> It's getting really tiresome to see tech bros talk about biology as if they know what they're talking about.

My undergrad was in biology, "bro". I was cloning luciferace into plants using agrobacterium-mediated transfection over a decade before this week's news of transgenic petunias.

I was planning to do a PhD in computational metabolomics, but life took a different turn: a couple of Google engineers saw the laser projector I built and programmed to play video games on the side of skyscrapers [1], and they lured me away to work on what became a decacorn. My quality of life and net worth certainly thank me for the pivot.

Take a look at my post history [2]. My analogies are informed and salient.

In any case, I'm working directly in this field now and the results we're achieving don't need affirmation. I tried to communicate this to outsiders in an easy to digest analogy. I'll let our work speak for itself.

Well, the OP did say thousands of years. But I take your point, money transfer without moving physical gold has been possible for hundreds of years for sure.
No, they wouldn't want other airlines giving him extra nice service, they'd want other airlines treating him as toxic. Which is not the meaning of "kid gloves."

That’s great. And if that’s what you want I think “the classics” are generally not a good choice for the vast majority of people.
The plugins use WebAssembly.
The independence has nothing do with the integral being 1 to be honest. You could write a model where the observations are not independent but the (multivariate) integral over their domain will still be 1.
Only when you dimensions are truly independent and that is a stretch. Really what you are saying is that you are more likely to find a field for your problem, and fields don't exist in more than 2 dimensions.

Consider Predator Pray with fear and refuge, which is indeterminate, and not due to a lack of precision but a topological feature where ≥3 open sets share the same boundary set.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S09600...

General relativity, with 3 spacial and one temporal dimension is another. One lens to consider this is that rotations are hyperbolic due to the lack of independence from the time dimension.

Quantum mechanics would have been much more difficult if it didn't have two exit basins. Which is similar to ANNs and linear regressions being binary output.

(Some exceptions will orthogonal dimensions like EM)

From the Observable Framework point of view, you’re very welcome to use Apache ECharts or any other library instead of Observable Plot, since you can import whatever you like and it’s all just JavaScript.

Since there was a lot of interest in this thread, Mike added a page to the docs with an ECharts example: https://observablehq.com/framework/lib/echarts

There are two pieces of that example code specific to Framework: the html`` tagged template literal creates a DOM element (see https://github.com/observablehq/htl, also usable outside Framework), and the display function inserts it into the document above the code block (see https://observablehq.com/framework/javascript/display). Note that, whereas Observable Plot takes an options object and returns a DOM element, ECharts instead takes a DOM element and mutates it — but in general they should be equally easy to use in Framework.

Like Plot (and Vega-Lite, another great option), ECharts is also now one of Framework’s built-in “recommended libraries” (see https://observablehq.com/framework/javascript/imports#implic...), meaning that if you reference `echarts` Framework will lazy-load it for you. Adding that was a two-line diff: https://github.com/observablehq/framework/pull/811/files#dif.... But I wanna emphasize that Framework doesn’t have to explicitly “support” a given library for you to use it. “Supporting” in this case just means the convenience of saving you a one-line import statement. But don’t wait for our blessing!! Use whatever.
I don't know about Lapce, but the plan for Zed is to have WASM extensions.
Bitmagnet may download metadata about CSAM content, which is automatically deleted with fairly high accuracy. You would never be redistributing it. No outgoing peer protocol is currently implemented. This is planned but it will give users control of what they're sharing rather than indiscriminately sharing everything.

> Assembly doesn't have undefined behavior

Certainly some assembly languages do.
For that sync to work, you have to read the whole disk, do hashes, then compare to hashes for a given other version. Which requires reading the DVD/BluRAY (slow) and comparing to the versions on the server.

And preferably, if you’re just reading hashes off the disk, that none of the actual data on the disk is corrupted or doesn’t match the hashes.

And then, due to the reality of the way games are distributed, downloading 90%+ of the game anyway.

