> But none of that even addresses my argument, Russia opposed NATO expansion, Russia threatened severe consequences, NATO gave no signs that Ukraine would not be allowed to join NATO or entered any kind of negotiations, Russia delivered on its promise. The outcome was rather predictable, at least ignoring that Russia did not react as strongly to previous NATO expansions.

Oh, so we're supposed to just listen and obey every dictator out there now? We are supposed to listen and obey when North Korea threatens our (or our ally's) destruction? Are we supposed to just sit back and let China dredge up new islands out of nothing in the South China Sea, and then claim the entire thing is now their territorial waters? Are we supposed to just let them have Taiwan too? How many times has China threatened something when we sold Taiwan some more F-16s or some other military hardware?

And what about our threats? Do you think the Kremlin wasn't warned about what the consequences to Russia would be if they invaded in 2022? Why shouldn't Putin have listened to us?

> My point is just that there was a relatively simple situation, Russia warns NATO, one step closer and there will be war, and NATO decides that it will make that step.

What's funny with all this is that Finland and Sweden resisted joining NATO for decades, despite being very closely aligned with the rest of Europe. Russia made angry noises about that for years and years, and they listened. Wow! Exactly what you thought should happen! Fantastic!

And then Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Then those two countries decided they could no longer listen to the threats coming from Russia, and had to choose what was best for their own security and prosperity. And so they joined NATO to protect themselves.

Why do you think Poland, one of the poorest countries in Europe, has been giving proportionately so much aid to Ukraine? Because they fear for the war spreading, and want to stop Russia now. Why do you think Poland wanted to join NATO back in 1999? Even though one of the member countries of NATO (Germany) that had invaded them 50 years earlier? Did they fear that Poland was going to be invaded by NATO, that this was some coercion? No, because NATO doesn't invade other countries.

Poland joined NATO because they were worried about the other country that had also invaded them 50 years previously, Russia.

Are you starting to see that it is Russia that is the problem here?

There is something unique in web development connotation to the other fields I've worked in. The industry has made a habit of reinventing the wheel in every more complex ways.

I worry that the business case for StarShip is similarly optimistic.

Launching once per week, a single StarShip will carry 10,000 tons to orbit. Fully 50% of all mass launched to orbit since Sputnik 1. Given the hopes for even more frequent launches with a fleet of StarShips makes me wonder who is going to pay for it all and why?

I do understand it's supposed to be much cheaper. But someone still has to pay. And that person still has to be sure that SpaceX - as a single, critical, supplier - won't eat their business model any time SpaceX chooses.

So I do hope there's a secret cunning plan I'm not aware of.
I really want https://material-shell.com/ for MacOS

kinda like a deterministic alt+tab, you set up the layout of "workspaces" and they're always in the same place

you can also pin windows to always open in the same place, so you basically can have persistent layouts that you create while using them (not like powertools where you have to set up the layouts to use them later)

I keep getting annoyed at alt+tab because I accidentally clicked on another window and now the order is messed up

Incarcerations should be harsh and life-ending. Look at North Korea, they have way less crime than even Tokyo. In comparions to Chicago look like a mess mafia gangland. When you reward the prisoners with a lot of benefits, you simply tell everyone crime pays. The focus should be on expediting justice and ensuring correct justice to be dispense. Prisoners that committed crimes should be left for them to be in miserable states to discourage them to do crime. Reoffending one can be liquidated. I really dont want my tax going to feed this kind of inhumans.
I decided to give it a go both ways and I found GPT a huge impediment with day one. It did a terrible job and I found it far easier to do myself. I think it's possible to finesse but it'll take more effort than simply "solve this." It didn't help that part two of day one is a fantastic example of a spec causing ambiguity through a lack of detail – I actually wonder if this was deliberate to throw LLM-based approaches off.

