominating every single category of every single strength-involving event?

Because there are fewer of them competing. Not every man is more athletic than every woman, but the most athletic men are more athletic than the most athletic women.

If me, as a man, tries competing in a women's weightlifting competition, I wouldnt do well, but I wouldn't do well in the male category either. But if you take competitive male athletes and have them compete against females, they will be incredibly competitive.
Nothing prevents Nigerians from setting up Mastodon servers.

The point of federation is not to force people to talk to people they don't like (for whatever reasons).
When a system is completely broken for most end users, some companies call it "degraded performance" when it should be, in fact, called "major outage".
And when the government is in on it as well and gives the unions and employer organizations room to be innovative and flexible with one another, then it’s even a net gain over having the government giving detailed guidelines for everything
EU was designed to be run by technocrats and, as much as possible, totally insulated from any kind of democracy. There's no "devolution" going on here.
> Just look at mastodon.social/explore

.social is but one of hundreds of instances. That's also what the parent comment was trying to say - we don't have to be drones, all unified under the same social server.

You're welcome to find an instance that aligns with your mindset or create one and shape it the way you like.
> Enterprise bargaining in the US is more zero sum game between companies and workers. Everything you give to workers, reduces competitive edge against non-union competitors. It's in company interest to fight unions as much as possible.

I suppose they will always hide behind “competitive” edge. The more naked truth seems to be that between the stakeholders of the CEO+board of directors v.s. workers—avoiding the nebolous “company interest”—there is always inherently a zero sum game. Like one of the automative CEOs in the US who boasted about how she was paid according to her performance—her performance being, among other things, directly related to how low she could keep wages for the rank and file.

RFCs are great if they incur discussion but not so if no one reads them at all. The latter happens more often than I'd like to admit.
It's always worked very well for me for decades.

I wouldn't ever ask whether or not I'll get an SAR, though. That sort of question is pointless. Instead, I just treat my bank as a core partner to my business and include them in my plans. The side-effect is that nothing I do looks suspicious to them.
The 2018 Macbooks had already 8 or 16GB, I'd argue in 5 years the average space needed for a program has significantly risen since then, causing greater wear now then in 2016/2018.

I think at reasonable sustainable fitness planning & weight change goals the BMR changes aren’t a significant factor. My target is to lose about 0.9% body weight per week. I did some napkin math numbers before starting my plan and decided not to worry about it much, and in my case seem to be fine.

I went from somewhere around 2400kcal daily to 1600kcal daily while eating 3 meals and lifting for 30min a day and my estimated resting energy expenditure per day by Withings & Apple Health is down about 60kcal over ~4 months. They’re not super accurate sources, but at current rates I’ll hit my target minimum weight before my estimated resting expenditure has dropped -100kcal.
The smallest current vaguely mainstream phone IMO is the Asus Zenfone 10 at 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm. The iPhone 13 mini is 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.65mm. Then you have weird stuff: https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2022&fDisplay... so perhaps by the time your phone dies the Cubot Pocket 4 or 5 will be your answer.

Cosmetic changes like different colors and materials make it possible to distinguish who has the latest model and who has last year's as well as between the base and the pro models. It may seem pretty subtle, but status signaling is often subtle at the high end.
A few months ago I was looking exactly for that and I settled on the Pixel 7a (with GraoheneOS, clearly). I am very happy with it!
Not to mention, you're still the product by producing content for their system and being reachable on/promoting their system.
I do agree with you in general. However, while containers were being invented to solve this problem, Go was also solving this problem.

For the most part, for the most common simple Go applications, if you build the same code with the same version of Go installed, you'll get the same dependencies and the same artifact.

Building Go applications in containers is not necessary in general, and doing so makes it much more complicated to share a build cache. You can of course do it with enough additions to your Dockerfile, but why bother?

