Indeed - in German, verbs have:

- a gerund form which is always the same as the infinitive,

- a different gerund form (verb-'ung', kind of cognate to verb-'ing', both derived from a Latin construct I believe), and

- a present participle

...in addition to the other declensions. It's fascinating to me how Dutch and English can be seen as two parallel derivatives of the old High German language, where as what we now call German has developed along a largely different path!
A couple of similar, now-common scams I have experienced on Facebook Marketplace and eBay:

1) Buyer messages you, wanting local pickup, but claims they can't pick it up themselves and wants to prepay (but won't pay through Facebook or an eBay or Mercari link if provided). They ask you for your Zelle info. Then they'll tell you your Zelle isn't working and needs you to confirm it with them, you'll get a confirmation code, give it to them, and they'll have your Zelle account.

These scammers' accounts typically look legitimate but are often from other cities/countries with no relation to yours. They will engage you in complex conversation about arranging pickup but typically will disengage and block you if you tell them flatly that you do not accept prepayment via Zelle.

2) On eBay, as a buyer, scammers seem to have access to tracking numbers for nearby but not actually the same place. They'll ship things to you with an apparently legit tracking number, and when it never shows up, blame the shipper.

I have to say that I am not sure how this latter case is making money - eBay nearly always sides with the buyer in these kinds of disputes.

Note that this is unlike

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-Salt_Reactor_Experiment

in that the salt is just a coolant and the fuel is solid. The plant discussed in this paper looks like it uses pebble-bed TRISO fuel but there are many possible configurations such as

https://www.moltexenergy.com/

which uses a molten salt coolant to cool stainless steel fuel elements that are packed with a (nonmoving) fuel salt.
which implies that there are humans alive that are genetically as far apart from each other as the average human was from the average neanderthal (i.e. statistically there probably exists humans who's separation from each other is twice the average distance).
In case I wasn't clear (and on re-reading, I may not have been) I mean it shouldn't be advocated for as a means of primary heating. Of course if you need it as a back-up then get it. However, using it once in a while materially changes the economics involved in both mining (negatively) and heating/cooling (positively).
There are already several companies selling liquid biopsy tests for early stage cancer screening. Basically they look for cell-free DNA containing mutations highly correlated with cancer. Galleri is probably the biggest player in this space.

Modular is enabling all of the above for different audiences. MAX provides an operator-graph level abstraction like PyTorch or JAX have, and we expect a bunch of high level libraries like nn.module to get built out over time by the community. You can also go directly to the GPU with a classical CUDA-like programming model for maximal control.

In between we have something we're cooking that I think will be pretty interesting for GPU kernel authors, but it isn't public yet. :-)

The nice thing about this is that it is one system that scales, instead of a bunch of different/inconsistent tech built by different teams over many years, held together with duct tape. Simple and consistent makes it much easier to do the kinds of research and experimentation that power AI ecosystem.

The actual distance doesn't matter at all, only the apparent distance after taking into account the optics, your eyes can only see the latter. I don't know the number for the Vision Pro, but it's probably similar to most VR headsets at ~2 meters away, far better than most computer screens that people work at all day.
> There is a growing graveyard of games/devs suffering from bespoke engine woes instead of just using Unreal...

Is there? I can't think of any examples that come to mind. Most indie devs I know that roll their own engine have no regrets. I am curious who comes to mind that says otherwise publicly?
meanwhile, a woman from Japan came to visit the David Brower Center in Berkeley soon after the meltdown, because someone there had been recording TEPCO and National Radiation Levels info since the Fukishima events. Those recordings were in dispute, they did not match. There was intense national interest, international science poking in, and in fact the public records were in dispute.

The anecdote here only says "I thought the website was this, and it turned out to be that" .. so many ways that small bit can fail. Very significant world event with actual conflicting information..
This checks out! Pretty much exactly what we did in my undergrad Information Retrieval class.
What does virtualizing the list if it gets too long refer to?

Epic games has the potential to be the virtual Disney World - just available to everyone on the planet instead of those with enough money to visit a park IRL. Disney has a great flywheel where their IP drives content, toys, and experiences. This is just the latest experience, and it’s something they can’t build themselves.

I bet you can expect more content on fortnite to be with Disney IP; skins, events, maps, everything. It’ll be a great way to promote new movies/TV shows with cross-platform events. Fortnite has already had great luck with this sort of thing, so it makes sense for Disney to want access to it. Maybe you’ll even see IRL Fortnite experiences in theme parks or a Fortnite IP based movie or TV show.
The short version is that a regular corporation is required to operate in a way that maximizes shareholder profits; whereas a public benefit corp is allowed to take other factors into consideration too.
This is complete bullshit. We've sequenced neanderthal DNA and can tell exactly how much modern people have in common.

