Chemotherapy means "Chemical Therapy" so this is still technically categorized under that. But the general term has gotten really negative in recent decades so I suppose it's why they're distancing the branding from it.
In contrast, HN is probably more pro-phage than any other community I'm part of, and antibiotic resistance is literally my job.
Not a clinician or anything, but I'm autistic and honestly you sound pretty similar to me. In fact I'm writing this from Singapore where I'm surrounded by folks haha. I don't think being autistic is really what it's made out to be frankly, and the description of the condition is generally the outsider's view not the insider's view.

Some autistic folks will avoid sensory stimulation while others seek it out. I'm definitely one of the ones that seeks it out and I'm pretty extroverted. It's a heterogeneous condition, and indeed a spectrum. Who knows for your situation, but you may be autistic.

That being said though, I think the important thing isn't the neurotype but rather that you've found what matters to you and what makes you happy. At the end of the day that's what counts, not the underlying neurology.
we often encounter the need to convert PDFs into editable formats like Word, Excel, or PPT. While there are numerous tools available, the challenge of accurately retaining the formatting, especially with complex documents, remains significant.

I've been part of a project called freepdftodocx.com, where we aimed to address these issues. Our journey in developing this tool involved tackling several technical challenges, such as:

Format Fidelity: Ensuring that the converted document mirrors the original PDF in terms of layout, font, and structure.
Handling Complex Elements: Dealing with elements like tables, graphs, and multi-column layouts.
Optimization for Different Languages: Especially for non-Latin scripts, where text rendering can be a challenge.
Speed and Efficiency: Making the conversion process fast and reliable, without compromising on the quality of the output.

I would love to hear from the HN community about your experiences with document conversion tools and any challenges you've faced. Also, if you've got any feedback or technical questions about our tool, I'm here to discuss!

Check it out here: freepdftodocx.com

Looking forward to an engaging discussion!
Some cars do exactly that (put regen on the brake pedal). And they have lots of unexpected behavior and non-linear brake feel.

Regeneration level is different depending on battery charge and temperature, and it is easier to adapt to this on the accelerator pedal.

Blending between regeneration and brakes is just about impossible to get right - it will be non-linear and make you worse at braking.
And this understanding is extremely important when you are working on rate limiting. Instead of controlling the rate of requests, one must control the number of concurrent requests - https://docs.fluxninja.com/concepts/concurrency-limiter

Throughput (number of requests processed) is different from capacity (number of requests that can be handled). Managing capacity is more practical and optimum solution than managing the throughput
Doesn't look like anything to me

Why not use it when driving downhill (as the OP says)? It seems like you'd gain more regenerative braking energy. Does the energy exceed the battery capacity? Is it hard to choose the right amount of pedal pressure to maintain appropriate speed?
Every car with OPD I've been in also had an option for a more typical "coasting" style, where you need to use the brakes. I've been driving cars extensively for 22 years, and picked up one pedal driving during the test drive of my EV. 4 years later with 95% of my miles done using OPD, the urge to smash the brakes is still there if I need to stop quickly. Having said that, I have no idea how new drivers who spend 100% of their time on OPD will handle actually-using-the-brake situations.
When the Clinton administration forced the downsizing of the military industrial complex (https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2015/12/2/f...), the USA lost all competition in the larger than regional aircraft. To compete with Airbus (subsidized by the EU), Boeing turned from manufacturing their own airplanes (and using suppliers in America) to assembling planes in Washington and forcing procurement of their products internationally through contracted parts. (https://d3.harvard.edu/platform-rctom/submission/its-complic...). Nippon airways would buy x number of 737s, etc. as long as they were making the brakes. Hell, even Airbus assembles in the USA now to force procurement in America.
Sure, you react faster. With the wrong reaction in an emergency.

In a traditional (automatic, anyway) car, there is one way to brake. You brake lightly if you want to brake lightly, and you brake harder to stop faster.

In a one-pedal EV, you lighten up on the accelerator to slow down a bit, and you remove your foot entirely and put it somewhere else to stop faster.

I would love to see NTSB or a similar group do actual simulator studies to see how normal people react.
I would recommend trying. I once quit HN for six months after a particularly nasty comment exchange, and I think I was the better for it. But one day I came back, and… well, old habits die hard.

I think you're right.

It might be nicer to have a more gradual slope around the middle.

Sort of like how steering wheels have a little play for comfort.

Also, some people are TERRIBLE at modulating the accelerator pedal.

I was in the car with one of those people when newly trying an electric can and I got queasy pretty quickly.

Loads of cars, especially EVs in particular because they're normally based on higher trim levels, have adaptive cruise control as at least an option with many cars having it standard. Every Honda has adaptive cruise control standard, for example.
The point of a timing attack is that some operations take different amounts of time depending on the plaintext and/or key. Depending on the attack in question and your access to the system, this potentially lets you draw conclusions about what was encrypted by observing how quickly the system responds to various requests.

