It’s hard for both candidates. Boeing is our only airline manufacturer and an American institution. If it shuts down all we have is an European Airbus and creates an opening for a Chinese COMAC.
Yes, I'm aware :) I actually built the first scrapscript demo in 2018, drawing on inspiration from Ethereum's Solidity. Somebody pointed me toward Unison when I attended Strange Loop in 2019, and I chatted with Paul Chiusano, and it seemed like Unison and Scrapscript had incompatible design goals. Even now, I don't see much overlap outside of content-addressability. Unison is super cool though, and I wish their team the best!

That's the whole point. The theory reduces to "if conditions are right life will happen" which moves the whole predictive power to the "conditions are right" and leaves the theory with 0 value added.
Dollar for Dollar funding of Public Defenders office would be a huge first step.

Well, if you don't think it should be under control of police or prosecution, who do you suggest needs to do it? The defense? A third party private contractor like Theranos? Who's going to be the ones validating whoever is decided can do the testing?
There was also the case where a DNA test of a woman's children showed that they did not share any of her DNA. Social Services was threatening to take them away from her. When she had another child, the court ordered an officer to be present during the birth and collect DNA from both of them at that time. Even still the DNA "proved" she was not the mother. It was only after another similar case was discovered that they were able to determine that she was a chimera, basically that she was her own twin, and had two different DNA strands.

I think that goes to the heart of it: I am not sure generals would necessarily be better at achieving the political objectives of what the military is for.

In the same way, I couldn't say if Boing would need something more closer to a priest or a technocrat.
Shocking discovery, instead of fighting the tools we can do the actual stuff.

edit: to be a bit positive, at least this is neatly presentable to managers who might want to axe DX improvement projects.
This pace of progress almost scares me.
They were in the wrong for thinking they could force someone to stop recording their faces in public. "Please don't record us. No? Okay. Have a nice day." The Chinese people need to learn to abide by the customs, rules, and etiquette of the countries they visit, work in, or live in.
I thought you meant never-ever. If you do what the highway code suggests as you describe, it sounds like you're a good defensive driver. I think you can see why I'm asking though, as there's a big difference between never breaking a traffic rule and making to a point to avoid doing so deliberately, especially the egregious ones.
Sequestration at scale isn't free and isn't proven technology. Carbon Capture and Storage is clearly a part of the picture for a carbon neutral economy, we are too late to do without it. But I don't think we have a full picture yet of the relative importance of sequestration vs syngas.
I am a farmer who spends my 9-5 writing websites, often in PHP. I'm the farthest you can get from a techbro, and you'll find no apology or regret here, because I don't care if you're offended by me being "unclassy". I have a position, and whinging about it is counterproductive.
If you assume that a tool like ChatGPT can add 30 minutes per day in office worker productivity and then estimate how many office workers there are worldwide and how much they get paid on average and assume Microsoft can maybe capture 10% of that value, then the market cap is not that crazy.
It's by google. It will rot somewhere, never to be used.
? "what I've noticed"...Google only indexing if a site has backlinks or is submitted by owner. Uh..yeah, how else would google know about a new URL? C'mon. This just seems like the usual SEO obsession/grift with some 'secret' way to get things done. It's straightfwd these days. Are you saying none of the pages you're queuing up are linked to each other? Most cases they would be in some way right? So the spider will start indexing them all based on a top url submission or a few key urls. Do event/job board sites really need all of their pages to be indexed immediately?
Because from a safety perspective, the amount of distracted / drunk / texting drivers who would've otherwise crashed their cars vs the amount of Tesla autopilot caused crashes is one for every 5.89 million miles (from their own website) vs about 500k for humans.

From a purely pragmatic perspective, Tesla's that occasionally and irregularly crash are a way better alternative than terrible human drivers.
Totally expected turn of events. Apple isn't giving up their 30% app revenue score without a fight.

This is identical to other article to charge up to 27% for non-App Store purchases: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39020365

In a world of stagnant hardware sales, Services is the only growing category for Apple. Say goodbye to AAPL stock prices if this gets serious eroded by sideloading apps, etc.
I recently launched a mini project and was shocked at how difficult and long it took to get any of its pages properly indexed on Google.

It's almost as if Google is actively trying -not- to index anything as a way to reduce spam, by forcing the people who really care to jump through 100 hoops.

