I would not say fast is better than slow when it comes to thinking. It's not something to compensate for.

It's like with breaking news. Do you want to be first, or correct? The two are usually at odds, and serve different purposes.

The quickest wits do improv comedy, and what makes improv funny is the mistakes that turn into happy accidents, usually precipitated by speed.

There is great strength, confidence, and accuracy that can come from deliberately slowing down. Your words have more meaning.
Not sure why you think it is the number of laws and regulations that lead to that. The US has huge amounts of those, too.

Some structural differences are in part actually from the US having been less permissive than Europe in banking.
I often see that claim, but I don't like it.

The implication is that the heating is like when one compresses air in a bicycle pump, the increase in temperature that comes from adiabatic (reversible, isentropic) compression of a gas. And some compression does occur, so there is some necessary heating from that source (as required by the second law).

But entry heating is not reversible. It's fundamentally irreversible, in fact. The gas is going through a shock. Shocks fundamentally cause an increase in entropy as fast gas slams into slow gas over a region whose thickness is on the order of a mean free path of molecules in the gas. And, in fact, the increase in density of gas going through a shock approaches a limit (around 4, IIRC, for air) regardless of the Mach number. So at sufficiently high speed most of the heating is coming from dissipation at the shock (a process akin to friction), over and above the heating implied by adiabatic compression.
On the contrary. Chrome will push out Safari on iOS. Lazy web devs will do the rest. It will usher in a glorious era of Chrome/Google/Alphabet dominance, with Google accounts becoming unavoidable. All hail the personalized ad!
Hi HN! I'm a member of the team that worked hard on AI Hub and AI Hub Models for the last few years. Excited to see our work show up here!!

If you have questions or feature requests, you can reach out to us on Slack (https://join.slack.com/t/qualcomm-ai-hub/shared_invite/zt-2d...) or file an issue on GitHub / Huggingface. We are pretty responsive!
Delete, delete, delete: the ultimate productivity hack – Matt Sgarlata's blog
It used to be that it was a linear scaling factor. So if you moved from, say, 40nm to 20nm, you'd see a 4x increase in transistor density. In the early days of VLIW scaling (roughly from 45nm and up), that really did work by just "making everything smaller". And in that world, the smallest thing was generally the size of the middle/active region of the transistor on top of which the gate sat, so the "gate length" (which is actually the *width* of a resist line that crosses the transistor) became the standard.

But then they started having to cheat: you can take a big transistor and "fold" it vertically to be smaller but still have the same gate area, etc... The actual feature sizes may not have changed much but you have the 2x density increase, so you name your new node "32nm" even though the actual width of the gate feature when seen from above didn't change, etc...

But then somewhere around 10nm everyone just gave up and started handing out random numbers. TSMC's 3nm process is not remotely a 2x density increase over 5nm, for example.
This is a relatively recent thing, called the Usr Merge.

FWIW I also use Fennec from F-Droid and I'm getting very slow behaviour and crashes with lots of tabs open (between 10-30). I don't have the theme change or tabs missing though.

I've been meaning to try different Firefox distributions though because switching away from Firefox isn't really an option for the reasons you've stated.

Low bit parameters is always talked about in terms of performance benefits but I wonder if allowing the LLM to combine parameters to represent values, means it can select the resolution of each value, that is use a kind of internal scientific notation to track the uncertainty of values. More low bit parameters combined together means more precision and resolution, less can mean more uncertainty. This might allow the LLM to better calibrate the uncertainty of it's knowledge in a Bayesian way, to prevent hallucinations from the overconfidence you get from overfitting on too many bits.
IEEE 754 has an infinity, so division by zero isn't the catastrophic thing that it is in integer. However, division by zero is still an exception as defined by the 754 standard.

What hardware does with these exceptions is a separate question, though. Some CPUs will swallow them for performance.
>All 70 year old companies is not helping your point.

I read an interesting point recently: Austria's 100 wealthiest families have two thirds of the country's wealth, and zero have earned their money from technology; they've all inherited it.

How different would the same list be for Germany? One, perhaps two families earned their fortunes from tech (and by "tech" I mean "SAP")?

You mean that all the people on HN that use Cloudflare's very generous free tier are at risk of DDOS?

