If anyone has additional recommendations of exceptionally well designed e-commerce sites, please share them. I’m looking to build a collection focused on the segment.
I think there's a deeper issue around paying customers being assumed to be businesses. I have a paid Google account for just one reason - using a custom domain with Gmail. This lets me have a wildcard email address, but more importantly, it gives me the ability to move my email address to a different provider if my Google account got caught in an automated system and blocked, so I wouldn't lose access to all the services I've used that email address to sign up with.

If there was a way I could continue to just have a regular personal Google account, but pay an extra fee to use a custom domain with it, I'd much prefer to do that than maintain an enterprise Google Workspace setup with only a single user in it, just for this one feature.
The key exchange was/is totally custom without using anything standard, though it uses standard concepts (DH, though it does some non-standard things with it), which *might* be secure, but as far as I know, never actually put to the test.
Even if you don't run the simulation at all, you can't hold the state of a single moment of the simulation in this universe, if you need more bits to do so than are available.

I don't understand how it might even be possible to get around that by "trading space for time". Can you expand on that, at all?
In this blog we will see a step-by-step guide of what goes behind a successful pentest. This not only includes the technical aspects but also the business and legal aspects of it.

If you’re tasked with the responsibility for getting your organisation's app or website's pentest done, this blog would definitely help you navigate the waters easily.
Hopefully next time the tech market is in an upswing, we can unionize?
I still don’t get what they’re trying to say. The more parts of your brain that are able to interact with one another, the more likely you are to be diagnosed with ADHD?
Quick answer: In YAML I can’t define a reusable function, and sometimes I wish I could, for example.

Whatever gobbledygook you’re writing to specify how your system works, a programming language is better than a markup file.
Depends what you mean by "go there", and whether they are in a simulation.

Consider that if we're in a simulation, we're code, and an "escape" would involve getting out of a sandbox and perhaps being able to access their version of the Internet, and move around in it.

In that sense we might well be able to "go there".

Now imagine they're in a simulation, in which case their entire corporeal experience is code. There'd be nothing inherently making it impossible for us to escape our sandbox and theirs and find a way to give ourselves bodies in "their" simulation in that case.

Of course we're now firmly in science fiction - the odds rapidly stacking up against it [in fact, I have bunch of half-baked notes on a short story collection based on the premise of stacked simulations and increasingly weird scenarios around that...]

But that's what makes it a fun thought experiment.
Oh wow, wanted to write "that does not exist", but finally found it unexpectedly under "configure website toggling". Thanks, that will remove a big annoyance if it works :D
Why is RAG a horrible hack? LLMs can draw from only 2 sources of data: their parametric knowledge and the prompt. The prompt seems like a pretty good place to put new information they need to reason with.
There’s a French live action Beauty and the Beast which was rereleased in the US to take advantage of the hype around Disney’s remake - and it’s actually darn good for a $5 supermarket checkout movie.

Disney sued nobody.
Is MWI falsifiable in any way?
In addition just realized it thinks Apple is only one syllable.
Failed a technical interview since I "didn't think like a programmer"
Erm yes, there is proof in science.

Despite the fact, that nothing is 100% certain, you come up with a hypothesis and test them and verify or dismiss them. This is fundamentally different to religion, where believe and not proof is required.

And if you find, there are convincing hypothesis for the simulation theory, that can be scientifically tested, please go test them. If you are succesful, you will convince people. I am not saying it is impossible, I am saying I see no experiment, that can proof or disproof it. But I am open to be convinced with good arguments.
I imagine the window still shatters but keeps together instead of spraying glass everywhere.

Frozen is just Norwegian propaganda and you’ll not convince me otherwise.

I wonder if anyone has worked out the actual dollar effect it is has had on Norwegian tourism.
Ok. We'll try to clarify the situation in the README. Thanks for the feedback!

Cannot be disproved, cannot be verified and has no implications, even in theory. It is an academically interesting topic but nothing more.

I mean, say you're a committed Muslim and then one day you discover that the universe is completely simulated. That wouldn't require you to change any of your beliefs at all. God, heaven, hell, and all the good things are probably part of the simulation too so you still have to live like always.
So many scroll hijacking ones...
Pumped hydro may work better with wind than with solar.

