>that argument often falls flat because the blocked adverts still get counted as delivered as they leave the relevant server and are blocked from rendering client-side

And this counter-argument falls flat because YouTube must be able to detect which users are blocking ads in order to show them a message to disable ad blocking. If YouTube is detecting that situation and still counting blocked ads as delivered then they're cheating their customers. There are only three possibilities:

1. YouTube can't tell if user A is blocking ads, so the customer gets billed for an impression that didn't happen, but the user also can't be stopped from blocking the ad.

2. YouTube can tell when user A blocks ads, and must shoulder the cost of delivering a video without a corresponding ad impression. The argument I brought up addresses this.

3. YouTube can tell when user A blocks ads, and changes the customer anyway. In this case YT would have no incentive to stop people from blocking ads.
The mustache was branding. It was a fashion trend, made so by Charlie Chaplin. Of course, it became so much associated with Hitler, that any mustache now is immediately hitleresque.

Voting absolutely has to be paper based, or at the very least leave a physical audit trail. Voting, as it is, works for millions of people on a regular basis, billions actually. And none of the shenenigans going on have anything to do with medium used, and everything with people in power deciding to make voting as hard as possible. There is nothing intetnet tech can bring tonthe table that would improve voting.

As far as I can tell the algorithm was not flawed. At least not in the sense that is produced different outputs than intended. The algorithm was designed to favor older patients, and it did just that. The result was that older patients received more livers. As was the intention.

So it not an algorithm that is flawed, it is a policy that is flawed. A policy that flawlessly and fairly executed by algorithm exactly as it was designed.

I'm not saying the policy was bad or fair. I have no idea to be honest. If you have one liver and two patients, then it's always going to be hard choice. But I don't think it is helpful to say the algorithm was misbehaving when it was not.

In fact, as mentioned in article, the outcomes of the algorithm are regularly checked by humans. And when they found a genuine bug (misclassifying people with liver cancer) the algorithm was fixed. Isn't that more or less exactly what you want. Humans thinking about policy, then having a computer executing the policy, while humans regularly check its output to see if the algorithm aligns with the intention.

Oh no. It may be the height. Mexico city is 2,240 meters over sea level. Might be hard for a heart that is not used to it.

I believe this is how my grand mother died. She fainted at the airport when they arrived to Mexico city. She was discharged and then in the morning she woke up for a few minutes, exchanged a few words with my Mom, it was my Moms birthday, closed her eyes and died. She came from a small city at only 1,600 mt, my grand father had died just 6 days before after a long struggle with cancer. So member of the family think it was my grand father that came for her. But I think it was the elevation and her heart.
If there’s a dedicated decision maker they can fend off “how much more” by sticking to some design aesthetic of “build good thing, be happy with 60% margin.”

But that’s pretty rare and hard to know as there’s also lots of single owner 4hourworkweekers trying to wring extra money out of subscribers and selling $3 shirts for $50 or whatever.

Yeah I agree it makes it easier to eat less calories, and it's a simple rule to follow.
Sometimes I might count calories also, but if I just eat within the window it is unlikely I'll go over.

However, one unforseen side effect for me is that I sleep better on an empty stomach and feel better when I wake.
Copper was not always easy to work with in semiconductor chips. When I started in the industry in the 1990's all the wiring was aluminum. Articles about copper for wiring were research projects and which company would be the first to get it to mass production.

IBM was the first in 1997 and then others followed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_interconnects

That's how technology is. Things start out hard and with a lot of work and time we invent new methods.
Aluminum was once worth more than gold. Then we invented new processes of extraction and refinement.

> (BTW, the reason he had a toothbrush mustache (even though many advised him to shave it because it provided cannon fodder for caricaturists) is because he thought his nose was big and a mustache distracted from it.)

Actually it was a common mustache style through the 1940s. It marked the wearer as a WWI trench veteran as it would fit under the gas mask. Until the outbreak of conflict with Germany in 1938 it was quite common in the UK and France as well as Germany, Austria, and Italy, as can easily be verified by any number of contemporaneous photos. Note that the toothbrush mustache was worn by veterans of all classes in Peaky Blinders, for example.

The small mustache actually accentuated the size of his nose, but he was proud (and it was valuable) for him to be a veteran.
But that’s not what the article is saying at all?

