This is beside the point. The code specifies what the product _is_, not what it "should" be. If you ask for a word processor and I deliver a perfectly bug-free and feature-complete calculator would you really believe it lived up to spec?
Yet most tools I buy in America are still using inches, can you explain why that is ?

I dislike your comments because you seem to just gloss over reality and pretend everything is as you imagine it when it's not.

Every single weather report in the USA today is in Fahrenheit, is this the metric system?

Every single car I drive in America is using miles, is this metric?

You're delusional if you think that America actively uses the metric system.
Yes. Anything with finite memory is not Turing-complete, and transformers are finite-state machines. So what? Anything with infinite memory is un-buildable.

Yes, there's a school of philosophy that claims that AI cannot be built with digital hardware because it needs infinite state. Penrose is the leading exponent of this argument.[1] This isn't taken too seriously any more, now that finite machines are doing so well at AI.

This is close to theology. Man must be special, right? Only humans can play chess, right? Play Go? Pass the Turing test? Create art and music? We're running out of boxes to check. Common sense (as in getting through the next 30 seconds without a major screwup) and manipulation in unstructured settings are still in bad shape, but we only need squirrel-level AI for that.

On that subject, there was a "what does the cerebellum do" article on HN a few days ago. That's a big issue. The lower mammal brains are mostly cerebellum. The weak areas in AI at present are mostly cerebellum functions. That area has never gotten enough attention in AI research. Today, though, the amount of hardware to do a low-end mammal cerebellum equivalent doesn't seem at all unreasonable.

This is not a justification for using a broken function.

Truncating a fixed number of bits does not make a good secure function less secure, other than the implications that the shorter length has on brute-force and collision strength.

In some cases it can even make it even more secure, e.g. SHA-2-512/256.
I'm waiting for it too and I know more cuts are coming that could impact me. The stress is really bad for me right now and I was already stressed before.

I am absolutely not convinced that if I lose my job I can easily get another one that pays as well, which is saying something because my wage is pathetic compared to most people on HN.
From reading your first paragraph I thought you were heading to an opposite conclusion, but yes, completely agree that we should make it easier to go public
Many manufactured homes are sold like regular homes, but come with an exorbitant “land rent” which is as burdensome as a mortgage, but earns no equity.

It’s just rent.
But annoyingly, not the <title>, thus the useless HN headline.
If that's actually the case then you're in an extremely fortunate position, and probably something like the top 2% of the income distribution.
They'll save money on warranty repairs in that case - by blaming your mom for a water spill - so it'll all work out for them.

It's not even a new trick, some scammy repair companies here in Europe loved to claim water damage to avoid warranty repairs.
Using cruise missiles to terrorise civilian population will be incredibly stupid move. Hits into houses are usually accidental.
If you want to terrorise civilian population, it's so much cost effective to use cheaper unguided rockets from MLRS systems or artillery shells. You have this news in your echo chamber, haven't you?
Spill proof should be possible reasonably. Think pad used to have channels for water drainage not sure they still have them. Dunking proof laptop would be possible but tradeoff not worth it.
My professor told me a story related to this. Now he was in WV, working on machines for the coal mines. Dead of winter, like a mile underground. Someone gets bit by a copperhead. At some point it must have hitched a ride on something and got brought into the mine. They had to fly the guy all the way to Columbus, OH to get the anti-venom because no one was stocking it during the Winter.
If _one_ person forgoes buying a new phone, or doesn't fly, or doesn't use a car, it won't make an appreciable difference.

If 100 million people do it, it will.

So ... I applaud both of you.
Perhaps, but I don't think it should be a strict requirement. A locked-down, encrypted laptop with all of its keys stored securely in a TPM will do just fine when all you want to prevent is hackers from another country using credential stuffing to log into your online environment. It mostly depends on what kind of threads you're trying to defend against.

Then again, with passkeys and Windows Hello/TouchID becoming more and more usable in real life, I think the Authy app has better replacements available that are built right into the operating systems already.

