> What they meant was a given citizen.

No, that's not what they meant. The ruling itself is extremely explicit. And furthermore, that's how other courts have applied the ruling in the decades since.

It's simply factually incorrect to claim that the police have a legal duty to protect citizens simply because of a PR campaign that they launched, when there are volumes of case law that establish otherwise.
And it’s not just that, also they’re up to shit like this:

I'm grateful for my family, for my Mom, for the peace we're in. I'm grateful that I have the means to work out, to read books I want to read, and to rest when I need to. It's an incredible privilege. May you all be blessed abundantly.

I'm grateful for Hacker News. I'm not that vocal here, but I've lost count of the times HN has become my oasis of peace, no matter how fleetingly, in the periods of high pressure and stress in 2023.
Are you serious? lol

Maybe let’s start with the basic one that’s abortion?

How do you feel about the lateset Rasmussen poll?

"21 percent of mail-in voters admitted they filled out a ballot for a friend or family member; 19 percent of mail-in voters admitted that a friend or family member filled out a ballot on their behalf; 17 percent of mail-in voters admitted they voted in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident; and 17 percent of mail-in voters said they signed a ballot for a friend or family member with or without his or her permission."

Little loitering munitions like Switchblade don't have the range to be usefully fired from a sub; which wants to be hiding in deep water. Bigger UCAVs like Shahed or Bayraktar are essentially small ground-attack planes and behave like one, so if you're launching them from a sub what you're really making is a submarine aircraft carrier. All the evidence suggests that nobody wants a submarine aircraft carrier.

Take Bayraktar and try to fit it into a VLS cell so a sub can launch one: you first have to make the wings smaller because that wide lifting body won't fold up into the allowed diameter. But now that you've made the wings smaller, its optimal cruising speed is going to be higher, but you can't add a second engine or make the existing one bigger, so that means replacing the prop engine with a turbofan. And you've just designed Tomahawk.

Is this related to X/Twitter? I don't understand the relation.
It's indeed pointless, because it is a lie, always was a lie and continues being a lie. Naming the names of some of the far-left groups doesn't make it less of a lie. Arabs in Israel are integrated, have representation in the Knesset and full legal, electoral and all other rights. Talking about "apartheid" is nonsense, which is obvious to anybody who knows what this word means and what legal policies actually exist in Israel.
Thanks! What's your preferred installation/setup? I started with docker for simplicity/ubiquity, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. The API server in particular can be a bit challenging to set up properly, but if I know what folks are looking for I can try to provide some guidance!
It's funny how the author complains that he has to pay 15% taxes in Romania. In Germany you have to pay ~50% for taxes and different duties and all expenses are much higher than in Romania. Also German tax authorities are known for "torturing" self-employed people with different types of requests. So when I worked as freelancer in Germany I voluntarily abstained from possible tax reductions via expenses, because German tax authorities will make your life a hell to force you pay as much taxes as possible.

especially enraging to me:

> To cover debt incurred due to high natural gas prices, utilities outside Texas have had to raise prices. Oklahoma Natural Gas is charging customers up to $7.80 per month for the next 25 years to securitize its costs of $1.4 billion during the crisis.[133] The natural gas industry reaped a windfall profit of $11 billion during the crisis.[22] Texas gas utilities were permitted by the Railroad Commission to issue bonds to cover what they paid to suppliers, to be paid off by customers. Municipal gas companies have also added surcharges to bills
Most people who need assembly are going to want to only write assembly-embedded-in-C, and learn the GCC constraint specifiers. This of course assumes that there aren't sufficient intrinsics (these days, there are a lot of intrinsics exposed! [1]). Note that you can specify registers to be used to store a variable without writing any asm, if for some reason the register allocator is confused by what you're doing.

Developing a compiler from scratch is the other significant use for writing it. Of course it is quite common to need to read it.

[1]: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/x86-Built-in-Functions.ht...

Edit: also useful are https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Extended-Asm.html and https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Local-Register-Variables....
By time, they’re talking about the writing style of a specific time period.

