The USA hasn't been involved in South American politics since the 60s/70s. The political problems there now are all of their own making.

The Middle East is an unstable place. Not due to the USA.

Countries that have become liberal free market democracies have benefitted tremendously in living standards. I wouldn't describe Sweden, Singapore or Poland "shackled" to the USA.

We can absolutely see the positive impact on the USA around the world:

- North Korea (not US aligned) vs South Korea.
- Ukraine (invaded by Russia) vs Baltic countries.
- Venezuela (Socialist) Vs Chile (a liberal democracy).

Lots of idiots have this juvenile "blame everything on the USA" mentality. I suppose because it's easier than doing any critical thinking.
I think the lack of redundancy is the issue. Redundant electrical connections can be very robust otherwise they wouldn't put them in F-35s.
Yeah so? I think you're suffering from geneticism. The idea that we only change through inherited traits and mutations over geological time periods is ancient nonsense compared to what we know about epigenetics now.

The irony is Jean Baptiste Lamarck had it closer than anyone. Animals genetically adapt to new environments in their own lifetimes and that includes making changes to the DNA.

We can also help them to adapt.

The idea that this is dismissive of the problem is nonsense. It's the solution.
> Contrary to popular belief, China does not give a damn about what any random particular individual reads or even writes.

Try to get through Chinese immigration wearing a T-shirt that says "Tienanmen Square 1989" or "Free Tibet" and I'll bet you will find that they care quite a lot.
Good point.

I wonder if the problem is children's programming.
>where you may want package stability

Oh not you again, i already explained to you that FreeBSD supports old versions ~5 year's of important software like postgresql/php etc. for example postgres 12-16, redis 6.2-7, python 2.7/3-3.9, openjdk 8-22.

BTW many rolling and stop-rolling Linux distros do the same. I don't understand why you try to bullshit others.
jQuery? :D

it's true, coding was easy with jQuery ...

thing is, on chrome os you can enable debian app support(in two different ways), you basically get both linux apps and android apps, on android it's not that straightforward. Idk how is this done under the hood, but from an user POV chromeos is closer to a windows with wsl2 support with friendlier experience
What is so special in this extension that I can not install it on Chrome 80, any minimal requirements defined?

> That's more or less true though?

No it isn't. It was done correctly in this case. But if you study the history of NASA and DoD contracting the idea that they always perfectly evaluate is nonsense.

Literally during the very selection process you talk about, a NASA employ was fired because he tried to give Boeing an unfair advantage. How many times in history was this not caught?

Often the selection documents aren't public. The idea that lobbying and politics have no influence of government selection is just being naive.

Just recently in commercial Crew Starliner was selected over Dreamchaser. Despite Dreamchaser being considerably cheaper, and offering much more utility. NASA just assumed that Starliner would be done fast because it was Boeing. The reality many believe without Boeing CommercialCrew would have failed.

We can go threw history, as far back as you like. The Supersonic transport, you basically had Boeing proposing an absurdly complex incredibly ambitious design, despite being the company with the least amount of experience. They were selected despite the other projects being much more reasonable and much cheaper.
> Git is in a sense a primitive tool: only about snapshotting, not about high-falutin things like “passes the tests”, “is okay with Bob”, and so on. It’s just about tracking state.

Git might be, but how many people want to use git is to provide useful commit histories, both for any reviewers at the time and any code spelunkers 10 years into the future. Having a tool that tries to make that easier isn't a bad idea.
I don't know where you live, but if you're feeling smug about being in Europe, Europe is going automatic. 30% and rising if I recall correctly plus EVs don't need manual transmissions anymore.
Camdiab (https://camdiab.com/faq) is available in some places (UK) to provide automated blood sugar level management.

I have dived into this a bit, and the thing that I grokked is the challenge of proving that the algorithm/device loops really work and are really safe. There has been a lot of painstaking work to develop and certify a thing like Camdiab. Unfortunately it also means that it's important to buy the right smartphone to make sure that the right libraries are available and being used by the app... Has been a bit expensive.

They have also walked the road of testing and proving the devices/algorithm for use in small children and teenagers. Bear in mind that this is all very complicated and there are a lot of differences in the behaviour of different hormone systems in different cohorts.
Surely a raspberry pi is the best server to throw? Mine has a metal passive cooling case so I think it could be thrown really far.
You see an LLM as something that copies stuff.

I don't.

