When the time comes to retire, a criminal can sell the brand name they have built, sell the accumulated data they have backed up, or keep the backup as a bargaining chip. Of course, they might have already needed to leak all the data to the local authorities in exchange for protection. Or their employees might have made copies. Unlike kidnapping, data can be ransomed many times. You are paying just to delay the leak, hopefully until after you have retired and it is someone else's problem or people have stopped caring. And if you never publicly announced the leak, hopefully until after you are dead and nobody can sue you for securities fraud or similar.
One A1B is enough to power/propel a carrier. They have 2 A1B in case one engine faults/maintenance, they have another one available. Most ships have backups for major systems.
To elaborate, if you understand the difference between "the song", "the name of the song", "what the song is called", and "what the name of the song is called", you're probably going to be able to grok pointers without much trouble.
> Yet. Hippos still roam the jungles of Colombia freely. I'm sure they've even killed a few Americans. Nobody cares.

Because what's there to care about? It's normal hippos. Not dinosaurs. Not even genetically engineered hippos. Animals roaming the wilderness and occasionally killing people is still a normal occurrence. Has been everywhere around the world, and it always ends the same way: people start using technology to defend themselves effectively, and to develop the land they live on, and expand their reach, and suddenly they need to self-constrain in hopes they don't extinct the previously dangerous animal.

> Australians fought a war against emus and lost. The tumbleweed war in the American prairie is going nowhere.

Which is why I mentioned large animals. Low r, high K. Not rabbits, that can breed as fast as you can make bullets, but more like elephants, which are all too easy to hunt down to extinction. Jurassic Park dinosaurs were more like the latter than the former.

> You seem to have this limitless faith in human ingenuity against nature that just doesn't make any sense. You open biological cans of worms, and it's going to take more resources than it's worth to fix properly.

Yes, I do. And that faith includes awareness that we can just as well destroy ourselves with that power (we're part of nature too, after all). This is why avoiding stupidity is important. This includes stupidity of the flavor I'm criticizing here.

> How many billions went into containing Chernobyl? And it's still not fixed.

That has little to do with nuclear power per se, and much more to do with why some parts of US still drink water contaminated with heavy metals. That, and most recently, war.

> You just seem to want to give carte blanche to the Elon Musk's of the world because you want to believe they can dig us out of holes rather than dig us further into them.

Carte blanche is a bit much, but I definitely put more trust in Musk and Gates and anyone who's trying to directly tackle real problems with science, technology and resourcefulness, over randos constantly whining about "playing god" or "hubris", etc. - who don't even believe in their own bullshit, because if they did, they'd all pack up and find some nice caves to live in. Because seriously - how else do people think we can dig ourselves up of the holes we're in? The answer has always been human ingenuity.

Hah, I had Greensleeves in my head since I was a kid with a digital watch that could play that song and some others. I had the feeling that I had heard it before that somehow. Many years later I suddenly hear that one somewhere and since then it's properly stuck in my head. Now I use it to get other songs un-stuck. Works wonders :-)

Just give your favored person leetcode easy questions and your non favored person leetcode hard...

Those interviews are designed around favoritism.

Additionally favored people can skip the interview with the right managers approval.

Whe I worked at LinkedIn it was almost 100% Indians on my team and the rest of the department was like 75% non-American.

The chain of command is literally all Indian people except Ryan R.
I seem to recall that when EasyJet showed up, they really popularized the concept of budget airlines. The idea of being able to travel to mainland Europe for less than it would cost to buy lunch was a game changer.
Yeah my semi-hot take is that type annotations in functions is a feature not a bug. It forces legible interfaces (with the exception of nasty generics I suppose).
The voters are pandered to, no sane policy can survive the senate.

The reality is that without immigration, this work will just shift to India, full stop. Visa sponsorship is a plum that benefits the outsourcer in their recruitment.

The current system very much benefits the US. Work visa holders pay taxes, support the local economy, and navigate a difficult journey to a green card and citizenship.

When you let populists rile up “the voters”, you get what’s happened in agriculture. Long standing seasonal migration get harder, and the farming moves to Mexico. We let the packinghouse unions get busted, and now there’s an environmental disaster in feed lots and rural facilities.
Home owners bought their houses in the past. Affordability indicators look at present rates.
Yeah, literally not one of the people I'm thinking of that bought a MacBook in those days cared about extending/modifying or hacking it. Not even adding RAM. They were legitimately good machines with a good operating system, that worked really well for these people. I was "the designated tech guy" for basically everyone I knew in those days, and I got almost zero queries about these Macs in those days. BTW, this was in Vancouver, Canada, not in US. Either way in NA the Apple platform had a serious resurgence then. The MacBooks were actually seriously solid in comparison to equivalently-spec'ed Dell or HP laptops, and those manufacturers didn't even come close in terms of hardware quality (especially the trackpad). Combined with the skyrocketing popularity of the iPod, there's really no doubt it was a good time for Apple and its users.
A lot of it might be hearsay or exaggerations.
Of course, but the particular exercises I'm referring to are ones that I think the vast majority of people neglect, and would be the most beneficial to both athleticism and overall mobility.