If your developer team and CI environment are all using a similar recent Go, they shouldn't have different behavior using ko together.
It's a long story, I was a legitimate editor for a about a year and just built up a grudge which turned into making more unhelpful edits until I got banned. Wikipedia is not a good environment for when things go wrong.
I wonder why it is that the Netherlands hosts 77% of urls for child exploitation

I'm not sure if this anecdotal point is applicable but I have run into many shady server resellers in the Netherlands. Oddly a couple of them are just down the street from The Hague. It was so prevalent for so long that I used one of them to do all my port scanning from a long while back. Pretty much anything goes. They would just forward abuse@ reports to the server renter so they were aware. I was expecting them to drain my throw-away bank but it turned out there is still some honor among thieves. Either that or some of them are honeypots. Other clients were the only issues I ran into. They would steal my IP addresses so I had to steel them back. no L2 port protection. I don't know much of this is still true so it's just a data point.
They don't reduce request count. For example, Chrome only allows 6 concurrent connections (requests).

If you load 10 images in 1 request, you've reduced network latency and avoided the connection limit.

Writing both the tip and total adds redundancy which helps to avoid data entry mistakes.
Homekit provides this as well, and by default is local only. There really is no excuse for these devices not to support homekit out of the box other than a money grab.
We're talking about the difference between not rushing into a collapsing room to search for victims versus just refusing to go into a burning building because it's dangerous. Of course in a firefight cops should focus on winning first before attempting to render aid, that's common sense. That doesn't mean they should be allowed to aggressively escalate encounters up to killing someone who is rational and compliant just because they are armed.
A gentle reminder that the Security+ and Security+ 2.0 RF protocols have been reverse engineered (https://github.com/argilo/secplus). While they are not the most secure thing in the world, you can build a custom RF transmitter (remote) that is network connected.

Having done some research into Chamberlain's products, I don't recommend anyone to use them if they have the choice.
The idea of a social first internet is that each person would maintain their own trust graph, rather than relying exclusively on centralized authorities to do so. It's a lot easier to game google than to try and astroturf the entire internet, and it's harder for google to quickly tweak ranking algorithms to fix some bad results than it is to revoke trust in the social graph from a bad actor.
Bethesda recently announced there won't be a Quake Pro League next year, massively depressing news. IMO Quake is peerless in its mechanical skill and speed requirements, truly one of the most challenging games in the world, like comparing Go to lesser strategic games.

MusicXML is pretty much the game in town as far as open formats go. Lilypond is an open TeX-like format, but it's really a domain-specific programming language for Lilypond itself.

I find the ideal building height to be up to 6 floors at most - anything more makes the streets start to feel a bit too claustrophobic and the area less "neighborly".
Educating young people and restricting the very young access, is a cheaper and more effective policy of curtailing and routing out such images. I found the cherry picked stats rather iffy on enough dot org.

> If trans people have such an obvious advantage why aren't they dominating every single category of every single strength-involving event?

Because there aren't that many trans women who compete in women's sports.

Neither of your quotes is close to a good argument. If you want to answer this question empirically, look at statistics (race times, lbs lifted, etc) and women's competitions where trans women competed.
Running QBJ2 in a modern source port is really simple: unpack the QBJ2 and the source port into the game dir, run the executable, switch with "game qbj2" in the console. Personally, I prefer https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake because it allows disabling texture smoothing. Too bad vkQuake development has been put on stop recently.
> It would be great if that could become public, too

Absolutely, that would be awesome

> Though I'm unsure as to how you would prevent bias from entering the model.

My only thought here is that something like the Hacker News model works pretty well (at least in theory). You would focus on norms of communication rather than on the content being expressed.

You'd still get bias for things like one community may prefer things very deferential. Another might value frank communication. But presumably nobody likes screaming or brigading. I think you're less likely to get left/right style biases if you focus on the quality of the communication rather than its content.

An approach like this would still miss important things. For example, you can say very toxic things in a civil voice. So you'd likely have to combine different orthogonal signals to have any sort of guarantee that your site isn't slowly drifting into a place where people know how to consistently violate the rules while evading detection.