A judge will have to decide which it is. So far, they're leaning to "it's not a copy machine"

Edit: and yes. I find it immoral when an author has a say in how I use the book after buying it. Whether I whipe my ass with the paper, or display it in a shrine is non of his business. I bought the carrier, it is mine. And under copyright law (EU), I'm free to sell my copy to a second hand bookstore, and that bookstore is free to sell it and make a profit.
I understand the nuances of digital carries that can duplicate their contained knowledge much easier than a paper book can, but I find it immoral that the ebook I buy, cannot be read by my wife on her ereader without her buying it as well.
AF447 is often misunderstood, there simply is no easy root cause for that particular accident. Or any other aerospace accident, it always is a combination of multiple factors.
It is somewhat crazy that the shift to a touch screen, which for some, is hard to use and for all, lacks tactile feedback. You can't beat a button or a dial-in in that respect or even replicate that fully on the limitations of a touchscreen.

It almost feels like there is an untapped market for after-market physical controls that can interface with the car that is begging to be tapped. Equally, shudder if somebody patented the ability to add physical controls to augment touch interfaces.
I have been diabetic for 16 years.
I love your mood and I respect you, when you are sad or angry with the illness, reread this post and remember how sure you were that you could handle everything.
It's not easy (mentally and practically) and for me, for many years, the situation has been "joyfully out of control"
Just yesterday I cried (really!) watching that for the first time in my sick life I had a 36 hour streak on target. 100% green for 36 hours. I repeat, I cried. Maybe I understood. Maybe...
The leap in quality after years to 60% was due to:
- microinfusor connected to the CGM (a revolution compared to pens)
- having had the opportunity to share my experience as a diabetic with a group of other diabetics. Something like Alcoholics Anonymous but much more like Fightclub :-D
- having installed a VM with NightScout to always have an eye on blood sugar levels and trends EVERYWHERE: phone, clock, desktop widget, alarm clock, fridge :-D
- count the CHO with German precision (and analyze the history with respect to pre/post blood sugar levels) and do the boluses STRICTLY 15 minutes before the meal. I hate hate hate living like this but IT WORKS

Tieni duro. Non ti disunire
There are lots of books that don't get published in ideologically-controlled Western countries anymore.

For example trying to write a balanced biography of the military leader that got us (Romania) into WW2 [1] alongside the Germans has become next to impossible, you'd risk breaking several anti-genocide laws. That was not the case before our accession into the
NATO and EU ideological structures (the mid-2000s).

What's funny is that the one biography of Antonescu [2] that is not entirely about how "he was a very bad genocidaire" has been written by a person of Jewish ethnicity at a very small printing house (almost self-published), I guess the powers that be thought that it would have looked bad were they to go after a Jewish person who had tried to be impartial to Antonescu.

Please avoid trolling on hn. Larping as an uneducated racist anti-vaxxer who still doesn't understand vaccines counts as trolling, so please just don't do it. Thank you.
The USA helped South Korea become a free liberal democracy. Much better living standards than North Korea.

Yugoslavia broke up because of ethnic fighting, not an US invasion. Most former Yugoslavian countries are now heading towards, or members of the EU.

Yes the USA is in favour of democracy, liberalism and free-trade. That's something to be proud of not ashamed of.
Thank you for graphviz.

I use graphviz dot syntax, parsing with networkx to plan expensive tool execution and the graph structure lets me automatically paralellize.
Our son had no screen time and the odd bit of TV up until 2 years old. On his second birthday my wife thought it would be a nice idea to give him an amazon fire kids (because everyone else had one, though not sure how true that is!). A few things we observed:

1. Whilst there IS good content on there. A lot of it is complete nonsense. cocomelon, paw patrol, baby shark, AI generated rubbish etc. and quite a lot of the games are terrible. Toddlers don't know the difference between what is good and what is bad. You cannot monitor them effectively because amazon provides access to all content by default. He would quite easily get through 20-30 apps/videos in one sitting. That's a lot of different content!

2. Instead of reading, playing with his lego, wooden blocks, trainset or doing puzzles, his goto became the tablet. He wanted it at all meal times, in the car, and before bed. If we didn't give it to him, he had a meltdown. So we ended up giving it to him as we didn't have time to deal with the meltdown. Before the tablet, he didn't really meltdown at all.

3. Whilst he communicates well and talks a lot for a 2 year old. When using the tablet, he would completely zone out... "Would you like to eat supper?" ... tumbleweed. That's not great and aligns with TFA.

4. Not sure if correlated because there are lots of other factors at play but his bedtimes became a nightmare. He wanted the tablet, when before we read books like Mog the Cat or similar. Instead of being content with Daddy singing Jelly on the Plate, he wanted the horrid video on the tablet.

5. We live in a lovely rural area in the UK and he stopped wanting to go outside to instead play with the tablet.

6. Again, not sure if correlated but he became more irritable and restless after using the tablet.

7. He would complain there is nothing to do despite the availabily of toys.

And so... One day we told him the computer was broken. Mummy sent it to the factory to get it repaired. And... It's still being repaired to this day.

