One thing a friend of mine mentioned about studying, is that you can get in a weird cycle where you end up reinforcing answering incorrectly to a thing over and over.

I think that blitz reinforces my bad habits of approximate pattern matching and ultimately makes me play worse in my other games. If I want to "do it fast" I can just open my dailies and play them fast! But this is a me problem, I routinely play board games etc too quickly, and lose because of it. I do not need help with "do it fast".
Can I suggest you consider why you’re playing?

We are taught from a young age that winning is the objective of playing a game, but what if it wasn’t?

What if it was to learn some hidden truth, or to explore your own tendencies to over-react, to become too rash, to become overly-defensive or to be disappointed when things didn’t always go your way? What if you took each game as a learning opportunity?

If you take a different perspective, bots and AI can help you a great deal - they aren’t going to feel smug about beating you, or remind you of it over a family dinner, or brag about it on social media. They can help you improve your gameplay and yourself.

I’m reminded of this when I think of recent AI advances in Go. The moves and strategies that emerged have left that community in awe, because they were open to learning from what AI produced, not just obsessed with trying to win.
So you’re just making things up and expecting people to pretend that it’s some kind of serious analysis?
Freezing doesn’t. Freeze it! Bread is great freezer to toaster (don’t defrost!) try it!
Do you understand the purpose of hyperbole in prose?

When humans communicate, we don't use Backus-Naur form. We generally accept that people will be able to derive the meaning from context. Does the author literally believe that over 50% of the planet watched it? The claim is preposterous - and obviously so. But it is a convenient shorthand for referring to the impact on the cultural zeitgeist made by that show.

Anyway, QG was astonishingly popular. See https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/the-queens-gambit-most-p... and https://adage.com/article/media/golden-globe-winner-queens-g...
> it's a tough argument to say that further latency reduction still has any real positive offshoot

There’s an element of Feinman’s spinning, wobbling plates [1]. The problems one must solve to push latency ever lower have knock-on effects.

> whereas earlier you could say that tighter spreads and more liquidity helps other market participants

The guarantee of being nipped curtails entire classes of dirty behaviour. Chunking out an order is smart, but it wasn’t always done. HFT, in this model, serves an adversarial regulatory function.

We also have the basic fact that, in a Ricardian sense, folks are trading with that HFT shop over their slower competitors. At some infinitesimal level, the counterparty chose (and was delivered on) that preference.

I’m curious if this could one day be used to identify results or concepts that we haven’t yet discovered. It seems reasonable since it discovered things like gravity that we hadn’t identified until well past the classical era.

Maybe he's aware, and just doesn't care because the company has already made him miserable by 1) not having an "elsewhere" to take that lunch, and 2) putting his desk right next to the sales team.

Best tools to you deploy my model (serverless managed)?
Hi ! I am searching at different solutions to help me deploy an open source hugging face model. Would love to find something that is serverless with good management options (version control, policy management...). If it's open source it's even better. Thanks!
I was thinking something similar earlier.

I am huge fan of youtube and the incredible content and creators on the platform. If it was not owned by Google, I would probably happily pay 50 bucks a month for an ad-free and tracking-free experience.

But instead I've mostly left the platform. I don't want the company with eyes all over the internet to also know exactly what I watch and when. It's creepy to have a single company know exactly what you did/read/watched for most of your waking hours.
With an attack vector this significant, frequency matters less. Would you want to rely on a laptop if some third party (original owner) could reassign it to themselves?
Honestly, I don't understand what you're referring to: are you intentionally visiting websites "you hate" ? I mean, there are a lot of good websites out of here that aren't proposing an experience and that allows you to read text properly, no ?
Stephen Wolfram wrote it.
That's disanalogous to board games. We're comparing board games with uncertainty to board games without uncertainty. In either of these categories, the thing that makes AI competent is unlimited training data due to self-play.
That doesn't make American labor competitive at all, on the global market. It just props up labor prices domestically, so servers can get paid a fortune (in global terms) so they can afford a shitty overpriced apartment and a personal car, whereas servers in other countries just walk or bicycle to work and get inexpensive healthcare and don't need as much money to live. But no one is going to pay American labor rates for manufactured goods, unless it's for F35s. So in the end, most Americans are just working at bullshit jobs, and the whole economy is propped up by its currency being the reserve currency. That's not what I'd consider a good long-term strategy for your society.
So your dev team humiliated a random female employee for trying to provide good customer support...?