The real kicker is Authy's sync feature; you're basically locking your 2FA behind a password and a phone number. It's another thing attackers need to hack, but it's inherently weaker for protecting access than the "hardware you need to destroy to get the secrets" types of second factors.
Wow, this is bad.
Maybe this is sort of like the opposite of how scam emails are purposefully scammy, so that only people who can't recognize scams will fall for them. Only people who know what "a DataFrame library" is - which is an enormous number of people, since this is probably the most broadly known concept in data science / engineering - will keep reading this, and they are the target audience.
Ah interesting, thanks for sharing
Restartable Sequence Mechanism for TCMalloc
> operations on very large datasets can take multiple minutes in pandas. Polars is supposed to reduce that to a few seconds.

Good example; I can see how efficiency would matter for workflows like that.

I work with dataframes in the 10's-100's millions of rows (mostly in tidyverse, but also pandas and base python and R), and find most data wrangling operations are close to instant on modern laptops. Plotting is another story (not sure if polars helps there).

So the case for efficiency is weak at the 10-100 million row dataframe size (unless doing some intense computations), but gains strength as the size of the dataframe grows.

Would be a fun aside to test all these frameworks side by side with some 1m/10m/100m/1bn row joins, filters, summary calcs, maps etc to get some concrete data on where efficiency starts to become noticeable and starts to matter. I think at sub 100m rows it probably doesn't. Not for the kinds of operations I do anyway.
The M1 only supported 1 external monitor.

i think i was misremembering which company it was and you're right

pin-for-pin compatible parts always have some differences: power consumption, setup and hold times, ground bounce, slew rates, noise margins, hysteresis on slow transitions, drive strength, stability in the face of capacitive output loads, endurance when subjected to overvoltage or overcurrent conditions, etc.

dave jones of eevblog did a video a few years ago https://youtu.be/1VlKoR0ldIE about how he shipped a bunch of defective μCurrent burden-voltage-eliminating current sensors. in his tests it worked fine, but many of his customers started reporting inaccurate readings. after sufficient debugging, he figured out that the problem happened only when its output was connected to a voltmeter with a high input capacitance, which caused its output to oscillate, introducing both noise and an offset into the readings. it turned out that one of the op-amps was going into oscillation because it couldn't handle driving that much output capacitance, a common problems with op-amps, but why was this never a problem before? he'd switched over to a second source that made a chip meeting the same specifications, but which turned out to be more vulnerable to output oscillations

so, when you put a pin-compatible chip into a design in place of the original part, you have to carefully test the result to ensure that it still works properly. most times it will, but if it doesn't, you could have a product recall on your hands. worse, your customers may be incorporating your product into their own products

if you pull chips without warning, for example when you start producing competitive chips, every company who designed them into a product has to suddenly switch over to their supposedly pin-compatible replacements. some of them will have their products fail unless they redesign them. they will have to pull their products from the market. everyone who designed a product incorporating your original chip gets fired, and when they finally manage to get a new job, they swear to never again use a part from your company

and that's why lots of companies have been producing the μa741 and its clones like the lm741 since 01968, and why out of the 15522 different op-amps that digi-key lists as in stock, 1397 are listed as 'obsolete' and another 1042 are listed as 'last time buy'. and it's why a z80 you buy from zilog today still uses hundreds of milliamps

i'm not an electrical engineer, i just play one on hn
Trust me. It does. ;)

That everyone in the class demonstrated the same progress showed that Duolingo provided little advantage, which is what I was attempting to say in the quote.

I gave up Duolingo around 18 months before starting the course, which is for complete beginners with zero knowledge.
Eating a variety of plant based foods on a daily basis meets all amino acid requirements. If you're not sure, you can use a site like Cronometer to validate it. It seems the more a person is worried about protein, the less they know about it and nutrition generally.
I think there are two situations in which you might see this kind of rebuttal:

1) The reviewers were truly unreasonable, and the authors feel they have no hope of winning them over. Instead, they try to highlight the flaws in the reviews to play to the Area Chair, and hope the reviewers are overruled. It's a longshot, but worth a try if you don't feel there's another path.