Or just download the full version, which is simpler and likely the same amount of bandwidth, and faster since you’re not having to read/check the slow disks for more than basic ‘is it this game’ checking.
Almost every week since that game came out that songs comes into my head. It's way too catchy.
> Pain is a feedback mechanism and often the result of something being broken or poorly performing.

I think that's a very reductionist view point that differs from the official definition of pain?

> There’s nothing magic about it, other than that we don’t currently understand much about how it works or how to modulate it.

I didn't claim that it's magical. Just that you wouldn't be able to produce the experience of pain algorithmically?

Still waiting for someone to explain how it could be produced algorithmically. I asked GPT. It said it would be immoral to even think about doing so if we could.

> It’s like saying, “if we’re reducible to machines then explain itchiness”.

If you can explain how itchiness is created algorithmically, I would also take that just out of curiosity! Though not the same as pain, it would be a good starting point maybe.
Seems to be somehow connected to loading an image that fails to load - just replicate it in chrome 121 on Android, which obviously has no extensions.

https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/zQfJpquv/100000698...

Some more context - Chrome seems to get stuck getting contents of "hero image" of bay bridge, which is invisible (height=0) in Firefox, and somehow everything after said image's <figure> tag gets removed from DOM.

Looking at chrome debugger, it seems both the AVIF file and inter.css fail to load, stuck in "pending" state.
I was responding to your tl;dr not the GPs point. I think people who love Citizen Kane should encourage other people to try it, and people who love Parasite should encourage other people to try it, and we shouldn't make broad pre-judgements like "because you are younger than X years you won't like this movie that's more than Y years old." Obviously if we know someone else's particular taste we might be able to guess that they will strongly like or dislike a particular movie (e.g. my mom dislikes any violence, she would hate Parasite).
Myself and the other poster are asking you politely to stow your ego and self-interested focus, and to think about why sweeping, nationwide changes in policy might have come about. I don't deny that you've experienced those issues firsthand; I'm saying it doesn't matter.

Put yourself in the time period: babes born after MLK was assasinated aren't even in elementary school yet, and we're at the height of white flight and the Marlboro Man and asbestos-infused flooring. You can't seriously hold that the shift to SFH-only zoning was predicated on smoking and mold concerns, can you?

If you honestly believe that such concerns, wholly divorced from racial and class politics, were the impetus for this shift, you're being irrational, and selfish. I apologize, because I know saying so can be considered rude, but it is the crux of our disagreement: it's not about you. Your personal concerns do not, by themselves, define the scope of a national problem.

HN rated limiting sucks. And client crashes suck more.

You’re not reading my comment, or thinking about the game distribution problem.

MS can get benefit from reading all the files, verifying hashes, etc.

And in a typical OS update scenario, MS can trust that a files contents haven’t been updated since the hash was checked. Which reading from a DVD/BluRAY, scratches are a problem and it isn’t that simple.

Games typically don’t, especially those on a DVD or BluRAY. Because they are slow, and have terrible seek times.

So, like I pointed out - it doesn’t make sense to do the work you need to do in info theory to actually apply a delta patch in these scenarios.
I doubt it's going to go the same way as search. You can't run Google on consumer hardware, but you can run LLMs locally.

At worse, newer models will get worse and you can just stick to older models.

You could also argue that proprietary models gated by an API are better than anything you can run locally, and yeah maybe those will get worse with time.

They're not going to get any worse than what you can run locally though. If they do, open models will overtake them, and then we'd be in a better position overall.
> You have to be participating in a torrent swarm in order to bootstrap yourself into DHT at all.

This is not correct.

> Bittorrent's DHT is not a network independent of torrent swarms.

This is also wrong. People have used the DHT for non-torrent-related purposes.

> You need the address of a peer who is already part of the network in order to join it, and you have to get a list those addresses from somewhere.

And nothing dictates that that has to be obtained via the bittorrent peer protocol. https://stackoverflow.com/a/11089702/1362755

Emotions are concepts our internal model has learned when trying to model itself.

