Its not, though.

> Each theft event is a singular event composed of one or possibly multiple items being stolen.

Even if you ignore that the arrest rate likely isn't consistent between the two groups, that doesn't make the arrest proportion “accurate in the sense of oroxinate cause” unless you assume also that the organized vs. disorganized arrested parties are responsible for the same number of theft events per individual.

All the proportion of individuals arrested in the theft ring vs. not actually tells you is the proportion if individuals areested. It doesn't tell you the proportion of “theft events” or the proportion of $ valie of theft or anything else.

This whole article is kinda weird.

These are apps that already are installed, the user chose to get notifications ... yes so when the notification runs the app runs and some telemetry is collected.

Cat is out of the bag already.

I'm concerned about this whole topic too but man that article is hard to read and really just kinda states the obvious. Why it is focused on notifications is sort of beyond me. There's nothing presented to say that users don't know that the notification from the app is ... the app.

It also seems like you have to interact with the notification for any of this to happen. That's not surprising as that usually leads to the app that you already have / know is there and so on, and now you interacted and opened the app. If you're opening facebook notifications, you have facebook installed, you likely logged in ... so yes there's tracking going on.

Article seems to imply this is some extra level sneaky way for apps to collect data but it doesn't seem to be that way anyway.
I’d play that game.
Sorry, I got confused. I just looked back at old HN discussions, and it was Croc with the security issues, not Magic Wormhole.
The interesting part to me was that the author spent 20+ years traveling around, and started to reduce the distances only "in recent years".

How long will they keep enjoying these distance limited, more local discoveries ? Will they progressively expand back and buy a boat when their kids leave home ? I don't know if people who fundamentaly enjoyed change will be able to fit in a box for the rest of their life.
This may come as a surprise to you, but one of the coasts with several population centers is also out west.

In China you have a lot of SOA (State Owned Enterprises) and entire sectors loosely under the CCP thumb.

So 50% of income going back into banks which then direct capital as the CCP sees fit.. more export oriented growth.

This is very different than the US model.

In the US ~95% of income goes into spending which flows into private enterprises which make operational cost, capital cost, and saving decisions on their own.

The US model is more decentralized. We have to create incentives and schemes like IRA and Opportunity Zones to get private individuals and companies to deploy capital where the government prefers, and even then it only works on the margins.

When this was announced my question was "is Microsoft buying Call of Duty or are they buying Activision-Blizzard?" CoD is a reliable cash cow and driver for consoles with an annual game release. It makes a lot of money.

Activision-Blizzard owns a lot of valuble IP that they could absolutely further monetize. It remains to be seen if Microsoft has the vision or desire to capitalize on that. There is a huge gap with Blizzard IP mostly not being on consoles.

It's worth noting that Microsoft just became the second $3 trillion market cap company. Yet we still have the same old playbook of raising prices and cutting costs, employees be damned.

I do wonder if Microsoft will try and replace artists with AIs to further save costs.

I'm more of a T530 fan. It's the last 15" Thinkpad that doesn't have a numeric keypad taking up space, and I've seen it reported that it is also the last one that IBM had a hand in designing.

Some folks have successfully integrated the T25 keyboard into T480 machines, which is definitely in the realm of a clever hack.

The most trivial schema with a parent-child relationship either has foreign key constraints or update anomalies. There's no way to "sanely create" a normalized schema that doesn't have such relationships.

Performance impact may or may not matter. You don't discard valuable techniques and decades of experience for a "might happen." You measure and identify actual performance and adjust with facts. All indexes have both a performance benefit and a performance cost, incurred in the first case when selecting, and in the second case when updating. The performance benefit and cost of foreign keys comes from the index created. You get protection from update anomalies almost for free.
I think you are confusing large language models with diffusion models.

> Usually when we select from a relational table, we select properties. In SQL, the drawer is not a thing

Ah but that’s by convention! If we want to be super pedantic, they’re all just relations. The drawer table describes a relation between values. And SELECT just defines a new relation! You’re creating an ad-hoc “table”.

That’s why “SELECT socks FROM (SELECT socks, pants FROM drawer)” works just fine.