Some exercise routines are better than others. If you want to get stronger overall, you probably want to do something like PPL. If you want to have a more robust and athletic lower body, the exercises recommended by the knees over toes guy are probably what you want. He didn't invent them (although I think he actually did play a role in making the tib bar a piece of equipment you can easily find and buy), but he's done a better job than anyone else I've seen of synthesizing it all.
Most of Nanite (at least, everything but the LOD system, I haven't tried that part, and the compute rasterizer due to lack of storage image atomics because Metal lacks them...) is implementable in WebGPU actually.

I have a PR that does a lot of the same things (meshlets, visbuffer, material depth, two pass occlusion culling) open for Bevy https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10164 that I've been working on, which uses WebGPU.

WebGPU is actually a pretty good API imo. It's missing some advanced features like raytracing, mesh shaders, and subgroup operations (coming soon!), but it can still do a lot.

The much bigger missing feature is "bindless" support (non-uniform arrays of bound resources). BindGroup overhead (and ergonomics) is a significant downside.
You might want to try Ketamine. In some countries it's now available legally from neurologists as nose spray. If not, get it from the dark net or a friend in the rave community. Or ask as friend who is a veterinarian. You get mix your own nose spray with that.

Before Ketamine, I never in my life had been able to get into a group of people with them being closer than about 50cm to me. Which means: I could never join a dancefloor.

With Ketamine, that poof went away, and I could.

The same happened for a couple of my neurodiverse friends. One girl her hole life could not be in the same room as others while eating. Now she can.

A single dose also has anti-depressant effects for five days.

Interestingly, it's now in some countries allowed to be used as treatment for social anxiety after positives studies on that. On the other hand, there is now a clinical study that say it's not better than a placebo. Weird.

However, for me (and my nerd friends) the before/after effect is so drastic, I can rule out a placebo effect. My neurologist agrees. I trust clinical studies and always consult them, but something must have gone wrong there.

And yes, this is a good example of a substance that in many countries can get you into jail, while in other countries it can make a most DRAMATIC positive change in your life.
The strategy was to first secure the rural high school, and then the cows would be defenseless.

But "Red Dawn" (1984) did have some redeeming qualities as a film, and apparently it was influential in at least one way...

Circa '96, I was talking with grad student from the former USSR (attending a US Ivy university), and I got the impression that the film had been taken more seriously there than it was here.

Like they thought it was some influential propaganda that people in the US fervently believed: the Communists will invade the heartland of America, and you should prepare to engage in guerilla warfare with your guns.

On second thought, I suppose it's possible some people did get that message, especially some demographic of gun-enthusiasts. IIRC, the movie has the invaders getting the list of registered gun owners, which sounds like a sensitive policy question. But I'd wildly guess only 50/50 chance that any US student at the Ivy in '96 had seen the '84 movie, though they would've had about the right age overlap.
Same situation here. I do enjoy vertical tabs. I think edge has the best implementation of them.
We're currently dealing with this with my grandmother. She is absolutely not okay with anything being removed from her house, and the best we've come up with is to periodically have one or two people organize her attic and have a clear set of things which we know we need to go through when she dies and a set of boxes we know we can just toss. Even with this, it's looking like weeks of work.
I am very excited for this. There's a few things in here that are particularly exciting.

> We would prefer to extend Wayland rather than running in parallel with Wayland via D-Bus as AT-SPI does

I do not know if this is going to manage to make it past every compositor developer, and I'm particularly concerned that Mutter might not take well to it, but I think it is a good thing to put accessibility and automation directly into Wayland rather than off to the side. It should be first-class and front-and-center.

> This document uses the terms “client” and “provider” as defined by Microsoft’s UI Automation (UIA) API

I view it as another positive sign that Windows UI Automation is being used as any kind of inspiration, as even if it's a bit of a rat's nest of COM, it is a fairly complete API for accessibility.

Some of the goals go beyond what even Windows does, and that's a great sign. I really, really hope this project goes well.
What's for certain is that it would increase money supply

With all due respect, you don't know that. The more well thought out UBI systems are fiscally balanced. They increase taxes enough to pay for UBI. The average taxpayer would receive a tax increase for the same amount as the UBI they receive. People with less than average income would see a smaller tax increase and Bill Gates would see his taxes go up by much more than the UBI he would receive.
The project goal of not competing on features, but allow for easy extension, is absolutely the right decision.