Consider the mismatch between supply and demand as a function of time; it has a Fourier transform with components at different frequencies (this is completely separate from the frequency of AC current in the system, please note). Some storage technologies are more suitable for different frequencies and different average charging times. Form's iron-air batteries, for example, would be suitable for frequencies an order of magnitude lower than Li-ion batteries. Operating a combined system with multiple storage technologies may at times involve discharging one to charge another.
Sure maybe. What do they know though? my email, name, and I went to mcdonalds? is this valuable information?

Someone else in this comment section said it, but I think it's more about a way to do price discrimination. They can still sell at a lower margin to more price sensitive customers through the app, and get higher profit from people who don't care about the higher prices.
JSX is not XML, it is Javascript. The point of XAML (and this JSON thing) is to build declarative UI that can be authored and displayed without evaluating something like Javascript.

For that use case, I do not believe JSON is any worse than XML for authoring, but really you want some sort of GUI for it. Programmers, especially those living in terminals, tend to hate such stuff, of course.
That's not the definition of a flop though
Really? What about "look how clever the Indians/ natives are?" Not everything is racism. A similar result occurs every time something like this is tried regardless of race. Countless examples including in the U.S. and yeah people will run scams like this even if the scam is convoluted and twice as much work as doing the honest thing.
is there an API? if so, how expensive is it to use?
None of which are the UK, Australia or NZ.
Original article is now ironically crashed, but: my last job was working on a point-of-sale system which used this kind of append-only transaction system and a "crash and reboot on failure" model. Every button press got turned into one or more transactions. This had the nice property that if something failed, most of the time it was before anything got written, so the system would reboot and leave you back on the screen before your last button press. The state could also be shipped over to the developer's PC so you could repro that state under the debugger. There had to be a "detach account" getout clause for cases where the sequence of transactions caused a crash on load, which was rare but possible.

The hardest part was of course managing external state and journaling exactly where you had got to with external transaction APIs. Further backend reconciliation was available to flag this (and avoid Post Office scenarios).

Note that French NF525 almost mandates this design, at least for point-of-sale systems: every financial transaction has to be durably written for tax auditing purposes.
It would be a bummer IMO to see XSLT abandoned. Its still a really interesting approach to the web and an alternative to today's JS-heavy client rendering.

The idea of being able to ship an XML template with basic logic like for loops alongside the actual XML data source is really unique today. If people cared to use XML at all, that really does cover quite a few use cases that we current reach for JSON + client JS today.
> We only fall back to creators because we can't imagine that something, or some set of rules, or some arbitrary process, or whatever might Just Exist.

Is this to say that we simulate creators? From where I sit, people on both sides seem[1] absolutely sincere that their version of "reality" is the correct one.

[1] To check, try disagreeing with a few from either side, ask what proof they read before adopting the belief, etc.
Ask HN: How do you deal with LLM as a source of indecision?
I’ve been having trouble deciding what to delegate to LLMs and what to do myself.

For example, recently I’ve been reading the Bash manual trying to learn how to use it more effectively, but occasionally I’ll ask ChatGPT to generate the script for me and it usually works fine. So I start to think maybe my time is better spent learning something else.

Or when I’m developing a new component in react, often times I’ll ask ChatGPT to generate and then i’ll spend so much time tweaking or fixing the generated code, unsure if the time is better spent writing it from scratch.

Do you suffer from the same analysis paralysis? How do you decide what’s worth learning and what should just be punted to LLMs?
I see this as nothing more than custom built NTP that suits them. For the general public, I think NTP is still most suitable.
So they should be researching LFTR like they did for the nuclear bomber.
I built a completely useless ai phone bot. You call it and ask it a question, and it responds with an answer that always involves sandwiches.

It adds no value beyond entertainment, but I suppose it does do that.
Does it depend on what type of simulation? For example, if it’s an optimization problem, couldn’t you tell statistically by looking at macroscopic events?
We now self-host our support email
I guess op may be envisioning an end-to-end solution that can train a model in the context of an external document store.

I.e.
One day we want to be able to backprop through the database.

