How, pray tell, are you getting rugpulled with say Intercoin’s blockchain applications?
If they ever do this, it’ll probably take the form of a proprietary userspace FS interface that will only work through Finder and will require the binary to be downloaded from the Mac App Store or otherwise signed by Apple. Every dev that wants to use it will have to pay Apple for the privilege.

But maybe I’m just being cynical.
Which begs the question, how do they know that it was vaccine induced blood clots and not covid or any other possible cause of blood clots?

Since at the same time mass vaccination rolled out, essentially all lockdowns were lifted and at least speaking for myself, that is when I caught Covid (and got sick in general again, no colds for almost two years was nice).

Putting industrial far away from your residential is a classic mistake that causes all kinds of traffic problems, but also the industrial in a real city is going to mostly be relatively innocuous. It’ll be car dealerships, car repair, machine shops, furniture making, data centers, warehouses, etc, etc. In Sim City industrial was always giant factories with belching smokestacks, steel foundries, chemical plants, coal gas, and so on.
It just doesn’t make sense that a people who experienced ethnic cleansing would turn around and have a go at it. I just. Don’t. Get it.
Your comment suggests rank and file had power to shut it down (they didn't: it was the public scrutiny), or that it was shut down in response to happening a decade before it was shut down.

if it brought benefit to society (at large), why doesn't said society pay for the benefit?

Why isn't there an opensource funding model from society, except for trivial donations that don't move the needle?

Real world is not a theorem.

There is already a near perfect language for JS.

It’s called Typescript.

Youd make a much more good for the world if you improve it, fix few issues etc.
I stopped being a Prime member after losing the student status. Guess what -- I discovered that I really don't need it. Most of the time I don't need items delivered in two days, so I can plan ahead and bundle them in an order that exceeds minimum free shipping threshold. These days I order from Amazon barely more than once a month and I am not missing out on anything.
Running something off the USB port on our ISP router would be pretty awesome. Currently using AdGuard DNS and it works pretty well in a set and forget kind of way. I have an ancient Android media stick that might be fun to try to install this on.

One of the Flutter primary devs just left Google and is still working on Flutter at his new gig.

That's a good sign that it's getting some momentum outside fo Google.

(I agree with you, though. Sadly, the Flutter management team seems to be where Google sends shitty managers for punishment.)

In a different post, someone mentioned that livestock lost to wolves receive compensation. Is it the same for mountain lions? That seems like an excellent way to reduce requests for "depredation permit". (LOL: What a term!)

Another theoretical fantasy that has nothing to do with real world.

In real world we do have null and undefined values. It is artificial and redundant to pretend that there isn’t.
Here are a few things that could be corrected or added.

Corrections:

* These URLs aren't public - you can only see them if you're logged in as $name:

https://news.ycombinator.com/vouched?id=[name]

https://news.ycombinator.com/flagged?id=[name]

* > Moderators occasionally unkill such threads if they see it in time, although it rarely sticks

Moderators sometimes turn off the flags on posts like this, in which case the thread will usually stay on the front page.

* > Hacker News allows users to see what the front page looks like at any point in time

This wording makes me squeamish because the /front pages don't show what the front page looked like at any point in time - they're a blended average of the frontpage stories from a particular day. At no point did the front page actually look like that, but that's because you can't get a 24 hour view from any particular snapshot.

Additions:

* /next (or /prev) link on comments jumps to the next (or previous) comment at the same nesting level

* /root links (on item pages) jump to the top-level GP comment (this may be renamed to /top in the future)

* /context on a comment (when not on the original /item page) links to the comment in its place on the original /item page

* in the RSS section, could include: https://news.ycombinator.com/bigrss maps the frontpage and up to 9 pages after that

* HN's software auto-edits titles to make them less linkbaity, but if it gets the edit wrong, you can change it after you submit (per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38775366)

* the bookmarklet could probably be added, per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38778787

Also, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38779156 because that's another undocumented aspect. How to sum it up in a sentence? Maybe: "If you only use HN to submit your own stuff, the software will eventually start filtering your submissions." But then I need a second sentence: "It's fine to submit your own stuff, but it should be part of a diverse mix of unrelated/interesting things."
> car repair, machine shops, furniture making

None of which is really unbearable to live somewhat near to (unlike heavy industrial, they do shut down at night), but they're often pretty locally polluting. Brake dust, metal shavings, wood finishes with VOC's, paints, and then all sorts of chemicals used as solvents for cleaning, rust removers, etc.
I think that has to be decided by jury/judge.
>We need a good balance between pirates and merchants.