Ok yes my brain has definitely been broken by years of SQL. I’m not the right person to understand newbies anymore.
On page 4 of "A Critique of Modern SQL And A Proposal Towards A Simple and
Expressive Query Language" [0] (recently published at CIDR 2024) there's a great diagram covering this and many other "semantical ordering" confusions with SQL. It's an interesting paper in general, by a couple of the biggest names in modern database research (...though admittedly perhaps not language design).

Something like 'SaneQL' (which the paper introduces) deserves to succeed outside of the lab. Source is here [1].

I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I wish they had placed an ad for placemark on geojson.io.

I had no idea this existed until just now but I’ve worked at two companies where a lot of coworkers could have benefited greatly from a map app that has a few more features than geojson.io but is less complex than qgis/arcgis.
This reminds me of the Pirate Bay. They were so sure they could get away with doing what they were doing, because the law didn’t specifically prohibit it. In the end though, it turned out that the judges had common sense and could distinguish between trying to not break the law and trying to circumvent it. I expected Apple to have more mature leadership than that.
I just played Diablo 4 season 3 (which launched a couple days ago) for a bit, and sadly I have to agree. It's such an empty, soulless game. Reminds me of Starfield, regurgitated sameness.

Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn, etc. are all so much better, and made by tiny studios (though sometimes backed by Tencent, like with PoE).

With the AAAs focusing only on safe sequels, maybe LLMs taking over would be a good thing, lol. At least maybe we'll get better writing and game design that way. Even ChatGPT has more passion than Blizzard now...
Hey, thanks for downloading and for the feedback! The Terms of Service is a tricky one - I know most people don't read it, but we did try to summarise the most important points, rather than just having a tiny link that will no one will click. Thanks for pointing out the typos.

On open source / free - I would love to be able to give access to the whole thing for free, but unfortunately it's just not sustainable. The free version is very good though, with unlimited use and learning modules. Even with a universal basic income + health insurance, there's no way to fund, grow and release a medical device without some kind of monetisation - and grant companies and investors would definitely expect some kind of business plan. I'm not sure there would be any benefit from open source in this case? It just means it wouldn't get to market as a medical device.
Reminds me of all of the classic cars that were wrecked in TV shows and movies. Before CGI when actual people did real stunts.
If you love Starcraft just a quick reminder that the Korean Brood War scene is still going strong, and is now getting bigger. BW is a near perfect game and it's clear with how they handled SC2 "Blizzard" is not going to make anything close to BW ever again. I would highly recommend checking it out if you love Starcraft. For starters, Artosis casts a pro-level ladder game every day on this channel:

If you like that, the main BW tournament is called ASL and happens a couple times a year. The next one should be starting relatively soon.
Likewise with our Canon laser, but at least it prints. It's been running on an "empty" cartridge for a year now. I don't mind an (inaccurate) effort to indicate the level of the consumables, so long as the system doesn't lock up once the controller decides it's out of toner.
I did not know what kind of Bubble AI is so I asked it and posted its answer to get a second opinion and also so it won't feel like we are talking about it behind its back.
>We don't know who invented slavery and we'll never know but when European explorers arrived they did not introduce the concept.

Wrong; the System of Racism as it is known today is entirely an invention of White European Countries. Prior to their institutionalizing of Racism on pseudo-scientific lines it was merely simple enslavement of the loser by the victor on a case-by-case basis. Also not all Countries/Kingdoms engaged in this. It is only with the expansion by Europeans that the idea of "Races" some of which were considered inferior by birth/definition because of skin color(black/brown/yellow/red), facial features(Caucasian/Negroid/Mongoloid), lack of understanding of native cultures(civilized/uncivilized), etc. became Systematized/Institutionalized and given legitimacy using what we know today as pseudo-science.

> Nor did they introduce war, superstition, poverty, starvation or inequality.

But they increased it exponentially, devastating entire countries/civilizations/cultural groups/social groups/etc. Much of the mess in the World today particularly in Africa, Middle East and South Asia has its genesis in their colonial past.
There are places were people aren't so inclined to steal in the first place. I'd say the difference is a cultural one.

I think that system is helpful on average but between YOShInOn and I we are already rewriting headlines to conform to HN requirements and expectations. Thus in the cases that our headlines are rewritten it is likely to be some failure case like decapitalizing an acronym.
There are also several examples of software outperforming drivers. Yet here we are with a growing suspicion of self-driving cars.

