> But I’m just going to state that automatic link feeds do not seem to work on HTTP any more. You end up with a flood of astroturfing, vapid click-bait and blogspam (i.e. reddit).

This would be true for anything that has a critical mass of users which would make it a target for astroturfers and spammers.

The likely reason Gemini has managed to escape that is because it's a text-only alternative protocol that only a very few people would be interested in joining.

Is there a Factorio extension like "Scriptorio" that lets you put JSON on conveyor belts? With JavaScript or Lua function factories.

Then you could pass the b-trees themselves around with conveyor belts and inserters, as well as the objects to insert and search.

And write a recursive search function with a loop of conveyor belts running through factories, that just loops the tree around peeling off a level at a time until it hits the leaf, breaking the loop and outputting the result.

It's an interesting execution model, not standard JavaScript, more data flow. Should you allow "quantum tunneling" and "action at a distance" by allowing multiple references to the same underlying JSON objects from different conveyor belts / inserters / factories? That could be useful, but Factorio itself traditionally treats each physical item having a unique identity, so maybe it would be more "realistic" not to support multiple references. Or you can only make multiple references once you research "Quantum Tunneling JSON" technology, with the "JSON Reference Entangler Factory"!
The link provided is also about about a method to produce optic nerve regeneration, regardless of whether there has been a transplant or not. Unless you have a reason to believe that it would not work in the case of a transplant.

I wouldn't, but the mindset in traditional engineering is very different to tech. After a project, they might be required to conduct a post mortem per IEEE or something like that.
https://time.com/6326312/watermelon-palestinian-symbol-solid... appears to have the answer.

But I will say I completely disagree, nobody owns a symbol and I don't think it's acceptable to allocate emojis to specific events.
yeah, you are right. I got confused
This is a good rant, so let me join in.

The computer is what gives you the ability to pontificate online. The computer makes every other labor intensive process efficient, creating the excess bounty that grants you time to get good at writing things down. The computer drives the factory that makes all the shit delivered to you, at low cost, so that you can live your life of letters. At every stage of the production pipeline, from the raw dirt to your apartment, the computer drives the process of creating more with less, of creating better easier, of sharing and training and organizing and making it frictionless and easy to do all this stuff that creates value in the world. The computer makes everything in the grocery store a dollar cheaper. Not just everything in the grocery store, everything in every store.

You didn't need to pay a dollar for paper on which to write this rant. You didn't need to pay for stamps to mail it out. You didn't need to pay to read other people's point of view on feminism and critical theory and all the political stuff you're into; those people, like you, could publish for free, without any gatekeeping; and of course, they all experienced the same bounty of efficiency that you did, so they had time to form their opinions, time to write them down, time away from toil so that they could share their ideas with you. The computer.

Not only that, but the computer gave them the freedom to fully express themselves, to form their identity completely away from their harsh physical world. The computer is how a disabled person, a gay person, a non-binary person, can escape into a world where they are accepted for who they are and how they express themselves. A world where a woman can actually completely control her presentation; a world where everyone can share themselves, totally divorced of their physical, economic, socio-political circumstance. The computer is why so many people consider themselves part of LGBTQ. Why so many are exploring such radically different ideas of gender, race, sexuality. The computer.

Fascism? Huh??

Yeah that plastic guy who wants to live to 300 kind of a weirdo.
The kayak can be rented on the other end of your train journey.

It's also a matter of price. Nvidia sells their top GPUs at insane premiums. For Microsoft which is such a huge player and the major AI vendor and owns a lot of OpenAI they have no point into cornering themselves into Nvidia dependence.

They benefit from competition, not from bending to one vendor.
> Many advanced driving assistance capabilities need access to updated map tiles

Your phone (or GPS or even a paper map) can guide you; none of the following need access to map tiles:

* forward collision warning

* automatic emergency braking

* lane departure warning

* adaptive cruise control

* blind spot detection

* stability control

> code updates to fix errors or shortcomings

That's what recalls and TSBs have traditionally been for, and the driver can refuse them if desired. I mean, actual lives are at stake here. Would we (or should we) allow 737's to get OTA updates? Of course not. The target is too valuable and surface area too vast to adequately protect it.
No, I don't believe it is. Personal health choices and driving laws are two very different things.