Feels like a click bait title. Of course language model weights encode different writing styles. The fact that you can lift out a vector to stylize writing is also more interesting, but that’s also nothing newly discovered here. It should be obvious that this is possible given that you can prompt ChatGPT to change its writing style.
Not yet, but it's on the roadmap (https://gitlab.com/smoores/storyteller/-/issues/13)! This one actually ought to be pretty straightforward; the only trick to it is making sure that it doesn't interfere with the local-first goals of the apps.
Not all threats scenarios are the same. The problem is that there's very little in the way of forcing the app developers to accept liability if they misjudge the threat scenario (a notable exception are banking apps in the US)
I think that quite reasonably, many just trust what someone told them — eg, of your answers:

- trust someone’s photo/video

- trust someone’s map

- trust someone’s narrative in a video

- “everyone else is just wrong!”

- trust someone’s narrative about long ago

I think it’s fascinating that your examples to drive home how ridiculous you find the question were all about how we just need to trust authorities. (Including you!)

There’s nothing wrong with trusting people; I’m just pointing out that most people believe the Earth is round because they trust an authority, and not because they did any of the physical examples in your first paragraph personally. Or understand the logic of why that’s an example.

LNG is mostly imported from Qatar and Russia

Russia - is now (thanks to Germany) one of the top exporters of LNG.
With some creative accounting (rewriting labels) of where the oil/gas/lng came from (Russia) -> even India is now a Net exporter of oil.

Please note that LNG is even more environmentally damaging than burning coal.

Look up the 100 year marathon and mao's plan. Russians are not patient or long term strategizing like CCP. They know they have the population and capability and a head-on conflict in the short term undermined their long term goals. If they have their way, they would win many wars without a single shot being fired. Look at how mighty american companies grovel at the CCPs feet, that's how they fight. Russia tries this also by implementing puppet regimes but their approach is too bold and aggressive and requires too much tongue-in-cheek from regular people. Look at how efficiently China subdued hong kong vs Russia's attempts with ukraine prior to zelensky (his predecessor was a russian puppet).

I watched the recent Munro inspection of the Taycan’t and it was just embarrassing how poor it was from an Engineering perspective. Legacy auto is going to get their lunch eaten soon.

I even saw a snarky Reddit comment last week about how Tesla is doomed as they “only do like 1.5M a year vs Ford’s 4.2M year”. It’s like these people were born yesterday, they have no historical understanding or sense of progression. They live in a perpetual present, unable to see the bolder coming until it hits them.

So many shorts have already be wrecked, and now a whole new generation is about to get to the “find out” stage.
"Germany" means "land of the Germans" but last I checked there's also Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and also Prussia to be historically accurate.
Sooo… if I’m reading this right, it’s possible to force an AI into extrapolating into the future. As in, it’ll answer as-if its training was based on data from future years.

Obviously this isn’t time travel, but more of a zeitgeist extrapolation.

I would expect that if an AI was made to answer like it’s from December 2024 it would talk a lot about the US election but it wouldn’t know who won — just that a “race is on.”

This could have actual utility: predicting trends, fads, new market opportunities, etc…
A intuition for creating a lowpass filter ... audio happens in the time domain ... Fourier transform outputs the frequency domain representation of the audio you feed it ... number of audio samples you feed into the FFT call determines the element count of the array returned ... now you have an array of your audio in the frequency domain ... for lowpass crank down to zero array elements above the first quarter of them ... this silences those frequencies ... to render the audio ( generate sound ) feed your edited frequency domain array into an IFFT ( inverse Fourier transform )
Thank you for making this available.

That's a great point; I'll try to add some more of these. I definitely meant to link to the app store page from the docs; I actually just updated them to include that.

It's a full ebook/audiobook library, with sync, though I've focused much more on the reader experience so far than the library management experience. Improving the library management experience is on the horizon, though!
I suspect actual spoken Anglo-Saxon (as by the common people, not the nobility) would probably more easily understood by a modern Dutch, Frisian, or Low German speaker than by a modern English speaker.

Our language has been heavily heavily influenced in the interim first by Old Norse/Danish and then (a huge amount) by Norman French.

I actually have an easier time with Anglo-Saxon than Chaucer, personally. Middle English has bizarre inconsistent orthography, and is full of French loans. While written Anglo-Saxon is pretty consistent and some of the vocabulary and grammar makes sense to me as someone who studied German a bit. Old English is a really beautiful language.