A great way for the dark web remains dark.
What about compare to ArXiv Sanity Preserver?
I don't want to leave my editor to read an HTML page that has content that does not require javascript to display. I have no problem with js in a full-on web-browser, but up until 4 hours ago, Github displayed readmes and code listings without the need for javascript, so I could run it in the editor's web browser, which doesn't have a js engine.

I can do that via more complicated emacs web browsers that essentially render chrome in a buffer. But I shouldn't have to for things that are only text in the first place.
Ask HN: How to specify e2e tests you want to have auto-generated to AI agent?
Imagine you’d have an AI agent fine tuned to generate end-to-end tests. What would be your preferred way to tell the AI agent what test do you want?
A. Define your own test cases step for step in natural language
B. Choose from a curated list of test case descriptions
C. Use a test recorder
D. Anything else?

For disclosure - I’m doing market research for my company. We’ve developed an AI agent that generates Playwright tests automatically. We are refining the test delivery and your answers would really help. We ask devs who've worked with testing tools (code or no-code) about their preferred way to tell ‘a system that does the writing’ what do you want to test.
Aren't there requirements for being Hawaiian for buying land on the islands? Or at least, there are weird conditions around owning the property vs the land.
Having spent some time in academia I can tell you the answer - it's the cheating. The rise of science in developing and recently-developed countries where corruption is still endemic has led to there being a large cohort of students and "scientists' who think it's ok to cheat. This is a cultural thing - they're not bad people, and often not even bad scientists - they're just used to a society that operates like this. Don't take my word for it - look at the article and we see the following:

> Jack Ben, of a firm whose Chinese name translates to Olive Academic

> researcher and assistant professor in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Jordan.

> the company acts as a broker, sharing payments from the paper mills with multiple editors—including Omar Cheikhrouhou of Taif University in Saudi Arabia and the University of Sfax in Tunisia.

> A Ukrainian paper mill dubbed Tanu.pro

> While he was visiting his parents in India last summer, a Dr. Sarath of iTrilon reached out to him on WhatsApp, offering authorship of “readymade papers” with “100% Acceptance Guarantee.”

> in Russia and several ex-Soviet countries, for example, policies focused on publication metrics, coupled with a culture of corruption and the transition to market economy

This culture is slowly corrupting scientific journaling itself as an undertaking, firstly because established journals will end up employing some of these people (as in the article), but more importantly because as mentioned, it's a culture problem and who doesn't want easy money and guaranteed quid-pro-quo publication when all your friends are doing it? After all, you're not a bad person and I'm sure your science is fine.
It's the original PR title. Hong Kong is not "physically" "in" "China" in the same sense as a computer which is physically, or legally, in China, and therefore subject to Great Firewall rules.
No it isn't beyond lazy, it's a more efficient use of my time. If I want in depth language features explained then I read the documentation. If I want to be reminded of specific syntax as rapidly as possible then I'll keep using ChatGPT and save tons of time over the course of a week. And if you refused to even google in such scenarios beforehand then that is a really, really inefficient use of time.

Side-note to your side-note: No. Stop acting like some holier than thou elitist. You're coming off as a luddite.
Everyone who runs Node runs untrusted code (depending on your definition of untrusted). No one I’ve ever worked with made an effort to review the source of the thousands of dependencies they were slinging around.

My personal experience actually maps to this exactly and, when I’ve encountered it, it’s been a far more predictable rule than I would have thought. This is anecdotal I know, and I’ve even looked up the science on this and it seems like isn’t as black and white as my experience would indicate.

But by now I’ve actually asked this of prob 20-30 people. All of them who came to the US before 12 (or attended American international schools overseas) had no accent. And all of them except two who had come here at 14 or later had at least a hint of an accent. There are the few like the one Hungarian I met who had no English other than spending 3 months in the US and whose English was so spot on I actually thought he was American.

In my experience it does seem that there’s something about the brain’s plasticity that changes around 13ish. For example, I started programming young and also had took physics early at my local college and seem to internalize those much better than, for example, the follow-on physics course I took later on.

But if anyone knows the science better feel free to correct me! A neuroscientist I am not…
The game is only fun if the wagering and outcomes follow a normal distribution. If "one guy" starts turning a profit, its only a matter of time before his method is discovered and replicated. Over time, this decreases the payouts for all the other bettors, removing the enjoyment of sometimes winning.