I disagree.

We need sensible copyright terms of certainly no more than the patent terms (20 years) and probably a default of half-that.

We need to remove closed distribution if we want market forces to act -- by which I mean all distribution services can offer a work (maybe after 1 or 2 years of exclusive use) provided they pay the copyright holder the fee set.

No copyright unless a work can enter the public domain. So, creators need to deposit DRM free copies, or have no DRM. Sellers need to ensure games have server code available, or no copyright.

We don't need to support copyright infringement, we need to be serious about the public domain and ensure the system works for the demos.

These are of course my own views, independent of my employment.
You are correct, training sorely in fp16/bf16 can lead to imprecise weight updates or even gradients turning to zero. Because of that, mixed precision is used. In mixed precision training, we keep a copy of the weights in fp32 (master model) and the training loop looks like this:
compute the output with the fp16 model, then the loss
-> back-propagate the gradients in half-precision
-> copy the gradients in fp32 precision
-> do the update on the master model (in fp32 precision)
-> copy the master model in the fp16 model.
We also do loss scaling which means multiplying the output of the loss function by some scalar number before backprop (necessary in fp16 but not required in bf16).

Check out the fastai docs for more details: https://docs.fast.ai/callback.fp16.html
And those "you need to start watching the movie within 5 days after renting it and must finish within 2 days". Might as well bring those DVD rentals back.

no, i mean, you could support things like sparc and arm set-low/set-high instructions just by having a relocation type with arguments, say, 16, 31, and 9, meaning 'bits 16:31 of the constant should be stored in the bitfield starting at bit 9', and that almost works for risc-v auipc, lui, addi, and jr, too, even though the bit fields are split into tiny scrambled pieces in whatever position was most convenient for the chip they were working on at the time. but that means that your stencil linker has to interpret those 16, 31, and 9 numbers as it's generating the code, which is slow. but it doesn't help with the problem of risc-v's sign-extension of the 12-bit immediate in addi. also, now that i think about it, it isn't really sufficient for pc-relative addressing, because for that you need to propagate borrow bits through the scrambled bit fields

i don't think the distinction is pedantic between a compiler that needs custom code for each new machine instruction encoding and one which can support a new architecture just by giving it a data file (for some reasonable set of new architectures, anyway). the paper claims that their system is the latter, and i don't believe it
Yup it's a duopoly when it comes to marketplaces, and there's a strong argument to be made that Apple is a monopoly on the phone market as a whole. In many countries iPhones account for 50% or more of the phone market. Where as no company making Android devices controls 50% of the phone market, at least not in the west.
Vision Pro bombs. Too complicated to use and full of bugs.
ads have two functions: to drive more traffic, and to preserve mindshare for existing brands. Coke is not buying ads because you don't know what Coke is, Coke is buying ads so that Pepsi or somebody else's ad doesn't take your mindshare away.
I agree. I have not been through it, myself (crosses self), but I live on Long Island, which means that I have watched a lot of people go through it.

Most recover nearly completely, but they all suffer some permanent effects, like sun sensitivity, hair loss, digestive problems, anemia, weakened immune system, etc.
The current status quo system, sure, but it's passion of scientists, researchers, biologists who inevitably make discoveries - it's the industrial complex and those wanting to control, mainly for profits sake, that has changed the way it worked and solutions were found early on.

From what I remember the internal pressure was pretty intense, that the story about employees being against it is what the press covered and what caused the public scrutiny.

Mistral-7B OpenOrca is a good model to start with - https://huggingface.co/Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca

See this example on how to run this model: https://neuml.hashnode.dev/build-rag-pipelines-with-txtai. Plenty of other models (https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderb...) that may work better depending on the use case.

> Finding parts to handle 12V or even 20V is pretty trivial, but at 48V you're going to have serious trouble sourcing it at a reasonable price.

I don't buy this at all. 48V and 96V are standard telecom DC voltages. Those parts already exist.

