Environmental lighting conditions rule the day! I have astigmatism and I prefer bright backgrounds; #000 text on #fff backgrounds works great for me, but that's because I work in a room lit by a 250W 30,000 lumen corn-cob LED bulb[0] that makes my small office as bright on the inside as the shaded ground from a tree on an overcast day (which is quite bright compared to usual indoor lighting). In a room that bright, high contrast text works great and is highly readable, with "dark mode" often looking washed out and muddy. Even small reductions in contrast (such as what https://devdocs.io does with text of #333 in light mode) can make me notice and wish for greater contrast.

The language picker doesn't just change UI language, it changes which language Wikipedia is displayed.

There isn't really such thing as a "local Wikipedia" but of course coverage for a given country tends to be best on the Wikipedia in the language spoken there.

Not every language is supported (I think processing the fifteen Wikipedia dumps takes several days as is) but I believe the supported languages are the top 15 by number of articles.
If you want to tackle it from a more practical point of view, I can also recommend "Site Reliability Engineering (How Google runs production systems)", which is not only about the method itself, but naturally goes over distributed systems and explains some fundamentals.

Yes, I've understood that. But a hyperlink that looks like a button -- that's the kind of thing we have CSS for, and CSS also allows you to do more complex things, like a hyperlink that's more prominent then a typical link and invites you to click it, like a button, but which is still recognizable as a link, for example with an underline on hover, so that you know you can open it in a new tab.

While Ballard is more popularly known for Crash and Empire of the Sun, I can't recommend his earlier works enough, especially his short stories.

Many of his writings were ahead of his time [1]. A particular favorite of mine is "Studio 5, the Stars"[2] which written in 1961, brings up a lot of the feelings around GenAI and art today [3].

So yes, if you're looking to market _anything_ find a woman or a model, and put her in front of your product.
Which is one of several reasons why you were wrong to complain about distorting "real-world probabilities" in the first place, and was also the point I was illustrating with my example.
That nation couldn't find the money to maintain 'their' fleet. Maintaining nuclear weapons cost way more.
It's rare enough to warrant a discussion in passing wherever I notice it. Usually people use it because they don't want google monopoly and I have not seen anyone have the kind of burning passion for looking into pockets of women CEO's as in the comments here. I disagree with a lot of the decisions she made, but looking at suggestions for improving ff marketshare in this thread I am happy that she was at the helm and not random hn'ers.
PALM2 is from then Google Brain I think, DeepMind didn’t bet big on LLM until much latter.
Related to that, Gibson has gotten one notorious adaptation of a short story to screen: Johnny Mnemonic. It's based on a short set vaguely "near" Neuromancer in setting/timeline. That movie is still a fun goofy pleasure and is truly aesthetics in service of Cool. I think it captures some of the aesthetics people love in the trilogy that starts with Neuromancer if you prefer the visual to the prose.

I also kind of think the Cyberpunk 2077 videogame adaptation is probably the closest to capturing the whole trilogy we might find in any adaptation, even with the indirection through the TTRPG which was heavily "inspired by" the trilogy and not directly an adaptation itself.
But that'd fly in the face of seeking forgiveness not permission. While they'd be wasting time "following the rules" (which incidentally don't exist yet since they haven't been tested/ established), a less moral company would eat their lunch. This is the reality of innovating at the edge.
hmm, I didn't know, I will try it out, thank you.
I would be very interested in an open-source, self-hostable version of this. Is anyone building that?
Why does this so often get highlighted so strongly as a "tesla vs. everybody" frame? It makes it look like you're tilting at windmills and missing the point.

I'm sorry, the first car brought up was the 2016 CTS-V. I didn't sit through the entire 20 min video. I don't think the Cadillac is a good comparison; I don't know enough about the others to comment.

Just because they decided to change the design rather than submit an non-compliance does not mean they weren't "forced." It means they were caught by a regulator, and did not fix the issue of their own accord. By your logic, I'm not "forced" to pay a speeding ticket because I pay the fine rather than fight it out in court. It could easily be that the fix is just easier than the process of risk-based compliance.