Of course there is a benefit to selling your soul to the devil, what's the bloody point otherwise? I do not need to hear all the good things the devil got you, I am telling you that it is silly that "go Cloudflare" is the default advice is any situation because we have become lazy and complacent and we do not really care that we give the keys to the internet to one company.

The Internet gets shittier because people are lazy, and I need better arguments to being complicit to this than "I need DDoS protection for my 100-visitor a month blog."

I do agree it needs documentation. It is really difficult to tell what the overall capabilities of the framework are beyond being able to serve React. You can have multitenancy with just about any framework though by running instances on different ports behind a reverse proxy like nginx.
Is the allow thing like this really true? I was under the impression that everything is disallowed by default, and you specifically have to allow it to work, hence the default embeds from YouTube and others having it on there.
Not convinced until they find a Dyson sphere...
That's an _integration_ failure. We're talking about testing two entirely different things here. Of course you shouldn't expect to test integration scenarios in unit tests.

But you also shouldn't expect to test all unit scenarios in integration tests. This is what the "trophy testing" model advocates for. That somehow unit tests are not needed if you have thorough integration tests, which is entirely false.

They test the application at different layers, because they're meant to ensure behavior to different types of users. They're both useful for catching bugs and unexpected behavior, and they're meant to complement each other.
I actually love the youtube comments you see on old music videos--they are almost entirely aging people reminiscing about music from their era, recounting stories about people they knew and experiences they had while listening to the music. Drop into the comment section for the song "80's Ladies" by KT Oslin if you want to feel a bracing sense of your own mortality.
I've had a 6 pack my entire adult life so I can't empathize with anyone in this situation sorry.
It's possible that different sets of people hold different opinions. I'm in the "build the people's browser" camp. I don't care where the $500 million comes from, but it doesn't seem to mostly go into Firefox development, and I wish it would.
As of now, we do not have the technical capability to deterministically virtualize a GPU. This is an area of interest for us, however. Anybody interested in helping with this should reach out!

Madison WI hit a new February all time temperature record. It was the average June temperature. They warned forever that after the ocean and glaciers absorbed a certain amount of excess heat that air temperatures would hockey-stick. I was hoping I wouldn't live through it.
Neat site but it almost needs a flash/epilepsy warning =P
I was recently reading the book of Exodus, in particular where G-d tells Moses and the Jewish people about the construction of the tabernacle and the altar. The striking thing about the altar is the description of daily sacrifices that are required.

As a metaphor, this resonates to what we're talking about there. The nature of the universe is such that change happens much more through compounding than through one-time miracles (eg, if you want an extra 100K in the bank, the easiest way to do that is to have saved $27 every day over the last 10 years than somehow to wish for the 100K to land in your account in one shot, the way to lose 10 lbs is to cut out 100 calories a day for a year, etc.)

Back to Exodus - you can think of "$27/day" or "100 calories/day" as a form of sacrifice. You can always spend that money on something, you an always eat an extra treat - to not do that requires consistent, daily, sacrifice, albeit small.

That's why when someone does something consistently, we say he does it "religiously" - religion teaches you daily consistency in many ways. We don't sacrifice on the altar nowadays, but think about daily morning prayer for example - if you can be consistent with that you can be consistent with a lot of other things.

The piece seemed a bit wooly to me. This bit caused a little twinge of pain:

Signals from such a transmitter placed on a planet spinning around a foreign star would drift in time when observed from Earth, "the same as when an ambulance goes past you, the sound of it shifts from very high to very low"

What's wrong with saying Doppler, frequency, or pitch maybe?
Well, planet earth is travelling through space...

The excerpt of the section on memory safety and space that I read seemed to be more concerned with deterministic timing.

Did they address memory corruption?

Totally agree with this sentiment. I love open-source and will be on it's side to the end. But I'm not sure I want it forced upon people either. Companies should believe in the model and developers should choose companies that believe in that model.

I went to see the Piedra del Águila total eclipse in Argentina (December 2020) and it was something out of this world, like really, I'm there for every partial eclipse and this experience was worth the money spent, the distance I traveled, the absurd amount of sand I've eaten that day, the heat, the sudden freezing temperatures, every negative thing before the actual eclipse was instantly vanished when I looked up and saw the ring of fire, you're suddenly not in this planet, all the people near you are screaming with tears of joy, clapping, hugs everywhere, it's just incredible.

