> Taking a dive in a fight (losing) in order to fix the fight (for those gambling on it) would be an example of a rigged fight.

That doesn't make sense... the fight is rigged (and you're claiming this would be illegal in the fight) because people happened to gamble on it? I've never seen a sport where the legality of a move depends on whether some outsider had gambled on it.

Wouldn't it be the gambling that would be rigged at that point, instead of the fight?
This is me with an apple tree and worms. I just accepted that there will be at least one worm/bee/parasite in each apple, so I eat around it and throw the remainder to the horses.

You may want to start a Delaware C-Corp if others are investing money. That is the standard. But it is far from the cheapest way to "start a company" in the United States.

Usually, it is easiest to start a "limited liability company." Smaller states compete for the lowest LLC cost. For example, Arizona, Mississippi and Missouri all charge $50 for an LLC, with no recurring fees. Kentucky charges $40, but requires a $15/yr report. But you may need a registered agent or other ongoing costs in those states.

By comparison, Clerky (a popular C-Corp startup service) charges $99 + $328 in state fees. If you get people interested, you can easily convert from an LLC to a Delaware C-Corp.

But if you are in Taiwan, why do you want a US company?
Real question: Could machine learning be used to identify these sites to a high degree of accuracy, with crowd sourced human moderation denying the false positives to help further train it?

Disclaimer: I know very little about machine learning.
Agreed, just wanted to stress the point that it is often not even an option for a potential employee to try and compete on skills.
Ah, so it is. My apologies. He's a pretty good actor!
I always assumed that trolls being made of (among other things) silicon, supercomputers were the inspiration.
My previous role was a lot of AWS, and I became convinced that the value of an AWS cert was mostly learning how to map all of the product names to their actual functions.
My mom taught us some words somewhere around 5-8 years old, so we could signal things to each other instead of interrupting conversations. The three in particular I remember are "hungry", "bored", and "thank you" (so she could remind us to say it without the other person realizing).
> Difficult to find a Morgan Freeman sound-a-like if they're not marketing themselves as a Morgan Freeman sound-a-like.

How about this scenario: they publish a youtube video, then someone says in the comments: hey you sound just like morgan freeman, then the company looking for the voice performance googles for morgan freeman, finds the comment and contacts them.

Driving in general is. We can argue about specifics, you just made up 103 mph number but that's an acceptable speed on Autobahn.

The core argument is: Do we want 0 deaths? If so, what is acceptable number of deaths? And I shed light on how Gov calculates this.
Thank you for saying this. I can't believe how far down I had to scroll before I found what I, too, was thinking when I read this.

From TFA:

> When was the last time you greeted somebody you didn't know? When did you spontaneously engage in a conversation? Chances are you don't even remember! Likely either you or the other person were "busy" with other things (like tinkering with a smartphone).

Yikes. I make idle chit-chat with strangers all the time, and it's not always me starting it. The last time I was at a bar I got into a conversation with the guy next to me for almost 30 minutes.

> We shop online, scan our groceries at the self-checkout, order a taxi via an app, and sit behind our screens in the cafe or coffee bar. Contact with random strangers is becoming rarer and rarer.

The author is describing what's happening in their life, which is the result of their choices and their circumstances: where they live, the kind of work they do, what they feel comfortable doing, the habits they've acquired. Other people have different experiences.

> But I prefer ordering digitally. Better discovery, lower ambiguity, electronic upsell and tips are easier to ignore.

Indeed these are benefits, however I keep finding the digital ordering to be slower than just telling a human (who is an expert at the software interface) what I want. This way I don't have to figure out with each new interface how to customize the order. And oh man the bugs. The last two times I've tried online ordering for McDonalds it's glitched out, never again.
if you hire them just to look for disability issues then you have to pay them even if there are no issues and nothing to fix, I'm not sure it would be a full time job.

Regarding the fact that it doesn't take 1337 skillz and hours I guess it means people with accessibility issues can notice it right away right? So do you think users would report accessibility issues by themselves?

So do you think it is enough to have an accessibility contact and users with an issue would report the issue?

A little planning can help with this.

If you do your own starts, you can do what I do with peppers:

* overwinter a few plants in containers, they'll be ready quickly when you put htem back out just after last freeze.