If you want to promote some scientifically-accurate racism, the only "pure-blooded" homo sapiens come from central and southern Africa, everyone else is just a little bit neanderthal.
Not trying to pour cold water, but the "3 requirements" post seems to address straw man problems. There are existing solutions to each problem.

1. "Deployment should be like calling a function" isn't that the mantra of serverless? e.g. GCP Cloud Run or AWS Lambda? This is also becoming much more streamlined with server-side WASM e.g. wasmCloud.

2. "Calling services should be easy" this is what protobuf is for; cross-language client libraries that handle transport, de-/serialization, native typing, etc.

3. "typed storage" isn't this basically an ORM? I suppose it's more general since it doesn't have to be relational, but ORM ideas could just as easily be adapted to JSON blob stores using something like protobuf.

Also, storing Unison code in a database, keyed by the hash of that code, sounds a lot like using Bazel with a shared remote cache.

I'm not saying Unison isn't cool, but to win me over I'd need you to compare Unison to all these existing technologies and really spell out what differentiates Unison and what makes it better.
The difference with today and blink is that it's open source and if there's a serious issue it will be forked. And has been, twice, in order to get to Blink.

If you don't keep track of the high-quality originals, how much do you really care about having the highest quality?

That's what I mean by "tweener" solution. You care a little about quality because you don't want to lose any more that you already have lost in your jpg, but not so much that you're keeping track of the high-quality originals. It's not nothing, but it's also not a big deal.

33M French affected by data breach of social security numbers
Assuming it's covariant with per-seizure asset size and overall false prosecution rate, yes. To believe otherwise, you'd need to believe that the U.S. population has either grown 50x or that we're doing roughly 50x more (asset-connected) crime per capita, which doesn't seem very likely versus the late 1980s.

(But again: this is a bad argument. People rightfully get mad about all kinds of terrible things that happen to one or two people at a time. They do that because they (1) can visualize it happening to them, and (2) have a sense of civic righteousness. We shouldn't need a mass violation of civil liberties to get fired up about wrongs, should we?)

That DirectX filter hack for PNG transparency haunts me.

What makes it so much worse is that Tasman, the engine used in IE for Mac, had awesome support for CSS, transparent PNGs, and more years earlier, but for some reason it got dumpstered when IE for Mac was discontinued while the inferior Trident lived on in Windows.

At -2.5, you probably don't get much shrinkage or aberration with your glasses, so they work better for you. For me, at -4 plus strong astigmatism, wearing glasses makes everything look tiny, and circles look like ovals... contacts are a better experience. That said I have tried over a dozen types of contacts over the years and it took me many many attempts to find both a product and a set of lens parameters that worked well enough for my eyes to want to switch from specs. Now I found that, I don't even own spectacles any more.
No idea why your comment is gray, but I agree. The site looks horrible. The text is so thin, it is almost unreadable (at least on macOS). Not to speak of the constantly changing visuals styles and fonts, which make the website feel like a mess, something a backend developer (no offense, not everybody has to be able to make nice looking landing pages) threw together in a day before the deadline.

> none of those languages are used as the primary business language anywhere in either China or Taiwan

我同意。

I was just trying to dig into what OP meant by "Taiwanese" as a language.

It's always going to be Mandarin for anything commercial.

That said, you can't deny the benefit the Hakka and Hokkien diaspora provided to China's manufacturing capacity - it was diaspora Chinese from Thailand (CP Group was the first foreign private company to incorporate in China), Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Taiwan had on PRC's catchup.
I wonder if Apple has any regrets about its battle with Epic... Seems like they could have been a great launch partner for the Vision Pro...

And to add to that, USA's 1st Amendment applies only to actions by the government. But this does mean that in other situations that redress is never available. It just may require more nuance or collective action, or conversely, even the willingness to let something go.

Ask HN: Best "entry tech" jobs to learn coding?
Hi all,

I'm curious as to which jobs (if any) someone would recommend if I'm learning how to code on the evenings and on weekends. At the moment I'm just doing it for fun, but it'd be nice if there was a potential route, long-term to get a job if I still enjoy it down the line. My current job is working as a Paralegal in a non-technical role.

I've been applying for other positions in a variety of industries (currently have an offer for a remote SDR role selling a SaaS product, but debating whether I should take it because it's just for the money and feel it could get quite time-intensive if I have to hit targets consistently).

Obviously I can't get "paid to learn" how to code but are there any entry-level jobs where I'd get general exposure that could aid/speed up my learning? (in any programming language) I guess working at a company with software developers could help (like the SDR has), but they might be remote/in other departments.

