Wow. That’s a history I didn’t know about. Thank you.

Edit: I wonder if it would be more cost effective to put collars on the few hundred wolves we are talking about and near some kind of near field rfid style trigger on protected species. We could just trigger them on USDA tags maybe? Anyone tried this?

Wolf collars imply throat kills which is my understanding of how wolves kill and we already use 15 digit USDA approved ear tags on most animals.

I mean this is a social conditioning program so it could make sense as you wouldn’t have to keep it up forever or completely just enough to change pack behaviors perhaps. It’s the same model skunks use and they’re fairly effective at deterring predators.

You could also cost effectively rfid chip the wolves one time and put lower cost proximity deterrence on prey animals inside the range. This isn’t expensive stuff to implement and many of these animals are already being tagged or monitored by programs.

A blacklist for wolve rfid seems very doable. We could figure out problem wolves that actually need to be removed if we had active data instead of blanket population thinning. That’d probably go a long way towards increasing popular support for ranchers too.

Found a study that shows double digit reduction of predation levels with just a hard collar:

Also found a government program already doing this for coyote:

So it seems like adding reactivity to this idea could really work.

Why I aren’t we having a larger conversation here around this wolf reintroduction?
Seems harder to under report a disease like cancer than conditions or diseases that exist more on a spectrum and are lived with.
Seems to be missing comment vote manipulation. Users can see the number of votes their own comments get but can't see the number of votes other comments get, or even if their vote changes the vote count on a comment, which allows shadowbanning of unwanted comments by vote count alteration by mods/admins.
Also in the US at least residential power is way more than commercial power, so at some point (much earlier than you’d think) you stop saving money on rack space rent.
At Amazon scale that last x% is a multi-decade problem and still going. It’s intractable full stop.

It's not. The CS-2 they claim can do 23kW peak. The voltage is very low. If 23kW and 20kA is right, it's a 1.15V core voltage, which is pretty normal these days.

For comparison, one of the workstation AMD EPYC processors uses ~400W under peak load, and would use approximately ~320A peak current. It's only ~30x more current... modern CPUs use an enormous amount of current these days.
Are electric bikes fully legal where you are? Limited tryout areas are dotted around my country. Expect fatal and semi-fatal incidents to follow exponentially; before helmets, fines, and licences catch up.
That's completely wrong. It could refer to a diet, a philosophy, or both.

I want something which knows my reading level and populates the margins of A Midsummer Night's Dream with explanations for everything in Shakespeare which is obscure to me.

Likewise it should summarize popular science articles and look at the relevant research papers for the intuition that is being explored.

I don't need something which just extrapolates what is obvious to me.
I’ve been using C++ since the late 80’s and for the last 15+ years it’s been reluctant and only due to the projects I’ve worked on and the people I’ve worked with.

I’d love to be in a position to work on a new project using Rust or Haskell instead.
It’s an alternative for the “do not touch any plugin” crowd, which I would assume is the majority of Obsidian users. It’s not a replacement for the “install all the plugins” long tail, sure.

For my use I considered both and honestly Zettlr is not that far behind. Decent Zotero interoperability would have sold it for me.
I actually really hate this feature. The landscape has changed and I've been seriously contemplating asking @dang to nuke my account.
I read this on mobile and it felt pretty tedious. I wonder if maybe some minimal HTML could make the paragraphs reflow properly while still looking like a manpage everywhere.
Personally I'd be happy if raising livestock was banned, so inconveniencing ranchers doesn't seem like a problem.
Joplin uses SQLite DB to store data, not markdown files. Moreover, you can't even change the directory where this database is stored, which is pretty funny for an open source application. Also, there are no internal linking and knowledge graphs in there. Also, there are UI/UX issues, for example annoying modal windows about updates can pop up at inopportune moments. But it should be noted that web clipper is quite usable. But it is not rocket science to make a web clipper. Obsidian is an app of a higher level of quality and usability.
That’s a great example to raise, and I think you’re right to point it out.

Any field is susceptible to cargo-culting, especially ppl who are just trying to get their job done so they focus on having to rediscover everything their leaders are claiming to have verified.

But for the specific claim you’re challenging, it’s hard to really convey the realities without having some experience in those problems.