I remember on a project over a decade ago we had to choose the right data grid component to use. Our customers wanted “excel like” functionality. The number of possible features that the different component vendors had to create was so so long. There were easily 200 “little” distinct features, and every customer wanted a different subset of them.

A lot of components are complex (date time pickers for example) but the expectations placed on a grid are on a completely different level.

No one can do it all. Very wise to let the community help.
One factor could also be the scammer getting bad conscience when realizing they weren't just skimming off a corp but screwing over a small-timer. Maybe they were drunk or high at the time of the call.

Seems like there was more than one independently scheming entity in some way, and at least one scheme didn't pan out as planned. The Big Lebowski reference doesn't seem too far-fetched...
Is this a copypasta? I swear I've read this before verbatim
I agree that we need more and better STEM education but I'm not sure we're in the same place we were in the 1950's. There were huge education reform programs after Sputnik that added more homework and introduced lab science at the high school level, and the goal of these programs was to provide a foundation for future scientists and engineers. In later decades, different goals have been prioritized; rather than providing a foundation for the brightest minds to become the scientific leaders of the future, education policy since the 1960's started to focus more and more on using education to improve social equality and improve the lot of disadvantaged populations. In recent years, the latter approach has reached the reductio ad absurdum of some school districts abolishing eighth grade algebra classes for reasons of racial equity.

What I am genuinely curious about is how similar the current state of STEM education is to the state before Sputnik. My impression is that Sputnik was a massive sea change that never actually got completely reversed; for instance, I've heard that before Sputnik, high schools weren't even teaching trigonometry, let alone calculus. I've found sources that attribute lab science in K-12 to the Sputnik reforms, as well as an increase in homework (which had actually been abolished by 1900's progressives). And if that's true, then yes, let's still improve science education, but let's also acknowledge that things possibly aren't quite as bad as they were in von Neumann's time.
there are solutions like peertube, invidio.us, etc., that i have read about and am checking out. share any you find, too, friend.
The boring answer would be that it's just sharing the ride with a bunch of other satellites, as it did on the last three occasions.

The fun answer would be that it's going way further than ever before. A Falcon Heavy can take 25 metric tons to GEO, and the X-37B is roughly 1/5 of that, so think a lot higher. What is there of interest to the US Space Force beyond GEO? Well...

Ask HN: Do you openly use GPT at work?
Definitely more powerful than regular expressions. Too powerful. You can easily write useful patterns in SNOBOL which generate exponential time searches, because search can back up and try a different route.
Regular expressions are the linear-time subset of SNOBOL patterns.
This is not going to change anything - Apple makes $109,229 per second(https://tipalti.com/profit-per-second/) - this so called penalty is 3.8 hours of Apple's profit. This is equivalent to a parking ticket for Apple.
I agree I veered off the parent's point.

In his case his whole life could have been ruined by selling a harmless (if clean!) drug to ravers who very clearly know what and why they are buying a substance from him.

Also, in my hypothetical "you should not have been arrested as it should be legal case" he might have ended poor and homeless in the street because everybody was just going to the pharmacy instead of buying from him. :)
Inkscape has a lot to work on as a "content creation" app, while in terms of being true to SVG, it's done a lot of things the way you'd expect.

And I think that's most of the disconnect in the UI, which the devs have gradually gotten over by adding shadow XML data in the SVG to support Inkscape features while always presenting a rendered result.

Still, the drawing tools aren't consistent about the units they use yet. There is a lot of stuff there, and some of it is just papercuts.
People moving from an expensive city to a poor city do not increase overall demand -- letting go of an apartment in a rich city to rent one in an inexpensive city does not effect overall demand.

But what does have an impact on prices is the elasticity of demand. If you're willing and able to move to get a cheaper apartment you increase elasticity of demand, lowering prices. OTOH, if you're stuck in your apartment because it's the only one close to your job...
I find it amusing that René is known for two hacks:

- enabling RDNA2-based Radeon GPU cards to work. The hack: saving and restoring FPU state in the kernel so that the kernel (more precisely: the GPU driver) can use floating point instructions.

- enabling the use of RVV instructions on a standard Linux distro. The hack: primarily saving and restoring the Vector state in the kernel.

It's essentially the same hack.

I note also that the OS images recommended by the SBC vendors already have the Vector extension enabled e.g. the OS preinstalled on the Lichee Pi 4A, or Tina for the Nezha (and other D1 boards).

