Your premise is wrong. There are plenty of exclusive apps on both platforms and you can easily make a living only supporting just one.
No, it is in the category of "Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified" which does not mean that it is unclassified..

Water is much trickier than many people realize. I live on the Delaware River, near where Washington made his famous crossing. The river here is very shallow and looks deceptively peaceful.

Yet people die on this stretch every year, even experienced kayakers who let their guard down. What generally happens is someone falls out of their kayak / tube / whatever, and their feet get caught in a snag in the bottom. The river current is enough to force them under water.

Most places around here will no longer rent water equipment if the river is running high and fast, yet some foolish people manage to go out and die.

But not sure what the answer is for people falling in from the banks or bridges. Comprehensive fencing is expensive and ugly.
Do we really need to have this discussion in every single Zed thread? Support for other platforms is planned and some work towards that is already happening.

Yes - the most enlightening concept for me was "Highest Probability Density Interval" which basically always is clustered around the mean. But you can choose any interval which contains as much probability mass!

It's a fairly common "mistake" to assume that the MLE is useful as a point estimate and without considering covariance/spread/CI/HPDI/FIM/CRLB/Entropy/MI/KLD or some other measure of precision given the measurement set.
No,it's pure laziness and has been since the gameboy days.

They don't want people to trade they want people to buy both games. JFC Nintendo even sells them as pairs without a single cent off the price for buying both games at once.

People were mad at the split between red and blue. Yellow came along as an apology but still had to buy another game (yellow).

When the N64 came out we thought for sure we'd get a legitimate pokemon game...we got snap and arena.

Nintendo and Gamefreak have known for decades what players wanted and they couldn't care less.

Every new iteration is an asset flip with power creep. I stopped after black/white since it was obvious we'd never see a real pokemon game.

We had fan made MMOs that were amazing but chose quite stupidly to add microtransactions. Still they were hugely popular.

Companies bully and buy out competition so they never have to please their audience and keep stringing them along and no company personifies that attitude more than Nintendo and gamefreak.

I truly hope this is the year of comeuppance for companies who want us beholden to them instead of the other way around. The entire world is fucking backwards.

Canned air is unexpectedly supersonic [video]
As I understand it, diffusion-based video generation models simply are not casual in this way. They work by modifying the previous frames in the video to be consistent with future frames just as much as they do later frames to be consistent with earlier ones. That's why Yann LeCun can argue that they do not have to be able to generate plausible continuations of a real video, just generate some arbitrary sample from the space of plausible-looking videos, and that the latter does not imply the ability to do the former. It's also why it's not possible to just generate videos of arbitrary length and lots of VRAM is required to create even a relatively short clip.
Applications like Photoshop typically have fully custom UI frameworks that are not tightly tied to the OS, so porting to run in a browser is less about rewriting the entire UI to work with html elements, and more about writing a renderer for the UI kit that can draw it to a canvas.

If you’re not writing a fully custom UI, you might choose something like Qt, which has wasm built in: https://www.qt.io/web-assembly-example-slate?hsCtaTracking=3...

That itself is a product of current culture. Since the Second World War the expectation in most places is that cities and towns get built and then just grow with new permanent neighbourhoods. Nothing changes, the city just gets appended to.

On the other hand someone living in New York City in 1900 would have no expectation of their area staying the same forever - things were constantly getting replaced because that was the culture of the the time - replace something old with something better.

This is probably just a product of the car making it practical to throw up new far flung developments instead of modifying the development of existing dense areas.

Argentina is a single country. SEPA covers 27. How long do bank transfers from Argentina to, say... Colombia take? I honestly don't know, but I'm going to assume longer than they do between EU countries.
Agreed. I and many developers could make killer PWAs if the support was there. The web has been hindered too long from Apple and that needs to change to support healthy competition.
> It is fair to ask why the likelihoods are useful if they are so small

The way the question demonstrates "smallness" is wrong, however. They quote the product of the likelihoods of 50 randomly sampled values - 9.183016e-65 - as if the smallness of this value is significant or meant anything at all. Forget the issue of continuous sampling from a normal distribution, and just consider the simple discrete case of flipping a coin. The combined probability of any permutation of 50 flips is 0.5 ^ 50, a really small number. That's because the probability is, in fact, really small!
Speaking of incongruent ideas, I think your #1 and #2 are contradictory.

Financialization is an important part of getting markets to meet demand. If you can’t “speculate” on future demand, then developers will not be able to build houses in anticipation of future residents.

