Why not? I'd imagine they're still a subdivision of human. Each super soldier probably has different augmentations/mutations to their different genetics, the same way different races do.

Edit: Maybe it's just easier for me to think about it in video game terms, where race/class is very common. Race can be anything from cyborg to cat person, and class would be "soldier" instead of "martial artist" or "cook" or whatever.

In the real world, IMO it'd be weird to think of them as a different species altogether, at least at first. Eventually they may evolve to something better.

I recently picked up a compact point and shoot (Sony ZV-1) as a secondary camera to my DSLR. It is pocketable, which makes it easy easier to carry around than my DSLR, and it is a higher quality camera than my phone (which is not the best anymore (S10) but is still quite good compared to more recent phones), with the added bonus of not being a tempting gateway to the Internet.

I got it because as someone currently in my mid 20s, I have never experienced being an adult without carrying a smart phone everywhere, and I want to experience that. I also don't want to lose the ability to take photos, nor do I want to lug my DSLR everywhere. So while the form factor makes it seem like a relic of 20 years ago, a point and shoot has been a great tool to add to my photography toolbelt.

Yes, the general principle of it is that you ask it to perform a task and then add materials that help guide it until it gets those tasks done. Once it works it will work forever (or until the APIs change :P)

Google Analytics can be accessed via API, so you can both create a normal text note hinting on what code could access it or you could create Python API material.

There might have been other stuff but the best I could tell from the linked pages: "blocking protection" refers to not giving full owner or mainter permissions to gitlab instance. Which are the required account levels to allow editing and deleting parts of issues and merge requests and other content. But those account levels also include a bunch of important technical permissions like managing deployment keys, access tokens, branch protection settings, none which should be required for people enforcing CoC.

Default Gitlab setup doesn't have roles which would be suitable for community moderators. But it seems like Gitlab Ultimate has support for custom roles which could have solved that issue. No idea if F-Droid is in the Gitlab Open-Source program which gives open source projects access to premium features.

I think there's a meaningful difference between adaptive systems and thinking systems. I would say that the latter have to build internal models of the system they're analyzing and adapting to in order to qualify as "thinking".

Evolution by natural selection is adaptive in the sense you describe, but no one would consider to be "thinking".

This is not the complaint. The complaint is that running "$ julia someplotting.jl" takes a long time (actually with 1.9.0 it's reasonable at < 3s, but adding other libraries makes it easily tens of seconds or even minutes).

It's possible that was an aim, and I'm not familiar with the timelines here, however this does again focus more on the mechanics of protos which I still don't think matter as much as them being fully integrated into a company like they are at Google.

Ask HN: A Tool to Make Your Team More Data-Driven – Would You Use It?
Hi HN community,

I’m in the process of developing a tool designed to enhance the data-driven capabilities of teams across various domains. This platform aims to simplify and optimize the way teams structure, brainstorm, execute, and analyze experiments - whether it’s for marketing, sales, product development, or AI.

Key proposed features include:

• Intuitive tools for collaborative brainstorming and idea generation.
• Agile methodologies for prioritizing and tracking experiments.
• Customizable metrics for each experiment to track progress and outcomes.
• Integration of successful experiment outcomes into business processes.

I’m reaching out to the HN community for feedback:

1. Do you feel a tool like this would make your team more data-driven?
2. What key features do you look for in an experimentation platform?
3. Are there gaps in current tools that a versatile, cross-domain platform like this could fill?

Your insights and experiences would be immensely valuable and help shape a tool that truly meets the needs of diverse, data-oriented teams.
And yet it is a repeatable process that:

- uses the information it already has combined with new inputs to form new information based on both (aka reasoning)

- retains learned information over time (aka memory)

- contains feedback loops to eventually eradicate "wrong" information (aka learning)

- converges to similar conclusions in similar circumstances (aka reasoning or possibly instict)

At least several of the most important parts of thought are there, though it is obviously very different than our own mind. That's OK, both submarines and penguins can move underwater but they do it in very different ways. No reason to think that thought wouldn't have multiple ways in which it could be implemented.

Evolution is also almost certainly not self-aware but neither is a dog and we consider dogs to be capable of thinking too.

Healthy for who? I have Inuit heritage (Sami) the Inuit pretty much 80 vegetables except for seaweeds. Our genetics have changed because of this diet and we’ve adapted to it to become our healthy diet.

It’s frustrating to me that there is zero talk about genetics when it comes to diet and specifically when it comes to keto because those of us who are carry genetic polymorphisms in our CPT1A gene that makes it harder for us to go into ketosis. Therefore, we do better on a higher meat diet.
Perhaps this cut is a precursor to being acquired by someone like Apple?
That's not possible. Joe Rogan doesn't have a podcast. Call it what it is. Rogan's show ceased being a podcast when it moved to Spotify. If you can't listen to it on a (1st gen) iPod, then it's not a podcast. Call it what it is; don't muddle the terms. "Podcast" is not a genre label or a program format.
> Spotify should have 100% looked at their cloud bills and built a way out of that lock-in.

Absolutely, but everything has ROI, ROI of fixing cloud bills were probably smaller than "possible growth"

Now they know which features failed, they can start deprecating or stop growing them and refocus on cloud bills
They invested the pandemic ZIRP bonanza on the 'transformative' IP that is podcasts.

I'm probably not the common usecase but I don't use Spotify for recommendations either.

I hate recommendation engines in software. One of the first things I always turn off when I install Spotify is the "When we finish your playlist we'll just keep playing similar music we think you'll like" option.

All I use Spotify for is to save myself the trouble of maintaining a media server and tracking down all the music I like to put on it

Police as a whole do not have to agree in order for some police to make that claim. In English, we often leave out the word "some", because we recognize that referring to a group of people very rarely includes the entire group.