2) The authors aren't really familiar with the review process, and are just upset with the negative feedback. They're just looking to argue for the sake of arguing, and not as part of a strategy to get accepted. I think that's what we're seeing here.

xbps-query -RS ripgrep |sed -n 11,21p

pkgname: ripgrep
pkgver: ripgrep-14.0.3_1
repository: https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/current/musl
run_depends:
libgcc>=4.4.0_1
libpcre2>=10.22_1
musl>=1.1.24_7
shlib-requires:
libc.so
libgcc_s.so.1
libpcre2-8.so.0

It would be nice to have a ripgrep without libpcre2.

It also would be nice to use BRE by default and make ERE optional, similar to grep.

What would compiling ripgrep from source entail. Would it be as easy as compiling ired.

ired compiles in seconds and compiling requires less than 1MB of disk space. No connection to any server is required to compile the program.

Let's edit the 1.sh script to add the -F option and try our example search again to see what happens.

#!/bin/sh
read x;
case $# in :)
;;0)exec echo "usage: ${0##*/} file [chars before] [chars after]"
;;1)exec rg -F --no-unicode --block-buffered --color=never -NUo "$x" $1
esac
case $# in 2|3)printf "((.)|(\\\\n)|(\\\\r)){"$2"}$x((.)|(\\\\n)|(\\\\r)){"${3-0}"}";esac \
|rg -f/dev/stdin -F --no-unicode --block-buffered --color=never -NUo $1

echo \(|1.sh test.html

echo \(a|1.sh test.html 0 3

As expected, this produces no output.

We cannot add the surrounding context characters as literals because we do not know the identity of these characters. That is what we are attempting to find out.

Would I ever search for a repeating pattern such as \(a\(a using ired. The answer is no; I am looking for context. I would search for \(a and then add a request for context, a number characters before and/or after, as in the examples. Again, I do not know what those characters will be; that is what I am searching for. If the pattern repeats, this would be visible from viewing the context.

For line-delimited files where data is presented in a regular format, grep -A -B and -C work great for printing context. But for files that can be idiosyncratic in how they present data and/or files that lack consistent newline delimeters, for me, grep -o is inadequate for printing context.
Water damage is one of the cases I've seen companies abuse to get out of warranty in Europe. I don't know of a way to dispute it.
The '$40 Pencil' That Almost Went Extinct
I agree that nobody is privileged in absolute terms, and do not feel that your statement conflicts with anything I have written. We seem to also agree that abstractions can be useful, but perhaps disagree on whether or not the "realness" of a concept must necessarily be related to the capacity for that concept have effects on society and on real people that may be beneficial or harmful.

The justice system is ideally intended to provide fair and impartial justice, but I think it's also fair and reasonable to point out when it falls short of that ideal. In fact, in a democratic society, I would argue that an informed and vocal public is a necessary component of keeping institutions accountable to the people.
These companies are always innovating. Google doesn't just say "Our ad recommendation system is good enough, lets just go into maintenence mode for a year." No. They constantly are trying to improve their models, switch to a better architecture, and innovate to try and eke out a few more percentage points of conversions.
Did you ever happen to put a watt meter on the gaming setup to see what the power draw was? The M1's are a lot better with power consumption, though my biggest users of power tend to be my large monitors.....

I just put inverter/battery/solar system in my house in ZA and since you can get a 5KW battery for roughly 25,000 Rand which would run a beefy machine for over a long time the numbers might change if you were in that circumstance. If you're a renter, or in a condo etc. those numbers would be different.

....all of that being said, there are a lot of other pluses to having the M1 and I love the M2 that I currently have.
But what did you think of the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

I've been working with local models as agents, and anyone interested in trying this needs to know about llama.ccp's "gammers" feature. You can force the model's output to conform to a specific structure, which is not only useful for ensuring that you recieve eg. valid JSON output but more specific stuff like "if you choose to do x, you must also provide y", which can be great for influencing it's thinking (eg. an actor who's planning ahead might be required to resond with three of any of the five W's (it's choice which three), but then it get's to be free-form inside of the JSON string values, which can be used as context for a following selection from a restricted set of actions; or a model might have option of asking for more time to think at the end if it's response, but if it doesn't then it needs to specify it's next action). This does't impact generation speed AFAICT and can be used in vry creative ways, but results can still need re-generated if they're truncated and I had to write a function to stop immediately when the valid JSON obj is closed (ie. at the end) or when more that like five newlines are generated it a row. This will vary by model.
Is it really that strange of a take? To use the best tool available for a job. That doesn't sound strange at all.