If anything, this would be a big boon as it would enable using both telecom and consumer parts interchangably (thus increasing volume on both).
It took off because people don't want to pay for things if they don't have to, and the rest is mostly rationalization and retconning.
Plenty of mixed zoning in New Orleans. Unsurprisingly for a French-founded city, the older areas (not just the French Quarter) use the traditional shops-on-ground-floor-living-quarters-above method. And they have a lot of small commercial streets within their neighborhoods, which are demarcated more by the larger divided streets (many of which had streetcar lines running down the space between - in most places, it's the "median", but in NO, it's the "neutral ground". No, I have no idea why they call it that - never lived there but go quite often).
As if Apple was some government provided service that you are entitled to because you pay taxes. It's not. It's a for-profit company of which you are not a board member. If you want F-droid, use Android. If you want App Store, use iPhone. If you want both at the same time, well, buy both phones then. People who want a Ferrari and a minivan don't ask Ferrari to make minivans, they buy both, because both together is ridiculous.
Supposing each conversion is 90% efficient, you're looking at 65.6% overall. If your server is around 300W, running 24/7 (which is what mine was before my power-reduction project), you're looking at 17kWh of waste/wk. That's quite a lot. Even if you go up to 95% it's still 13kWh...

Actually, consumer preferences around food is based on marketing and availability. Most of the food people eat today changed after WW2, due to changes in the food distribution chain, and the forces of advertising. We don't eat much of what we did 100 years ago. People today buy what's in the grocery store, and what's in the grocery store is there based on what sells, which is based on what a given industry has convinced us to buy and what can be shipped to us for cheap without going bad. Some foods are a local specialty or tradition, but most are less than a century old.

It's equally likely that the chestnut's availability in Southern Ontario is merely a byproduct of being easy to store and ship a nut all over the Americas. Grocery store owners may offer it merely because they want to provide a variety of nuts, with almost nobody buying them. Grocery stores often stock items that don't make them any money and are rarely bought, because it contributes to the consumer interest in supermarkets that "have everything", even if consumers only typically purchase 5% of the selection in the store.
There are tampermonkey script(s) and ublock filter scripts that swap out the advert video with the live broadcast video (but in low res) - i have lived with that for now, esp. since i watch esports on twitch, and it sucks that i would have missed key moments of a game when an ad plays during it!

There's several ones listed here : https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions

I use the scripts (https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions#scripts) instead of the proxy solution, as i dont want to rely on a third party server to be working.
Yeah it'd be a real shame if someone were able to intercept the unencrypted traffic. They'd be able to read all the articles!

Thoughts on Improving SqueakJS Performance
The zoning makes a lot of sense. The place where white people live is zoned to have nice, single-family houses with a huge yard that takes up a ton of space and is given outsized say in local politics. The place where black people live is zoned to be as underfunded and crowded as possible on the other side of the highway.

Mission accomplished for the local governments who decided how zoning should work.
It sounds like you grew up lower middle class.

Poverty is never "do I buy a washing machine or buy something else" it's "can I afford to go to the laundromat this month".

Do you mean that there are licenses that prevent SaaS/PaaS/IaaS usage? Because "cloud" is a bit of a nebulous (sorry!) term. If Amazon is running it on physical tin, in their own DCs (even the same tin and DCs as their cloud services) is that "cloud usage"?
What would you want more of our of that map? It looks like a lot of zoning maps I have seen but I can't think of any way to improve them other than consistency and a better viewing medium (not PDF)
:eyes: Did it actually keep all existing apps? I ask because I've seen a similar feature in the past that said it would keep apps after a fresh install, but only apps downloaded through the Microsoft Store. Which for me works out to... one, maybe two total. It'd be great to do a fresh install without removing all the others!
Can you point me to docs for ZFS offering a nocow mode? I haven't used it in about a decade, but i can't see how that would work - wafl/cow is a pretty fundamental invariant in everything ZFS does

It’s not ecologically complex, it’s socially complex. Flat out steamrolling the ranchers just because you can is foolish, and will create generations of simmering resentment. Actual governance involves hearing and recognizing their concerns and, where appropriate, addressing them as possible.
Conveniently, the membership renewal reminder checkbox in the settings is unchecked - aka, you don't get a reminder before the trial automatically renews to a paid one.
A lot of these DMCA agents for hire come from the porn industry. Our company has been attacked by Eric Green [1] with baseless defective DMCA notices (including notices to the ISP), to which we have not responded. Our legal counsel (a renown copyright lawyer) advised not respond, because the notices were defective (baseless). He pointed out however, that his cowboy background comes from the porn industry, that he expanded into other areas. The problem is that the copyright law doesn't provide for an adequate punishment for unscrupulous DMCA notices.
