Pessimism can be a tool but I think using it comes at a cost.

Pessimism may lead to some kinds of action, but also leads to missing out on good opportunities. Over the years, I’ve started to look at it like a poison. In the past, it has drastically reduced the possibility space available to me.

Blind optimism is not useful either, but in general, rational optimism leads to better outcomes.
Why is this coming up today? This behavior has been a thing when sharing videos from the Mobile app since at least early October.

Edit: found a you.be link of mine with the `si` param from August 23rd.
I don't think a direct threat of enforcement is the problem. A king who was known to have gone back on his word would be an illegitimate ruler and he would be unable to function as king within his court and his kingdom. He would end up getting deposed, but that wouldn't be part of an effort to enforce the king's promise, it would just be what happens to kings who aren't fit to rule.

The direct consequence of the king breaking his vow is "only" that the king loses his prestige. But the indirect consequences are severe; "king" is a position from which it is not safe to be removed.

Why would that cause red shift?
The law is clearly not preventing vendors from selling X, its preventing them dumping it if they can't sell it.

Not sure how people can't see this difference. Preventing companies dumping or disposing of their (harmful) waste (in an unregulated manner) is pretty common practise and generally agreed upon good thing.
I love the concept of Beeper or now "Beeper Cloud" and I am trying really hard to use the app but the app is just too sluggish to be usable. I am not sure why, perhaps because it's built on top of the Matrix oss app, not sure.

Eventually, opening WhatsApp/Telegram is super quick and Beeper is too slow
Google potenzia Smart Compose AI per Risolvere Equazioni Matematiche in Tempo Reale

Google, il gigante tecnologico, ha presentato un significativo miglioramento al suo strumento Smart Compose AI, consentendo di affrontare equazioni matematiche semplici in modo rapido e accurato all'interno delle varie applicazioni Google come Docs, Slides, Sheets e Drawings.

L'aggiornamento introduce una funzionalità innovativa che permette agli utenti di ricevere soluzioni in tempo reale per problemi matematici di base durante l'utilizzo dell'ecosistema Google. Questo potenziamento si basa sulle capacità esistenti di Smart Compose, offrendo agli utenti suggerimenti immediati e ampliando ora la sua utilità nel campo della risoluzione dei problemi matematici.

Con la nuova funzione attiva, digitare un'equazione matematica che termina con il segno di uguale (=) induce Smart Compose a generare possibili soluzioni sotto forma di suggerimenti in testo grigio. Queste soluzioni matematiche offrono agli utenti un modo efficiente per valutare rapidamente espressioni matematiche, semplificando i processi di lavoro attraverso la suite di applicazioni per la produttività di Google.

Google ha garantito che questa funzionalità si integri senza problemi nel suo quadro esistente, con la capacità di Smart Compose abilitata per impostazione predefinita. Tuttavia, gli utenti che potrebbero non osservare inizialmente i suggerimenti matematici possono attivare questa funzionalità navigando su Strumenti > Preferenze. Qui, selezionando 'Mostra suggerimenti Smart Compose' e cliccando OK si abilita la visualizzazione delle soluzioni matematiche all'interno delle rispettive app.

Anche se Smart Compose aiuta gli utenti fornendo suggerimenti di testo in Fogli o durante la stesura di documenti in Documenti, Google sottolinea che questa funzionalità matematica non fornisce risposte definitive e potrebbe non sempre offrire informazioni precisamente corrette dal punto di vista dei fatti. Tuttavia, il gigante tecnologico assicura agli utenti che questa esperienza matematica senza soluzione di continuità mira ad aumentare la produttività e l'accuratezza durante la risoluzione di equazioni matematiche in tutte le applicazioni Google Workspace.

Il recente aggiornamento è iniziato a essere distribuito su vari livelli di Workspace, che includono Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Essentials Starter, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Essentials Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Fundamentals, Education Standard, Education Plus, l'Upgrade per Insegnamento e Apprendimento e le Organizzazioni Non Profit.

L'impegno continuo di Google nel migliorare le funzionalità di Workspace ha visto un recente aumento di aggiornamenti, inclusi l'introduzione di funzionalità come il gesto di alzare la mano, la visualizzazione a schermo intero, la modalità On-The-Go, video in alta definizione completa in Meet, il supporto emoji in Fogli, la pagina di attività di Google Drive, tra gli altri. Inoltre, Google ha annunciato la prossima dismissione della sua app di lavagne bianche, Jamboard, prevista per la chiusura entro la fine dell'anno prossimo.