HN links to vague "I'm stepping down" forum/mailing list/blog posts and even tweets all the time.
true, but without details we are not able to find out anything about the nature of these issues, and therefore it is not possible to draw any conclusions that would be helpful.

i am an f-droid user, and i am certainly concerned if there are issues in the community. but this post does not help to enlighten matters and i feel it will only attract vocal outsiders who have nothing substantial to contribute.

this issue needs to be handled internally by the active f-droid contributors, and if they are not issuing public statements with details on what is actually going on then the rest of us should stand back.

i doubt any message here is going to be helpful in resolving issues or even just learning more.
> Obfuscating C code shouldn't have any bearing on the decompilability of the output.

This is the entire point of obfuscation and it absolutely does affect how easy the code is to reverse engineer. If it didn’t, there wouldn’t be a market for obfuscators.
I think any economist would be able to separate the policy in question (UBI, a stipend paid directly to people) from the funding of that policy (potentially a high marginal tax rate, potentially increase in money supply -- two options you yourself identified, but there are infinite more ways to do it).

All of the downward pressure on housing prices you have theorized are coming from (one of) the proposed funding methods, not UBI. UBI doesn't have to be funded in this way, so it should be self-evident that this pressure isn't coming from UBI itself. You would get the same (alleged) effect that you're mentioning if you don't do UBI at all and instead just more steeply increase marginal tax rates. You would not get that effect at all if you implement UBI but fund it by a method other than steep marginal tax rates. So the proposed effect is coming from the tax scheme, not from UBI.

I think you're clearly not willing to reconsider your views, which frankly I get since UBI should be a really great idea. And if it would work, I would fully support it (in fact I used to). But empirical evidence of similar policies getting baked into land rent is apparently outright dismissible, and there's apparently no need for evidence of your claim that higher marginal tax rates at the top end reduce rents at the low end?

What would convince you otherwise?
A big part of protecting pedestrians is visibility and automatic braking. I know Cybertruck has a bumper-height forward-facing camera, and I would expect the Tesla software to be very good.

As for direct visibility, while I'm sure it's worse in a Cybertruck than with a small car, I'm interested to know how it compares to other trucks. With a shorter front (in both height and depth) you would think it would be better, and I'm guessing it probably is.

Unfortunately you must look closely at the details to deeply understand how something works. Even when I already have a decent mental heuristic about how an algorithm works, I get a much richer understanding by calculating the output of an algorithm by hand.

At least for me, I don't really understand something until I can see all of the moving parts and figure out how they work together. Until then, I just see a black box that does surprising things when poked.

For everybody complaining about the non-transformative character of PDF: There are several PDF standards out in the wild.

In the graphic industry we mainly use PDF/X files. These are very solid and precise in defining the layout and how objects are rendered.

For archiving purposes there's another standard, it's called PDF/A. Part of PDF/A is that you must be able to transform its text content back to Unicode.

So, if you're looking into being able to convert PDFs back and forth, you should probably use PDF/A. PDF/X files will drop that support to maintain the desired appearance as close as possible.

For many complaints TTFP is not about REPL or notebook. It's about how long it takes for a new Julia process to do the plot.

TTFP is (close to) solved. 1.9.0 TTFP is under 3 seconds for me, which I find about acceptable for script-type workflow. However, time-to-first-DynamicalSystems is still around 10 seconds, which is not.

The connection between depression, trauma, etc and substance abuse is widely documented. In tough times people drink more alcohol and do more drugs.
https://americanaddictioncenters.org/treating-depression-sub...
https://www.addictioncenter.com/addiction/depression-and-add...

> Depression can increase the risk of chronic illness, including the disease of substance abuse. Up to a third of clinically depressed people engage in drug or alcohol abuse. These chemical intoxicants can become a form of self-medication for soothing the feelings of low self-worth, hopelessness, and despair that characterize this mental health disorder.

Perhaps I miss some nuance of what you're questioning because I find it surprising that my point was strange to you and now I'm confused.
The pandemic trend at many of these companies was to aggressively overhire. If you look at headcount for many of these companies it’s still significantly above 2020 levels and even often above the old trend lines.

If you hire an unprecedented number of people in short period of time, you’re almost always going to have to cut a significant number of them later. Hiring is hard and even during good times a rapid expansion like we saw during COVID hiring is going to bring in people and departments that don’t work out.

> The most obvious and likely outcome is it drastically separates the ultra wealthy from middle class.

I think this doesn’t obviously follow. Like I said, hiring trends aren’t all that distorted if you average out the recent layoffs with the excessive COVID hiring.
I too am incredibly salty from my past accessibility work. Knowing the HTML attributes is one thing, but applying them to your product in a predictable way is another. Folks talk about the importance of cross-browser testing, but willfully neglect cross-screenreader testing. The incentive for industry to meet the needs of these users just isn't where it should be. Too many stakeholders agree that meeting the needs of able users is good enough. Accessibility is just a checkbox for most organizations. A token gesture that "we care" when really it just means "we care enough until we are forced to care more".
Yes, it's good to remember that use cases differ, and that not everyone has a few TB to share between multiple devices. Of all the people I know who still use cloud storage, none of them pay for it because it's not needed, and the free quota (15GB) is largely compatible with a sync-everywhere strategy where all files are always copied everywhere, thanks to Syncthing for example. Even for photos this is doable.
That's some internet
Interesting use of GPT; it's cool that it works as well as it does but I'd be nervous about the various insidious ways it can fail.

On another note, are there tools that will scan your AWS/GCP logs and emit configuration to limit permissions to what you're actually using? I could even see GPT doing better here too, or at least it would be easier to test.