I've seen people recommend tech support at a small-mid startup or Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) - on the other hand I've seen others say that since you wouldn't actually be coding and as those jobs require a completely different mindset to a programmer, it wouldn't help.

So, I was wondering if anyone would agree with this/had other suggestions, or is a bootcamp more "practical" if I wanted eventually to turn it into a career (in the long-term, one day) or should I just continue self-teaching on my own, in the evenings/weekends.

I'm UK-based for what it's worth.
LLVM has an autovectorizer which is quite good, but such tech is limited because (eg) it can't change memory layout.

Speaking as someone who has spent more than 20 years writing compilers (e.g. LLVM, MLIR, etc), my opinion is that autovectorizers are a class of tech that are best applied to get speedups on legacy code bases. If you care about performance a lot, you shouldn't use them IMO - they are unpredictable and have performance cliffs.

I came to hate IE with every fiber of my being, but let's call a spade a spade here: IE basically invented modern CSS. Netscape 3/4 and IE 3/4 had very different views on how web pages should be dynamic and how they should be styled.

IE championed CSS and the DOM. Netscape was fixated on bgcolor, font tags, etc. Netscape introduced the <layer> tag. IE just made every tag a potential layer. Remember AJAX? Loading content from a script and injecting it into a page? That was 100% IE.

The issue wasn't that IE 5, 5.5, and 6 were bad when they came out. They weren't. Not one bit. They were absolutely the cutting edge. Then Netscape died, Microsoft had no more competition in the field, and so they basically just stopped. For years.

Mozilla (and shortly after, Firefox) prompted an eventual response, which was IE7: I minor update to an otherwise abandoned codebase. Once it was clear folks were seriously looking at dumping IE, IE8 followed shortly after. The CSS Acid Test showed how far IE had fallen behind, so IE9 and IE10 moved to stop the bleeding. IE 11 was the final release before Microsoft finally dropped the legacy IE baggage, aka the Trident engine. By that time Chrome had stormed the field, and Edge's renderer just couldn't keep up relative to the amount of money Microsoft was willing to pay. So they dumped their own engine and moved to Blink. (If you can't beat em…)

But let's be clear, between 1998 and 2003, IE was at the forefront. Its CSS support wasn't broken. It was the best and only. Its box model wasn't broken. There were no other box models to compare it to. You didn't need to give it separate CSS, because it was the only one around really to parse it. It didn't have non-standard AJAX support. It WAS the standard since no XMLHttpRequest object existed at the time.

You could write VBScript on a web page instead of JavaScript and have a >90% chance that client could run it. Flash didn't have to be bundled or installed separately, ActiveX just took care of it in the middle of your browsing session.

It was the Bronze Age of the web. IE was the one that moved us beyond stone tools. Later supplanted by Firefox and Safari's Iron Age, but still an important and arguably necessary step toward the modern web we know today, including the box model.
Given that the TDEE regression models generally predict what is necessary to maintain and not lose weight, it would not be surprising that a substantial lowering of calories over what is modeled for TDEE would be necessary to reduce weight.
Could Houthis sabotage undersea internet cables?
Consensus seems to be that it would be difficult for them to pull off, but this type of thing could be devastating for worldwide internet services in the future.

The internet's decentralized nature helps a lot to mitigate this risk, but this type of attack could hypothetically even hasten the switch to satellite-based services ala Starlink.
You code just use an existing search engine and it would be 0 LOC, but I think you're missing the point. The focus wasn't on 80 LOC, but rather being able to talk through it in a short blog post.

I agree - the authors of this paper don't seem to know anything about how rope is made.

Having said that... the tool does look like it could be used for processing and weaving fibres together.

As for "making a rope in 10 minutes"... why would anyone do that? A good rope is a multi-purpose tool that can last a very long time. You'd invest days in it, not minutes.
Maybe but they've been wanting to get in to gaming for a while now, so this is probably mostly about that.

It was as recently as 5 years ago I was able to do supporting legacy IE versions. Was so happy for it.

Various CSS and JS shims to get anything close to modern. Ugh. Not as bad as the v4 browser days, but close.

This will be a boon for Fortnite's licensed character business, Disney's merchandising business, Disney+'s content, and absolute downgrade/extortion for all Unreal users. Guaranteed.
All my life most people I encountered have a defeatist attitude about success, i.e. they attribute success to anything and everything other than their own choices.

One of my friends made and lost two fortunes, and was building a third when a brief illness tragically took him. He never lost his enthusiasm and optimism for going at it again. He rose far beyond his peers from his childhood, even having a couple WSJ articles about him.

It saddens me to read constantly in HN comments about how people are determined to convince others that one cannot succeed in America without wealth, luck, etc. It's all defeatism and nonsense.