If you're in a relative near location to the path, leave everything you're doing and go see it, this is not just an astronomical event for astronomy fans, it's a social gathering to see the most amazing thing in your life.
I just wonder so, if there are multiple planets in equal distance between them, would we be able to tell the difference between three planets and one on a fast orbit?
Firefox Rely is the best mail alias service I’ve used. Even though my Fastmail subscription comes with both aliases and masks, I still pay the 1$/month for Relay. It’s such a great UX to be able to create new alias on demand.

> Wild boars are neither endangered, nor are they native to Norway, so those do not detract from conservationist efforts in any way

That's exactly the spirit, right. The West will invent the rules, according to which it does not have to do anything (and be praised if it does something), whereas some other countries have to preserve nature on their own budget.

I don't think that Biosphere anyhow values orangutans more than it does boars.

I guess you could set up an entity in Indonesia with accordance with local laws and just pay for the privilege.

I can see that most of my comments are now flagged. That's why nobody in the world listens to what the West has to say anymore. There's no possibility of a discussion.
That's the thing though, Yuzu doesn't ship with the common keys. Yuzu's quick start guide provides clear instructions for how to root a physical switch and dump the keys from the device, but it doesn't ship with the keys itself. What Nintendo is alleging is that providing the instructions to dump the keys is equivalent to providing them itself.
Flexbox will be seen by aliens as alien technology, our peak, our absolute pinnacle before collapse.
tldr:

1. Star system 100ly away.

2. Piqued interest of astronomical community, because "The six planets orbit their central star HD 110067 in a harmonic rhythm with planets aligning every few orbits"

3. No accurate data on masses of planets.

4. No radio signals or other "technosignatures" detected.

So, super unclear what #2 means and why this is interesting at all / whether it's uncommon.
That seems like such an easy thing to fix, though. The land a listed building is sitting on should be zoned only for the listed building. If it burns down, it gets rebuilt exactly, or donated to the public. Allowing developers to benefit from such "accidents" is the problem.
A civil war. Right. Completely displaying your ignorance of the region's history.
>Putin did that.

No. As I said, not even an actual land war in Europe has been as effective as Trump's mean words in getting Western Europe to actually get off their butts regarding defense.
I'm not sure what use that is, other than to maintain the KV cache across requests.
I think the tech industry understands this perfectly well. Large parts also understand that actually asking for and respecting consent will reduce their income stream some. The primary directive of the tech industry is to profit regardless of the cost or harm to others.
This is a perfect example of how Sundar is a terrible leader. He gave a super-bland email to the company which basically said that offending users is unacceptable and that the system must not have any bias.

Neither of those is a reasonable goal. The goal is to come up with something that isn't massively offensive, not completely unoffensive and with no bias. But Sundar is basically a person who got to where he is by attempting to be maximally unoffensive and it's clear the company is now being held back by his poor leadership and lack of vision.
I still need to use Chrome for YouTube when I'm on my Windows 11 desktop unfortunately. YouTube in FF causes weird issues with my monitor turning on and off after I've been watching YT for more than like 20 min. It gets into a state where any new windows I open or close cause the screen to turn off then on. I have no idea where to even begin diagnosing what's going on. This behavior seemingly goes away when I run YT in chrome and everything else in FF.
This is a big red flag:

> "The GreenerCars report analyzes 1,200 cars available in 2024, assessing both the carbon dioxide emissions of the vehicle while it’s on the road and the emissions of manufacturing the car and battery."

First, fossil fuel consumption, not carbon dioxide emissions, is the important metric if you're concerned about climate. Humans eat food and breath out carbon dioxide; it's not going to change atmospheric CO2 because photosynthesis. EVs do not consume fossil fuels; hybrids do.

Second, fossil fuel use during manufacturing depends entirely on the power sources used to run the whole manufacturing chain and in the real world may be all over the map, depending on whether coal, gas, nuclear, or solar/wind are the primary energy inputs to the process.

This is the kind of low-quality inaccurate and slanted reporting that I've come to expect from the big three US papers - NYT, WaPo, WSJ.