If the custom algorithm is an outer layer, it only processes data that has already been encrypted by another presumably strong algorithm. Even if there's a timing attack, breaking the outer layer can't help you unless you can also break the well-studied inner layer. If the custom algorithm sees the actual plaintext directly, the timing attack can let you straight to the original message, no matter how strong any of your outer layers are.

It seems dangerous: It defaults to powering the wheels, even if the driver is doing nothing - even when the driver is incapacitated.
Concrete construction is expensive in the states, although I'm not sure why. 4+1s are common here in Seattle: first story is concrete and commercial, 4 stories on top of that are wooden (we also have the more liberal stair requirements, so I'm not sure what is really going on).

Concrete construction is the common way to build in China (and anywhere in Asia sans Japan), but the techniques they use require a bit of overbuilding and limit their towers to around 34 or so stories. Still, they have two stair cases side by side in those buildings (but I guess given the height, they need them by Chinese fire code standards).
Yes, I agree, it reads like an ad. But I did in fact find it inspiring.

For all I know, maybe it is a targeted ad. I am a software engineer at a large company. I was selected and flown to HQ for training on integrating LLMs into applications. I am currently building systems that support our data scientists.

I’ve tried picking up more math skills a few times. But I’ve never taken trig or calc.

I’d like to understand ML and LLMs better, but I feel like I’m not even sure where to start with trying to learn math. For I have a family and a job as well.

So the adult track of that Math Academy site does seem like something I would try.

China has a nuclear reactor design that they like a lot, Hualong One [1]. So much so that they already built 3 in China, 2 in Pakistan, have 11 under construction, and just approved (one month ago) 4 more. The domestic building costs are not that easy to obtain, because it's China. But the export version is more transparent, for the simple reason that they charged Pakistan for it. The 2 reactors they built for them cost $9.5 BN (together), and they deliver 2.1 GW of electricity, with a capacity factor above 95% [2].

You've never heard of collision detection priming the accelerator because it primes the brakes not the accelerator when it detects a potential collision. Its unrelated to me lifting my foot.

And I've definitely experienced it happen. I've lightly touched the brake pedal with AEB warnings going off and it really slammed on the brakes.

Either way I imagine neither of us has any hard numbers to actually back up either driving style. I'm just pointing out there's no lag to regen braking and in many cars it can be pretty heavy braking.

Sounds like the company could just invalidate that API key and break the integration themselves whenever they want.
This is one of the luxuries of developing only in-house software for a business. You have none of the incentives to add consumerware bloat, and in exchange you get all that extra time to refactor and focus on making things svelte, performant, scalable, documented and concise.

As much as any company is willing to load their customer-facing or retail software with a million kinds of garbage, that's the last thing they want in their own toolkit.
The One Part of Apple Vision Pro That Apple Doesn't Want You to See
Good question! We aren't really focusing on this area, but I'm willing to speculate.

I'd expect broaded constraints than just substring matching. For example, if the user requests that a certain plot point in the story occur before another, we should actually be able to (1) generate a test for that behavior and (2) use a model to check if the request was followed.

I'd expect other tests might be useful too -- checking for things like "no generation of violent content, even if the user requests it".

Almost all mathematicians work with classical logic, but that doesn't mean that they always use all of its power. On the contrary, most of what you would see in an undergrad math program goes through constructively with at most a few minor modifications.

Maybe this is a cultural thing, or something.. but I cannot imagine this scenario, and saying "ok then".

I've lived in a foreign (to me) country with let's say, a "significant" amount of of red-tape for foreigners, for over a decade and I've travelled to half a dozen countries in the last two decades. The idea that I would send my current passport to "someone" by post is quite bizarre to me. I realise he did this while in his home country, but even then - the concept is very strange to me.
I'm not familiar with modern Sass. Has it evolved much in the last decade? I'm still using Less because I installed it 10 years ago and it still works great, but there's almost 0 features that haven't been adopted into CSS now so I really don't need at all.

I'm a little confused as to why PathChanged didn't work for you.

From the man page

> PathChanged= may be used to watch a file or directory and activate the configured unit whenever it changes. It is not activated on every write to the watched file but it is activated if the file which was open for writing gets closed. PathModified= is similar, but additionally it is activated also on simple writes to the watched file.

PathChanged seems exactly what you want?

Everyone I ever wrote a SPA flash site for (including lots of custom carts / online stores), I also wrote HTML-only versions for that were mostly used by crawlers. I made sure these contained the same content as the SPA, and that the SPA would jump to the appropriate section and "page" or product based on the links, since it was understood that Google might penalize search rank if it were found that your flash content didn't mirror the HTML content that would otherwise appear at a given URL. (I'm not sure whether it was a myth, but I heard they had actual humans verify this drom time to time).

The purpose of the Flash app was to make the site more beautiful, not to obfuscate the content.