I've been playing chess since I was 6, and I'm 7 now.

You should learn endgame and tactics, the basics of opening and maybe a few openings. endgame will teach chess. openings teaches you openings. especially when you're a beginner people will make moves that don't make sense. Plus aren't there like over 4 or 5 quadrillion possible moves just within the first 10 moves?
The Single Responsibility Principle (2014)
I’m no expert, but this just looks like group theory applied in a very nonrigorous way.
A movie/tv show adaption of a book would be considered a derivative work. I could see that cutting into the sales of the source material, especially if it's bad.

Pokemon games are a great example of people buying it for the (copyrighted) characters, while the (not-copyrightable) gameplay constantly gets criticized. A game that copies the monster designs while improving on the gameplay would cut into sales. Other games inspired by Pokemon never have as good monster designs.
If I can use a data race to corrupt a jump target, I've done most of the work I need to for any classic memory-safety security vuln.

Go makes this much harder to do than C/C++, especially as it relates to e.g. mishandling user input, but not impossible, even without CGo or unsafe.
The only postgREST app I ever worked on was awful. Why? Because like most of these ‘simple’ frameworks it’s only simple until your requirements get complicated. Then the original authors had to resort to writing a ton of stored procedures on the database to get back the results they wanted and that led to scalability problems. The solution, as always, is go back to SQL.
Well, most of the websites that proposes an experience are often rather lacking information-wise, no ?

You describing it as ethnic cleansing is a form a propaganda and falsifiable pretty quickly.

That said, I agree that the EU would try to censor it. I am not in favor of giving them the opportunity. Making false statements is not a crime.
I always see noise cancelling headphones put forward as a solution to noisy office environments . . . I don't want to wear headphones. I don't want to be cut off in my own bubble. I want to be connected to my environment, and I want it to be a nice place to get my work done.

I don't think it is, but you havent really given me anything to present a counter argument against... i just dont think there is any abuse for me to minimize, if it wasnt clear from the sarcasm oozing off my previous comment
This. I'm about to build a dev team next year, and my co-founder is kinda disappointed that I want them all completely remote. He's the old-school "let's have a big office where we can all get together" and I'm "let's not and say we did".

I can see way down the line there'll be a problem with Engineering vs The Rest because we'll be remote and they'll be in an office. But tbh there is always a problem with Engineering vs The Rest regardless.

I want my devs to be able to switch Slack off, not answer emails, go for a walk in the park, and stare at the ceiling for hours while properly thinking about what they're building. Too much code is written in haste.
Sure, but that wasn't really my point; people were being branded as semi-psychopathic for littering, and I just wanted to point out that this is hugely influenced by social norms and such.

> I think there is also a policy view that taxes should not be hidden

I have never seen anywhere that advertised the tax rates at a store when I've visited the US.

Taxes being different, not baked in, and not advertised just makes the whole system appear random.
What you said makes a lot of sense. I agree that media is a great tool for opinion control.

When you call this a dichotomy between free speech and order, I feel like you're downplaying just how important that "order" can be. Consider Latvia, a minuscule ex soviet republic with a significant Russian speaking demographic: for them it's very visceraly about national security (as in preventing another 2016 Crimea from happening), as opposed to public order, corporate interests or whatever.

I grew up in the Soviet bloc. What's at play in the information space there is different than, say, in the US: the most geopolitically secure country (country slash continent) on Earth. I feel like the argument you're making would be much easier to make in the US.

Edit: by the way, I'd call a teacher an agent of authority, not state.
Redundancy is resiliency - wonder if there’s still enough error correction in the compressed language?
I agree. If I have a personal office I might as well sit at home.