* start some plants in mid jan, some in mid feb, and some in mid march, to fewer are ready at various times. Of course peppers will produce fruits over an extended period.

Tomatoes are similar, and you can also use vining varietals that produce fewer tomatoes continuously (rather than all at once).

For a lot of leafy plants (spinach, leaf lettuces) i plant them in with my bigger plants - they'll be done by the time the other plants are big enough to crowd/shade them out.

A lot of plants come out in mid to late summer. If your climate allows it, you can plant brassicas (like broccoli) when you pull those out an they'll thrive in the cool fall weather.

As another commenter mentioned, various cultivars can have different timings.

All of this is a little bit of extra work in the garden, and quite a bit more planning (but I like that part, and after a bit of practice it's not that much effort either, I'll do it over a few evenings in January. It helps to have other gardening friends over for dinner and garden planning/seed buying - more fun and less like work). The result is an extended period of available produce without as much of a "glut" at peak.

It annoys me to no end that a lot of garden plants are still designed around the home garden being a mini-farm rather than a continuing source of fresh produce. This made a lot more sense 100 years ago, but these days it seems counter-productive, most people don't grow gardens to preserve food over the winter, but rather to have fresh veggies while enjoying gardening (and maybe to cut out the produce bill in the summer)
I wrote some batch (list) oriented code for a static analyzer recently.

It was great until I decided to change my AST representation from a tuple+discrimated union to a generic type with a corresponding interface i.e. the interface handled the first member of the tuple (graph data) and the generic type the second member (node data).

This solved a bunch of annoying problems with the tuple representation but all list-oriented code broke because the functions operating on a list of generics types couldn't play nice with the functions operating on lists of interfaces.

I ended up switching to scalar functions pipelined between list functions because the generic type was more convenient to me than the list-oriented code. The reality is you often need to play with all the options until you find the "right" one for your use case, experience level and style.
Exactly -- write code that matches clear, intuitive, logical, coherent organization.

Because easy counterexamples to both of these rules are:

1) I'd much rather have a function check a condition in a single place, than have 20 places in the code which check the same condition before calling it -- the whole point of functions is to encapsulate repeated code to reduce bugs

2) I'd often much rather leave the loop to the calling code rather than put it inside a function, because in different parts of the code I'll want to loop over the items only to a certain point, or show a progress bar, or start from the middle, or whatever

Both of the "rules of thumb" in the article seem to be motivated by increasing performance by removing the overhead associated with calling a function. But one of the top "rules of thumb" in coding is to not prematurely optimize.

If you need to squeeze every bit of speed out of your code, then these might be good techniques to apply where needed (it especially depends on the language and interpreted vs. compiled). But these are not at all rules of thumb in general.
Dear Lord, hope not.
I don’t really know what an active directory is, but I assume that the default type of directory is a passive one, in that it just holds files or subdirectory (it doesn’t act). An active directory sounds like a directory that is going to play tricks on me.

Entra ID sounds like a type of ID.

I’m not sure how something could legitimately have each of these names. I assume the functionality changed pretty dramatically over the lifespan of the product?
Call first thing when the office opens (often 8am) and you often get something because they tend to save a couple of slots for same-day appointments.
The jump to 'information processing machines' seems far more correct than anything that came before, I'm curious how you would argue against that? Yes, there are more modern and other interesting theories (e.g. predictive coding) but they seem much closer to cognitive psychology than say, the human brain working like a clock.
Ah yes a .0000000001% chance that the patient develops super-MRSA, the disease that gets its characteristic deadliness from Multiple Resistances to antibiotics, which bacteria develop when antibiotics are overused. Sounds like a great reason to over prescribe antibiotics.
I agree that it's not about actual slavery, but it goes deeper than that, and they were named that because the concepts do borrow the metaphor of slavery

I mean, the master controls the bus and the slave(s) have to listen to the master..

I first heard about master-slave with IDE drives in the early 00s, I think I was in 6th grade or something trying to put a second hard drive in my computer, and I remember it seemed racist to me at the time, soo I'm pretty sure it's occurred to lots of other people as well..

