so maybe a little more context will help here. i've been in the situation described as child labor here—been involved in hard labor since i was about 6-yo, mainly working on the farm, carrying heavy load of produce and firewood on my head for long walk home. all these along with other kids—so i'm mainly speaking from experience.

it's a complex problem, of course, but nothing to do with all the entities you have invoked. bear in mind that these abused kids don't live in cities, nor do they belong to middle class families: they're village dwellers, not poor by the standards of the village but by the standards of world bank. their families and communities need their labor because that's all they have known. people in these communities barely speak english. their whole lives all they've known is tilling the land and dutifully committing the next generations to the same task. if you don't want munira working the farm, you don't accost mars. rather you systematically educate and civilize her community so that they become self-aware of the benefits of education and the perils of denying their children this opportunity.

without any systematic effort to transform the elders of the community, you can't stop child labor. mars may decide to stop buying from munira's community. but that will never take munira and other kids her age away from the farm: it's their fate, according to the beliefs of their elders.
Seems neurological and reminiscent of phantom limb pain after amputation. And they treat that now by fooling the brain with mirrors...
Backend devs doing "just simple rails views" only works when those views are really simple, and mostly for internal tools. Otherwise it becomes a total nightmare to maintain.

I agree the "popular" JavaScript solutions are a complexity, over engineering and maintenance nightmare (I'm talking about Next.js mostly here).

But if you use somethink like Inertia, which TL;DR basically just makes React (or Vue) a templating library for your backend framework, it becomes super simple and easy to maintain. I find Inertia great because it's the perfect bridge that can make both backend and frontend devs happy, as it gives you the best of both worlds.

Hotwire is great, but you do need to invest into its way of doing things, and believe me... backend devs who hate on JS doing frontends leads to disaster in the same way JS devs hating on PHP/Ruby/Etc doing backend also leads to disaster.

Last year we replaced Hotwire in a medium size Rails app with Inertia because even if it was quite fast to build new features with, it became a total nightmare to maintain. Simple things such as a modal were split in 4 or 5 different files... some logic was in controllers, other in templates, then the stimulus controller for this and that, and the frames, and... nobody knew what to change.

The problem with Hotwire is that you need to be super "creative" with your solutions and take decisions like should I use a stimulus controller, a frame, a stream? or what? at every single step, and a single functionality ends up split in multiple different places. While with React or Vue it would be just a single component with an isOpen=true/false and done.

I insist... if you look at the "modern frontend" situation thinking on Next.js, Redux, css-in-js, etc... yes... it's a f*ng over engineering marketing hype bullshit hell.

But React/Vue on their own do provide some real benefits and real solutions to actual problems.

I think inertia brings to backend frameworks all the benefits of these tools, with minimal (and worth it, in my opinion) trade offs.

If you end up using Hotwire, just be careful and be warned... it's very likely to become a mess sooner, especially if used by JS haters.
Google Can't Catch All the AI Images. Can You?
I'm not going to respond to you any more as I consider your position too reprehensible to continue engaging with. You are defending the murder of an innocent person and the abuse of government power. It's clearly a bad thing for agents of the government to use threats of extreme punishment to coerce people to accept lesser punishment. Rather than come up with some kind of argument to justify your moral degeneracy you simply keep repeating what happened.
No they did actually follow through on the charging stuff to the point where NACS is now the new north American standard, which is kind of wild to see given how they've acted before.
For now. The docs [1] indicate they might follow along with what Chrome does, though they haven't been updated since January.

Lack of architectural direction is a common problem for many open source projects. They may have fancy user-facing documentation and a big test suite, but architecture schemas and rationale for design decisions are nowhere to be found.

Usually you have to dig through the git blame until you discover the commit message is nothing but “Merge fix-something into main”, from there you have to crawl the commits to find a PR number. Inside the PR, the only useful data is “Fixes: #1234”. From there, if you are lucky, you can find some rationale hidden among the 100 comments from stale-bots. If you are not lucky, the info you need is described in another issue of another library that is cross-linking to this issue.