The solution is to "give my tech whiz kid/neighbor/friend, or a local IT shop two blocks over, the responsibility of managing my home network".

This is where ideas like non-shit IoT, Right to Repair, Free (Libre) Software, and even "how to not fuck up foreign aid 101", all converge. The point isn't to make everyone their tech support. The point is to allow local communities to be more self-sufficient, able to manage technology on their own - as opposed to outsourcing everything to some faceless companies that have no attachment to any given community.

Note that this doesn't preclude business - on the contrary, local businesses are the fundamental part of any community larger than couple dozen people; the ideas converge not on everyone doing stuff pro bono, but on small, local businesses* doing things for their communities, accumulating and retaining know-how.

I wish more people from aforementioned movements realized their ultimate goal (at least in form that's possible in the real world) is the same, and joined forces.
> "Improved durability with stronger build quality, less impressive upgrades among new smartphone releases, and an uncertain macroeconomic environment have all contributed to the malaise we are seeing in the US smartphone market."

Seems about right. The value prop for phone upgrades hasn't felt great for a while. Prices are higher but what was the last killer new smartphone feature? Feels like we are waiting for some new technology to make phones exciting again (or change the category in a big way).
Thanks! The correct authors are Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik.
I could've sworn I played a video game which had that exact data center as a level.

I thought it was Splinter Cell Conviction or Blacklist, but so far I'm failing to find any screenshots.
I'd also add try and give monetary support content creators that you enjoy. Consuming things for free then relying on ads to pay the people that make things is part of how we got to this point.

Also in response to your edit, isn't the entire point of Hacker News about discovery? One thing we could do right here on is have a weekly thread for people to post general places on the internet they find interesting (webpages, services, communities) but perhaps don't feel like they constitute a unique thread of their own.
Precisely. A huge amount of work in every field never sees the light of day. That doesn't mean it's not important, it just means the person doing the work is curating what goes "above the waterline" and what stays in the background as prep.

The obvious example of this same thing in literature is Tolkein, who invented whole alphabets and languages but only included tiny fragments of them in his published works (prior to his death - obviously his estate has been releasing everything remorselessly).

Or an example from a totally unrelated field, there are lots of cases in say maths where you have to do a bunch of work to choose a value but that's considered "scratch work" so gets removed when you submit the final version. So everyone sees your epsilon-delta proof of a limit for example, they see your brilliant choice of delta but the work you put into finding the delta isn't part of the proof. The proof just shows that choice of delta makes the proof work for any epsilon. Noone reading it gets to know how you figured that out, because that's not what a proof is for.

In the case of games, the artwork that isn't released is part of the worldbuilding and refining the concept for the game. It's absolutely not wasted effort even if it's never seen by anyone outside the dev team.
I didn't mean "structuring" in the legal sense, I meant it in the technical sense (arranging transactions in order to avoid something).

I find it's much easier to engage in a 15 minute phone call than to do multiple transactions over a number of days. You may find it different, of course.
Even in perfect conditions there's a lot of reasons not to bike.

Distances are more difficult, you can't bring someone with you, your carrying capacity is much smaller for shopping trips. It also just plain takes longer to get anywhere and people just don't like spending more time than they have to on errands.
> It's just an empty protocol to prove their purpose of existence in the company.

Sounds like he came from a pretty bad development environment. I am sad to think this is what he communicated to young developers.

These meetings can help to surface problems, provide a shared space to refine work as a team, create a plan against available resources... All of this helps developers move faster and ship more frequently.
Money, Assignment, and Team — if any of these two are shitty then find a new job. But be honest with yourself.
Add generational lens.

I barely recognize much of the 70's and 80's history on wiki. A lot of it clearly wasn't written by someone who lived through it, and if it isn't linkable it basically doesn't exist. History is written by the victors, and they only do the internet. All those books, newspaper and magazine articles of that era just don't exist outside of libraries and microfiche and it's clear none of those wiki editors are going there.