High level it really comes down to:

1. Relaxing some generic constraints to apply game specific ones

2. Fine grained control over execution, again by relaxing some constraints

3. Game programming can play fast and loose with a lot of things for the sake of speed; this is not generalizable
For many labs, there are no resources, time, or ability to rerun every bit of data collection that happens. When I was in academia, our lab had a hard enough time recruiting participants (we were a cog neuro lab) and our experiments were several hours long per participant with enough individual variation to be useless without several months of data collection and analysis to find any sort of signal in the noisy data. And that’s a single lab, with PIs overseeing several and collaborating with even more, an element of trust is going to be needed if anything is to ever get done.
I remember in New Zealand there was a internet magazine from Australia which used to list a bunch of sites and a small description in different sections of the magazines (1997?)

It started off clean, then a couple of months later it had a small 'adult' section, and then each month after that the 'adult' section got bigger and bigger that the magazine got reclassified as a adult mag. (I never brought this mag)

I've never read byte in dead tree format but read it online at archive.org and am really grateful to the person(s) who have scanned it and uploaded it. The quality of articles are amazing and it's understandable how the early era of home microcomputers grew like wildfire, or was it all the low hanging fruit that Brian Kernighan talks about.

My biggest regret was buying Amiga Power (games) magazine as a kid in the early 90s instead of Amiga Format/CU Amiga, as the latter had assembler, AmigaE and music tracker tutorials.

Also there is some US website by a Ham Radio guy which also has a bunch of scans on it of early US publications which are great to read
I cycle everywhere whenever the weather allows, and I regularly bike outwards during the weekends. I've also gone on a few multi-day bike trips. I take it with me on road trips.

And yet, I've been riding the same 100€ bike for 8 years.

This summer, I splurged on the perfect all-rounder for my needs: drop bars, disk brakes, Alfine 11 in-hub gear and belt drive. The difference is night and day. I wish I did it sooner.

I tell everyone who moved to Berlin that a bike is the best investment they can make here. This city and its surroundings are meant to be discovered on a bike.
It's unfortunate that most programmers only experience with make is automake/autoconf. This is fantastic.
> I thought it was alarming when insurers started purchasing hospitals, urgent care facilities and even your standard family med doc

I am skeptical of that conclusion. Kaiser Permanente gets good results, and they are an HMO: the very definition of an insurer owning the hospital/urgent care/family doc.
His mistake is treating it as a low-level language. C++ can be as low-level as you need it to be, but most of the time, no matter what you are doing, you don't need it to be.
Rent seeking implies using laws or market power to profit without providing any value. Depending upon your assets and investments, you may well be providing value to companies and society.
I disagree strongly with your reading of those results. Each says that the "ultimate truth" is complicated -- that not every question has an easy answer. That doesn't say there isn't an ultimate truth, just "that question cannot be answered" is the ultimate truth. Exploring the bounds of knowability is incredibly important to the dual side of science; exploring the bounds of knowledge. In my lofty opinion, the very purpose of humanity is to bring these bounds together.

Most of it. The water pump and other stuff consumes probably less than 500W total. There's some efficiency loss in the actual power converters, but they're likely designed to be >95% efficient (probably >98%), otherwise cooling them would be a nightmare.
If you want to write less makefile, you don't need to define foo. `foo` is an implicit target if foo.c is present.

You can use make in this form without a makefile even:

~ % echo '#include <stdio.h>\nvoid main() { printf("OHAI\\n"); }' > ohai.c
~ % make CFLAGS=-DDEFINE_ME_A_MAKEFILE ohai
cc -DDEFINE_ME_A_MAKEFILE ohai.c -o ohai
~ % ./ohai
OHAI
>Framing it as "rural" vs "urban" sets up a dichotomy, which human minds frequently simplify as a 50/50 split. But only 13% of Colorado residents live in rural areas.

The US is not governed by simple majorities of the overall population. We have things like the house of reps for a reason. Land matters. If the 75% of Americans who live in urban areas were able to completely dictate terms to the other 25%, the union would have (and almost did) dissolve long ago.
They can get surprisingly cheap in some areas, mainly if it’s mostly land and not many buildings (and perhaps no workers).

In my text editor (https://github.com/alefore/edge) I use a balanced binary tree containing small chunks (std::vector) of contiguous lines.

That works well enough for me: https://asciinema.org/a/314752

This requires loading the entire file into memory, but computers are so fast today that optimizing that away is pointless IMO (as the video shows, a 12MB file with 400k lines can be loaded/edited/saved reasonably).

The tree structure is implemented as a generic container here: https://github.com/alefore/edge/blob/master/src/language/con.... The tree is actually deeply immutable; each modification operation returns a new tree (where most contents are shared with the original tree). The leafs contain std::vectors that hold between 128 and 256 lines (save for a few cases). The actual specialization that holds a sequence of lines is LineSequence::Lines here: https://github.com/alefore/edge/blob/master/src/language/tex...