There's no extreme correct. The correct future is a blend of software and human control, with, I suggest, a bias towards software in well-structured areas, and a strong bias towards huamns elsewhere. And it's humans after all that would structure the world for software. That's fine, it's how it's always been with machines. We just don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater when we lose trust in "AI".

> the thrill of a new relationship goes away pretty quickly

A few minutes ago, I hugged my wife (one of the simple pleasures of WFH!) and after remarking how good it always felt to do that, jokingly said, "after all this time, shouldn't I be indifferent to you?"

We've been together for 22 years.

She replied, "it's probably because I have a million different personalities."

Maybe to get that refresh it isn't necessary to meet a new person. Just to see the same person in a different way.

The "publisher" takes all of the financial risk. That's part of the deal. I would never use a website that said "you pay us, but if you have payment problems, you have to take that up with the product manufacturer". The aggregator has to take enough off of the payment in order to insure their business, just like they have to take enough off of the payment in order to afford any of their other capital (salaries, utilities, rent, etc).

I'm assuming you have doubts about the practical feasibility of charging "that much". But it has, historically, been one of the best cost-to-compensation models ever created, with entire industries being built around enshrining an ever-more predatory pricing structure that funnels more and more of the product profit to a small council of investors.
Yeah, I reached that point in the article and had to go back to make sure I read correctly. In what world was it "all original hardware?" And what is the point of this test if components are going to be gradually replaced as they fail? Why not just burn the logic board and drop in a new one? Smash the CRT and buy a replacement? smh
It seems inevitable we’ll also be able to run LLMs locally, which would make this type of feature more appealing.

It does today, but the whole point of the AI would be to remove that subjectivity. Offside would be whatever the AI said is offside. Not saying this would necessarily be a good thing for the game, but it would remove the slow video review process and let referees instantly call goal/no goal.
Nvidia Reverses Course on Donation Matching for Gaza Charities, Causing Rift
IBM sold its PC division to Lenovo in 2005, so your timeframe correlates with the laptop division no longer being part of IBM.

Not that Lenovo is a bad company persay, but IBM was historically a company that focused on corporate sales and Lenovo is a company that seems to target the consumer market. As far as I can see, individual consumers are much more price sensitive than corporations. That would explain the steady decline in quality.

I'm certainly not an expert, so there are probably other valid explanations. Unicomp bought IBM's keyboard manufacturing division (or at least the equipment used to build model M keyboards), and experienced a decline in quality simply due to (allegedly) not updating the old tooling until fairly recently.

FAO: People who're claiming GenAi will replace artist jobs.

It might happen but it's extremely difficult even using state of the art models like stable diffusion v6 to get consistent results. There's usually some part or the other of the picture that's broken and it takes a lot of work with prompting, blending, varying to get it to work.

Buy the subscription for 30$ or whatever and give it a shot. First you'll be amazed but then you start noticing the minor flaws and how much effort it takes to make it good enough.

It's still possible that some jobs will get replaced, not every NPC detail needs to be hand drawn perfectly, but let's see.
I wasn't arguing that the speeding was necessary for safety or accident avoidance, but rather that if you put 20% of new cars onto New England highways that are posted at 55 mph and they're governed to 65 mph, that you're going to create an utter shitshow of unsafe speed differentials as the 80% of traffic that's moving at a prevailing 75-85 mph encounters these new rolling roadblocks with the accelerator matted and governed to 65 mph.

Is the purpose of the syntax to maximize human readability or to make parsing efficient?

SELECT/DELETE/INSERT etc. are commands, it makes sense to me that if I were writing a parser I would start with the imperative that will determine the rest of the path through the parser.

Meanwhile, Kagi is "let's make a search engine for power users willing to pay for it".
They're not here to take on Google. They're not here to grab public funding.
They're making a product for which people are willing to pay.
They deliver on absolutely everything they say. Proof is in the pudding.

I'm a happy Kagi user/customer for a few months now, but what I find the most satisfying is not the website itself, it's how they are building it.

While every big company is falling for the _enshitification_ of their products, seeing Kagi doing the exact opposite, and yet being clear that their goal is to take our money each month, is honestly quite refreshing.