I hate open office space as much as the next person, but small team rooms are great. Can have the walls plastered with post-its, screens, drawing boards etc. If I hear two coworkers discuss something, I can chip in if relevant. Information flow just happens by itself.
The only thing it doesn't meet, is that the things they stole are not copyrightable, because they came too early to be copyrighted.

They stole first, and then got protected by law.
For a 3d printer the distance between the print bed and the nozzle when printing the first layer is very important. If the distance is too big the print doesn't stick to the bed and you end up with spaghetti. If the distance is too small either not enough plastic comes out so your print doesn't stick; no plastic at all comes out so your print doesn't stick; or the nozzle digs into the printbed, damaging it.

Since the thickness of layers in a 3d print is around 0.1-0.3mm the margin for error is rather tight. Since no one is going to invest in precision ground printbeds you need to get that precision by some other method. One of those methods is to probe the bed height at various points before printing, and driving the Z-axis to correct for that during the print.

The linked tool can be used to visualize how nonflat your printbed is given a set of such probes. The default example seems to have a ±0.25mm error, which isn't amazing but should be usable with mesh leveling and not at all without.

Where I'm from calling someone "boy" is a racial epithet. Sounds so strange on HN.
Not really a fair representation of what happened to call that "blocking journalists". They basically blocked the IP that was brute-forcing them, which every normal security team would do. That real point of critique is that it took them a few hours to do so instead of doing that in an automated way after some number of guessing attempts.

In my country we have alot of male Ukranians who have come to escape conscription. The attitude they have to the war is not very romantic. One of the companies I contract for has developers in Ukraine who are constanly hiding from conscription (ie changing location within Ukraine) because leaving now is too risky. So I wonder how does a person who is engaged in the war effort (you do military tech research) see this

It is quite simple. There are no reserve requirements anymore.
The only way competition in this space can be described as "dead" with all the free-license models bouncing about is that there's only one model (or company with models) that's actually worth paying for.

That would be the one that MS invested in.

Well, for now at least. At some point one of those free models will best it.
It's not specific for Microsoft.
Right, but they definitely got more than several thousand dollars worth of advertising from the publicity.
Those are on the topic itself. We were arguing whether the discussion of the existence of censorship was being silenced or not.

Basically: did someone who said "I can't talk about X or I'll be silenced! there is censorship!" also get THAT opinion muted?

While it was off the topic of the original argument: was there censorship of the opinion that Covid existed in China in any countries with supposedly free speech?
They probably want to keep it alive, and provide you content as their day job.
The impressive ML is ML that’s part of daily life. Even as I tap on this iPhone’s keyboard, button regions (tappable, not visible) slightly change in size depending on what it predicts the next letter would be. No one calls this “AI” yet it’s the same tech, and arguably more beneficial for the society as a whole than “AI” as a dedicated commercial service purpose-built to launder copyrighted creative works for profit (which is what AI is in the eyes of an ordinary person these days).
Causal Reasoning with ChiRho
HTMX is not at fault here, the backend is.

Of course "you have to sanitize your inputs somehow", but this example does that exactly nowhere, i.e. it is exploitable. Having the tutorial omit this problem altogether is dangerous, as not discussing it might create the impression that PostgREST somehow already handles this, or that the toy example given here does not have a glaring security vulnerability. This is particularly problematic because the reason that the docs for many other backend frameworks also don't discuss the problem is that they do in fact already handle it (usually via a built-in templating language).

Steve acknowledged the problem in a sibling comment, so hopefully the next iteration of the tutorial will address this. (Thanks!)
Use of the phrase "pump out code" tells me you don't understand the problem and makes me wonder if you've ever programmed anything nontrivial yourself.
I was actually hiking up there in August. Absolutely surreal to see that now.

Robert C. Martin has also said that types are bad and that you “need balls to write C++”.

At this stage I’m just distrustful of anything he’s said or written, including these arbitrary design principles.

> Distribution of copied software on the other hand is very illegal, and is what most so-called "archivists" (including the Internet "Archive") run afoul.

Clearly libraries distribute copies of copyrighted works all the time -- it's kind of their whole purpose. Lending books.

