It's such an obvious obfuscation of what everyone can assume is a permanent ownership of user data. As well as the assumption that it's use will be limited. There are no supports for user data retention in the ToS. Unless a whistleblower reveals specific uses of the data and users litigate the issue, they do what they want with zero opposition.
While an empty substring is a substring of every string, attempting to find its index in any string must signal an error, because there is no univocal value of such an index (all possible index values are equally valid answers).

On the other hand, a predicate that tests whether an empty substring is found in a string must indeed return "true".

In a function that must return a single value, an error must be signaled both when there is no value that can be returned and when there are multiple values that could be returned.

If the index of the substring is defined as the smallest such index, which makes it unique even for multiple substring occurrences, then the search function must return 0 or 1 for an empty substring, whichever is defined to be the first index.

Attempting to search an empty string for non-empty or empty substrings should always signal an error, because there are no valid index values that could be returned.
I can read between the lines... Get a job Brad! :-D
The biggest advantage of a bunker would be the first year of survival. You can comfortably wait while the population resolves itself, and later emerge with a group of trusted people (agriculturists, scientists, doctors) who are much healthier, loaded with weapons, and available to start a new society.
Interesting that none of the comments so far have said anything about one of the primary points of the article - not just the nature of the bunker, but the impact on the locals. It's not insignificant that Zuckerberg is building a little fiefdom in a place with an infamous history of exploitation by powerful outsiders. The story of the guard who died on the property and whose family had trouble getting information about the circumstances of his death is emblematic of the issue: you push your way onto this land and fail to integrate peacefully with the people already living there. It's not right.
They also need a 32-bit version. The actual, easiest solution to appliance-ify Unifi OS was to take some "run it on your Raspberry Pi!" guide and convert the instructions to Debian 32-bit.
Winbox UI might be not according to the latest UX fashion, but is pretty effective.
Pretty sure Finnish people jump on a ferry to get cheap booze from Estonia instead. Just like Estonians jump on a bus and get cheap booze from Latvia. Where Latvia goes however, I do not know.

I remember this being a space-saving technique on TI calculators as well. Some of them allowed using lowercase letters in console output, but why would you bother when it ate into the KB of total storage you had to work with.
Which part of Europe? Ppe is very much mandatory with big fucking signs on every site displaying what is required where i am. And I mean every [legal] site*.
A site without a sign invites a lot of questions. When I had my building renovated, the builder tried to work without a sign....no chance!
By registering, and displaying the sign, it meant he had to follow the rules.
I never saw similar in the uk (for example on a house), but I also wasn't looking, despite labouring for several years there.
The Firefox paradox:

People b***h about Firefox's (lack of) market share, Mozilla doing stupid things (fair criticism), Firefox not having X (extension support on Mobile, moving from legacy extensions to standard manifest format)

Then people will still bring up this baggage even when something good happens, will refuse to move away from the browser monoculture/monopoly, s**t on Firefox devs

FFS, something good happened. No other browser has this. Yet people will find a way to lessen it. For what? What benefit?
As a vehicle user, and not a stock holder, there is only heuristic that will determine whether I get into either of their vehicles: Which one is more likely to kill me.

I'll take a ride in a self driving taxi through residential streets that might hit a dog.

I will not pay for a vehicle that will hard brake on a highway or drive under a tractor trailer.

Maybe after more deaths and data Tesla will pull ahead in that risk calculation but I will not pay to be part of that.

Why do you think his goal is to isolate himself, or build a doomsday society? I you consider it to be an expensive villa for a guy which has reasons to be afraid of kidnapping, and rich enough to make his safe room really big, then all pieces fall in place neatly.
As someone who has been far down this road and built libraries in other languages, I would espouse that this is mostly not worth time.

The community for ML is built around Python and C++, and you will be fighting upstream the whole way instead of just producing things that are useful to people.

Cuda is written in C++ so most of everything builds up from that. Python has great C++ interop, not many languages do. The scale of tooling that has been built in Python is not easily replicated. I've watched libraries come and go over the years as they finally realize they can't keep up and it takes a big community to tackle these problems.