For a system to experience what we describe as pain, it needs to receive sensory input which it predicts signals that something is damaging its internal state, and then model/describe/represent itself as something that has this experience. Such as system would, like you do, believe it is experiencing pain.
That doesn't make sense because those are concurrent processes, not serial ones.
Regulation. Law. Human verification. Slow old fashioned ways of verifying content. Basically in the context of news for example: outlets pinkyswear that their writers are made of flesh and use sources from other companies that have the same sort of certification and so on. All the way from eyes to consumer. And you'd not read news without that kind of certification in the future I guess.
Hah, I just pared down that “More from Observable creators” section the other day to make it less obtrusive, and inadvertently made it more confusingly blend into the notebook contents. This is good feedback; we’ll refine it!

As a user, I certainly do not find it hostile.

In a "batteries included" edit a service like copilot that expose all data to a third party is a terrible anti-feature.

As for script-oriented plugins vs wasm - I see a tradeoff - and don't think neither are right or wrong.

Cross editor plugins via a common wasm api might be fun, but perhaps not very practical.

As someone who owns a Sublime Text license if its not an IDE it better be as fast as Sublime or im just going to use Sublime instead.
I remember the old days of using tinyIRC which boasted that it was hand-written in assembly. And indeed, it was great to use. But there’s nothing really notable about any of this today when so many editors are flexing speed. Two weeks can’t go by without a new editor coming out. I’m still on VS Code after ST shit the bed.
This probably needs far more attention than it's given.

A half-wild guess here is that because viruses uses various ways to hide themselves the anti-virus software probably scans W^X codepages on changes, so anything JIT compiled (all modern JS engines) will trigger a lot of spurious scans (kinda like how compiling and writing .exe files can grind turnaround times to a halt).
Big if true, but you'll need to provide some evidence of these backdoored packages.

Ignore these hyped claims by AI entrepreneurs. These are made to hustle money from investors. :-)
The customer's receipt absolutely does need to correctly itemize sales taxes. It is an input to the customer's own tax filings. And obviously, overstating the sales tax is illegal regardless.

Any sales tax decrease will not be transferred to the customer except in a delayed fashion under your model. Furthermore, requiring the retailer to eat any downside on sales tax changes will cause average prices to increase, albeit slightly in most cases, to transfer the risk to the customer as happens in every other market where operating costs are not directly chargeable.

You are a bundle of joy, aren't you?

You nearly said the same thing I did. Are you just looking for confrontation? Like, what are you trying to get at here? Is Sam Altman himself your personal Lord and Savior and you feel the need to prove it?

These advancements will, from the perspective of adults having kids today, make things harder for their children. Just like it is for us now, which is why our parents think computers are hard to understand and also why they think home ownership is just as attainable for today's young adults as it was for them. But our children won't really mind, or even notice these difficulties as they will be very normal to them.

Our ancestors were right. For them.

Anyway, AI and LLMs will be primarily used to control and manipulate people. But that's not a new concept, it's just going to be more efficient.

> GM/Ford/Stellaris aren't making a push for EVs in China like Tesla is.

China is an incredibly important market for cars, its not about EV or not.

And to just say 'well, see we don't even car about this huge market' isn't really much of a strategy, its just giving up.

My point was not about GM and US companies, it was about legacy EV companies in general. VW has massive problems in China as well. My broad point is that BYD is a problem for everybody.

> BYD just doesn't compete with USAs automakers outside of their Chinese footprints.

But they will. They are currently expanding all over the world. Its a matter of time.
Really fun and clever. The N64 Mario font is a nice touch ;)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe DietPi isn't maintaining the necessary kernel forks many of the devices require, and is dependent on upstream kernel fork changes from manufacturers/vendors.

Most of those boards can run mainline Linux, but certain features and integrations only exist in external forks that weren't put into vanilla Linux.