Again, please stop spanning comments. It makes the discussion worse and your point easier to dismiss as being the rantings of someone with an axe to grind instead of a rational argument.
I don't know. That's why I'm curious. The apocrypha were removed for reasons, and I'd like to know why. This is not a topic I'm even remotely an expert on.

Go to Subaru's recall site and look up your car by its VIN. It should give you a list of issues of different severities that you can choose to address (or not).

I set up a changetower.com notification to email me every time a new recall appears.

The term doesn’t have to mean what the literal words on their own do, or apply to everything that the individual words might, taken in their own.

[edit] and in this case the term is far more useful if it is not as expansive as you suggest. We’d just need another term, then, to describe the kind of thing people usually mean by “social media”.
You are absolutely right. Good intentions are not enough. We should all keep repeating this at the tops of our voices.
Imagine being both the CEO of the corp and the chairwoman of the non profit. Damn!

Remember Mitchell killed FirefoxOS (I know you were likely happy about that @gkoberger), and now Mozilla is complaining about not getting level playing access to other OSes. Guess what, when you have no platform, you'll be forever a second class citizen.

Oh wow. This is great. Mitchell Baker was not good for Mozilla at all.

I don't know Laura Chambers but I hope she will do a better job.
Of course if it really matters, you should verify. There are weird edge cases where property lines straddle district lines and town boundaries.
> I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to this, because the argument is crystal clear in my head, I just struggle to convey it to others.

No worries! I'm interested in the discussion and really this is meant to be about healthy exchange of ideas to better understand different view points anyway. Apologies for taking so long to reply, hopefully you still see this.

> Being "manifested with substance" is something you experience from the inside of the universe. How do you know there is substance? Because you experience it with your senses, that's all.v

I don't necessarily disagree, but this isn't refuting my point. I'm not denying that if we are a simulation we have a mathematical description, i'm saying most of the substance of this simulation, whether it be experienced by us or described as math, came about as a result of the simulation, and was not described in the initial model.

> You don't have to. Nobody needs to give any input. It's enough that if a given input were given then a given output would arise. The output would arise from the input regardless of whether anyone ran the simulation.

This is only relevant if you can predict all possible outputs for all possible inputs, and you can't. No one can.

> I'm saying you don't need to compute it, the outcomes were already there.

That's the problem though. You do need to actually compete and run it to generate any meaningful data i.e. substance.

Your argument, if I understand it correctly, is analogous to saying you don't need to play a game of CS to know how it will turn out, because you can generate all the possible scenarios. CS scenarios don't have an infinite space of possibilities, just a very large one, but even then it's more than we could compute, and it may still not capture everything (while everything in the game could be mathematically modeled it doesn't mean every aspect would be being recorded or considered significant). When you take that to a simulation with basically infinite inputs, it becomes unsolvable and impractical at least in any way we can understand.

> You don't know how any individual match will go because it is non-deterministic (like the coin-flipping example), but the set of all possible outcomes can be inferred from the starting state based on the rules. They're all already there in the vast structure of all that is possible in the game. You just only simuulate one path.

So you're saying our simulation is more like a match being replayed where everything is known? That's not really a simulation then, is it, but a replay. The point of running a simulation is generally to gather data. If, as in your scenario they (whoever 'they' may be) already have all the data, there would be no reason to run the simulation.

> (The main caveat in my argument is that it begins with "IF the universe can be simulated" -- if you don't think it is possible to define a computable function that would simulate the universe given arbitrary time and space etc., then the rest of my argument is irrelevant).