You can learn a lot by writing ML in other languages, and I get it, Python leaves a lot to be desired, but if you want to build things that are truly useful, I would stick with the community.
In simple terms, water is more than 20 times more efficient in transferring heat energy than air. The more moisture in the air, the more heat energy transmitting matter there is per volume, the more you feel heat or cold.

That is why it can feel less cold when temperatures fall lower than 0 degrees Celsius (32 Fahrenheit): Most of the moisture in the air becomes solid and falls to the ground.

Don't we all love those wet cold days?
Hmm yeah you could be right.

The black hole evaporates at a finite speed relative to the outside observer. So someone falling in will by logic see this evaporation speed accelerate.

Before he touches the event horizon the black hole should have completely evaporated already so time never actually "freezes".

That's an interesting solution and resolves the paradox. When the black hole evaporates the reference frames become consistent again.
"The ads, which are on heavy rotation on cable television ..."

I have literally never seen a coinbase video ad in my life. Anywhere.
Just remember (this isn’t directed specifically at you), because apparently this needs reinforcing: public roads are not a racetrack! If you want to drive recklessly go to a track day. If you can afford a fast car and tires you can afford a track day. Public roads have wildlife, and the public on them.
It could be more legible on low-resolution displays, while being less legible overall. E.g. Verdana and other typefaces with high x-height.
This is all good but how do you deal with someone that just wants to win and not discuss?
And that's literally still allowed today.
No, it's the other direction (away from monke): go toward open source :)
> as critical thinking is a key component of intelligence.

When I evaluate this statement, my brain raises a type error.

Intelligence is a lot of things -- compression among them, and yes possibly an RL-based AI would use an actor-critic approach for evaluating its actions, but I doubt that at all maps onto the human activity we call "critical thinking."

To me, critical thinking involves stuff like questioning assumptions, logical reasoning, weighing whatever I'm thinking about against my experience with similar situations previously, yada yada, all stuff that are symptoms of intelligence but I am not at all sure are the actual embodiment there of.

I really don't see that critical thinking is at all required for a raw optimization process.
The problem they are trying to solve is what happens when that optimization process isn't aligned with human flourishing?

Think about it another way. Covid was a dumb optimization process, only evolutionarily-guided, and it still hit us pretty hard!

Edit: Another interesting way I just thought about this that might support your idea more is, of course critical thinking is the sort of thing that a "better" brain would do automatically, it would just be thinking.
Of course, we can't know that it's thinking "good" things--we can't even know if other humans are! So it's probably a good idea to figure out how to influence that sort of thing before making something with regular thinking which is equivalent to or superior to our critical thinking.
I'm not talking about terra-luna v2.

I'm talking about v1.
For current LLMs that's not technically feasible, because every single token they output is influenced by every token they trained on - so any answer you got from them would have to include disclosure of millions of documents that went into the training set.

(I'd very much like them to disclose the full scope of their training set, but it's not possible for them to do that on a prompt-by-prompt basis in the way you describe.)
Some background on why this DX:
- you can pass real props and see how the component works.
- you work in the same dev env, as you already do (IDE/Editor)
- It leads to splitting the code into smaller blocks (which is good for LLM and humans).
You probably don’t make every person who visits sign an NDA.
Well, prior to the 20th century, in most of the world one wouldn't have needed currency changers or border checks. Passports were uncommon and most currencies were in gold or silver coinage of standardized weights. As the tensions around the world grew, passports and enforced borders became more common in the run up to WWI.
What reason could there possibly be for looking for an empty string?
Zimbabwean dollars foretell the fate of all paper currencies, they might have some monetary qualities, but they lack the important bits like hardness.
I agree you didn't say that. It just felt relevant to share my perspective there.

Your friends may very well all fall into the category you describe. There exist nonzero scenarios where people don't.
I think the point they're making is that 90% of the discussion is about the thing that doesn't even exist yet

That it drowns out actual problems that currently exist

Companies can deploy even these intermediary models to influence you
But if you've played another fighting game before, Tekken feels clunky as hell. If you don't know all of your character's common strings, you quickly find yourself in situations where you're just stuck in move recovery for ages. There isn't a common design pattern of making every stopping point in the string feel natural.