For something sensitive as a file system, hearing they are no better is extra scary.
>I’ve tried clubs/meetups they feel weird and inorganic. Like they aren’t how you’re supposed to make friends.

Agree, but they get you in practice making casual conversation, which is how you make friends — casual conversation with people you frequently share physical space with. Honestly, shared interests are only a bonus; if you share physical space with enough people on a regular enough basis, and repeatedly make casual conversation with them, some of them will magically become friends.
USC again? They'd gone a few years since their last major public scandal. I guess the pandemic must have helped.

This looks like a huge case of deliberate malfeasance. Real shame.
Whether it's better to throw an exception or end up with None is what's unclear. Either can be better depending on the situation.
You used to have to sign up and install a profile. As of iOS 15, it’s a toggle in the update settings. It still takes a deliberate action to enable though.

This is a cool product. From an applicant's point of view, though, it's very easy to get depressed when you get tens of rejection emails or no emails at all. When people get depressed, they stop applying, which means they stop using your product as well. Just a thought.
There have been cases where an early citation had a typo in the title, journal name, date, or page number ... and then hundreds of later papers ditto the citation with the typo, indicating that they did not actually bother to get an actual copy of the paper.

20 upvotes disagree.

SPAs are just a subset of all the JS we can possibly write - interactivity is not compromised.
I use Microsoft Edge - have added their apt repository so updates are automagical. Edge, though based on Chrome's engine, still supports manifest V2 so adblockers such as UO still work fine. Even better, Edge let's you "appify" sites like Teams and Outlook - perfect for work. I use Edge for all my WFH needs, turning off UO for most MS sites (to avoid any subtle issues), and Firefox for all personal needs. Works for me. Oh, and Teams on Linux using Edge works a treat.
I don’t understand why people seem to „want“ this to be real. It obviously isn’t. The effect cannot be explained by rolling shutter and therefore would involve actively stitching together multiple shots. This would be huge feature that Apple would advertise (take a family photo and you get a version where everyone smiles).
Apple does not a/b test stuff like that without telling users, that’s just not the way their hype machine department works.
Interesting points! I shall try this with my bro!!

I was thinking along the lines of say the cost of A100s or H100s * electricity cost and engineering costs then how much we save, and some discounting factor.
I just tested loading a manifest v2 extension on Chrome (stable) and it works fine.

Scalable extraction of training data from (production) language models
Rolling shutter doesn't produce such clean discrete artifacts, but more of how rotors are bent for helicopters when readout between motion isn't fast enough. This image is as if global shutter took 3 separate shots of 3 separate poses within a space of 0.12~0.15s each
Ariely and Gino have been very credibly accused.

And they are far from the only ones: Diederik Stapel, Brian Wansink, the list goes on and on. (I'm not listing the many names, also at R1 universities, whose verdicts are still "in process.")

What NPR liked to call "replication crisis" was a combination of junk science and blatant fraud.

The whole field (slightly more broadly, of social psychology) is badly damaged for at least a generation.

Pete Judo has some consumer-friendly youtube videos on the topic.

The example does feel “too clean”.

Has anyone at all been able to reproduce something similar?
If I am reading this correctly then I think it is simply preventing the companies that buy ads on Meta from using Meta’s own generative AI features to make certain types of ads. It’s not really feasible to accurately block AI generated content anymore with good accuracy afaik.
I randomly stumbled around in their repository and found the following file. What's the deal with all the racism?

Is this “because I can” or does XMPP fill a niche in modern text chat? This feels like a step beyond running your own email server.
Getting everyone to use “hallucinations” rather than “completely wrong” was a real marketing coup.
It sounds like mine is the same flavor.
And it's getting worse in the last couple of years. I even did MRI scan at some point, but it didn't reveal anything.

Recently a neurologist recommend transcranial electrical stimulation. Seems that it helps in some cases. Have to look around if someone is performing that here.
AACS2 is the DRM scheme on BluRays (usually used on newer UHD ones) and has the ability to remotely revoke ability of decoding for players. That can either be done with payload on other discs or via internet connection if the player has it.