Maybe a majority outside of HN, but NIMBYs (and even just people who don't particularly like apartments) are not exactly welcome here on HN, so it's unusual when their comments appear. They are all predictably being downvoted to -4, so it looks like it's temporary. I usually stay out of these discussions because the strong groupthink on this topic tends to keep discussions one-sided.

This is about the only use case for local time that makes sense to me. But this is a UI issue, and it seems to me that that should be something that comes from a UI library or framework, not from libc and or /etc or environment variables.

(I’m using “UI” broadly. A user session on a UNIXy system could have an associated timezone, although such a design should allow changing the timezone without logging on and off. And this “10pm local” thing is quite different from an ordinary zoned time in that “10pm local in 10 days” does not correspond to an actual known UTC time because the local time zone may change.)
It’s a view that is divorced from any sort of political reality.
the right way would have been:

1. pay some macOS developers if iOS developers are that bad and implement necessary changes on a weekend since both OS are linux and macOS is capable (and they had years)

2. if Apple wants to play the oh-so-difficult card, they have to prove according to DMA why is it so much of a burden, which they cannot because it is not... still, they could have talked to EU to get an exemption to keep Safari web apps unbroken until they make the necessary changes that every web browser is ready to use web apps on iOS

what they did is to break all iOS web apps because they were only possible in Safari, fight one additional year with EU then allow them again after they lost

is not that evil? they dare this because it is only a minority of their users that uses web apps now...
Code injection or backdoor: A new look at Ivanti's CVE-2021-44529
It makes a lot more sense when you understand two things:

1) Untrained software engineers' unconscious inclination is to estimate the amount of time after which it's probably time to reassess, rather than complete.

2) The distribution of actual completion is not a normal distribution with respect to estimates of completion, it is log normal: there's a really really long tail.

// bad faith argument like yours do not help at all.. // Lets take a step back mate :-) and try to look at the situation the way it is, not the way we wish it would be.

Software has always been licensed, not sold. And the licensing agreement has always come with terms and conditions dictating what you can and cannot do with your copy of the software, e.g. it can be stipulated that you don't attempt to disassemble it, or make copies and give them away to your friends, etc etc.

In particular, you will lose your license to use the software if you break any of those terms and conditions.

And inasmuch as an iPhone is just an expensive brick without the software, the reality is that Apple will always have very broad discretion in stipulating how you will use your iPhone.

I don't like it any more than you do, but that's just the reality of the situation, and acknowledging the ugly truth is the very antithesis of a bad faith argument.

Offshoring is going to take tech jobs before AI will.
Yes exactly. Prices are high because demand is high. So you build more housing, but the demand is still increasing and creating housing is slow. So you never catch up, the most expensive real estate is always desirable and always high price, no matter how much you build.

A common response to this is a thought experiment where you dump 100% vacancy, prices must come down. But that can't happen, building density is still slow no matter what. I'm talking in the most dense areas in the U.S. like Manhattan.

> Do you really want to live in a world where a tiny number of mega corporations, some of them run by lunatics, are allowed to have full control over devices you own AND all of your personal data?

Long story short, yes, a lot of people here do. It's the temporarily embarrassed millionaire syndrome that drives a lot of American politics, but in a tech context.

They believe that one day, they could be the lunatics running the mega corporation and exploiting users, and when that day comes, they don't want the EU to stand in their way.

I'm absolutely happy if those companies fund the new north/south rail corridor, it'll help us in EU much more than airpods.

And if they decide to leave and let local companies take over certain parts of the market, keeping profits and jobs locally (instead of Bermuda and Cayman islands) then all the better.

I don't think we can lose here as EU citizens. It's not like Trump will do anything different to protect US when he gets elected.

The whole concept of a computer belonging to a timezone works to some extent when that computer has a single human tenant, but it falls apart pretty quickly when the scope broadens.
I agree with your points and thats why it's useful to compare a MLE to an alternative model via a likelihood ratio test, in which case one sees how much better the generative model performs as compared to the wrong model.

Similarly, AIC values do not make a lot of sense on an absolute scale but only relative to each other, as written in [1].

This has been studied, and the research doesn't seem to support this view. Here's a good review of the recent research that finds that increasing housing supply slows rent growth and in some cases even causes rents to fall and that gentrification doesn't cause significant displacement of low-income households. [1]

Indeed. At least now it's only 3x TSMCs annual revenue.