I think that in contrast to Soul Calibur, this happens because the attacks are so fast. Watching for every string to stop at every move makes block punishing too hard in Tekken, if everything in the string was around the same level of frame disadvantage on block. Soul Calibur, by contrast, has most moves enough slower that you can identify the string ending in time to block punish when possible. But as a side effect, attacks in Soul Calibur can recover when they look like they recover. (For the most part. There are always weird exceptions.) So as a result, even when you don't know the game, attacks feel far less clunky than Tekken.

Combine that with Tekken's really bad movement (until you learn the mechanics that exploit the way input is handled), massive move lists, and very little input portability between characters, and you get a really frustrating experience that's mostly unique to starting to play Tekken.
It's really not debatable, because you're still allowed to make hobbyist projects today. Nobody is stopping you! The nature of the internet today is a superset of the old internet.

I mean, ol' mini-hands _has_ promised to do some deeply alarming things if he gets a second term; I'm not entirely sure what your point is?
> The much more significant antagonist for financially vulnerable young adults is the Federal Reserve and its inflationary monetary policy that has priced many out of ever owning a home

The Federal Reserve doesn't control housing policy; local politics (often NIMBY's) do. House prices are high because there are not enough houses in cities where NIMBY's control the city council. No amount of interest rate adjustments will lower house prices if there are not enough houses to begin with.

The alternative to high interest rates from the Fed is high inflation, and inflation is even more harmful to the average citizen. There's a reason Powell keeps emphasizing stable price levels in every single speech he gives, because high inflation is something that must not be allowed to happen.

Cryptocurrency is not an inflation hedge, it's way too volatile for that. Cryptocurrency is the most speculative of speculative investments, and one must buy in knowing that you're flipping a coin and praying that it lands on tails.
> Why would Israel do that.

Boycott divestment and sanctions.

Although, in Israel's case, just losing the multiple billions of dollars it receives every year from the U.S., and loss of its uniquely favored trading status with the EU, might be enough, on its own, to motivate Israel to change course.

Nintendo Switch too IIRC, to guard against users downgrading to a prior firmware with vulnerabilities.
Not about sides. Some people are just afraid of things. Afraid everyone is out to steal their kids. Afraid of war. Afraid of immigrants. Afraid of not enough immigrants. This just appeals to those people.
We already have systems that can evaluate first order logical statements, and they are clearly not capable of critical thinking in the same sense as the top-level comment. Motte and bailey.
Nope. Because even if you equip it with sensory subsystems which are way more sensitive than a regular humans', it's again built by humans, and required knowledge for building these things are still in collective knowledge of the humanity, and a human can use the same instruments to get the same data.

This is a kind of an oracle problem in computation, and people don't want to touch it much, because it's an existential problem.

Examples: ATLAS and ALICE detectors, gravitational wave detectors, James Webb Space Telescope, wide band satellites which does underground surveys, etc.
Again: I now have changed the repository description to "A pure C (-std=c89) implementation of Go channels, including blocking and non-blocking selects.", so hopefully this idiotic discussion will come to an end.

It's always nice and very motivating when you spend your free time on a project for the benefit of the public and are then publicly defamed by some busybodies with some irrelevant side issues. Thank you all very much for that.

Concerning your attitude please consult the guidelines of this forum which state "Plese respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead." Maybe next time.

The string of all strings that don’t contain themselves as substrings.
This was posted 18 hours ago. If you can't either verify the user has actual access to other people's consoles (at which point you should be immediately turning access off) in 18 hours, then you should probably just close up shop because you have no business providing remote access to a can of soup much less someone's firewall.

If the user in question was making it up, you should also have posted within minutes of discovery that the user in question (and multiple other people) were making false claims.

