I often end up ordering more thanks to QR. No longer do I have to try to flag down a waiter to get a menu looking for desserts after I'm done eating. Then having to flag them down again to order. Such a hassle I often don't bother. Same with getting another drink.

With QR? Just scan it an order. Done eating? Just leave, having already paid in the app. Also removes the whole stupid tip thing.
I was so hopeful in the beginning of 90s. There was sense of harmony all over the Northern hemisphere.

But then Russia started to quickly become more and more aggressive, yes, first in the rhetoric, but then Putin came and the shit became real. Now I understand that the Russian society first had a kind of agreement with him - they don't mind the politics and Putin doesn't mind them.

It looks like it has played out well for Putin but not so well for the rest of the Russians.

Closing down close to all of the Internet traffic to the free world feels completely logical when the play of elections is nearing and if it is successful then it will probably remain like this.

People mention other products where that might work. So yes, jump in.

The issue with sites like this, I feel, is staying power. Even with some reasonable SEO awareness and legitimate presence on the corresponding technical forums, it still takes years to accumulate links (but perhaps mostly bookmarks) to your product discovery site. Including organic HN mentions - if that's the right audience. Same for any other old-style web site. And people want a quick buck. So that they get impatient and give up the entire thing, or they give up mentioning the site in the right places. Or so that they sell ads or product placement - which then kills the organic effort.
None whatsoever. There is no right to good data for model training, nor does any contractual relationship exist between you and and a model builder who scrapes your website.
In that context you could simply pick another thing as the tie breaker, like the IP address expressed as an integer (ie, remove the periods and treat like a number) being lower.

I think federal regulations should be created to require two things:

1. Anyone who makes a browser is prohibited from advertising it on other sites owned within the same corporate hierarchy: no lying to YouTube users that they will have a better visit if use Chrome, etc.

2. Any organization which has a majority stake in a browser has to test every web app in every browser with more than 0.5% share, and has a time limit to fix any compatibility or performance issues except those caused by a browser not having good support for W3C standards. The idea there is preventing stuff like the long period where YouTube used a Chrome-only web components draft rather than the standard version Firefox and Safari implemented and served them a dog-slow polyfill instead but still allowing them to tell Apple that feature X doesn’t work well because the implementation in Safari needs to be improved.
Also if you've ever done a deeper analysis of Lucky jeans, the same exact model is wildly different depending on where it got produced. Different material composition, fit, flexibility/softness (due to the difference in materials), different country it was produced in (and IIRC, it's not even consistent. Mexico is not always 100% cotton for example. There was no discernible pattern)

I try to find products I like and then buy a bunch of them (in case they stop making them, etc) and I wound up making a spreadsheet once after becoming frustrated with the inability to trust the same "model number" means the same thing there.
This is not one artist inspiring another. This is all artists providing their work for free to immensely capitalized corporations for the corporations sole profit.

People keep making metaphors as if the AI is an entity in this transaction: it’s not! The AI is only the mechanism by which corporations launder IP.
My hope is these type of "poisoning tools" become ubiquitous for all content types on the web, forcing AI companies to, you know, license things.

That is what the law, as provided, states. Naturally one understands that law isn't just the words on the page, but also a tangled web of precedent. No doubt there is already plenty of precedent to invalidate usage of the law in many contexts, but that's where someone who understands the legal state in full detail would come in and add more colour, not just retort with "It doesn't mean that. I can't say why, but trust me, I know!" Ouch.

General Rene Schneider wasn't on board with a coup, so he was killed.

His sucessor, Carlos Pratts, wasn't onboard either, and knowing he was going to be killed, fled the country. He was killed anyways (after the coup).

His successor, Pinochet, agreed with the coup and executed it.

The president died during the coup, and the vice president (who fled the country), the successor for the president, was killed too.

There was a covert operation to purge any general against the idea of a coup, and the US was part of it. Decapitation.

I used to love documentaries but eventually noticed that they usually had rather low information density. A documentary that took two hours to watch often could be summarized in an article that took five to ten minutes to read.

While watching these I could see the strong bias that the scientists had and how they were posterchildren for peer review. They land on a unique place on the psuedoscience spectrum where they're well trained yet pursuing their work for personal gain. They aren't in it to learn something but to be important. They want the truth to be exciting and they want to be the people to find it. That's not what motivates people of science.

I could see all of this being a person of science and seeing all of the ugly aspects of academia. I'm not sure the average viewer will pick up on these things. It's irresponsible to publish without better context.

I do give the creators credit for having the scientists speak and have a lot of camera time. It allows for these judgments to be made. If they hid behind narration and drone shots it would be much more difficult to pick up on these things.

The Great 78 Project: 400k recordings of 78rpm records
Buying physical media you have the right to resell that one physical copy. Libraries pay extra fees for lending. In both cases only 1 person can use that copy at a given time, and the artist is paid for each copy. Downloading rips where thousands of people get an album in parallel without paying is in no way remotely equivalent.

The occasional bootleg of an impossible to licence recording is something most music lovers do. But make your default consumption route a paying one. The services are absolutely amazing for what they cost.

Yeah, some music hasn’t made it to streaming. Usually for sad reasons. Those artists need legitimate support even more. Buy em.

But please don’t equate pirating to library lending.

You are right, AI is nothing but a tool akin to a pen or a brush.

If you draw Mickey Mouse with a pencil and you publish (and sell) the drawing who is getting the blame? Is the pencil infringing the copyright? No, it's you.