But in general what we have in written records is what was written by the literate elites, not regular folk. So it's really hard to say what it would be like to be dropped into the villages of 15th century England.
Of note: Soviet losses during one battle* exceeded US losses for the entire war in both theatres.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad

Forget D-Day, Hitler knew he'd lost at this point. No oil, no Blitz. As far as I can tell he kept hanging on because he believed (correctly) that the US and USSR would soon be enemies, and believed (incorrectly) that he could cut a side deal to join one side against the other.
The US government intentionally doesn't harmonize vehicle standards and disallows private importation of cars less than 25 years old as a non-tariff trade barrier. These protectionist measures are terrible for consumers but they are strongly supported by manufacturers, dealers, and unions so the policy is unlikely to change.
I used to say that only California could afford the progressive policies they were trying to force on everyone else. Now it seems they can’t even afford it.

They could have a specialist with extra training who is brought in to consult for situations like this. That seems to be what we do for other scenarios (e.g. we could train every doctor to administer general anesthesia, but instead we have a specialist for that).

I assume he means on his expenses. Which is also wrong. You sell taxable items to paddle but since they are outside your jurisdiction you don't charge them taxes. But you can claim taxes on your expenses no problem. At least that is how it works in Canada
That's fair. I haven't spent any time looking through the RISC-V vector extensions yet. I look forward to it, though.
I can't fathom why you think a country like Russia doesn't have a powerful economy.

Not just Russia, there are many countries most westerners know nothing about that have more money than one would have expected.
That’s why we have different crimes. If your business sells unsafe food, you don’t get off unscathed if they can’t prove that you intentionally poisoned the victims. If nothing else, any officer of the company who claims to have no idea what the people under them are doing should be worried about reconciling that with their fiduciary duties – it’s possible that they could be carefully scammed, of course, but that still requires them to show that their controls met a minimum level which seems infeasible in many cases.

Still I think there is room for coming at problems via entirely different praradigms. See LLMs and their emphasis on parallel compute to get to a single answer.
When I see comparisons like this, the first thought I have is not the benchmarks, but rather what the most “heroic” real-world calculation of the day would have been on something like the Cray-1, and how to replicate those calculations today on something like a RPi. Weather/climate models? Rad-hydro?

The fidelity would almost certainly be super low compared to modern FEA software, but it would be a fun exercise to try.

I bought some electronic hobbyist magazines few years ago (like Nuts & Volts) out of curiosity and because I always wanted subscription as a kid, but we never had it.

It was utterly underwhelming. The writing was ok, but each issue was maybe an an equivalent of 1-2 days worth of hackaday.com articles and nowhere as detailed as personal blogs (think "sprites mods"). This means that most issues will have at most one interesting article, or maybe none.

I would love to support the physical media, but it is simply not interesting enough.

https://fiiir.com/ will help you design a filter. Select "Python script" to get some comments on how to apply that filter on your data (look for "convolve").

For more understanding, I do recommend reading up on DSP and Signals concepts, they're pretty critical to know if you're designing filters.

Unless they do something silly again, like creating a whole other online account system for the switch's successor. Far less likely this time though, since they have unified accounts and actually charge people to use it.

I would still not put it past them though.

Amateur attempt at writing SVG filters with a grounding in DSP/image processing:

<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'>
<filter id='pixelate' x='0' y='0'>
<!-- <feComposite result="box-blur"/> -->
<feConvolveMatrix order="3" kernelMatrix="1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" result="box-blur" />

<!-- generate tiling pattern -->
<feFlood x='3' y='3' height='1' width='1'/>

<!-- apply tiling pattern -->
<feComposite in='box-blur' operator='in'/>

<!-- expand pixels to (2r + 1) large -->
<feMorphology operator='dilate' radius='1'/>
</filter>
</svg>

The feConvolveMatrix is only needed if you want input pixel averaging rather than point sampling. (It automatically divides by the sum of taps.)

Note that:

- I'm told that feConvolveMatrix becomes slower for higher orders. For composite input sizes (like powers of 2), you can instead combine multiple passes of sampling with increasing amounts of zero-spacing between taps (the other meaning of dilation LMAO). I don't know if browsers will optimize the filter to skip processing input data, to make the filtering runtime O(log n) rather than O(n^2).

- I don't know any way to make <feMorphology operator='dilate'> expand point-sampled images to even pixel sizes. You may need to start with a different source point-sampling filter.

You can form hypotheses and test them though. That is what they do when they run the "standard" tests, but once those tests are done most doctors don't seem to be good at and/or interested in coming up with further hypotheses.
> there are many countries most westerners

Maybe this is meant in a way that makes sense, but what do you mean westerners specifically? Our maps include the same countries as people "from the east of us" (whatever that means on a globe), and we all can consult global statistics. Am I missing something obvious?