It would be context dependent. For automatically-generated alt-text you’d likely see some human-understandable representation of the text which would likely be something like, “… 1919 GDP up to 4 million, 1920 GDP down to 3.9 million, …” On my own personal site when I’ve presented charts, I usually give an overall interpretation of the data, see, e.g., https://www.dahosek.com/2023-in-rejections-and-acceptances/ or https://www.dahosek.com/writerly-resolutions-november-status... (I just realized, looking at these pages that I need to do some fiddling with WP templates to get rid of the big ugly display of the featured image at the top of the page which doesn’t include any alt text at all). But the point is that just throwing unlabeled numbers at the user is not an acceptable presentation for accessibility.
I find it hard to believe that you were disallowed from writing these statements on Twitter before Musk took over.

As per the article: this is a trust issue.

Given the approximately same setup and use-case: Who do you trust more to keep encryption strong and unbroken?

OFC trustless verification and such would be my ideal for a very impractical version of "ideal". Where I'd run my own server software, read all it's source code, read all the source code of the client, monitor all my network traffic, and do so for all updates. Given this is unattainable for me (for one: I lack the skills to really vet encryption software), I'll revert to a more practical "I trust Mozilla to at least try and implement secure and proper encryption and to be open about it".

Makes me think about the blunder from the first season of Star Trek: Picard. A mysterious, unknown star system, hidden deep in Romulan space[0], with 8 stars and a habitable-ish planet suspended in the middle. Clearly engineered. But I can't imagine how it could stay hidden; I'd expect it to stick out like a sore thumb from across the galaxy on any star survey, even with present-day telescopes...

Thanks for the note! SecretStr is a good call as well. I'll switch to using that for the database layer. Also removed DS_Store in the latest PR (really thought I had ignored globally but they snuck in anyway).
It feels a bit like saying the built in car media console can show maps, answer phone calls, read notifications, etc. That all may be true, but I prefer the experience you get from Android Auto.

Yeah I agree it's not entirely laws. Western countries (in their public cultures) treat money as the supreme good in life, so predictably almost everyone is miserable. Many people hide from their misery by checking out. So there's certainly more to it than laws.
Some of the features I use on my Apple Watch all the time:

- Turn-by-turn directions with full-featured map apps.

- Stream and control podcasts.

- Ditto Audiobooks.

- As a remote shutter for my phone camera (eg group selfies).

- Dedicated 3rd party fitness apps (Alltrails, strength training apps).

I understand all this functionality is not everyone's cup of tea, but there's clearly a market for it.
The actual pattern was intended to follow "previous / sqrt(2)", such that every node would double areal density, and every two nodes would double linear density.
there's a whole set of terminology about 'exceptions', 'traps', and 'signaling' in ieee 754 that i don't really understand, but in particular the second thread i linked there seems to claim that an ieee 754 'exception' is almost, but not quite, completely unlike a python 'exception', which it apparently calls a 'trap' (as do many cpu architectures):

> When exceptional situations need attention, they can be examined immediately via traps or at a convenient time via status flags. Traps can be used to stop a program, but unrecoverable situations are extremely rare.

you know quite a bit about cpus. do you know of any ieee-754 cpus that trap on floating-point division by zero by default? is there a way to configure commonly-used cpus to do so?
COROS wasn't as much of a thing when I bought my watch, but I personally intend to stick with Garmin when I need a new watch. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with transmitting my activity data to China, I'm not confident COROS will have longitivtiy, and my Garmin support experience has kept me as a loyal customer (had a nasty injury that scratched the screen of my watch – replaced for 45$. Silicon band was giving my rashes – Nylon band sent for free)

There are other elements to this "Netherlands becoming a narco state" which are not being talked about. Specifically, the manner in which organised crime is being investigated. Which is it's not just being investigated, they also carry out what they call interventions.

I was unlucky enough to live directly between a person that was arrested and convicted for growing weed in his house in 2005 and the civilian that the investigators were using to both spy on and "intervene" on (harrassment basically) in an illegal manner. This continued for the next 10 years!! And the government were protecting him. This is simply government facilitated harrassment of innocent civilians caught up the collateral damage. And then they blame it on the victim.

How these people can sleep at night when they pull together the resources of the council, the police and the OM to strip the innocent people who are colateral damage of their illegal activities of their rights for absolutely no purpose at all astounds me.

The the word "undermining" is simply the equivalent to the word "terrorism" it's being used as a power grab to make new laws to bypass democracy. The investigators in this country and the ones undermining the democratic state of law. (Except there is no longer a functioning democratic state of law in the Netherlands).