Reason #2 is if they see someone consistently making money, they have to assume that person is rigging the race somehow, even if they can't prove it. Sure they want you to play, win, and have fun. But they dont want you to do it as a career. That exposes them to liability: say a jockey/owner/trainer sues the track after rigged races were discovered. They could point to a professional gambler and say "you should have known that this guy was involved because he turned an enormous profit over time. You turned a blind eye to fraud, profited from it, at our expense. we want damages".

Third reason is they dont want people selling their "systems", which only leads to problems and fraud. Someone who won a lot (or appeared to always win) could show others at the track and say "I'll let you in on this system too, for a price".

Fourth reason would be anti-money-laundering. Even if you (somehow) found some rinky-dink "system" that made a nominal amount of money, higher-level criminals would absolutely jump on it to launder drug proceeds.
It will also help Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and other military contractors as well.

Pigs have a diet similar to us so their digestive system and related metabolic systems are pretty similar.

That's one reason why their feces are so offensive compared to real herbivores like horses or cows or carnivores like cats and dogs.

It is as close to hardware as your userspace program is allowed to get.

There is definitely a whole bunch of lower layers, but you cannot really get to them, so I think it's pretty fair to call C "a lowest layer language for userspace after assembly". And probably for kernel programming, too - C gets into implementation-defined behavior when there are MMUs involved, but that's not a big practical problem.

(if you work at Intel and have access to secret microcode definitions than C is not a high level language... but cases like this are super rare)

Longevity refers to battery degradation over time, and cost refers to the cells themselves.
At this point, with any new model I think it makes sense to wait until you can run the model on your own input before making any assumptions based on cherry picked examples.
It's not your imagination, it's science (although it does depend on the other variables). The temperature of water changes the extraction of dissolved and undissolved solids from the bean into the water, and water changes whether oils, esters, acids, etc are folded or not, which is what we perceive as flavor (aroma combined with the 6 tastes). It's unlikely that only a few degrees would be perceptible by most people, but for supertasters, with the right coffee, it's possible.
Granting that this analysis is correct (it seems to be disputed), 36 seconds to play from deep in your own territory with an 8-point deficit is a far cry from a guaranteed win. If the Lions had kicked a successful field goal instead of punting, that would be an 11-point deficit.

Claiming that the Bucs lost because of this error is way off, they almost certainly would have lost anyway.
Apple didn't invent the GUI. Neither changed anything on the desktop users. Windows 95 on top of DOS curb-stomped Apple except on written/recorded/created media production, which did great on the G4 days for instance, and for a while with the G5. Then, with the Core Duo, Apple lost the battle against Intel. Also, lots of libre competition such as Krita and Blender are doing great remarks.
Macs are not that "special" any more compared to your i7 PC with a good video card. Even Intel integrated cards have an awesome price for what they do.

Android dominates the smartphone world. Windows PC's are nearly everywhere, but today most people can work remotely over an RDP session over the browser. And the rest of networked infra runs under Linux 90% of the time. Yes, even for online gaming servers to be played as clients under Windows.
"Trust the science" always must be taken with a grain of salt.

With python, it's more about simplifying the entire process (a.k.a. making it pythonic). In my experience, it tends to be a wrapping mechanism around some binary or api so it's hard to pin point "an exact script everyone runs". Some are clean up scripts that clear out caches manually (until a fix can be pushed), others (like this one https://gitlab.com/sunset-crew/nextrelease) wrap git so you don't need to remember all the things associated with pushing a release and/or tag. Ansible, though it's made in python it's kinda it's own langauge, might be a good place to look if you want scripts that are generic enough for everyone to use.
I've written for teams and myself.
I agree that for example Malcolm X and MLK were in large part allies in the Civil Rights Movement, but that is no reason to gloss over their differences. There is obviously a marked difference between the expressed non-violence of Gandhi and MLK vs the militancy of Malcom X and Fanon, the latter who, among other things wrote how "at the level of individuals, violence is a cleansing force" [0].

He goes on to justify terrorism against civilians, simply for their inadvertent sharing in the profits of oppression. This line of argumentation did not only justify terrorism in the anti-colonial struggle, it is the hallmark of all terrorists everywhere.