That loss of life is not enormous if you look at the overall graph of civilian and military war-related deaths throughout 20th and 21st century. It very obviously trended downwards, especially after the Cold War, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine which caused a spike. Then again, communism resulted in millions more civilian deaths in the same time period. The US impact on the worldwide death toll is often overstated for some reason, it's as if people are entirely unaware of events like Holodomor and The Great Leap Forward.
> if I can't give them what they want

I don't know if it helps or not, but getting rejected does not always mean that you cannot give them what they want. It means that they found someone else who can and chose them. You never know if your rejection was a case of them not liking you at all vs. them being really crushed by having to choose between you and another person, both of whom they really liked.
I See what you did there
I heard someone comment earlier: "MacGowan and Kissinger were both people who outlived repeated prophesies of their deaths. Odd that they died on the same day"
i do, because not 'letting anyone mess with the equipment keeping them alive' is, obviously, condemning some of them to deaths that they would avoid if they were allowed to

i think you would need an overwhelmingly large number of prevented suicides and avoided foolish accidents to justify such a monstrous evil

the balance of deaths is very likely to work out the other way around, in fact, because people reflashing their own insulin pumps have much stronger incentives to maximize their survival chances than any possible regulatory regime would, much less the one that actually exists

the policy of 'let us make laws and set up regulatory agencies to prevent people from harming themselves' has such an astoundingly bad track record that it always surprises me to hear someone advocating it in apparent seriousness

Eh. The bug is in the Android app. It is probably roughly as easy to identify this bug by staring at the dalvik bytecode as it is to identify this bug by staring at the source (though it is odd that this appears to be nondeterministic - hard to know why that would be the case).

This is a really really bad bug, but I don't think this is especially related to open vs closed source products.

I looked for one but could not find. This is unusual for me as I prefer to have the full text of anything I cite.

For me (someone who has an interest in computational aesthetics) the value of such studies is that they confirm what we already know. I explain the key difference between lightness and hue/saturation to my student in this way:

==> Lightness evolved as a matter of necessity. Any light-dwelling creature without it will quickly become food. This accounts for the co-evolution of so many eye-types (fly, mammal, octopus' etc... all structurally distinct).

==> In primates, Hue/lightness vision evolved in response to the rare treat of fruit-sourced carbohydrates.

In other words: lightness is a requisite of survival, hue/saturation is a pleasurable elaboration. It is likely for this reason that in a traditional art school education, you are taught lightness before colour.

> It's pretty weird you used the exact same reference with the exact same format as your own earlier comment in this 2021 submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26489887

I had completely forgotten that I had referenced this before.

> When removing the animation (tip: remove the css or set status to “paused”), the CPU sits near 0% and the GPU near 0%.

Seems pretty easy to replicate. I don't know this particular screen they're talking about otherwise I would try it. I definitely have used CSS animations before without thinking about potential performance implications so this does seem like a good thing to try to understand in better detail.

I agree that rotating a square doesn't seem like it should be the root cause here though.

EDIT: I suppose it is possible that you are still correct though. Perhaps there is some JavaScript that is looking at the CSS properties as a way to trigger more significant work. It seems like a hacky thing to do, but it would be possible in principal.
I just removed the animation lol

"This study compares Stradivari and new violins principally from the listener’s perspective. Projection and preference are taken as the broadest criteria by which listeners might meaningfully separate violins in a hall. Which violins are heard better, and which are preferred? Also explored is the relationship between evaluations made by listeners and those made by players. Two separate experiments were conducted: one in the suburbs of Paris and the other in New York City. In Paris, violins were played with and without an orchestra by blindfolded soloists behind an acoustically transparent screen. The same was done in New York but without an orchestra.

The results are unambiguous: listeners found that new violins projected significantly better than those by Stradivari. Moreover, listeners preferred new violins over old by a significant margin. Although the listeners came from various professional backgrounds (they included musicians, violin makers, and acousticians), very similar results were obtained from all backgrounds.
We find a strong correlation between projection with and without an orchestra. This correlation seems fortunate for both players and researchers, in that an orchestra is evidently not required to meaningfully test projection."

[...]

"Note that this study relied on soloists, whose primary need is to be heard over an ensemble. The vast majority of violinists, however, are required to blend into ensembles. Research is needed to clarify the relationship between projection and “blendability.” Less projecting violins could have the advantage in this regard."

this is absolutely fascinating from a global warming perspective, in that it puts the club of rome and the ipcc's earliest estimate for 2C right there on the page, but then just kindof... accepts that as background context for the issue it wants to focus on.

if you actually believed the club of rome was roughly/partly right, and that the ipcc's worst-plausible scenarios are ahead, then the subtle social effect of bigdata is like... a wildly abstract thing compared to the famines and wars and mass refugee crisis those assumptions entail.

as we iterate through our reckoning with the scope of the problem these little crossover nuggets are popping up more and more. people who understand the metrics of the problem, and are even on the pragmatically-pessimistic side, but who then sortof just sliiiiiide over it in their brain.