They already did that for PC playback for example, revoking keys for several players.
There are places where the hot water is in an open (!) container in the attic and it could have dead rodents, etc. in it. Ireland, for one - which is part of the persistence of separate hot/cold taps in bathrooms.

Le trattative sulla regolamentazione dell'Intelligenza Artificiale nell'Unione Europea sono afflitte da contrasti legati all'IA generativa, minacciando una fondamentale legislazione volta a regolare l'AI. Fonti anonime hanno riferito a Reuters che la questione principale nei colloqui sull'AI Act proposto riguarda i 'modelli fondamentali', inclusi quelli di AI generativa come ChatGPT.

Dopo l'approvazione da parte del Parlamento europeo a giugno, l'accordo finale richiede il consenso tra i rappresentanti del Parlamento, del Consiglio e della Commissione europea. Tuttavia, le divergenze su come regolare i modelli fondamentali stanno mettendo a rischio questa legislazione.

La discordia è emersa tra diversi paesi UE come Francia, Germania e Italia, i quali propendono per un approccio meno rigido, consentendo ai produttori di modelli di AI generativa di autoregolarsi. Questa posizione, tuttavia, ha sollevato preoccupazioni da parte di ricercatori e legislatori europei, che temono rischi legati a una regolamentazione troppo flessibile.

L'incertezza attuale potrebbe influenzare negativamente le imprese europee, ritardando l'implementazione di una legislazione cruciale per garantire un uso responsabile dell'Intelligenza Artificiale nell'UE. La mancanza di un accordo in questi negoziati potrebbe avere un impatto significativo sull'evoluzione della regolamentazione dell'AI in Europa.
Yep, it was even part of CSS (the older DVD DRM), but there they could "just" prevent playback of a given disc on certain players.

AACS2 allows for carrying revocation lists on discs now.
> The hackers decided to build GNU/Linux and other open source operating systems.

Copyright law wasn't used to prevent adversarial interoperability back then. It does now, which is why you can't build alternative clients anymore unless you're out of reach of the US legal system (and even then, good luck getting it onto any app store since again, there are now gatekeepers to merely _installing_ software on one's machine).
It's still not every game, checking protondb before buying is good advice.
To have this kind of perfect reproduction, 3 poses need to be in 3 separate global shutter readouts (at best) within space of 0.12~0.15s i.e a burst at about 8-10 fps.

iPhone sensor still raster-reads so I would have expected more motion between these three poses in that time span. I feel by the pose and image quality, there was more time in between
Companies are not a democracy.
So there's 2 main reasons:

1. DDP itself has an overhead since it has to synchronize gradients at each training step since GPU0 and GPU1 has to give gradients to GPU0.

2. Huggingface seems to not be optimized well for DDP mainly due to inefficient data movement - we fixed that - interestingly - even on 1 GPU it's faster.
Just buy the SSDs from different vendors. Same batch drives usually have this problem of having the same mtbf.
Betteridge's law of headlines still applies.
Apple also basically never just drops new features without marketing them somewhere. They would have said that best take was coming to iOS 17.1 or something, then rolled out those beta versions with that feature.

Hi!
I’m an experienced Software Engineer from Italy, with a long experience in designing, implementing, and releasing successful web applications.

I worked across a wide range of business domains, including small companies, well-known enterprise corporations, and startups, driving cross-functional teams to adopt best practices, optimize performances, and deliver innovative solutions that meet both user and business needs.

Passionate about:

- Domain Modelling
- DevOps culture
- Test-Driven Development (TDD), Extreme Programming
- Node.JS, Typescript, and Web technologies

I’m also a creative guy, and during my free time, I like painting graffiti and canvases , drawing , and taking pictures with my camera .

I work 4 days per week because I believe in a strong life/work balance.

That is interesting. I assumed everyone could hear that. I can hear the sound (roar, ocean, wind) when I move my jaw forward but I can also just directly control it without moving anything else. It’s a muscle I can feel myself controlling and contracting in my inner ear.