I certainly think a simulation is possible, I disagree on how predictable or known ahead of time the outcomes of that simulation would be.
Yeah, full website design screenshots would look better, and easier to find the best, like here https://www.pickedweb.com

Random interactions at a third place can happen without a phone, but eventually you'll want to meet somewhere else, and unless you're comfortable with the old school "meet me at the clock" style meetup and all the failure modes that could occur, you're going to need a way to communicate
I didn’t say that I agreed with them. I developed a defense mechanism about 8 years ago that lets me enjoy the irony and humor in the absurd—and frankly, scary—times we live in without becoming too depressed. I donate money, vote, and stay educated, which I believe is the best way for me to contribute positively.

That's why I'm against it: Whenever I look at my dad's computer or phone, he has a lot of spam notifications from I don't know where.
It's even an avenue for scam, as there are the multiple "Your device is infected" notifications...

I'm not against web tech being able to send notifications, but allowing every site to ask for permission (when people just don't read and click anything) is a nightmare.
Apple's solution there is pretty good: You can have web push if you want to treat this site as an app
> Have we not concluded that eternal life begets meaninglessness? Are we really imagining ourselves to be eternally pleasure seeking or revelries entities?

I don't think the majority of humanity (either historically or presently) has concluded that eternal life begets meaninglessness. If anything, that position seems to be the minority. Bear in mind that a transhumanist is striving for eternal life just as much as someone looking forward to a supernatural heaven.

I would certainly agree that looking for life to be a long (or even indefinitely long) party is the wrong attitude and that will ultimately lead to emptiness and despair.

Some people think that curating a music collection is fundamentally different from collecting funkopops or some other similar mass-market consumerist behavior.

Those people are wrong, but that is what they think.

They'll ramble on about purity and emotion completely oblivious to the fact that someone searching for, categorizing, and collecting various types of paperclips is perfectly capable of experiencing the same emotions.
Summary from Kagi:

- Matrix has seen growth in monthly active users, doubling from 2 million in January 2021 to almost 4.5 million currently.

- Matrix 2.0 aims to make Matrix as fast and usable as mainstream alternatives like instant login/launch and native VoIP.

- Sliding sync is being simplified from the original design to make it easier to implement as an API. Client-side ordering is now the focus.

- Element X ignition launched in September 2023 and showcases many Matrix 2.0 features in a production-ready app.

- End-to-end encrypted group calls are now possible in Element using Matrix and an SFU like Jitsi.

- The Digital Markets Act mandates interoperability between large communication platforms.

- Experimental Matrix protocol bridges have been implemented between Matrix and WhatsApp.

- "Linearized Matrix" was proposed as a simpler version of Matrix for gatekeepers to implement.

- The IETF Mimi working group is defining a long-term interop protocol building on MLS encryption.

- In the short term, plain Matrix can be used for DMA interoperability while standards are developed.
I think this AI is like a terrifying overprotective parent.

I ask it about esp32, it answers that it may be used in non ethical applications.
I ask it if it speaks Russian or German, it answers that it doesn't speak about geopolitical matters (what?).
I ask it what kind of soldering wire it may suggest to use in a home project, it says that electronic projects may be dangerous and that it's programmed to not encourage such kind of talk.

The problem is that "aren't you confusing" comes across as very snarky. That's WTF is with the downvotes, and getting upset about those downvotes doesn't help.
My questions are not rhethorical in the sense that I do wonder what makes people think Bitcoin represents something useful.

At the same time I have a hard time accepting that people could see use in the inherent waste of energy. And it irks me when it's framed as use of "stranded energy". Because that's far from reality.

I've heard two voices so which is it to you? Is Bitcoin useful now and worth the lost energy? Or is it an experiment of an interesting tech gone too far?

Thank you for spelling this out. I've seen the GP opinion multiple times and it never connected for me before.
Strong disagree, when itunes was about managing your phone generally (backups, resets, file transfer), managing your personal music collection on and off your phone, managing and playback (sans books i think) your itunes store purchases (music/movies/books)... it was too much. It created a weird usability nightmare where things that should have not been blended were blended.
Not defending Ukraine's tactics in that instance - but you'll note that that event predated Minsk I.