Those billionaires own ranches, for sure. Maybe even a lot of ranch land by area? But most ranches? Seems unlikely to me.
Really? I imagine datacenters are not reaching powers anywhere near those of e.g. arc furnaces.
Microsoft lancia silenziosamente l’app Copilot per Android

Microsoft ha recentemente introdotto sul mercato un’applicazione rivoluzionaria: Copilot per Android. Senza clamore mediatico, questa nuova app offre agli utenti un’esperienza avanzata con un assistente alimentato da intelligenza artificiale.

Scoperta per la prima volta da @technosarusrex su X (ex Twitter), l’app Copilot è disponibile per il download sul Google Play Store da circa una settimana. Sebbene possa sembrare simile alla già esistente Bing Chat app, Copilot offre una vasta gamma di funzionalità. È integrato con Microsoft Edge per Android, SwiftKey, Skype e altri servizi.

Quest’app per Android è dotata di diverse funzioni già presenti sulla versione desktop. Gli utenti possono porre domande complesse, generare immagini utilizzando DALL-E 3, redigere documenti o e-mail e persino avere conversazioni informali su vari argomenti. Inoltre, offre la possibilità di attivare o disattivare il recentemente introdotto GPT-4.

Il testo descrittivo di Microsoft per l’app afferma: “Migliora la tua produttività con Copilot – Il tuo assistente chat alimentato da intelligenza artificiale. Copilot è un assistente chat all’avanguardia di Microsoft alimentato dai più recenti modelli OpenAI, GPT-4 e DALL-E 3. Queste tecnologie avanzate di intelligenza artificiale forniscono risposte rapide, complesse e precise, nonché la capacità di creare immagini mozzafiato da semplici descrizioni testuali. Chatta e crea tutto in un unico posto, gratuitamente!”

Al momento, l’app Copilot è esclusivamente disponibile su Android. Tuttavia, gli utenti iOS possono accedere alle stesse funzionalità tramite l’app Bing, scaricabile dall’App Store. Se possiedi uno smartphone Android e desideri sperimentare le funzionalità innovative di Copilot, puoi scaricarla gratuitamente dal Google Play Store.
If you are a beginner, I highly recommend you start with Helix ( https://helix-editor.com/ ).

It is a modal editor just like vi/vim/neovim, but way better/easier/sensible/helpful than its much older ancestors, especially for new learners. Even if you will later on decide to switch to something like neovim, this switch is going to be a relative piece of cake, after you had experience and understood the basic idea behind modal editing, compared to trying to go vim cold turkey.

According to my experience the vast majority of "vim beginners" actually already have a significant amount of experience with vim; it's just that the experience was negative, they didn't get far and were overwhelmed, unfoundly blaiming themselves and their own stupidity, hoping that all they are missing is a good tutorial. No, it's not you. It's the editor itself, build in 70s with the ideas, UI, hotkeys that are inapropriate for the current time. There is a much better way for modern times.

Install Helix, run it and type ':tutor' to access the tutorial. After that you will be ready to go.

Um, no? That's not what I want when I search.

On the other end of the spectrum, try Digikey:

Functional, well-tagged, data-driven parametric search. Rockauto.com sells auto parts, which requires a whole different type of search, but they deliver a pretty impressive product as well.

I suspect that much of this discrepancy is because there's enough of a chance that someone grocery shopping and looking for lentils will think "Oh, I need pancake mix too" and click on the ad. Meanwhile, someone looking for a specific grade of M8x25 socket-head cap screws or a low-power Cortex-M0 microcontroller with a particular set of peripherals is unlikely to abandon their work to add a hose clamp or electrolytic capacitor to their cart instead.

Market forces seem incapable of delivering a product with a better user experience if that hurts the bottom line even a little bit, they're doing gradient descent to local minima and powerless to say "no" to finance and climb out of the awful product that results.
If you're going to run an electric space heater anyway, might as well do some mining instead. :P
If stdout is going to a terminal (i.e., it hasn't been redirected to a file), then the standard library will by default flush on every '\n' anyway. Similarly for C with fputs, etc.

In C you control this with setvbuf, and of course, in C++ with iostreams it's a huge mess of rdbuf spaghetti and probably involving std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio as well.