Search systems face equivalent problems. The hierarchy of ML retrieval systems are separately optimized (trained). Maybe this helps regularize things, but, given enough compute / complexity, it is theoretically possible to differentiate through more of the stack.
Can it read information from images, like GPT-4V / ChatGPT+?
Can you explain why it's not? Are you seriously proposing that if you were in a trolley problem choosing between saving the life of a random human you know nothing about and a random mouse you know nothing about, you would have difficulty making the decision?
Tufte is really nice but requires a custom font, which IMO is no longer minimal.

And totally agree with black text on white.
I guess it really must depend a lot on where you are then, because in my experience of my corner of Europe, lots of companies have had significant layoffs, jobs hunting is getting harder and raises have not at all kept of with inflation.
Come come now, you know what would make you feel better? Let's open some loot crates.
#1 rule - Never pickup a call, email or text from someone you don't know. Check later in a calm and collected environment and manage - Nothing significant will happen if you don't. Bank calls? Contact your bank using a known source - Very simple steps to take but very powerful.
Exactly one reservoir (or a number of tiny ones not worth mentioning), because even all the way from Richland to Portland there is hardly any elevation drop.
Cars (autonomous or not) do not belong in densely urban areas. Let’s finally put an end to the car centric transportation experiment as it has failed on a massive scale.

Children death rates largely attributed to vehicle related accidents [1]

Trucks/SUVs are also a large contributor to GHGs [2]. Anecdotally, the number of solo commuters I see in SUVs/trucks/“crossovers” is way too fucking high. Truck owners largely hauling air. Maybe see 1-2 trades people on the road.

US cities need to follow in the same footsteps as Paris. A ban of large personal vehicles in dense urban cities by making it expensive and as inconvenient as possible. High hourly parking rates. High penalties. Ear mark this money for purposes of removing car centric infrastructure and improving alternative transportation mechanisms.

Teaching computers to speak: the prosody problem
Much of Europe is giving support; but decades of US military support has resulted in our stockpiles being rather depleted, and supplies to Ukraine have so far been from stockpiles, not new manufacture.

Russia presents a threat to Europe that it doesn't present to the USA. Europe needs to tool-up. I say this as a former pacifist.
> Bluesky is optimised to be able to aggregate likes across billions of tweets

That might be part of the problem. It's self-evident why you need to do that if you're building Facebook or Twitter (a single platform where all the communication happens across a single graph), but that seems counter to how federation works (where everyone's social graph is different).
One possible explanation is that companies try to avoid discrimination lawsuits by laying off employees in a way that provides plausible deniability of discrimination.

That tends to mean broad sweeping layoffs that select whole orgs, functions, lines of business or locations.

Often that means rehiring (sometimes the same people) to rebuild what was lost by some broad sweeping blind decision.

There’s also some gaming that goes on beforehand to protect key people by shifting them around to get them out of the selection group.

So yes, opaque and senseless may have been a purposeful strategy.
You can't prove unknowable things, but you can have bayesian arguments about their probabilities.

For some people it's meaningless, for others it's interesting to speculate.
Land is a finite resource that nobody created. Would you be offended if someone claimed to own a cubic kilometer of the sky and declared nobody else could use it without paying him?
Does fine tuning it on a set of docs in your “knowledge base” help for generalizing it so it can answer questions pertaining to new documents that come in (with a “similar” style/structure but with different content/fscts)?

> held to a much higher standard from a legal perspective

Get yourself a consistent worldview. Anything else is susceptible to the principle of explosion.
The problem is that we have no idea what the physics is off the 'real world'. There is no rule at all that says 'physics inside the simulation' must obey some 'real world physics' also. Nothing. Because we don't have any knowledge of the relationship between the simulation and the 'real'.

The world in Minecraft is the size of 64K Earths (or something). I do not need the amount of energy to create that amount of 'matter', in my laptop to play it.

The Minecraft world has gravity, is huge, and yet, my computer didn't need that amount of energy to simulate it.

Note. I don't think we are in a simulation, and a lot of the arguments for it are weak. But any of the physics based rejections, are in themselves assuming too much about what we know about whatever the outside world is.
There's a slight "paradox", for lack of a better word. Imagine tomorrow you die, only to 'wake up' and discover it actually was just a simulation. And you're now in some new reality. Well it turns out you haven't really answered anything, because the exact same question still remains of what's the source of this new reality. Turtles all the way down?