I've seen younger people start to complain about this as link rot reaches into their generation.

At least academics have standards, even if they don't always follow them.
Still with SD cards and headphone jacks? The world has moved on, my man.
I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but if I may try to interpret: it sounds like you want to go back to an Internet with not nearly so many people on it, where the culture of "being online" was more homogeneous.

One can imagine why that's a problem in a world of 8 billion people, all of whom (some say) have a right to be online.
Nah, the wolf just pays a minimal fee to the IoT provider so it unlocks every door on the pig's house.
This is not 100% true, in 2008 you could have a MB/P and upgrade the RAM manually to have better price/performance then most other laptop manufacturers. Today this looks different looking at the "components per dollar" ratio due to the impossibility to swap yourself.

> For example, let’s say your maximum budget is $4000, and you need 64GB of RAM to run those simulations

I can get a lenovo for nearly half the price, and it feels good, and runs long enough. The other things are nice to have, but weight and heat come with the territory, if I buy a simulation monster I don't buy a small leightweight lifestyle laptop.
"I generally think there really are two kinds of people in the world, having an internal versus an external locus of control. So if you have internal you believe the things that happen in your life are actually more product of what you do and and the actions that you take. So you believe a lot more you're holding the reign on your own life."
In my opinion having a yearly big release is not great for users. Feature and fixes should that could roll out weekly are artificially delayed to the next major release only because of the pricing model.
That’s encouraging to hear.
Thank you. This is a better version of something I said in another comment.
This is the kind of thing that people here in HN believe? No wonder you're looking forward to electrics then.
Fantastic work from these artists, the engine really just lends itself to these environments it seems!

As a side Anyone know of a good way to get the geometry of Quake maps out as a 3d model? I thought it would be quite cool to view these on the web. Either individual buildings or as a fly-through.

Edit:

Found the following leads:

1. https://github.com/sbuggay/bspview
2. https://github.com/passiomatic/elm-quake3-renderer

If you download the jam, go into the "maps" folder and on the following url, https://sbuggay.github.io/bspview/ (1), use the "Load Map" button you can see a basic version (broken skyboxes) if you load a .bsp file.
Teslas argument against this has been that they provide better terms already.

> I focus on problems because I want to improve on them.

Does this work, though? Does the complaining lead to improvements?

I'm posing the question as a challenge, and also out of curiosity. And I'm of the school of thought that it's necessary to acknowledge reality, but, complaining to the point where people think I despise what I'm complaining about may indicate that another approach may be necessary (such as finding practical solutions and giving yourself options that you can test out).

Apologies if being presumptuous.
I had this vision long ago with household appliances (from different vendors) waging war in our homes. Looks like we've finally made it there.
If your chip is fabricated on a flat rectangular piece of silicon, that would involve links running from each edge, across the chip, to the other edge, in both orientations. I can imagine that would be very demanding of chip resources, slow, etc.

If your chip is fabricated on the surface of a torus, or on a rectangle in highly curved space, then it would be a very natural architecture. But i am not aware of any chips that are.
But we decided on one singular truth and literally censored/banned and/or publically shamed all other variants.

You get vaccinated, you won't get ill, won't spread the virus, herd immunity, end of covid. At a time, this was the one and only acceptable truth, and everything else, from low efficiency of vaccine, sideffects, "you'll nfect grandma, even if you're vaccinated", "there will never be herd immunity" was considered a fringe conspiracy theory.

Choosing and promoting ideas is different from straight up censorship, shaming and worse.
People also have some luck on other diets by having a "cheat day" one day every week or so.

I mean, eating well 85% of the time is better than not doing it at all and most folks will still run an overall calorie deficit. And for a lot of people, if they can make 75-85% of their food decently healthy, they'll be better off.