The end result is either that you're still dependent on someone maintaining bespoke Linux kernel forks in perpetuity, or you ship relatively up-to-date kernels that lack features, drivers, etc that only exist in the forks.

> In this case, the airline voluntary submits to the authority of IATA, so any attempt at naming and shaming is an attempt to bypass that authority

And what could have the IATA done? Very likely, nothing, or likely. If it could have done something, it could have been far worse, like putting him on a no fly list maybe?

In the end, the extorter is taught a lesson, but not too harsh of a lesson - just like shoplifters, because I don't think it would be very fair to jail someone who had to steal food to survive.

A punishment may be needed, but a very light one, and ideally to teach person a lesson to try to reform them.

I think what has happened may have been for the best for the supposed extorter: he even got the free drama he likes so much!
I could use a decent Rust IDE. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the VSCode plugin for Rust seems to be the best there is at the moment, way better than the JetBrains plugin. This cannot be the last word on that.
What word would you have used in place of "beauty"?

If the author had argued in favor of optimizing the visual look of your slide deck to maximize its impact on your audience (a rough paraphrasing of one of your sentences), I wouldn't have disagreed.

But if her first bullet point had been about choosing/buying the right font, I'd have demurred (and I say this as someone whose livelihood focuses 100% on the visual presentation of text!).

> Is the world really full of developers going crazy with frustration because they’re waiting on vs code to do something?

Absolutely. How new/fast is your developer machine? A lot of developers are working on computers that are several years old and may not have been that high-spec to begin with. It's generally not basic editing that's slow on it's own. It's trying to run several editor windows at once (say a frontend and several backend services) along with all the other things required for work: the project itself, compilers, video calls, etc.

As a reference point my 2015 MacBook Pro struggled with VS Code + Google Meet at the same time.
The smart behaviour of parrots and their speech synthesis are two different phenomenon.

Parrots are definitely smart, and parrots can definitely speak, but they can't learn to speak beyond what they are trained to do. It's not like a parrot has ever spontaneously put together a coherent sentence independently.

LLMs aren't even that smart. Not even close.
Problem is that most corps in my experience are run by such windows sysadmins, and when you're a subsidiary or two away from the IT department it doesn't matter whether you're all greybeards - you don't have authority. Best you can do is manage to fly under the radar.

On the other hand, you'd be surprised by just how many career programmers are completely inept at sysadmin work and have no sense for security (nothing like CI pipelines using personal credentials and committing keys into public repos), so just letting all programmers do whatever isn't a great policy either...
I was referring to all legacy manufactures. VW is having lots of issues in China.

GM isn't aggressive in China because they know they can't really win.

GM and co attitude being 'who cares about that large market we don't even want to compete' isn't really all that convincing as a strategy.
As a career, I think it‘s difficult. While I believe most jobs will remain longer than we are thinking right now, many will feel threatened.

I think for now it would be good to develop physical skills in addition to pretending nothing is happening. Robotics seem to lag behind for various reasons.
I am old too, but if anything I think that young programmers nowadays are not nearly as iconoclasts and rebels as they used to be. And I do miss that.
That's beside the point. Linux has a login wall before you are able to do anything. You must have an account in order to use it.

Yeah the technology for verifying identity has existed for a long time, but who is going to be the root authority for this? will they be federal? private? I feel not many people will want to play ball on this, especially for the major forums online.
> The National Crime Agency (NCA) issued a call on Thursday for parents and teachers to take a proactive role in educating young people about the dangers of engaging in cybercrime.

I find it funny that they dare talk about the "dangers" when enforcement of not only cybercrime, but even meatspace petty crime such as shoplifting or phone theft is non-existent. But I guess it makes sense - after all, if enforcement was sufficient, it would be obvious and there would be no need for them to talk about it.
I checked and no. It seems to only be some a relative few stations.
With neovim you're still dependent on plugins written in some scripting language, and their overhead can add up. Lapce plugins are compiled to WASM/WASI, so they should run a bit smoother.