For one, Ubuntu should stop breaking Firefox with Snap, even though I think that is a relatively small user base. (There are some suggested fixes but I think the simplest is to bypass Ubuntu's packages and just download FF directly from Mozilla).
Surely someone has at some point come up with a theory that was testable with then-current equipment.
these are great examples, thanks for sharing! the second one is particularly interesting. python seems like a perfect fit for that use case.

are there any limitations you encounter with NiceGUI? do you need a user permission feature or does each user get admin access? can you see it scaling up easily?
What do you prefer about Android?
Or they could pay taxes like everyone else and let the elected governments tackle those issues.
No, that's not really the problem. You can implement branching of a sorts in analog, but branching isn't a very useful concept here.

The strength of digital is that your logic is implemented as information instead of physical pieces. Your CPU contains all the hardware to perform any operation, and your code is what directs the flow of information. When you get down to bare basics, the CPU is a pretty simple machine without much more complexity than a clockwork mechanism. It's an extremely fascinating subject and I very highly recommend Ben Eater's breadboard CPU videos on YouTube. But I digress.

The real trick is that digital computers are general purpose. They can compute any problem that is computable, with no physical changes. It's purely information that drives the system. An analog computer is a single-purpose device[0] designed to compute a very specific set of equations which directly model a physical system. Any changes to that set of equations requires physical changes to the machine.

[0] general purpose analog computers do exist, but generally they're actually performing digital logic. There have only been a few general purpose true-analog computers ever designed AFAIK. See Babbage's difference engine.

> If you want to maximize the utility of a dataset like this, you really would want to let each speaker at least assign a lot of tags/labels to their profile; even if you don't want to deal with the hornet nest of trying to figure out all the distinctions, even unstructured labels would be a start, and ideally allowing people to tag individual recordings as well, because there are a lot more variations than just "language" and "accent" here.

This is exactly what the freeform accent (actually "variant") field is. You can add as many tags as you like. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/how-we-are-making-com...
I don't even get thousandths of a penny for viewing ads - someone else does.
I'm seeing this a lot with news sites, they'll redirect your back press to a page screen with bunch of click bait headline/images. Some of them are pretty disturbing at first glance, seems like they're trying to get shocking images in front of you to keep you engaged. I think they're trying to fight against news aggregators but it's such a shitty idea.

The funny/sad thing is the folks adding this functionality are probably reading my comment. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
> and there is a large group of people who think that it is impossible to use human verbs like “watch” in the context of AI

Oh come on, you're reaching here. If the intention was to make a commentary on the personhood of AI, the FAQ would not have said, "the AI isn't watching your video", it would have said, "the AI lacks the ability to perceive reality in human terms."

I think we both know that an advertiser was not sitting down to write this thinking, "wait, holy crud the AI isn't watching the video... because it can't watch anything". Keep in mind the context that this is a corporate FAQ about an advertising campaign, not a philosophical essay about AI personhood.

> That’s not data on streams, it’s data on channels. [...] Whether the can appeared has nothing to do with the content of the stream.

What on earth are you talking about?

The visible content in the video stream is not the content in the stream because it's not important enough to the overall content of the stream, so that means this is all data on channels, even though the data is specifically relevant to individual streams and not to channels and even though all of the communication between the bot and the streamer is happening through the individual stream and not through the channel, and even though all of the policies are per-stream and not per-channel. Do I understand that correctly?

This is absurd.

> Save your outrage

I guess speaking of ambiguity of language on HN I should clarify that I'm not outraged at Mountain Dew, I'm mocking the company. I agree this is not a big issue largely because the advertising campaign itself is pathetic and meaningless and is probably going to be largely ignored by actual streamers.

This is a campaign that in the absence of compensation is offering streamers the ability to "supe" their followers via randomly selected 10-minute clips on the Mountain Dew Twitch channel. So agreed, this is not worth taking seriously.

But while it's not worth getting outraged over the Mountain Dew company debasing itself, attempts to excuse deceptive or outright inaccurate messaging about corporate data usage based on technicalities and strained excuses about what people "understand" about privacy is all too common in the current tech landscape and it's generally good to mock the companies that try to pull that crap and to call them out as scummy.
My hit rate for those 15-to-30-second snippets they play at the top of the hour on NPR is something like 10%. It's been getting worse and worse over the years.
Brazilian here. Nobody takes this corrupt idiot seriously.
He shouldn’t appeal to most anyone regardless of party affiliation, but he supports the “my freedom of speech” people by allowing and unbanning some of the worst of Twitter, so he has a particular audience he’s attached himself to. Mind you, he was left until they started paying attention to who he was and once that happened, he found it easier to oppose the more right-leaning folks.