When one drives recklessly, we know the result, bodily harm to themselves and or others. When one takes a new vaccine with limited testing and emergency approval, we don't know the result(s), yet.

By that logic, every set of choices one could have that affects others should be regulated or overseen?

Moreover, that comparison is predicated on the belief that vaccines prevent transmission. There has been no sufficient data (to my knowledge) that backs up the claim of them doing so.
Not credible.

The BLS changed how it measures things so of course inflation went down

> I therefore find myself stamping out boilerplate for e.g. JSON deserialisation more than I would like.

This was my first experience while getting started in the .NET ecosystem. I wanted something similar, I wanted to build small console tools/services and F# looked cool but hit the reflection issues too soon.

I mostly use crystal and golang, but both have their own issues. Hopefully F# improves with time to be fully usable with AOT!
If they “can’t make the chips fast enough” being TSMC’s second highest volume customer behind Apple and probably second in priority, what chance does Microsoft have getting enough of TSMCs capacity?
In 3 months the phrase “Because it’s less than 70% of the way through the hyperstitious slur cascade, and that’s the boundary that I’ve set for myself.” will be a hyperstitious slur
But then you also run into the issue of the plea deal.

A disturbingly high number of cases are plead out - in some states that number approaches 90%. This is more than any other country on earth, and by a huge margin. Many countries completely forbid plea bargaining, and most of those who allow it have strict rules on implementation, oversight and review, where here it is almost entirely purely at a prosecutor's discretion.

This falsely pushes conviction rates up, as there are huge swathes of cases where it has been demonstrated that people plead out as the path of least resistance, rather than factual guilt.
I’d say nightmare scenarios would be:

* PA
* travel agent
* event planner
Right, the company started right around the same time as Achates Power, and their opposed piston design is already being tested in prototypes in a partnership with Cummins, one of the largest engine manufacturers. So either a large amount of BS, or some very, very rigid licensing and partnership...
You're not wrong, but the problem is a difference in capability combined with a performance cap that you can't power-scale your way out of.

The 100W suggestion is the same as the Intel board, though the Intel board can run standalone on the stock 60W supply without a battery by staying in a lower-wattage mode. The 100W problem specific to AMD is the inability to boot at all without a battery at under 100W, and not being able to hit max stock TDP with a 100W or greater supply unless a battery is also installed — even if it never draws from it.

From Framework's emails to early-batch buyers on the subject:

> Note that performance will currently be limited without the battery present. We’re working with AMD and our manufacturing partner Compal to tune and improve this. In the meantime, we recommend using a 100W USB-C power adapter to mitigate some of the performance reduction.

I think this is nasty to provide as a service to others because the voice didn't consent. I don't agree with others when also critiquing personal use. Personal use should be fair use as long as you aren't stealing or mining a service to minimize some personal cost.

So is this a text to speech model while mimicking somebody's voice? That is pretty cool.

One thing I don't understand is how you get specific models for someone's voice. Do you fine tune to that voice?

The issue of style transfer is not something I understand for audio. Anyone have example papers to read? I am familiar with MuLan, MusicLM, and MusicGen.
There is a back and forth in the YT comments where one commenter insists that Linux OS is still running under the hood…

So the Linux OS never boots, correct? It’s booting directly from the c64 bin so to speak? Feels very Justine Tunneyish almost..
These people read some Onion like BuzzFeed article about a made up story along the lines of this and absolutely refuse to see how ridiculous it sounds and start spreading it, and others who have an axe to grind with Apple then feel validated by the idea of it and spread it themselves.

Literally nobody I know who has an iPhone truly cares what color the chat messages is... We do however notice the green message and jokingly go "oh an Android user eh?" and give a little shit for it, but nobody would ever actually ostracize someone from a group for being Android.

These people are delusional.
Any individual observation is an anecdote.

Enough anecdotes become data.
Welcome to reality. Entirely within their rights to do, regardless of how you feel about it. Once is a history, when it’s bad enough.

If someone was arrested for beating their spouse, you’d have no issues saying they had a ‘history of domestic violence’, no?

And plenty of folks would argue they would be irresponsible and abusive to their kid to not do it.