One possibility that occurs to me is that various people might have reported the border checkpoint to Apple Maps as a blockage in the past, in order to get it to give them a route around it.

Not that this absolves Apple, of course, since they should absolutely be checking these things better.

> A Christian preacher who was found guilty of harassing a transgender woman by calling her a "man" and "gentleman" has had his conviction quashed.

From what I understand, the 'harassment' claim was based on the misgendering, not the preaching. It sounds as if the court later overturned the claim, but the fact he was charged at all is a tad unsettling to me.

In NYC I walk past preachers at Union Square all the time. I've been called a heretic and a sinner, you just gotta shrug it off. It sounds like in this case, the trans person who felt victimized actually _initiated_ the conversation.

> Earlier, the court saw video footage from the preacher's body-worn camera which showed Ms Munir approaching Mr McConnell as he spoke to a small crowd. She was seen to ask him: "Does God accept the LBGT community?"

So the complementary case here would be if I approached one of the Black Hebrew Israelites in Union Square and asked them how they felt about Catholics, and got the response you'd expect. Do you really think I'd have grounds for a 'harassment' claim?

Like I said, I'm not English, this isn't my country. If the voters of the UK want this type of protection through power of the law, who am I to tell them otherwise. I'm just observing that I'm pleased to live in a country where disagreeing on gender politics isn't enough to land you a criminal record.

I was a programmer/am still sort of one. And I think a better filter is to be good at something and be able to look at the work of others and evaluate them quickly.

Or to have a work system that allows for lots of contributions to filter people’s work without requiring 40 hours of interviews.

The resume filter by education is used because it’s easy. Graduating from Harvard isn’t perfect. But it’s a fast way to filter out lots of candidates when you don’t have time.

Remix Is Incredible – If It Fits Your Use Case
I guess it's because there isn't much demand. If this takes off, prices will too.
I don't think there is a good answer to this, unfortunately. I can't speak as a "solopreneur" because I'm not that, but I'm a consulting engineer doing platform and infra-layer work for small businesses that don't have the resources to do it themselves, and I can at least say where and why I see them fail.

Largely, they have the problem you have. They don't know how to hire. We get some initial POC/MVP services up and running, but then it comes time to monitor, secure, upgrade, actually run the software for the long term, and they try to bring in people who can do that, but don't even know what to ask in an interview because they have no knowledge of these fields of practice themselves. The main company I'm working with right now has hired three guys to try and do all of the basic maintenance and daily operational work and they've so far fired all three. They either messed up badly from not knowing what they were doing, or at least realized they didn't know what they were doing, but also couldn't learn, and this company doesn't want to be wasting the money they're spending paying me to be a teacher, and I don't want to be a teacher.

I think my advice would be advice a lot of solos don't want to hear. Unless you're a genius polymath with at least inch-deep knowledge of virtually everything related to computing, which gets harder and harder as time passes and there is more to know, don't try to do it alone. Have co-founders that augment your gaps. Technically competent investors with expertise in how to staff at the executive level so you'll have others with you who at least know what to look in staff and how to hire, or can help you separate wheat from chaff if you're trying to use headhunters.

Also, don't be in such a hurry. Whether it's get more runway, cut costs elsewhere, I don't know, but take your time and do it right. Going through cycles of hiring the wrong person, having to fire them, and then doing it all over again, is disruptive, destructive, and will get you a bad reputation to the point no one reputable will even want to work for you.

Otherwise, your best shot is to get lucky. That happens enough at scale that the market is full of people who got lucky, but it doesn't mean the probability of success is high when explicitly using "get lucky" as a strategy. You can't just look at what the top people did and copy them any more than you can watch Usain Bolt's training videos and hope to become a great sprinter by doing whatever he does.
Yup. The research group I work with builds a lot of custom camera parts (mostly 3D printed) for different projects, and we keep a bottle of Black 3.0 around to coat internal surfaces. We'll pick up some 4.0 shortly.

It's a quick and easy way to guarantee light-tightness and kill internal reflections.
Of course it’s not beneficial per se to auto makers but it’s relatively more troublesome for smaller automakers than bigger ones. Unless they are focused solely on providing cars that are easy to repair of course. In that case they will be given a government mandated market advantage in true communist fashion.

Aider has had an Exercism benchmarking suite for quite some time.