Interesting perspective. I'd like to use that and say that we should have solar noon in the middle of our "awake" hours instead of in the middle of our work hours. This would benefit even more. We're not in a society where your activities are from dawn to dusk, more so, it's usually from dawn to dusk+evening time.

So, let's take the assumption that the average awake time is 7:00 - 22:00. Gives us 15 hours of awake time.

Solar noon should be at 7:00 + half of the awake time: 7 + 15/2 = 14.5 = 14:30

To calculate sunrise on the longest day and shortest day we use: 14.5 - half of light time

To calculate sunset on the longest day and shortest day we use: 14.5 + half of light time

This means sunrise and sunset in Amsterdam:

summer, longest day, 16:48, 16,8 hours:

- sunrise: 14.5 - 16.8/2 = 6.1 = 6:06

- sunset: 14.5 + 16.8/2 = 22.9 = 22:54

winter, shortest day, 7:41, 7.683 hours:

- sunrise: 14.5 - 7.683/2 = 10.6585 = 10:40

- sunset: 14.5 + 7.683/2 = 18.3415 = 18:20

Given this reasoning, instead of being GMT+1, Amsterdam should be GMT+3 all year round
Amazing work. Thank you.

I have a set of PDF files, and this week was thinking how I can link them to an LLM and be able to ask questions about them. So this was very timely.

I did a quick side-by-side testing against Nougat, and it clearly works better. On a handful of PDFs I tested, Marker extracted considerably more text (the text did not have any math, just academic papers), finished the job faster, and did not crash on any pdf, while Nougat took a lot longer to finish, and sometimes crashed due to out-of-memory error (could not allocate more than 7GB RAM!)

While we're on the subject, does bitbucket just seem horribly slow for pulling lately? My work uses bitbucket and my personal projects use github, and lately I've been doing a lot of personal project work over the holidays, and every pull of bitbucket is just painfully slow.

It’s been like this for its duration. I would wager heavily against this changing for 2024.

The underlying calculations apparently depend on the following CSV: https://github.com/mlco2/codecarbon/blob/master/codecarbon/d...

Two problems I see here

1. They are using AWS, which is not in the data set

2. The calculation set seems questionable to me. The GCP Iowa data center has some of the best renewable usage, are they using the data center total (a larger data center with more renewable can still have more total emmissions vs only 8% of the compute I use should be included in the calculation. Either way, the underlying data for the calculation is out of date

edit...

I opened an issue with the codecarbon project to see if we can get more clarity on things. I've include links there for the breadcrumbs I followed

_was_ a thing.

I'm not sure it was a great idea either. Look at how Ukrainian civilians manifested against a corrupt mayor who tried to use money/production to cater to voters instead of supporting soldiers? This would never have happened in France or in UK during WW1, mostly because news from the front were always "good". Despite being a _lot_ of corruption case and of rerouted production.

Wartime censorship actually was a huge burden on French soldiers, especially French-speaking one, because they couldn't really explain the war to their families (it was easier on my family because they did not speak French but Breton, and censorship let more information pass through, even though it was written... extremely phonetically.). According from "all is well on the western front", it was the same on the German side. The soldiers _HATED_ civilian, because of wartime censorship, and oftentime whished for civilian to be bombed and understand, even sightly, their own suffering.
Now I know why my wifes insulin pump's (Medtronic) Android app doesn't support setting the bolus and only allows observation :D

It's likely better that way. If the app would allow this, I'd already decompiled the app and tried to reverse engineer the protocol to allow her to set a bolus when she's wearing something that makes it hard to access the pump or carry her phone with her (like a dress). Setting the bolus via e.g. a smartwatch would be really nice, but I'd be very afraid of creating a life-threatening bug.

Solar and wind are great but they don’t provide a continuous source of energy. Batteries are great too and should help smooth out the supply dips. That said you should absolutely have something around that can rapidly scale in the event of the inability to provide enough energy.

Nuclear probably won’t be the main source but it will be a necessary mow part of the solution.