Jim Kellar is also out to ride the AI bubble, but at least he has a company with product you can buy and a bunch of ASIC engineers with experience (Tenstorrent). $1T in his pocket would produce something, I'm sure. I just don't think you want to king-make to that degree.

Yes. Not all users may be able-bodied, or humans.
Why? Worst case scenario is that the market decides it does want cars, but the burden of paying for space to store them falls on the people that want them instead of everyone buying/renting a dwelling.
In desirable areas, the new buildings create new demand AND supply. It doesn't ever balance.

Kinda hard to give an answer to a question that is based on two questionable claims.

Smartphones are common, not omnipresent. And they do show up in dreams. I'm not sure how often, but "rarely" seems like an odd statement to make without some data behind it. Besides, most dreams are not remembered - how can we be sure what does or does not show up in an experience that is mostly forgotten?
> >"the answer is already known: traffic which sufficiently disagrees with the current government of China is blocked."

>"Sufficiently disagrees" is not an exact understanding of exactly when/where/why and how the Chinese...government blocks connections

An exact understanding isn't necessary to determine whether it happens (it does). Nonetheless, it seems like an interesting topic: how exactly do Chinese government decisions on what to block, flow through their government system, before getting to the technical level where they actually do the blocking? I look forward to the results of your research on this, as you have good questions to ask the Chinese government.

>or even if they indeed block connections

They do. It's in the lede of the article you linked:

> The Great Firewall (GFW; simplified Chinese: 防火长城; traditional Chinese: 防火長城; pinyin: Fánghuǒ Chángchéng) is the combination of legislative actions and technologies enforced by the People's Republic of China... to block access to selected foreign websites [0]

I know it sounds obvious, but to avoid confusion, it's worth being absolutely clear here: blocking access to foreign websites means blocking connections to them. Honestly, it's quite confusing to me how someone can doubt the very existence of China's connection-blocking Great Firewall. Is this some attempted jedi mind trick? Of course it exists.

No.

First, there's a fundamental difference between naïve datetimes and timezone-aware datetimes. Try to combine them in one representation, and you are guaranteed to end up with a broken datetime library that spawns endless blog posts attacking it.

Second, there's a more subtle distinction between a datetime which has a known timezone and one which merely has a known instantaneous offset. A timezone is essentially a naïve date time -> tzoffset, albeit one whose values for future dates tends to be surprisingly unrobust. Among the offset-only date times, UTC is a very common case that deserves its own alias.

Finally, separating the local-tz datetime from other tz-aware datetimes can be very useful, for if the user changes their local timezone, then a local-tz datetime usually wants to switch the timezone it is using as well.

2024? It happened to me in 2020, right after Covid. I was unable to reach a colleague, thought he was sick (not unusual, he had health issues often). Until the “standup” rolled around and we were told he was laid off.

IMO, we are spending way too much money on scaffolding to save very few lives. Does getting killed by an errant piece of brick from above suck? Yes it does. But so does getting killed by a speeding vehicle which happens on a weekly basis. I'd rather most of the money that goes into scaffolding go towards making our streets safer (such as daylighting, speed control measures, etc). It'd save way more lives per dollar spent.

We should still have scaffolding for the most unsafe buildings (until fixed), but what we have today is really just a huge waste of money lining the pockets of the mob (which allegedly controls the scaffolding business).

I think there’s also a basic QA issue. I use that heavily at places which have systems which are fast and reliable but most of the places which stopped had these terrible systems which wanted you to install their low-quality app which demanded lots of permissions and account creation, or seeming-parodies of modern web apps which needed 25mb of JavaScript to display a menu (not hyperbole - I checked one of them in WPT after being surprised by how bad it was).

Unfortunately, I think a lot of restaurants drew the conclusion that customers don’t want online ordering rather than that customers want fast and smooth ordering. I suspect some of that was also unrealistic expectations from the ad-tech industrial complex promising additional revenue from things customers don’t want, too, based on how aggressively some of those pushed you to create accounts and allow tracking before you could order anything. Someone not blinded by greed would make the pitch to do that kind of thing after ordering when you’re not trying to do something else and have an idea about whether you’ll even want to come back.
"Lifted pretty fast" is a vague statement. When where these restrictions lifted? Before or after wildfires season?
If you’ve been living in the same neighborhood in 35 years you should be even more familiar with the changes going on to it, hell, you should even be an active participant in aiding or resisting change if you’re such a firmly-established local.