Now suppose the library owns some VHS tapes and makes one DVD out of each tape, then lends out the DVDs to patrons instead of the tapes because the patrons have DVD players but not tape players. That seems like a reasonable thing for them to do. What can you cite that says that isn't fair use?
Are you able to confirm there isn’t a typo here? You’re 7?

I've accepted that I'm worse at chess than other people in some innate sense, but puzzles have been nice. I really enjoy the chess.com lessons as well, and listening to someone explain stuff is always pleasant. I might not absorb much, but it's better than nothing.
> Can't deal with the noise of an open plan office? Provide ANC headphones.

Company-issued PPE for hazardous offices?
Not to create too much of a political tangent, but the lack of private offices, or rather the ubiquitous mandatory nature of open offices, and its universal unpopularity with non-managers, is evidence imo that tech could use a union or professional association or guild or something.

Oh sure you can talk about high comp and career mobility. But where does all of the vaunted labor power of software engineers go when they ask for something as simple as a cubicle?
So much misinformation on the article and in the comments...

1) The academy doesn't make laws, they just make recommendations that anyone is free to follow or ignore.

2) there are laws regarding the amount of french-spoken media being broadcasted but nothing is said about which word is accepted or not you can use as much foreign slang as you want.

3) the academy does not make an official dictionary. There is no official dictionary. There are multiple private entities editing dictionaries. These companies have their own authority on what makes it in the dictionary.

3) the academy suggest new words when none exist in French to avoid using too many English ones. Again it's perfectly fine to ignore them if you don't like them. Some works (eg logiciel for software) some don't (eg courriel for email).

Other french speaking nations have their own academy and that's also fine. There are no academy wars lol.

I'm also surprised at the reactions regarding Quebecers. Most french people are delighted to hear that accent. It's very rare to hear it in France. We are mostly used to accents from north and sub-saharian African regions, or bordering neighbors.
When I fist heard it I couldn't help but say I loved their accent. In a genuine, wholesome way... It is sad that it's often taken the wrong way.
Maybe they took inspiration from Uber?
European SUVs aren't the same as the american ones. Lot of what are considered SUVs are much smaller (You can't compare a Peugeot 2008 to a F1500).
> You describing it as ethnic cleansing is a form a propaganda and falsifiable pretty quickly.

I'm genuinely confused as to how it could be seen in any other way? Entire family trees wiped out, civilians and doctors killed indiscriminately by dumb bombs, snipers and drones, deliberate targeting of journalists to hide their war crimes. Israeli politicians are now even coming out and saying it - they want to deport Palestinians from Gaza, then occupy and settle it. They're saying it out loud now, as if it wasn't clear already, and still people don't believe them.

> Making false statements is not a crime.

Correct, not a legal crime; though I'm sure many would agree that making false statements to "justify" an invasion and ethic cleansing is a moral crime against humanity.
I would disagree, tons of people out there develop backend code targeting Linux but do so on macOS machines.

That said, this was not a particular jab at your comment, more like a clarification for readers, as a lot of people are somehow under the belief that Docker for Mac involves no VM (the other belief being that containers themselves are somehow lightweight VMs)
We're always doing our jobs, even while we sleep! You can't switch off your brain (well I suppose you could try meditation).
Why is it scummy? Hiring people to produce goods or services and compensating them based on the value of their knowledge and abilities is sort of the entire value pitch of capitalism, and it's unlikely anyone would have moved over to Apple if the compensation wasn't more worthwhile to them.
There will never be anymore. AI simply outperforms humans at increasing rates. When in doubt, for a specific game a narrow AI can be trained up.

For the current 1-2 years you can have a shot at physical/sports games, since robots are lagging behind AI capabilities, quite a lot.
Judging by the comments here, nobody is doing pair programming / mob programming?

I've found playing against weaker bots you lose on the sort of human nature of weaker players. In particular humans tend to have a bit of an internal narrative, but weaker chess bots tend to just throw in shitty moves.

It's pretty well known that bots resort to cheating to win at stuff like Civ. I'm sure there's a patch out there that removes the cheating, and you can stomp on computers there.