Maybe there would be better ways to handle it, maybe not.
Maybe there were things they could have done to prevent it (probably), maybe not. Not our circus, not our problem.

When I lived in a climate that was a little more moderate I'd grow just a few plants, maybe 8 at most, in raised beds with deep soil and even watering. With that I'd have more tomatoes than I could ever eat or give away. Well taken care of plants in a good climate are massive producers.
Yes, propaganda will always exist. With traditional media (assuming you have cookies and tracking disabled) you are the on that decides what propaganda (which articles) to consume.

With social media like TikTok, they decide what propaganda to feed you.
I'm surprised by the negativity.

Microsoft has the know-how from hardware and software, drivers, APIs, firmware the resources, it's a major AMD customer in Cloud and consumer devices.

Do people think Microsoft and AMD will watch Nvidia cannibalize the market snd Microsoft writing cheques for whatever Nvidia demands?

It's like people forget a major economic rule: when margins are high you will attract competition.
challenge accepted ;)

It is not just that as plant cell signaling is how animals got neurotransmitters through evolution. In fact many plants have neurotransmitter analogs due their signaling needs through evolution.
> Our ape ability to discriminate against a whole group relies on our cognitive ability to present thousands of individuals as "one entity."

You're right, but I don't think our tendency to group individuals is able to be overridden by removing words from our lexicon. These words and phrases exist because we group people, not the other way around.
This is a very strange article. The author spends the whole time arguing against calling groups of people by the terms they prefer, with an extra focus on trying to excuse racism (such as claiming that "all lives matter" was perfectly innocent for the first week, despite the fact that it arose specifically as a counter to "black lives matter", and incidentally using ageism to make this claim). It's pretty obvious without even looking that the author is a white man.
I wouldn't recommend making a special case for _police_ unions.

Unions shouldn't be allow to have management and non-management in the same union. The guy evaluating your performance (police commissioner) should not be allowed to be in the same union regardless of if you are police or tech.
I agree with this sentiment -- from a reproducability standpoint, CL images aren't great. My workflow has always been to maintain a source file and then use emacs to shove s-expressions into the repl -- that way, rather then save the image, i can just re-evaluate my source file and get a reasonable facsimile
I’m a vegan Hindu person. I do take a multi vitamin, but I’m not a body builder and not an athlete. I get maybe 100g protein a day which I think is fine. I eat dal daily for lunch and dinner is usually something fun with veggies like chili or tofu or curries etc. I also drink a loaded smoothie that’s got fruits and herbs and nuts and oats. Got enough energy to go up any hill in SF and not feel exhausted lol.

Honestly feels great and my blood test comes back okay each time.

The only issue is when I’m away from home my options is basically Chipotle.
You are correct! It was the Neutral Buoyancy Lab. I only visited once.

Experimental AI Weather Forecasts
Quite the nitpick. They obviously mean date not timestamp.

The fidelity increase of Date->Timestamp for a blog post is almost nothing (unless you are reporting on current events, e.g. the BBC has timestamps in their live reports).

The fidelity increase of {} -> Date is much higher. For tech you now know that this article is likely incorrect. E.g. if it is 10 years old and about how to install Node or something.
yeah because hyperfocus or losing track of how much energy you are wasting on spurious tasks.
It’s just part of the cycle. For new paradigm, you have companies jumping to build their own things. Later it unifies and you get few main leaders.

It wasn’t that long ago that computer manufacturers would build their own chips.

The business decision is that the event occurs at 10 AM local time in New York on April 29th 2026, not that it occurs at XX:00 GMT.

There is no way to know whether New York will be in DST or not then. Timezone changes can be made with just a couple of days notice, and sometimes not even clear even once they've happened (or not happened)

See https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2023-March/032761.html for example.

Therefore the date stored should be April 29th 2026 10AM in New York, not 1400 UTC or 1500 UTC
> pit bulls are a dangerous breed that often refuses to stop attacking

Generalizations like this are not reliable. Dogs reflect the treatment they get from their owners.

But in any case, we don't need to generalize about this pit bull, because the article tells us that they have had him for six years and he has had no problems. This looks to me like a simple case of owners bringing a kid into a household that already has a dog, and not putting enough thought into how to manage that situation, which is going to be stressful for any dog, regardless of breed. That is on the owners, not the dog.