Interestingly, my benchmark results of GPT 4 Turbo show an opposite result: the new gpt-4-1106-preview did significantly better on the first try than the March and June models.

https://aider.chat/docs/benchmarks-1106.html

Aider benchmarks against the 133 Exercism python exercises, not js exercises that mentat's benchmark uses. So this is not an apples-to-apples comparison, but there doesn't seem to be a strong reason to expect qualitatively different results.

I also notice that the instructions prompt that mentat uses seems to be inspired by the aider benchmark? Glad to see others adopting similar benchmarking approaches.

Edit: Not sure if the mentat authors are in this thread? After looking around a bit, there seems to be a bunch of aider code in your repo. Some attribution would be appreciated. It might even be required under aider's Apache 2.0 license?

Ask HN: More Co-op games I can carry my 5 year old through?
I am trying to keep my son off of ad riddled tablet games when he gets some electronics time. I have a short list of good couch co-op games I can "carry" him through because he is still learning and finds a lot of game frustrating, especially newer more complex games.

Does anyone have good suggestions for games similar to the following?

- Kirby Dream Land (SNES)

- Super Smash Bros Brawl: Adventure Mode

- TMNT: Turtles in Time

- Spiritfarer

Kirby for me nails the forgiving second player mechanic by making them unable to fall to death, easy extra life, I can essentially force progression by moving forward and he just flies towards me at a certain point. The balance just feels right in that game and the others mentioned. Only problem is I can't seem to find a wealth of games that hit this sweet spot.

Any ideas HN crowd?
That's an awesome resource! Thank you for sharing.
Hopefully BabaBASIC will be able to run any of these games at some point of time.

My first explorations as a child were more around math/algorithms/graphic functions. Not sure why I was never particularly drawn to games as a child ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

This sort of thing won't convince HNers or iOS Devs or other software devs who heavily use Mac hardware but it will convince tech journalists who aren't as tech savvy as they like to think they are who will spread the 'good news' to enthusiastic Apple buyers.

> One major problem that Re6Se8Cl2 faces is that rhenium is one of the rarest elements on Earth. This makes Re6Se8Cl2 very expensive and unlikely to ever make its way into a commercial product.

I call BS. It is rare, true. But it is found in reasonable concentrations in some minerals (alongside molybdenum) that are already being mined and we just need to learn to extract rhenium out of it. For high perf semiconductors you only need microscopic amounts of it anyway.

As to costs, majority of the costs are not in substrates anyway, however costly they are. The costs are in IP and in processing. I suspect even if silicon was as expensive as gold it would not meaningfully change the cost of current high-end CPUs that go into our phones.

(edited, I mistakenly wrote ruthenium where I meant rhenium)
I also have an M1 with 16GB, what are you doing that you feel it's "normally under memory pressure"? I don't feel any memory pressure but I might not be able to see the signs, or have a different workflow (if you regularly edit photos, videos, 3D, ML, etc. then _of course_ the more RAM the better, but for normal webdev?)

I know Docker isn't something Apple makes, but still, this makes me laugh. I run a fair number of containers as part of my daily workflow and the memory overhead, compared to a generic linux amd64 box running the same thing, is on the order of 10x. So for me it's actually more like, 8GB on an M machine == 1GB "regular" RAM.

Thanks for sharing that article, there's also another recent one with plenty of references about the clusterfuck of the current situation:

https://www.normalcyfugitive.com/p/the-pandemic-isnt-over

One thing that (by skimming again) both articles don't touch is: excess deaths.

I've seen people suggest that we're "past it", because the excess deaths (compared to 2 years before) are now subsiding... While ignoring the fact that excess deaths compared to 2 year before are comparing against when the first few COVID spikes happened (and we didn't have vaccines, so mortality was even higher).

We need to compare our society excess mortality to 2019 (and/or average of years preceding 2020), for the foreseeable future :/

That said, I'm not spending 100% of my day worrying about COVID, and I don't take as many precautions as I could... I wear FFP2 masks in public transport, but I usually don't bother in the office, for example

- removing the frame around windows: prettier, but now I don’t know if I’ll be resizing the window or pressing the “hang up” button that goes right to the edge.

- window title bars that no longer change color when in focus: prettier, but now I don’t know which window has focus.

- buttons without a 3D effect or even a border at all: prettier but now we don’t know what is a button or not.
