I created an account just to refute this ridiculous comment.
Flaubert genius was he was incredibly economical in his writing. Salambo, Temptation of St Anthony, Madame Bovary and Sentimental Education are all so wildly different. Event translated into English the fragrant, elegance comes through. Nabokov, James Joyce, William James and Cormac McCarthy all tooks lessons from him and recognized the power of his writing.

The papers of Cormac McCarthy have some self inspired French poetry inspired from 'The Temptation of St. Anthony'. Scenes from Blood Meridian are inspired by the violence of certain scenes in the Temptation.

He was a massively talented genius writer. I think you were forced to learn and appreciate literature and any work that is administered in an academic setting loses its charm.

Denigrating Greek literature is incredibly dismissive. Some of the passages of the Illiad (the description of the shield of Achilles or the scenes of Hectors fear of impending death). Or the Odyssey (the dog recognizing Odysseus) remain the some of the most evocative, tragic scenes of all liteature.

Literature reflects the age in which it is written. Simply declaring all social critique is useful between the 60s and 80s robs you of any undestanding of the past.

Madame Bovary is a savage social critique of insipid provincial life. You can feel the scorn and disdain dripping off the pages. Flaubert had opinions on his own characters and was without any empathy for them.

This entire comment is indicative of a tech bro who had a bad experience in public schooling.

Many of the classics are classics for a reason because time is the greatest sieve of quality or they are essential to understanding the Western cannon and by extension the entirety of Western thought.

I like Daniel Pennac and Nothomb but come on, they didn't move forward the beauty of the french language.

I used to be relativistic in arts just like your comment, then I read Dumas (Monte Cristo) and Hugo (1793, The Workers of the Sea) and my jaw dropped. Must read ! (French here too)

That said, I'd love if music video clips, video games, TV shows took more inspiration from literature and merge more the different mediums

But otherwise, we are stuck in the past, advising young readers to dive into things because of the inertia of their reputation rather than their real qualities

Agreed about inertia and conservatism, but still in France I notice we read lots of recent books too.

> Traditional keyword-based search mechanisms often rely on algorithms like TF-IDF, BM25, or comparable methods. While these techniques internally utilize vectors, they typically involve sparse vector representations. In these methods, the vectors are predominantly filled with zeros, containing a relatively small number of non-zero values. Those sparse vectors are theoretically high dimensional, definitely way higher than the dense vectors used in semantic search. However, since the majority of dimensions are usually zeros, we store them differently and just keep the non-zero dimensions.

Yeah Heap's Law is a bit of a bitch in these situations. Like you'll definitely make sure those vectors are 64 bit if you plan of indexing a proper large number of documents.

I'd also advise caution leaning too much into the vector interpretation of these algorithms, as it's largely viewed as a quaint historical artifact that was bit of a dead end (e.g. as in Croft, Metzler & Strohman 7.2.1)
>That’s not to say I’m blaming the homeless or those addicted to substances or dealing with mental Health problems. I’m not.

You probably should blame them. They let their personal problems collectively spiral out of control so badly that they became society's problem, and an entire city was degraded because of it. Blame can still be assigned to the pitiable.

Probably, but it's pretty poor UX if videos start super-choppy by default and slowly downscale to a playable resolution over several seconds. Having a good default is still important.

> Proper mitigations I think stem from proper design and threat modeling. Strong, reality-based statements like "this kills these vulnerabilities," or "this kills this CVE; it delays production of an exploit by one week." And also thorough testing by seasoned exploit writers. Anything else is relying on pure luck, superstition, and wishful thinking.

The comment seems to imply that "proper design and threat modeling" must stem from real-world CVE-s and proofs of concept. That seems to me like "if nobody heard it, the tree didn't fall" kind of thinking.

I'm sure OpenBSD developers have very good intuition on what could be used in a vulnerability, without having to write one themselves. And fortunately, they don't have a manager above them to whom they need to justify their billing hours.

It is not technically privacy issue if it "tells" about them, by having freedom to tell what it wants.

I really don't know where American ""progressives"" (they're sociopaths imo) got the idea that harm reduction and decriminalization involves just letting people rot (and shoot up) in the streets and just releasing people on no bail. That is not done in any of the places these people use as positive examples of the policy working.

This happened on such a scale that I can't help but wonder if the results as seen in Portland, Vancouver, Sf ... were the intention.
I've noticed this happening more frequently. It really ramped up about a month ago with the whole Sam Altman leaving Open AI situation and the articles that spawned. I wonder - is HN going to upgrade its infrastructure because of these outages?
True, but any competing operating system could just falsely report that it is running x86-64 and therefore trick YouTube into serving high-res content.

There would never be a site/post "les cent meilleurs livres de 2023" on a global discussion board such as this because by definition it would not be in English. There might be a "the best french books of 2023" post, although there wouldn't be, because French books simply don't exist in the anglosphere, but my point is precisely that the global conversation happens in English, the only word that ever reaches it is "book", and it's never about anything else than English books.

I appreciate your sharing and open mindedness.

It seems like some things don’t have perfect solutions and we are “stuck” picking which downsides we want to deal with.

It seems that if we want to be the most kind to druggies (not lock them up) it comes at the expense of the normies - people trying to live, work, raise families, run businesses, etc.

It seems that for the last few decades society decided that normies are fine and even privileged and therefore it’s fine to hurt them a little to benefit the “disadvantaged”. What I think we are seeing now that doubling down on druggies etc still doesn’t really help them (because frankly their problems are internal and a druggie by definition is in a baaaad place) while it also hurts the people trying to live a good life and who by the way pay for everything.

I do hope that people start to recognize this. We need to feel good making choices in favor of families over druggies, when we have to.