If streaming were a better deal for consumers than ownership do you think streamers would push it so hard? Every time I try to buy an MP3 I hit a bunch of anti-patterns trying to get me to click on get this with a subscription.

People think of it as the price of a subscription today vs the price of ownership today. The problem is that every service model business has learned to boil the frog slowly.
Early UEFI firmware having quirks like this is pretty common, and it's also not uncommon for the BIOS Menu and other things you'd hope to be persistent (Diagnostics, Secure Erase Tool on Lenovo laptops) to just be boot entries with some hardcoded (but not absolute) protections.

I remember the opposite problem being the case on the T420 BIOS. If you didn't set a newly added entry as NextBoot, it'd just disappear after reboot.

That's because most programmers ignore you as soon as they hear the m-word (or Haskell), as all that useless in "the real world"(TM).
One of my favourite books is Dreaming In Code which really does a good job telling the story of mitch kapors "chandler" product;

Dreaming in Code tells the story of the development of Chandler, an open source, cross-platform “personal information manager.” This software was the brainchild of Mitch Kapor (of Lotus 1-2-3 fame, and the founder of a short-lived non-profit called the Open Source Applications Foundation. While the OSAF was well-funded (to the tune of millions), and while Chandler was eventually built, it was marked by blown deadlines and cost overruns. And the project is now moribund.

In other words, as Rosenberg wryly notes, Chandler is another in a long line of failed software projects. Unlike building bridges, he notes, software engineering is hard.

Isn't shorter path length the goal here? And ARM is better by both those metrics. Am I misunderstanding something?

ARM of course would also benefit from fusion too; but camel-cdr's mention of it being only rv64g is a pretty significant caveat.
Memory jogged. It was Lulu. Looked pretty good, but that was many years ago.
I'm reminded of the description in "Rainbow End?" where the guy doesn't have a VR setup yet and sees people reaching out and touching shapes held in the air by mechanical arms. Basically, there are 'self-arranging blobs' that arrive 'just in time' to your interaction, changing their tactile surface to reflect what you expect. The user sees none of this, and only what they see in their interface.

I can't imagine it working perfectly. Say, pulling a book out of a shelf should have exactly zero resistance (other than the force of gravity pulling the book down). Having near zero latency between action and the 'tactile interface' moving in exactly the right direction would be a very hard problem...
How can programmers be lazy if programming is hard?
This attitude "if we can't do it perfectly, we should just give up" is very frustrating.

Yes, it's impossible to correctly classify all video productions, and you won't ever get a guarantee that everything said in a "documentary" is correct, but labelling clear examples of pseudo-science as just that will slightly improve the situation, it won't make it worse.
Much prefer the touchpad approach, where they have one near each table, you pick what you want and it goes directly to the kitchen and runs up a tab. At the end you pay like normal and that's it. It's a digital menu that doesn't require my device in any way. These are rare from what I've experienced though.
Hm we typically talk about that phase as “data ingestion”. We also use verbs extract, chunk, index, but those are parts of ingestion. Another phrase we use is “data preparation”. The tricky thing is that your train() method is on the vanna object, so if you called it “ingest”, it wouldn’t be clear where the data was headed. But I think it’d be clearer than “train” given that has such a specific meaning in this space. You could also look to LlamaIndex API for naming inspiration.
Wrong. When you pay with a credit card it gives your name and amount. Activate a QR code and you're giving up your IP address at the bare minimum, it becomes possible to calculate how long you've been in the restaurant and who knows what else based on the cookies that come back or pdf telemetry. Every day there are stories here on HN about how people's data can be exfiltrated from their phones, but somehow you think this could never happen in a restaurant?

Please tell them. They probably got a huckster in there who sold them the QR code madness by promising them increased sales.
>You need an acquire memory barrier after acquiring a lock to make sure that any loads and stores inside the critical section do not get reordered to before the lock was grabbed.

What do you mean? That loads and stores inside a critical section could, in fact, be reordered by the CPU and be executed before grabbing a lock?
> and now any mistake even if the kitchen goofed is now my mistake.

Funny, in my experience it's precisely the opposite.

It means I never have to feel awkward because there's no longer any uncertainty over whether I said the wrong thing or the server wrote it down wrong.

If the food or drinks come out wrong, there's irrefutable proof I ordered correctly, and it's the kitchen's job to fix it.

(And in my experience in restaurants, 95% of the time something has come out wrong, it's been the server's fault, not the kitchen's. So with QR ordering the problem almost goes away completely.)

I have been using DDG exclusively for more than 10 years now. Because of that I cannot really compare it to other search engines, but this is also to confirm that so far I have been able to find everything I needed.

I know there are some negative reviews here about DDG. I don't know, maybe it is more about getting used to it? I remember that I definitely had to adjust quite a bit, but now I almost always get what I need in the top 5(ish) entries. I'd argue it also got better recently, as I rarely see the SEO-spam as of late.

The only thing I am still not using DDG for is searching for local shops, etc. I use Maps or Tripadvisor. Same goes for some other specific topics - it is sometimes easier to use a dedicated app. Anything else, meaning some generic search on an arbitrary topic - DDG is OK, does its job. Not more, not less.

The 2 first accidents made it clear that this version of the 737 prioritized time-to-market over design (that’s why it needed the MCAS solution, a software patch for a hardware shortcoming.)