I find it insidious, if not uncommon, to claim that pacifist struggle is somehow dependent on violence, that non-violent struggle is only "effective because of a radical movement with the will to violence at its flank". As if violence, or the threat of it, is the only force that can cause movement. There is no such requirement for a non-violent struggle, there are plenty of other pressures beyond violence that can be applied, as MLK demonstrated. Violence is in fact the laziest and most cowardly solution in comparison, one that gives up on human ingenuity and creativity and simply utilizes our basest instincts.

Fanon may or may not have addressed these points in his writing; I confess to having read only "The Wretched of the Earth", and that was quite a few years ago, and at the time bought his arguments, lock, stock, and barrel.

But regardless of his arguments, he was of a different age, one where armed struggle was a thing of outrage and awe. It is a different world now: an age where any teenager can, and do, start a murderous massacre without anyone hardly lifting as much as an eyebrow, and the whole world stands on the precipice of a disastrous nuclear war by pure accident because of our subservience to violence as the only way of solving conflict. The context has shifted and we need other methods than the barrel of a gun. I submit that Gandhi and MLK can be inspirations, if not directly copied.

Apple wins early battle vs. NSO after suing spyware mercs for attacking iPhones
Original title edited for length:

Apple wins early battle against NSO after suing spyware mercenaries for attacking iPhone users
This is a very long article which seems to just reveal the author doesn't understand the difference between percentages and percentage points.

50% to 62.5% in the simplified calculation is a 25% improvement, not a 12.5% improvement. It's a 25% improvement on already low odds (after all, nobody is actually saying that it's 100% probability that your D will stop the next drive and then you will score another touchdown. It's just assuming that those things have to happen either way so the odds cancel out, and this is looking at win probability assuming that those things happen). Laura's calculations, for a similar scenario (4 possessions remaining), projects the overall probability of winning going from 11.2% -> 12.9%, which is a 15% improvement, roughly the same order of magnitude as the simplified example. I don't have the exact breakdown for a two-possession scenario, but in her slideshow she says this, which seems to be what the author is citing:

> If down by ...16 (before the 6 TD points), the strategy improves the win probability by <1%.

But I am convinced she is talking about absolute percentage points here (e.g. 10% to 10.9%), not a <1% change (e.g. 10% to 10.09%). Why? Because the slide has this before it:

> Rationale: if you are down by 15, you have to score two touchdowns while keeping your opponent from scoring

She is demonstrating that it's not a silver bullet given it's exceedingly unlikely you will win anyway.
If the winning chance is higher then yes.

I don't understand the point of the article.
If G42D8 increases the chance of winning it's the way to go.

Doesn't matter how much the increase is as long it's an increase.

What the probability of losing if you don't G42D8?
You are right, that one.
>...platforms should be held responsible for the ads they run.

Yes!
If the platform hosts its ads on its own platform, then I'm OK with that. I don't like ads, but they 'own' the ad content and if it blows, there's no one else to point finger at.

Show an ad from some 3rd party and I have no qualms in blocking that.
> I assume if you trail by 8 and you scored a TD, you’d either tie or trail by 2

Or trail by 4, if you really botch it up.
If you click through to the source that Wikipedia is citing [1], you can see that it's counting 1st and 2nd generations, and are indeed categorised as "people with a migrant background" ("met migratieachtergrond").

It also shows that 1.889.704 people (10.74%) have a non-Dutch European background.

Also note that these numbers are about people currently here. The percentages will be different if you look at movements in the past year.

I think the searches need to be done with full body camera back up to be sure. This would be an attempt at my partner planting evidence when arriving at the location for me to find. It also should find the situations where the person that planted the evidence from suggesting for someone else to look where he planted it. Of course, this does nothing for planting evidence before the search, but would hopefully stem the opportunity a bit.
The data isn't much different in my state where 95%+ of criminal convictions end in a deal.

It takes time for true quality to become apparent. Unfortunately the human who produced the work is long dead by then.

If humans ever started living much longer, we'd probably see a different attitude towards work.
I think you have to buy organic produce in the US to match the quality of the non-organic produce in Europe. Whole Foods is the largest retailer of organic produce in the US.
To copy from my comment deeper in the chain [1], from the same source:

Non-Dutch European (10.74%)
Dutch (74.77%)

Of course, these are people that are currently in the Netherlands. Obviously when it comes to migrants (which I was talking about), the percentage of Dutch people will be lower, and the other percentages will be higher.