Shouldn't have to be invoking slavery just to learn some comp sci or computer engineering concept..
Have you tried zucchini "spaghetti" salad?

Basically there are these cutters which cut the zucchini (raw) into very long "noodles". I think they are sometimes called "zoodles".

With these "noodles" you can do anything you like. But I've only tried it as a salad. i.e. add oil, salt, pepper and whatever you like, mix it, and enjoy.

In this case we're talking about elections from years ago.

There's probably a plan to preemptively "warn" that the 2024 election is rigged, then if you know who loses he can say that he's not a sore loser but in fact he warned us all along that it was rigged. We may expect overwhelming psyops to this effect from Nov 9, 2024 to Jan 20, 2025.
AMD also have HIP which is almost exactly CUDA, but target agnostic, so basically now CUDA code will now run on AMD hardware. So they have the low level via HIP, and have also integrated into the libraries like pytorch. It's a great bit chip out of that moat.
Yes, this advice has the scent of premature optimization with the tradeoff sacrifice being readability/traceability.
> Pit bulls were bred for a specific purpose, to fight until death.

I think you need to learn more about pit bulls. Even Wikipedia [1] recognizes that the reality is more complicated than your simplistic narrative.

As for the kid, I have already pointed out in multiple posts elsewhere in this thread that if these people are worried about their kid, they should find the dog another home. If there isn't a friend or neighbor who will take him, they can take him to a shelter. It's their fault that they brought a kid into their home where the dog had already lived for three years (which, as I have also pointed out elsewhere in this thread, is stressful for any dog, no matter what breed) and didn't manage the situation properly. Instead of making the dog pay for their mistake, they should let him have another chance in another home.

Yes this is exactly the case here. Many applications get this for free because the gui toolkit provides the abstraction - both Qt and Gtk exist to do this for cross platform purposes.

However if you want things toolkits don't provide then you need to talk to the underlying API yourself.

My distro ships both plain Firefox and firefox-wayland. I've been using it for... At least a year. No noticeable difference to normal Firefox.
I use emacs/org-mode, and just integrating gpt into that has made a world of difference in how I use it (gptel.el)! Can highly recommend it.

The outlining features and the ability to quickly zoom in or out of 'branches', as well as being able to filter an entire outline by tag and whatnot, is amazing for controlling the context window and quickly adjusting prompts and whatnot.

And as a bonus, my experience so far is that for at least the simple stuff, it works fine to ask it to answer in org-mode too, or to just be 'aware' of emacs.

Just yesterday I asked it (voice note + speech-to-text) to help me plan some budgeting stuff, and I mused on how adding some coding/tinkering might make it more fun. so GPT decided to provide me with some useful snippets of emacs code to play with.

I do get the impression that I should be careful with giving it 'overhead' like that.

Anyways, can't wait to dive further into your experiences with the robits! Love your work.
I am going to use some of these in my chrome extension[1] as system prompts. The dejargonizer seems like the most obvious use case for me. Atm I mostly use it to explain highlighted word or sentence. But just explain some jargon seems more useful.

Modern Intel CPUs I am led to believe that issuing nops is actually slower than adding prefixes. I think there is work in the backend updating retired instruction counters and other state which still occurs for nops, but decoding prefixes happens entirely in the front end.

When a nop truly is necessary you will see compilers and performance engineers add prefixes to the nop to make it the desired size.
CodeRabbit spews out a lot of unnecessary text in my opinion. It did catch a bug the other day though.

My gut tells that deep learning works because of a similar underlying mathematics.

I have absolutely no mathematical proof.

But then again there is no cost to trusting my hunch…except maybe a few karma points if someone decides my opinion is worth being upset over.

I mean no matter how wrong I might be, nobody is going to die because of it.

Anyway, I think it is an important book and most of the negativity around it is because people feel threatened by Wolfram. Successful as a scientist, scholar, software developer, startup founder, and business executive.

YMMV.
Just for fun I tested this as well and while GPT-3.5 was wrong, GPT-4 was correct
Agree. Also, most of the time, the form that is easier to modify is preferred, and even if `condition` does not currently depend on `walrus`, it is preferable for it to be easy to make it depend on `walrus` in the future.
> It's not the place of the government to put limits like these on devices just because they want to avoid having to commit to behavioral change through enforcement and penalty.