When working with code with multiline macros, or complex templates, it is impossible to understand some errors. OP is gold right in that. C++ is so complicated, it is just impossible to make an efficient compiler that gives goos error messages.
Also having to ignore the pages after one error, to me, is a shittines indicator.
Discussion from 5 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16437973

Nice to see that some of the suggestions from there, like listing the hidden URLS (/leaders, etc.) seem to have been implemented.
I can confirm that there is indeed a market for (unprinted) models, just like there is a market for print-to-order parts. The market works such that you pay for the right to print the model even if the model as such has one license or another.

Check markets like Fantasy, role-playing, games, if in doubt
"C with classes" is a recipe for bugs and unpleasant coding. Lean into modern C++, and your correct, performant code comes easily.
I guess, but without a good native sync, there's no way that less tech-savvy people will use it.

Personally, I wouldn't mind paying a small fee for a great note-taking app, but I would like to be able to share some notes with my mom and with my partner. But they wouldn't want to pay for it, as they wouldn't use the app as much.

> Consoles consume >100 watts under load with correspondingly higher performance and are connected to televisions

Not handheld consoles. And you can connect phones to large screens if you want.

> They don't play the same games.

Genshin impact and fortninte? They could play the same kind of games, they have weaker hardware so graphics wont be there true but they are still devices people play all kinds of games on.

> These are not the same market

Why not? Wasn't the original argument that these things are the same and therefore should be regulated the same? How do you differentiate "gaming console" from other computers?

People will only buy gaming consoles as long as they are better for gaming than phones are, since people already have smartphones. That means that game consoles always face heavy competition from phones and need to stay ahead of them to sell anything at all.
The glaring hole in the alternative you proposed has nothing to do with the existing system being well established.
The examples were about a keyword or two (“lentils”, “laundry detergent”, etc) and filters.
unspecified 900913 account issue.

> Fixing the problem is rather simple: remove the regulations, allow free market entry and competition again, and put the onus back on market participants to choose for themselves what's best for them and their own particular situations.

This is a statement that cannot be farther from the truth.

There is a great asymmetry of information and a high pressure situation that leads to difficulty in researching and deciding on the best choice. It is a system that, without regulation, leads to exploitation.

The regulations exist because of the abuses, because of the immoral behavior it caused without them.

The only motivation to remove them is a profit motive. Avarice at the sake of lives. It is not 'regulations' that are a problem, but the immoral avarice living at the heart of healthcare in the US.
That needs a two stage converter down to chip voltages, doesn't it?

It's a reduction in cables, but I wouldn't say drastic. An 8-pin with good components can handle over 500 watts at 12 volts. Just modernizing gives you most of the possible benefit.
In this instance, it appears the author's motivation was to facilitate a clean room reimplementation by "producing a natural-language specification for others to reimplement". In other instances security researchers might reverse firmware in order to find vulnerabilities. As the article states:

> One example motivating the production of open source firmware for the BCM5719 is that it's the only closed-source firmware blob found in the Talos II, a high-performance POWER9-based system otherwise wholly free of firmware blobs... Once this is delivered, it will be possible to use Raptor's POWER9 systems with purely 100% free, open source firmware. As far as I am aware, there is no other machine in the same performance class which can make such a claim.
And adds many other problems. No silver bullet.
Even if they did you wouldnt hear much about it. Openai is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I think there's an argument to be made if the hunting method extends into the state where it's illegal (sounds waves traveling) then you're in violation of that state, since the lil would not have happened if the hunting method didn't traverse state lines.
How so?

We have human societies that never moved past hunter/gatherer; or basic agriculture. Or perhaps reverted back.

Does that imply that they’re somehow less intelligent? And so, by an order of
magnitude?

I don’t expect anyone to change your mind—that much is clear—but for someone like me it’s an interesting question because it gets to the heart of what it means to be intelligent; aware; and driven.

Even the standard “man is the measure of all things” has more nuance than at first glance.
its `import std;`, without the angled brackets. Just make sure you are using the namespaced fixed integer types if you do :) else you still need `import std.compat` which is basically the c-headers

I genuinely don't understand what the point of bringing up copyright here is. Apart from a tiny handful of materials, even physical products rely on legal protections against counterfeits and knockoffs to be scarce. Why do we talk about software as if it's the first and only thing to be artificially scarce?

Creator here. I plan to support HTML rendering but I can't promise anything.

You can already point it to an image url with an image in the right resolution on the internet, and it will render that.

But for pointing it to an HTML page, you need a headless browser and that comes with a bunch of practical issues.