So in terms of it "violating the Minsk agreements" - no.
Furthermore, every successful dictator has to project an image of excellent health.

After all, if your finance chief is loyal because you let him steal $10 million a year and he expects you to be in power for the next 10+ years, that's $100M+ for staying loyal.

If you're in poor health, though, and might only last 2 more years? Your finance chief is going to start thinking about who'll replace you. Earning that replacement's favour might be worth a lot more than the $20M he can expect from you.

Your military chief and police chief and religious chief are having similar thoughts, and before you know it your successor controls the treasury, armed forces and religion and you're forced into retirement or dead.

Granted, you can avoid the problem by having an obvious, powerful and deeply loyal successor. If Putin had a healthy young son he appointed the head of the armed forces he could be ill as much as he likes. But he doesn't have such a successor, so he's got to project an image of excellent health.
Poverty is not itself a reason to commit crime. Some people steal whether they are poor or rich, others don't, whether they are poor or rich.

Around here, it's mostly organized gangs doing the stealing, not random poor people... If that were the case, the city wouldn't have a single light fixture left unscathed.
Thanks for spending money on ruining other countries’ agriculture too. Happens to be bad for everyone it seems, other than these poor farmers.
I'm not sure that FF going down in usage can be put on the CEO at this point. There's way too many forces against them, it is not a "fair" fight against the only other option.

Google is way larger and has deals set in place to ensure that basically everyone ends up with it as the default. Let that go on for a generation or two and people forget all about FF. They cannot compete against that.

As for CEO pay, that's typical. Asking or expecting for it to not go up exponentially is pointless, that's just how it works now.
Open Source AI Definition: Where it stands and what's ahead
That's a different argument. I agree the news is sensationalist. The point is about process control, not "TSLA vs. Whomever" or sensationalist media. You're hijacking the discussion to shoehorn in your pet peeve rants. Please don't.
Netscape was never open source during that phase though, I think that's the point. Moving to firefox was a huge improvement for the internet community.
The necessary skills are not rare, but the roles are rare so people start to think the skills are rare. I get a lot of grief for this opinion but I think most HN'ers could do the job of "CEO of whatever company they currently work for". It's not rocket science. We have this mythology around CEOs that they are such outlier smart, special, hardworking people, but really it's just that the top of the pyramids contain few people.

Thanks for asking.

A Japanese, inline-four that is that smooth, tuned to feel like a torque-y V-twin is unusual. I always wanted a fireblade for similar reasons though I hear Aprilia makes a 400 V-twin which is more to my lightweight expectations for most things.

My purchase of the liter bike was a transitional stage from my dearly-beloved SV650 to my equally dearly-beloved 310cc BMW GS world-beater.

The aside to other MPG commenters here is that indeed, the SV got 60 MPG, while the SX got maybe 40 on a good day.

I'll answer your primary question by chortling gently and saying speed was never the goal. Rather, acceleration was.

The numbers speak volumes: 0-60 MPH ~ 3 seconds, 100 MPH ~ 6 seconds, optic nerve compressed as the eyes approach the PFC, check.

The fun part is that 6 seconds go by quickly when your consciousness is overwhelmed by shifting 3 gears in six seconds without assistance.

Your second question is best answered by saying, "I've been lucky."

LSS: read both David Hough books, take whatever classes you can get cheap (in my state they're underwritten by the state - YMMV). Then, read the David Hough books until you've survived a dissertation committee's murder-board on the details.

Consider the implications of riding full-time with two fingers on the brake lever, and the FPS-downstream implications of that choice's improvement in reaction time to the cage pulling out in front of you, and you have a rough idea why the classes, while good, are not enough, given MPH and survival's inverse relationship in motorcycling.

The subtext is that I'm paradoxically hyper-vigilant, over-trained, and fearless; in other words, I'm a human robot. That included 20 years of urban summer commutes, 80 miles per day. Not the million miles I've traveled by cage, but still.

Be safe out there!