You are correct - I say this as the website ‘landlord’ (scroll right to the very bottom!)

The fun part was hosting this myself 20-something years ago and seeing traffic spike like mad. Rented cheap servers from Kimsufi or Ikoula and tuning apache as best I could without a real clue what I was doing…
just to add to the list of weird videos:

I have the same router. It is great when it works, but goes out often. One trick that has helped a lot is to set it on auto reboot. I have set mine to 4 am every morning and it has been doing great for months now. It is a compromise, but I hardly notice the issue now.
I have this too, and in fact I can recall that tinnitus first came to me after it felt like something in my ear physically shifted, in a period of my life where I was not listening to loud music or going to loud concerts or otherwise being around loud noise. I should note I've had numerous ear problems in the past (including multiple colestiatomas), and I used to be able to manipulate it with a q-tip or popping my ears. (Don't do that! I regret it)

The head massage technique I've had some friends send me to temporarily alleviate symptoms never worked.
It's a community with individuals.

One user in particular made a pretty racially insensitive comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38496195 and they got downvoted for it. Hard.

So, re: your proposition that HN is the most racist community - No.

* 1. Some members are, for sure, and can be vocal about it, most aren't.

* 2. You should see some of the other communities out there, some are explicitly dedicated to racial purity and being complete idiots about it.
If this is all legit, you’re best trying to get an in somehow with a16z. They’re throwing money left and right at people doing this kind of stuff.
(But just the right wing stuff)
.csproj files are trivial to edit without tooling (the newer SDK-style projects at least; the others are merely easy). It helps to understand how MSBuild works, though. .sln files are mostly needed for Visual Studio and they are not required. Fun fact: solution files can be built by MSBuild and are converted into a normal temporary MSBuild project first for that.
Absolutely not. I've gone great lengths about my attempt at using Edge here.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38430102

In short: It has zero respect for the user, so little that it regularly gaslit me into thinking I had agreed to things I did not.

They also signaled intent to simply merge the ripping out of MV2, so as soon as Chrome drops it, Edge will too.
Thanks everyone a bunch for the support - highly appreciate it!
yeah i think i do the same thing as you with my ears. a flutter is probably the best description of it i had thought of it as clapping or clicking my ears but that is to sharp a sound to really describe it
It isn’t just that I get tinnitus when my eras are plugged with ear wax if I don’t clean them a for a while, and when I do poof it’s magically gone. I figure tinnitus is the brains response to a lack of input in a specific frequency range, like filler noise.
Some examples:
- jutting my jaw forwards
- moving my ears back with my face muscles
- pushing downward on the top of my head with my hands

That's wild. Never tried that before but just did and I can 100% repro.
You’re wrong if clients can be used offline and sync when they come back online.
>They're making money building it

That's without mentioning PRC _HAS_ to rely on HSR. 90% people on east half of country = not enough flight corridors, which is already highly congested. Only mass transit solution left is HSR, build off domestic tech stack = 100s of billions not going to Boeing or Airbus. Also helps with energy security since it's electrified = 100s of billions saved on oil imports. Indepth analysis of HSR shows roughly 8% return. Win-win-win all around. Same with all the infra building, especially transportation networks in mountainous regions. Bridges that saves a millions of kms of travel = less fossil fuel short term and less energy storage medium long term. Convert steel and concrete into short/medium/long term energy savings.
Nvidia played its way to the domination of AI
I just tried a little personal experiment and I can manipulate my arms into all 3 positions well within 0.5 seconds, without exaggerating the movement. Start with your hands clasped (as in the right most image), then put your arms down but starting with your left. It also seems plenty bright enough to capture without motion blur. It could hardly take long to do some basic zonal stitching too. Having a hard time following why the case should seem so definitive. iOS does facial recognition for focusing ... wouldn't surprise me at all if the computational photography took a close-in-time separate still of each person, to get them as in focus as possible. It'd be pretty cool.

Well, maybe more people should argue that, after all, mostly the other few benefit from all this huge power imbalance of being able to chop someone's hand off (or do the modern financial ruin alternative)