The first day was hell but now he's stopped asking for it and he's back to his normal self.

Perhaps we'll introduce it again when he's a bit older.
It's no worse than the other JPEG names: JNG, JPEG LS, JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, JPEG XS, JPEG XT

JPEG-HDR is probably the only one of them that gives away what it might be for.
Exactly.

Yes, it was a grass surface, but not lush grass - more closely mown and patchy, on hard soil.
Yeah, using a different domain isn't a bad idea. I had considered it, but I know slack doesn't do it. (I also know I'm not Slack).

There was a service I used some years (decades?) ago that let users choose from three or four domains that they owned. I could always do that in the future, too.
What I absolutely don't get is:

Processed food is mostly junk food. How does this approach account for that? They don't control for junk food (at least not mentioned in the abstract).

Noone would argue that junk food is bad for you and if 90% of UPF is junk food then please spare me the article.

For a good study shouldn't you have an index of "hypothetical healthiness" and have two groups (Proccessed and non-processed) that are the same in "hypothetical healthiness" and see the results?

This shows that junk food == bad and not processed == bad imo.
I can't tell if you are being partisan or I'm being dumb, but the obvious reading of what you've said suggests the exact opposite of your conclusion to me.

Having a clause where Congress can vote overwhelmingly to negate something suggests to me the person who wrote that though that someone outside of Congress got the first take.
ChromeOS started as a very weird thing, but increasingly they're moving toward being a reasonably normal GNU/Linux as we know it, with Wayland. And of course a good Android environment.
It's all fun and games until we reflexively hit ctrl-w to close a virtual window and end up closing the browser tab that window is running in :/.
Ha, nice! For those who don't get the references, "Hello, citizen!" and "Remember, the computer is your friend" are quotes from the tabletop RPG Paranoia, which of course features an all-controlling computer which is decidedly not your friend.
Jpegli has the possibility of using XYB. By default as by being just a replacement of mozjpeg or libjpeg-turbo it doesn't.

I believe Jon has compared jpegli without XYB. If you turn XYB on, you get about 10 % more compression.

Jpegli is great even without XYB. It has many other methods for success (largely copied over from JPEG XL adaptive quantization heuristics, more precise intermediate calculations, as well as the guetzli method for variable dead-zone quantization).

disclaimer: I created the XYB colorspace, most of the JPEG XL VarDCT quality-affecting heuristics, and scoped jpegli. Zoltan (from WOFF2/Brotli fame!) did the actual implementation and made it work so well.
I think they crippled pirating new Switch games because Yuzu won't be able to update to support new titles anymore.
If you live in a place where this is frequently required, in a Tesla you can put the defrost button on the shortcut bar at the bottom of the screen, where it only requires a quick glance to align your thumb to activate it. Which is actually easier than many cars with physical controls that may require multiple button presses and/or knob turns to configure all of the correct climate settings for defrosting in the current conditions.
If you're using Stm32s or Nordiks (among a few others) then I cannot recommend enough the Embassy framework.

I used it for a custom board I made and it not only consumed less power overall due to the automatic chip sleep state handling but has been drastically easier to work with than the provided C firmware.

Developer is also super responsive on Matrix and a nice guy.

No it doesn't. Concrete floor and structural walls, rest is some form of bricks, typical European modern building (Switzerland), absolutely good enough wifi signal in all rooms, on 2 storeys, no repeater or anyhow enhancing the reach. Router is in a far corner of whole structure, as far as possible from being in the center.

This is just basic phone company wifi router provided to us. It works well with all laptops, at least 20 different phones based on various visitors, desktop with some basic external wifi antenna (this one is farthest, 11m and 1 wall).

But we don't have any 'smart' crap in our house, no zigby stuff, no fridges with tablets in front or similar.

Interesting how many downvotes this triggered on all of my comments on HN that could still be downvoted.
> The USA hasn't been involved in South American politics since the 60s/70s.

That really does come across as rose coloured blinders.

The Iran–Contra affair was the 1980s.

More recently:

In what The New York Times described as "Washington’s most overt attempts in decades to carry out regime change in Latin America", the administration of President Donald Trump made an attempt of regime change in an effort to remove President Nicolás Maduro from office during the Venezuelan presidential crisis ...

Somehow my windows taskbar crashes... And alt tabbing doesn't work properly, I have to manually click on the windows in the overlay. My taskbar is always on top of windows, and they don't respect it's space so they just go under it and hide important stuff. Except firefox, which does respect the taskbar's space on a non-primary monitor, obviously leaving the space, but on the main screen it overlaps the taskbar entirely.

I don't really trust the datasource TBH, according to https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide the macOS marketshare went from 21.01% in November 2023 to 15.42% in February 2024. That doesn't sound realistic at all.