Just did my own swap yesterday: I was lazy (practical?) and just kept the Intel wifi chip I had already so I wouldn't have to redo the antenna connections.

I'm on Ubuntu 23.10 and I think just the pretty new kernel, plus my Framework board being a later build with the newer firmware, meant I dodged any graphics issues (at least any I'd have immediately noticed).
Can confirm. From eastern Iowa myself and there are places on our farms that had 15 to 20 feet deep black soils in places on the farm. Some sections would grow corn stalks as tall as the combine.
My biggest technique is just making indented outlines. The most important thing is having low friction to getting started on them. All other parts of 'the system' basically do not matter and you dont need to spend any time on it.

I either use a sticky note (I keep a few loose ones in my wallet), or I activate onenote with win+n and can type on that immediately. Anything higher friction than that isn't gonna work, which is why I don't use a phone app. Getting to the writing screen in any notes app is too much.

I also like to take meeting minutes because I otherwise cannot focus on meetings at all.
Similar to the old Slashdot days, HN is still plagued with just outright anti-Microsoft people under any circumstance, even in cases where there is no justification.
I didn't know what Wayland is, but was curious what this article is about. I read the article, and it doesn't explain what Wayland is. So I googled Wayland and read the start of the Wikipedia page. Ok, so Wayland "is a communication protocol that specifies the communication between a display server and its clients, as well as a C library implementation of that protocol." and so on. Huh. I now know have a very, very vague idea what Wayland is. What does that have to do with a browser? How can Firefox "ship with Wayland"? I think I have learned nothing. I feel stupid. Tech news is weird sometimes.

Edit: Thanks for all the responses. But I'm still not understanding what all this has to do with Firefox. I boot up my linux machine that runs KDE, I launch Firefox and then what? Does this help with something on my local machine? Or does Firefox now provide a UI for remote systems that I SSH into? Whatever Firefox can do now, why should this be a feature of a browser?

Edit 2: Ah, I get it now, Firefox simply renders itself using the Wayland protocol, correct?
Correct. It is booting from the BMC64 image.
Heard from an Amazonian that they are clocking in before midnight and then out again after midnight as an experiment in hopes of getting credited with two days of badging in for a single arduous trip to their building.

Lessons in be careful what you measure.
The capital costs are enormous, not even counting the CUDA moat. It takes years to start producing a big AI processor.

Yet many startups and existing designers anticipated this demand correctly, years in advance, and they are all still kinda struggling. Nvidia is massively supply constrained. AI customers would be buying up MI250s, CS-2s, IPUs, Tenstorrent accelerators, Gaudi 2s and so on en masse if they wanted to... But they are not, and its not going to get any easier once the supply catches up.

Unless there's a big one in stealth mode, I think we are stuck with the hardware companies we have.
If you have created those decades ahead against UTC they will mostly likely be wrong unless the business wanted them recorded as UTC.
Really impressive how many of the tricky pitfalls you've managed to automatically smooth over with this approach, love it!

Ya but with sideloading that's presumably not such a sure thing anymore, no?
lol flagged hacker news doesn’t like to self reflect
It's more complicated when you have many types of item and not many of each item, because a filter inserter can do five types and a splitter can do one.

And if you add some wires, you can have each inserter automatically grab whatever is directly in front of it that isn't on a blacklist. At that point a max-throughput build with inserters is a big but roughly fixed size, while a build for splitters is proportional to the number of items.
Despite how much they tend to shape our patterns of thinking, I don't know if there's ever a good explanation for a visceral response.
It's pretty well understood language is defined by its use, prescriptivism is a fantasy, and "I'd like to oppose change as long as it doesn't single me out too much" isn't exactly new human behavior. It's neither a wrong stance, nor is it a right stance. We all like changes in some circumstances, and we're all OK with not conforming in some circumstances - and then we choose which ones matter to us.

This happens well beyond slurs, too. Few people call somebody they consider stylish with edgy elements a "hep cat" anymore. We're not asking folks "How's tricks" to ask about their day. And though I do wish we'd resurrect “barmy on the crumpet", probably not going to happen either.