Doubly so if it involves copilot. There's no way to get training data without people writing it. This sound like a direct application of a greedy algorithm: trading long term success for short term gain. That's not the ideal way to live.
In New Zealand, heat-pumps are the most common form of heating. Works great, far more cost effective than other forms of electrical heating.

We've never really done boilers, previously it was mainly wood fires for heating. Coal used to be widely used, but we've banned burning coal in most residential areas, and woodburners in a lot of residential areas are subject to stringent regulation to improve air quality, we used to have phenomenal smog issues in winter due to temperature inversions and woodfires.

My house still has two log-burners, but with our two heat-pumps and decent double glazing, we didn't need to light the fires last year.

And the real bonus is that they can run in reverse and cool your house, which is amazing in the hot dry summers we get in my area.
Sounds consistent with some non-scientists working in the field, maybe for some smaller software company? They find something cool, and try to write a paper about it, which is something they aren't very experienced with.

On Windows, you can use a variety of Android 2FA apps. With a bit of messing around, you may even be able to get the Authy Android app working. On other platforms, there's a variety of open source and not-so-open source TOTP apps you can use instead.

Authy does have some proprietary stuff (partnership with companies for auth push notifications, for example; I've seen this on Twitch) but most companies just use the TOTP/HOTP functionality that's available in all manner of apps.
I used this at work about a year ago to build a statistics platform and it was damn good, chewing through gigabytes of data quickly and with no hassle. Having never worked with such a library before I found myself asking my colleague who'd worked with Pandas a lot of questions which he was able to answer easily due to the overlap.

My only critique of the Rust crate is that it's not as well documented as the Python API and the Rust API required a lot more unwrapping and error handling than other Rust crates which was quite tedious.
No [0]. It's a sad story about a morbidly obese woman who went through a high risk pregnancy without insurance and without following doctor's instructions for one of her critical medications. This is the sad reality of illegal immigration. The only healthcare illegal immigrants have access to is the emergency room, and the doctors and facilities there are not equipped to deal with issues like high risk pregnancies.

Without a doubt they would object, based just on signage I've seen at the doctor's office. Also I think it would run the risk of appearing like you're a litigious nut.

Note: All of this is U.S. perspective, I have no idea about healthcare anywhere else.

Given how hard it is to even find half-decent doctors even taking new patients, or having appointments available this quarter let alone soon, the doctor likely doesn't need you nearly as much as you probably need a doctor. They're going to be fully booked even if they ask you to leave and decline to be filmed, so they don't have any reason to consent to it. This is one place where the "try to make the customer happy" conventional wisdom about transactional relationships seems to not apply one iota.
I would like one that was just red and green.
By default: red.

Then I can shift it to green which automatically starts a countdown
to shift to red after 15 minutes.

It would be even better with the countdown being visual with a bar of
lights that starts up "full" and then decreases by one light until the
time has expired.

Must have the feature to extend the conversation should that ever be
a desire. You can find good conversations with luck.

Most desired for me would be automatic detection of conversation and
start the countdown.
I think the distinction/point is that it's not harmful in the 'this might give you cancer' way that ionizing radiation sources will. Worst case, you get an RF burn... which is not great, but it's effects are immediate and obvious, unlike ionizing radiation which is much more insidious.

The account I'm now using, dang, was used briefly in 2010 by someone who didn't leave an email address. I feel bad for not being able to ask them if they still want it, so I'm considering this an indefinite loan. If you're the original owner, please email me and I'll give it back to you. The reason I want the name dang is that (a) it's a version of my real name and (b) it's something you say when you make a mistake.

You're probably too late.
You could do that, but it would likely both perform significantly worse (if you're doing "analytical" kinds of queries) and be a lot less flexible and expressive.

But you may want to look into DuckDB, which has a sql implementation that is not ad hoc, bug ridden, slow, or incomplete (though I honestly don't know about the formality of its specification). And it is compatible with polars :)