As always with that sort of conversation, I don't think "screen" is a valid category of interaction. Drawing on photoshop, watching a documentary on whales, playing bejeweled or using TikTok are very different activities that impact the brain differently.

My daughter is still young (2.5 years old), but I know that I'll let her play video games when she wants as long as it's as part of other activities in the day and that the games are ones that develop either her logic, creativity or motor skills.

Similarly, watching a quality show like bluey, or watching a full movie end to finish like Totoro in Japanese are watching activities I support, whereas watching some crap cartoon made to sell toys is not.
Not with the emotional or tolerance (tied to emotional) ones at least in my country.

I also see, if you are american, at least from my perception (I could be wrong!), that many attitudes from the younger generations are the result of overprotection.

Something I do not see in Asia to the level I see in developed countries in the westerner countries.
> you can't put your car in reverse without putting your foot on the brake

I've never seen that kind of protection. I've only driven manual cars though.

> The first officer who had more experience than the pilot flying the plane was unaware that the pilot was pulling back on the joystick

To be fair he had a light flashing in front of him and a repeated "dual input" sound to tell him just that.
Is the grass greener in Tehran?
Semantics. GNU/Linux is a subset of linuxes. Chrome OS runs a linux kernel, includes lots of libraries and other things from linux, which, like it or not, makes it another (and pretty significant) subset of linux. Which is why it is counted separately.
> It's because in many developing countries, phones are their only computers

Do you really think that people who work in offices in developing countries don't have computers?

For sure there are many people here for whom their phone is their only computer. But those are not the people I am emailing.

Besides, for it's development level, Vietnam is a well educated and fairly high tech country, especially in the cities. According to this site, PC ownership is similar to Greece at around 10 per hundred people, but I am sure if you could filter by just the large cities it would come out as much higher:

Not to sound dogmatic but I would suggest learning notation also at some point so that you can read the original sheet music. It will open up an entire world of what the composer wanted to express apart from just the notes.
I only mention it briefly in the piece, but Osborne were already working on an IBM compatible machine (codenamed the 'Wayne') when the company went under. It wasn't one of the things Osborne himself managed to retain the rights to. He kept the 'Vixen' design and eventually released a variant of that to limited success.

As usual, Osborne had spotted the direction of travel and was preparing to adapt to it through IBM Compatibility. But by that point the company (and R&D within it) was such a mess that the Wayne wasn't very far advanced.

Wouldn't surprise me if some minor elements from its development ended up in future Compaq machines - or at least were used to cross-check their own work - but not much.

I taught myself English at age 5 from watching American television. To this day I sound like I was born in SF despite not spending more than 6 months total there in my life. Television, and internet TV in particular, is the most amazing tool if you start using it properly. I mean ffs, I have access to lectures by world experts in every field one click away. 50 years ago you had to go on a sabbatical for a year to have a chance of doing what I for an hour before falling asleep now.
Pirating =/= Theft.
Thanks for showing the syntax to use! I computed the number of closed lambda terms of size 10 bits within 0 binders with nclosed(k=0, n=10) :

function nclosed(k:number, n:number) {
if (n < 2) return 0;
let sum = nclosed(k+1,n-2); // Lambda
for (let i = 2; i < n-1; i++) {
sum += nclosed(k,i) * nclosed(k,n-2-i); // Application
}
if (n-2 < k) sum += 1; // Variable
return sum;
}

Can any OS? I've got an (apparently) HDR-capable monitor but genuinely can't tell much of a difference on Win10/11, any Linux distro I've ever tried and my Macbooks provided by my work.

The whole HDR thing seems more like a meme or weird flex type of thing to me, I've never noticed it ever really making a difference for me.

Also a weird hill to die on when talking about relative strengths of each platform, but you do you.
They are partnering with Toyota on future EVs, not that Toyota has been a leader there either…
The reason why we don't hear more might be fear of professional repercussions as well. Speculative, but the impression remains and the fact that some prominent cases had a bad ending warrants suspicion.
>I'm fortunate enough to have never had that knock on my door

What's the most subversive thing you've ever posted, repeatedly, with a large number of people seeing it? Chances are that it's not being "fortunate" that keeps you save but you simply aren't of interest to them.

In Communist China, you're perfectly safe as long as you aren't the "wrong" ethnicity and never prominently criticize the Party. In democratic country X, despite people getting to vote, it's not fundamentally different.
Much easier to have a single physical button.
I couldn't agree more. Touch screen aren't cool, they're a necessary inconvenience where there's no room for physical controls (ie, phones and tablets) and can have some uses in multimedia systems, but using them for driving related or critical controls in cars is both stupid and dangerous: latency and lack of feedback could distract the driver attention away from the road, then a single hit on the screen and the user loses all controls at the same time.