Sweden's long-term growth at risk from gang crime, warns central bank chief
Exactly, these people are doing the valuable work of screening the crackpots, for no pay - and the only cost is that they'll also build an impregnable fortress to prevent almost anyone from ever changing anything unless they feel very strong with it and can traverse challenge social and organizational obstacle courses. This keeps the rate of change at a nice, steady, manageable trickle.
Thanks! Makes sense.. your paper is very good. It stresses the importance of understanding the mathematical tools we use and if we don’t how it can lead us astray.
What was the argument for assessing the fees? A lot of internet traffic is to them, so they should pay South Korean telecom companies/ISPs because...?

Logical fallacies are your superpower. Bravo.
I'm glad a lot of people have done this and have commented on this and it's a decade ago.

I hope more people get to try this out when they can. Ethernet is a bus, and after switching, the usage has become point to point. It will be a fun experience to get.

I think that site could benefit from something like this. The CSS on that site is, um, not optimized.
Emulation software isn’t wholly original as it needs firmware and software from the device so emulated. An iPhone emulator with no bootrom and no iOS isn’t very useful.

An open source client for an API need not include any non-original works.
We recently got a heatpump and... it feels like witchcraft. It chugs away even at 20F blowing hot air into our house.

It’s not like Apple sells hardware that you have to pay for softupdates to unlock functionality (except for updated WiFi that one time over a decade ago, but that was a GAAP accounting issue, IIRC).

I’m not a fan of how unserviceable the hardware is (especially coming from the days of PowerBooks and the first decade of MacBooks we hear everything was user upgradable/replacable. But I am a fan of having a silent, super fast computer with all day battery.

As far as I know, the copycats copied the worst parts of Apple without realizing they need to make pleasant to use, secure, private systems first.
Wow that's not many at all. In fact, simply on a net basis, I'm willing to wager that the benefits very likely outweigh the costs.
I often think that old, high quality goods (like cars, audio gear, plastics, furniture, colours that don’t fade) were made with materials or processors that aren’t acceptable today. Which kind of makes me sad for the future and sad for the past.

The post mentions BEM specifically and argues why this alternative is better

> just slows everything it touches to a crawl

The docs call out how there's little to no overhead with the runtime.

Is any part of your comment related to this library specifically? Or just CSS-in-JS?
You're kind of leaving out the whole "literally poisons the user or gives them cancer" part. I certainly wouldn't trade slightly better thermostats for a higher risk of heavy metals poisoning.

Also LED bulbs are great – they're much more efficient, and much cheaper. They can be great for reading, you just need to get one of the correct brightness. You can even do things like https://meaningness.com/sad-light-lumens which would bankrupt you (figuratively) if you used tungsten filament bulbs. Obviously you want to get LEDs of the right hue, and LEDs tend to be a bit colder than tungsten by default. Of course the upper range of tungesten is higher but this is irrelevant for all practical purposes (unless you're staging a West End or Broadway production).
A million percent agreed. I seriously do not understand how Sony and Warner Bros. signed a deal like this in the first place.
TL;DR: 3M’s magnetic storage business was spun off into “Imation”, which then in turn died a slow death.

Imation…now that’s a brand I haven’t seen in a long time. Brings back memories!
Here in Europe there is so much demand for wood that forests are being grown just to be cut down and turned into pellets - it's not just waste that goes into them.

Maybe it's not as bad as fossil fuels, but it still has the same issues as commercial monoculture farming, which is why there are issues with bark beetles now. And most of these forests start by tearing down old growth forests.
A more evil version of this is detecting which news aggregator sent you there, then making that clickbait page look like the source aggregator. I've seen this with the news feed from Chrome on Android, clicking on a store then going back I thought I was back on the news feed but the stories just didn't look right.

It's not just you. It's super hit-or-miss for me. Do you have an Android phone? I've read complaints that Shazam's accuracy dropped for them after Apple bought it.

When I think of protectionism, I think of things like the agriculture and aerospace industries for the sake of food and national security. What is the strategic benefit of game streaming? Does loss of that industry represent an existential national threat??
Because that's what governments are for. A lot of these pet causes of the ultra rich is just reputation laundering.