If you hate surveillance you have to vote for the hard left in America, I.e Bernie sanders or Ron wyden. Literally anyone else including trump supports mass surveillance (trump will oppose his personal surveillance because the spooks are coming for him, not because he doesn’t like US intelligence powers)

If you think voting for anyone else besides the progressive left will help you here, I have a bridge to sell you!

Trump wants the spooks to be fanatical loyal personally to him, and if he had it, he’d gleefully turn America into a police state

The Google Chrome team announced the deprecation plan for manifest V2. The transition was initially paused due to migration issues from manifest V2 to V3. In November 2023, the Chrome team released a new timeline [1]. All extensions should migrate to manifest V3 by June 2024.
Coditude[2] is providing a free service to assist with the migration from manifest V2 to V3. Major browsers like Firefox and Edge are also transitioning to manifest V3. As of now, Safari has not announced any plans regarding manifest V3 but most likely they will follow.

I'm guessing they're referring to the fact that typically when you use `GROUP BY` in SQL (aside from aggregate functions such as `ARRAY_AGG`), you're typically not returning a "group" of results, but a summary of the results in the group.
They're referring to the use of the trailing slash in examples like this:
<input type="text" inputmode="numeric" />

Such slashes were mandatory in XHTML for such elements but aren't a thing in HTML. They're also not invalid, the HTML validator says "Info: Trailing slash on void elements has no effect and interacts badly with unquoted attribute values."

I think it's also bad messaging (even though I agree with the overall sentiment as well) because "paying taxes" and "being productive" are sliding scales rather than binary. And a lot of people can and do extend the argument to prioritizing people who pay the most taxes or the right kind of taxes or are productive in the right way. In the context of who a city is "for", it often becomes about prioritizing people who own their dwelling over those who rent, even though renters certainly meet the threshold of contributing to a society and paying taxes.

It seems possible to both agree with the idea that it's bad if a city's downtown is full of homeless drug addicts while disagreeing with the idea of trying to sort city residents into worthy and not worthy.
We used to have a system in the uk where the addicts were prescribed drugs by government sponsored medics. It actually worked quite well, and you can give them a bonus if they get a productive job. Sadly that sort of stuff while effective at helping drug addicts tends to be an easy target for politicians wanting to be 'tough on drugs'. As well as getting addicts off the street and not killed it means less money for drug dealers so the whole thing dwindles.
Gotta be fair about it. There's plenty of reasons to hate Google but this doesn't seem like one of them.

That sounds very short sighted. You are preconditioned on all of your ancestors having kids. Everything you like, love, care about was created by someone who was first created by their parents. If not for those people there would be nothing.

Raising children is the greatest, riskiest, and costliest contribution to the world most of us can make. It should be respected.
If you define a market small enough literally everyone is a monopoly and preventing competition. Apple has competition from other Android manufacturers. This is like complaining that Walmart has a monopoly on who can put shelves up in their stores. If Apple and/or Google were preventing other Smartphone OSs from getting developed or used, by abusing a monopoly position, then this could be considered a monopoly. But that is not what these cases are about. It's almost literally the shelves in walmart example
So what exactly did they do that was their one step too far, was it just the tolerance of the drug users?

Is it possible to decriminalise, yet also make it undesirable, or socially unacceptable?

As an outsider, the increase in drug use does not appear to be helping your countries mental health.
The one that really surprised me for some reason was PCB manufacturing. The Strange Parts YouTube channel has a few tours of Chinese factories, and I guess I pictured that it's just some sort of giant clean room with a long conveyor belt that goes through all the processes on its own. So I was not expecting it to start with grabbing a blank PCB from a pile stored outside and taking a band saw to it. Such a mix of high-tech automation and human hands picking things up, racking them on the table, and sticking them into the next machine.
Start with a good canonical reference: a textbook, a college syllabus (though these are getting harder to find), an encyclopedia article. Look at the references.

Even if you're looking for recent material, those references should be useful as principle studies or background will itself be referenced in more recent research.

Citation counts themselves are at best a highly uneven quality indicator. The real test of research is replication: a study turns up phenomena which are independently validated by other researchers. This of course takes time.

Good current research tends to come from teams and institutions which have produced substantive work in the past. So the references / citations approach I'd opened with should also give you names of individual researchers and/or institutions which have had high-impact work in the field Their more recent work will likely also be of interest. This approach will tend to underrepresent novel work from new teams ... but that work is also often less likely to be significant or robust.

If you're a practitioner in the field yourself, and have the equipment / means to test findings, validating results yourself is another option. Mind the various biases which can come into play here.

I had no problem understanding the grandparent's comment. Adding an intermediate layer into elections is a well-known method to introduce bias. If you control the way the vote is partitioned or aggregated, it's easy to rig the output. Two examples in the recent US history: the gerrymandering tradition, and the president that was elected with less votes than his opponent.

By the way, I wondered a bit if there was sarcasm in "I don't think there is a debate to be had that modern elections are using an optimal process." Which kind of modern election? The USA have a plethora of systems, and so do many countries. And some organisations have innovative vote systems, like Debian and its Condorcet method.

Wonder how many more decades we'll pretend the TSA, or any other federal agency like it has anything to do with safety at all.

It is all a pretense for behavior control, to have a precleared, approved, and unquestioned method to shut down "trouble makers", dissent, or other things the government finds more complicated to control unless they have tools created to prevent "terror"...

How else can they easily track who went to the political protest unless you your required to scan your face as you board the plan to go... How else can they shut down otherwise legal activity under the guise of security with out the terror back drop

TSA is not about stopping terror, TSA is the terror