And I expect there is probably no answer, because there's quite disconcerting little issue of first existence. Even if you imagine that the matter for a big bang could just materialize out of some weird quantum fluctuation, then you're left to wonder about what created the void, or what created the rules as they exist. You end up with this sort of uncomfortable hand-wavey, well it's just always been this way forever. Even increasingly abstract things like multi-verses don't really manage to reconcile this.

If you think about it enough, it's really quite uncomfortable than "we" (whoever "we" may be) actually exist given this paradox. Because it's a question that intelligent existence may actually never be able to answer, and only testable by the experiment from which nobody returns.
e.g. lossless compression of state space and piecewise evaluation. Better compression = less space, more time
Underestimating the enemy rarely ends up well.

The decapitation strikes might have worked if Ukraine didn't have advance warning from very detailed intelligence, and if the Russian military was as competent as everyone assumed.

The Russian Orthodox Church was completely subverted by the KGB and still carries that legacy and purpose. The church never reformed after the USSR went kaput. It is used by Putin to spy on and keep people in line. Putin is also a creature of the KGB.

How much of this is real losses and how much is accounting tricks by licensing content from themselves?
Who is going to punish them if there are no regulations?
As an atheist, the simulation argument, or variants about it, is the closest I've come to considering the belief in a "god". I still stick by my atheism on the basis that I don't feel someone simulating us would really meet what we think of as a deity, and in that sense it has even made me see a "god" as less likely, because I'd consider it more likely that if there were to be anything outside our universe it's just more layers of computation, and entities whose power - if any - would be more likely to just be linked to control of a device (the simulator), not inherent to themselves.

> There are whole regions of space with no actual observer. Those can be swapped to disk,

What disk? Where is this disk?

Suppose the universe contains 10⁸⁰ atoms. And we somehow figure out a way to store 10 bits of information per atom, giving our universe a storage capacity of 10⁸¹

How do you propose to simulate a universe that requires 10⁸¹ + 1 bits to describe? What disk are you going to swap the extra information out to? Where will this disk live - inside or outside of our universe?
This is all true. As a driver, you are definitely expected to be aware at all times. Things like schoolzones enforce drivers being more aware and slowing even more. We have rules to not pass school buses when children are departing. We have speed limits that are lower in suburbs.

Even if you follow all of these rules, theres not too much you can do about someone suddenly staggering infront of your car. Obviously if you see them ahead of time, be even more cautious.

(also drunk people are in-part banned from roadways- public intoxication is a misdemeanor)
Interesting.

It's difficult to second-guess a scammer but this could very well be something that started out like a scam with the intention of shipping nothing, but within 3 months turned into more like a Kickstarter where they got a bonanza of buyers beyond expectations and decided to build and ship some products after all.

At least ship to the wheels that squeak enough.

And only ship when product is available, it doesn't have to be a sustainable business if it was supposed to be fly-by-night to begin with. So they could quit any time, or keep going for quite some time even after "inventory" has been fully depleted.

Could be about the reverse of the Kickstarters that started out legitimate but end up the equivalent of a scam when they fail to deliver anything.
Thanks a lot, this is a fantastic answer. I did not think of QEMU at all, but this a good idea to get started without spending any money.

This is the root issue with these - people subscribe to Disney+ et al because it has everything (Ariel voice) and then they get bored having watched it all, the kids are satisfied by a single dvd on repeat, so you let the subscription lapse.

I had D+, Prime, and Netflix at one point and now have none.

The DVDs at the library are free, too.
I recently tried Apple Music and then gave up because it didn’t support podcasts and the podcast apps that exist in the Apple ecosystem aren’t as good as Spotify

If you go into VM settings > system > acceleration > paravirtualization interface you can select KVM, what's the difference between this and that?
I partially disagree with the first one being a problem. For apps that require ongoing developer resources, I actively seek out subscriptions now. (And some export off ramp)

I’ve been burned too many times by a great app that I have invested time into, only for it to be non-function years down the line after an OS update or a switch to another platform.

This is mostly an issue with knowledge management type software. I’ve moved everything I can to Obsidian, since the off-ramp is just clear text, and still subscribe to it to help incentivize ongoing development.