The patches to do so are readily available. It's no big trick to apply them to upstream kernel sources, the problem is getting the result of doing so upstreamed.
yes, that's what distinguished FB and Google: to be hired person need to be interviewed by some people outside the team, so they reduce conflict of interests that way and keep some bar of candidate's quality.
It definitely is a clickbait headline.
That was a terrible commercial. But I did enjoy the teacher pulling her glasses down to check out that HOT math at the end.
You've put forth an utter straw man. I am rationally against making government verification of identity stronger precisely because the existing identity systems have been pervasively abused with essentially no recourse. After there is a US equivalent of the GDPR that lets me prevent the surveillance industry, including the traditional financial surveillance industry, from unilaterally creating dossiers about me, then we can talk about better implementations of identity verification. Until then, that dumpster fire is the main thing holding back the surveillance industry from pushing identity verification for ever more routine things like opening online accounts or buying groceries.
If your place of work isn't allowing you to use any form of LLM/GPT and you are in tech, you might want to think about finding another job sooner rather than later.
It is not so much a matter of lack of type safety, it is forgetting to implement an application requirement.

Even an advanced type system capable of formal proofs isn't going to help you if you've forgotten the requirement when defining the types. And if you are using a language with a lesser type system (Go, Rust, any language you are likely to use in the real word), and haven't forgotten the requirement, then you would have encoded that knowledge in tests instead, making the forgetfulness in implementation ultimately immaterial. After all, there is no practical difference between learning that you forgot to implement logic by the compiler telling you or the test suite telling you.

So, we can infer that the OP is talking about where one straight up forgot about the requirement from start to finish. I'm skeptical that there is any technical solution to that problem, but sum types most certainly isn't it.
I think about it the other way; Rust is an ML with a borrow checker. Most of the stuff I hear people gushing about in Rust is IMO them experiencing what's it's like to write ML.
> Before Fukushima happened, I'd heard lots of people claim that nuclear power could be completely safe. Chernobyl was a fluke; it was because of the old model, the communist system and the unsafe experiment they did, but a modern reactor in a modern country could be perfectly safe

Still true.

> and Fukushima proved that a lie. People will cut corners, they will cut costs, and anything that can go wrong, will at some point go wrong.

Yeah, a quite unlikely course of events cracked a plant open enough to cause a leak. Approximately all of the actual negative consequences have came from unnecessary evacuation of a large area.

Or were there some new, ground-breaking discoveries made about Fukushima in the last 2 years, of which I'm not aware?

> And yes, Fukushima and Deepwater Horizon were absolutely disasters. Trying to paint them as not disasters is ridiculous.

Please read with comprehension. "Disaster" as in ecological damage, yes (or sort of, in the case of Fukushima). "Disaster" as in direct cause of large amount of death and sickness? Nope. That's what I said. Two different meanings of the world all too often used to equivocate.

> There's no winning argument for you there. And we can absolutely do worse than nature.

Yes, there is, and nah, we generally can't, because nature is dumb and doesn't care. It would take a lot of combined malice and ingenuity to outdo it.

(Okay, I can accept the argument that we're sorta able to do worse than nature now, because our technology is finally starting to work on comparable scales. Though so far, most of us doing bad is driven by higher-level evolutionary forces - we can't coordinate for shit at scale, so we instead play a lot of "survival of the fittest" games.)
> can we compare the model to a hashing algorithm and the embedding to the hash of the input data? If so, what is the equivalent of SHA256?

No. And no equivalent. Different target.

Crypto- hashes are created for unique representation, even when just one bit changed. Target, to detect if data changed, to protect data from change (intentional or non-intentional).

Vector representation designed, to easy find similarities, so many pieces of data with different bits, will have equal vector repr, or very close.

Good vector repr even consider computationally effective measurement of distance between different pieces of data.

Most problem with vector repr's compatibility, that exists few different algorithms and they use large parameters sets, and at the moment, I have not seen any tries to standardize these parameters sets, because they are very large and expensive to create, and copyright issues.

Also, I don't know exactly, but may exists some patented algorithms.

As example, consider some legal text in English, and it's good translation to French (or other language) - they will be binary totally different, but will be equal in some vector repr.

Unfortunately, conversion from one vector space to other impossible in abstract case.

Because vector spaces are not intersect 100%, so some cases possible in one space are impossible in other.

Second problem, conversions between many-dimensional vector spaces are computationally expensive and not strict.

As example of difficulties of vector spaces conversion, exists anecdote that somebody translated with early automatic translator from Russian to English, and back phrase "the spirit is strong but the flesh is weak", and got result "vodka is good, but the meat is rotten".