Maybe start with making sure your platform does not spread anti-vaccine, anti-science misinformation?

That would require taking an ad impressions hit and a monetary loss, a sacrifice too steep to make for the public good.
> the toxic culture is coming from the moderators

And the moderators are given free reign to behave that way _because_ of so-called "toxic behavior" from the users.
I don't know if assurances is the right term, but everything around machine learning and generation seems to be quite liberal with respecting people's property, so indeed something called "donate your voice" made me pause.

Mozilla is probably the right organization for that. Their main product however is dwindling, and I'm not sure what will happen to their data if they ceased to exist. There is a tendency for dying organizations to be pulled apart for scraps, and this would definitely become an IP of interest for a lot of companies with much lesser noble causes
The thing that gets me about Mozilla is they were doing thing with xulrunner years ago that WebKit is being used for now with electron apps. But Mozilla didn't develop it. There were crossplatform apps being built with gecko.

Seeking internships, junior developer, or junior software engineer positions. I will be graduating with my B.S. in Computer Science in June 2024. Formerly, I was a commercial helicopter pilot before deciding to take my career a different direction. I value getting things done, working as a team, and producing results. Thank you for your consideration!
Progression at my current company has stagnated. Management is a lot more stingy with promotions lately. It stinks because I’m the kind of person that gets excited about work even if it might seem boring to others, and without a path forward it’s pretty deflating. I’m not complaining though, at least I’m still employed.

So I’ve been spending my free time working on a project that’s turned into a startup idea. I found a cofounder and we intend to apply to YC. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll use it as resume material and start interviewing next year. I really wish I could quit my job now but I need the money.
Pretty cool, it printed a list of over 8000 on my machine (Ubuntu, well Kubuntu now) and then proceeded to speak the voices after printing them all.

Solar/wind don't have fuel costs, but they do have maintenance costs, and they tend to get replaced fairly often relative to nuclear installations, and while none of the above lasts forever. Like a modern wind turbine is rated at 20 years, but most installations are operating at half that in favor of installing larger turbines instead of using existing turbines that produce less power. Gridscale solar is much in the same situation, where, the panels themselves are rated for 25-ish years, but, are replaced early in favor of something newer and more productive.

The reasons for the early replacement is simple really, land costs alot of money, and not all land is suitable for solar/wind, so, you can't expand your solar/wind farm past a certain point, so it makes sense to get into newer, better, generation devices as cost/subsidy availability allows.

Hence why you really have to look at total cost over time instead of just static operating costs, or post-subsidy costs, or just cost/MWH

What you'll find is that solar/wind are indeed pretty cheap, but, they're also only pretty available, so you need base load, and if your goal is clean power, you need clean base load, for that job there's nothing even close to nuclear.

Really what we should be doing is yanking 100% of the future oil/gas/coal subsidies and shoving them at standardized reactor/plant designs and uranium mining. Then allow that standardized design to bypass existing nuclear regulators, and spin up new regulators and regulations to fast track those standardized designs being rolled out. That's more or less what France did, and it's served them well so far.

We can probably run with that model until fusion power is a reality, or we find a way to make solar panels way more efficient (we're running at like 20% currently, but we can get to ~40% in a lab, theoretical maximum is 80%, so room left to grow there), or some other major breakthrough.
It would not, because the solar strip offers less power than the device consumes—by a lot. The cell would not really ever charge. You'd need a solar strip that's pretty darn large (by my rough math, 1-2 index cards in area, at least). At that point, how is it a useful form factor? And again, that's assuming the best possible lighting, which is not the case for either a light switch or an air tag.

I suppose you could use a little solar strip to make a button battery last longer? But you're talking about a difference of like 100 days of life versus 102 days of life.
I touch on this a bit in the post, but here’s about what I do for speakers:

1. Pay close attention to intros channel in the Cleveland area Slack channel and cherry pick the individuals who are doing cool work. We get a lot of boomerang thirty-something remote workers moving back to Cleveland to be closer to family. Giving a talk is a great way for them to reestablish themselves and meet folks in the area.

2. Straight up cold-contact interesting businesses and ask if they have any interest in participating. Surprisingly high success rate on this one, but it does work. Companies like to brag about what makes them special, I just happen to choose the ones that I really do find to be unique.

If those don’t work, I’d rather host a general social with no speaker than force a bad topic or always host repeat speaker appearances.