I mean... That kind of _is_ half of their jobs, isn't it?

Dictionary definition of the word "regulation": Rules made by a government or other authority in _order to control the way something is done_ or the way people behave.

Note: Not that I necessarily agree with a gps based speed limit facility. My car displays posted speed limits on the dashboard, and it frequently shows the wrong one, from a nearby surface road or who knows what -- a nice feature but more than occasionally wrong. I do think things like top speed governors make sense though (eg. no need for street legal vehicles to go over 100mph public roads instance).

Drosh – A Little Droplet Manager
Today? It should go without saying we shouldn't have locked down. Somehow there are still people holding onto the idea it was a justified measure, but what we know today simply makes that option look absurd in hindsight. Sweden in particular? Sure, despite what the media was trying to sell, all of the scandanavian countries had similar strategies and (including sweden) ended up faring better than the average european country. So I wouldn't say Sweden specifically, because that's just a political hot topic. Norway, which also didn't actually lock down (just look at oxfords covid stringency index if you don't believe me) did very well.

I suspect you're asking what would I have done at the time, though, and I think at the time the most practical approach was Korea's contact tracing and just like we've done for as long as I've been alive, staying at home would be something recommended for the sick. Lock downs were at no point in the pandemic a reasonable strategy, not even explicitly in the context of saving our healthcare system. Just look at how many hospitals have gone bankrupt and had to lay off huge amounts of staff. Our hospital system suffered the most because of lockdowns, not because of covid.
Looks good, Material 3 by default which you can try here: https://flutter.github.io/samples/web/material_3_demo/

I would be much more worried about the coat of plastic dust that lines the entire planet, including vegetables being grown and the grass/feed that animals eat, and the fact that I'm extremely likely to die of cancer due to plastics everywhere, metal particles everywhere, chemicals everywhere... if the meat doesn't get me first.
> One year spinach survived the winter (-20C ish and 1m snow) and popped up in April.

That's literally wild, haha. Was it still edible?
I don't think it's about the money. It's probably about being hauled in front of Congress and being threatened with (essentially) nationalization again and again.
Without a proper context, this is fairly strange, and possibly even bad advice.

For loops and if statements are both control flow operations, so some of the arguments in the article make little sense. The strongest argument seems to be about performance, but that should typically be one of the latest concerns, especially for rule-of-thumb advice.

Unfortunately, the author has managed to create a catchphrase out of it. Let's hope that doesn't catch on.

I have been using Firefox on Wayland for years now, and for the most part it works, well, perfectly well. It's very nice on computers with mixed DPI displays, I've had no issues with any of that. (I have run into a couple situations where dragging tabs has crashed, but it's too occasional to care. I just session restore'd and went back to work. Features like Picture-in-Picture work great and I even have a special setup for Picture-in-Picture mode so it will stick across workspaces in Sway.)

I imagine there's a lot of concerns that have to be carefully considered, as it is a very non-trivial change. Like, does WebGL work? Video acceleration? Will there be a performance regression for anything? How about accessibility, do screen readers still work as intended? (They should since for now that's all out-of-band, but you never know.) Does it have trouble with any specific vendor of GPU?

An interesting consequence of Wayland's design is that a lot of the information conveyed about X windows, like ICCCM properties, are basically non-existent in the Wayland world. This means that for a tiling window manager like SwayWM, it's actually a lot harder for say, pop-up windows to not accidentally get treated like other tiled windows. So if you use e.g. Dolphin file browser, the copy dialogs will try to "tile" since there's no way for Sway to know they're supposed to be popups. This was not an issue for i3wm. This is both fixable and possible to workaround, and in the grand scheme of things not my biggest priority (I'm much more concerned about issues like stability) but I think that issues like these are of prime concern for Wayland adoption.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Common Crawl?
I'm trying to use common crawl for an ML project/search engine, but:

- Requests to download even a small amount of data get rate ACLed (it says slow down/too many requests)
- It seems like this is a known issue and that common crawl is no longer well maintained. https://groups.google.com/g/common-crawl/c/BvMGYUY-dro

Are there any alternatives for accessing a large amount of web crawl data?

Thanks!