Again, they've chosen the "we're looking into it" route which is always reassuring.
For "most people", I wouldn't know, but for the typical HN reader, I would advise something open-source, verifiable, DIY, stateless and air-gapped, and that is the seedsigner:

To me, this is the perfect solution for a long term saving account, completed with a Lightning wallet for spending. The coldcard and Jade wallet are also great options.
cuda isn't just the cuda cores but also the parallel programming library that Nvidia developed (which runs under the hood for stuff like Tensforflow and Pytorch)

I dabbled a bit with it in college for a course

replacing it ain't gonna be easy (or even a desired thing for some)
But now you're subsituting "jarring" for "legible". They're dependent, of course, but not synonyms.

What's jarring depends entirely on what we are used to. What's legible depends among other things on how distinctive the shapes look to our visual system.
> Unless you expect people to cash out their life's savings every 12 months, I don't see why anyone should care if an asset's price is correlated to the last 18 months of the M2

So you're saying that your "inflation hedge" has no appreciable correlation to inflation or monetary supply over 18-month periods?

> And "Inflation hedge" has been redefined to be something that isn't very useful for investing.

"Inflation Hedge" is just bullshit. Its easy enough to call out. If you want a real reason to invest, then tell me the real reasons. Don't make up bullshit terms.
That's a formality. Once major browsers ship WebGPU without flags, the spec itself can actually be codified as a standard rather than draft. And I'm sure Deno will follow suit in the version after that event.

Based on current progress in browsers, I'd guess at least 2 will have it enabled without flags by end of Q1 2024. Chrome sort of already does, but for select platforms only.

I highly doubt the API will change from now till then.
I'm hoping for a happy coincidence: that expansion of space due to dark energy increases over time without bound. Then the person falling into a black hole will observe the outside universe passing by faster and faster until the expansion of space overcomes the black hole's gravitational pull. The person is thus rescued from crossing the event horizon ... though still torn apart by the expansion.

Sure, there's no evidence for this (yet?). But it'd be a nice solution to the paradox.
There's an old expression - instead of try to save money on your taxes, find a way to make more money instead.

I would give the same advice to people who freak out 'oh my god, inflation, it's going to eat all my money, even though I live in stable America and not Argentina' - chill out. Instead of freaking out and putting your money into unstable investments that have a high non-zero change of going to zero, find a way to make more money.

Stories of people who put their money into risky investments that promised high interest, only to lose their shirt, are quite common in crypto at least - those people would have been much better served just keeping their cash.
In this theory of computational bounds in nature, how did humans arise?
They should have called it Oracle, then ;)
> That made me actually laugh. Internet access is ubiquitous, parental digital literacy is often low, none of those are actually helpful suggestions that would help address the symptom.

And tools for enforcing any kind of rules on your own are hot garbage. Especially any that a normal person could possibly hope to figure out.

You either have to cut off the 'net entirely (which is less practical with each passing year) or commit to a second job of managing this crap.

I'm not a fan of bills like this, but also something's gonna have to change, or we'll get... bills like this.

My guess is nothing will change, and this sort of thing is what'll happen instead.

Man I was expecting some massive result, where some plucky engineer unraveled a huge inefficiency buried all this time in node.

Precisely this. If it has its own space it takes up, if its locomotion results in its own sensors ingesting data in a manner it decided to, it is more of an individual - one that is capable of selective learning.

Coming from Norway to Dublin, one of my biggest annoyances is the winter is 5-6 degrees warmer... which puts it right above zero... which makes it feel much, much colder.

I'm generally center-left-leaning and a paying subscriber to the NYT and I've felt this way for years now. But still stuck because it is sadly still my main source of news, but increasingly opinionated. And occasionally I find pieces on the economist and FT refreshingly just informative.

With the NYT, I've often found myself reading articles and checking 2-3 times if I'm accidentally reading an op-ed piece instead of an article due to the obvious bias (even if that bias happens to agree with my politics, I don't want the bias there... I just want the information).

Or finding that articles that would normally belong in the New Yorker or NY Times Magazine are in the main "newspaper" (if those distinctions even make sense anymore).

But occasionally they do good work. But that's increasingly rare.
While I respect Kiwi for implementing extension support, they've often fell far behind the upstream Chromium codebase and they're significantly smaller than even Firefox for Android. So I don't think they'd really be a "major" Android browser.

Then again, Firefox could easily be said to not be a major Android browser either!
