Ok I spent way too long trying to beat this, but I finally did at 15-11.

Basics: You can spike the ball and influence the direction. Holding up makes it a garbage hit so you must release jump immediately after jumping. This does not affect jump height. The two useful options are holding left and holding down, but not both (another garbage angle). Left is your bread and butter. Most shots should be left. Down works if you're right next to the net only, and will depend on where the ball is.

Generally speaking, don't try to spam strikes. Just stay on the ground to set the ball. You want to get it nice and slow in your center, which will bait ai pikachu into coming forward. then you do a left shot to try and get him.

The first few second are the easiest to score on. If ai pikachu is serving jump a bit after him and left spike. I score about 20% of the time on this return. There's a good chance that he will return in a way that is vulnerable to a down spike at the net or another left spike, but if you fail to score here, go to the neutral game setting tactic.

If you're serving don't hit the ball. Walk forward an inch to set the ball in your court and then left spike him after one toss. Gets me a point on serve about 1/3 of the time.

Don't jump to anticipate where the ball will go. Wait until he hits it at least.

You can also do behind the back spikes which works well for left spikes but is a suicide for down spikes.

I only really figured out the downspike at the end. I think I could crush him with this knowledge but that took too long.
There's at least one critical functional difference: The URL stays in the browser's history after it's been visited.
Agreed, I hate the way a lot of their stuff looks. It's OK for TV but a lot of their film stuff looks sterile to me. I think that's part of why the Arri digital camera has a lot of fans.

I got my first Nikon camera a few years ago after all previous ones being Canon. At first I was a little taken aback by how things looked slightly smeared when you zoomed into the individual pixels...but I rapidly came to love it. Perhaps their sensors/glass are less 'perfect' but I love more of the pictures I take with it.
Mooooom someone added "diverse" to the system prompt again
Because this project is about humans and the environment's impact on them, and what they can do to improve it. So naturally human timescales are the measure on which we judge it. What happens in 10 million years is not something we can even pretend to comprehend or influence in a meaningful way. But what happens in the next 100 is.
You should fight for automated light metro. Just put the light rail on elevated viaducts (which wouldn't cost much more), and run the same trains fully automated (normally an option on those trains). The whole thing becomes cheap to run (which is where the costs are in modern cities), and much faster.

Yes. The point is they shouldn't be.

> in all likelihood the app will be forced to sell to an American owner

That is the bill. ByteDance would have to sell TikTok to a non-foreign adversary country owner. It could be American, but also e.g. European.
Emacs' standard find-file function also does it, and I've since gotten so used to it that it's very irritating when I have to use a piece of software that doesn't complete like that.
Strassen's algorithm is rarely used: its primary use, to my understanding, is in matrix algorithms of more exotic fields than reals or complex numbers, where minimizing multiplies is extremely useful. Even then, Strassen only starts to beat out naive matrix multiply when you're looking at n >= 1000's--and at that size, you're probably starting to think about using sparse matrices where your implementation strategy is completely different. But for a regular dgemm or sgemm, it's not commonly used in BLAS implementations.

The more advanced algorithms than Strassen's are even worse in terms of the cutover point, and are never seriously considered.
I feel like it's mixing up definitions for the word safety.

C++ is unsafe therefore it falls into the bucket of things that need to be age restricted.
OK I'll spell it out: they're friendly nations who respect each others sovereignty. Actual power is irrelevant because it's not used. Claims to the contrary tend to be political and sometimes conspiracy theories motivated by animus. A reasonable person would readily agree they're friendly nations.

The US doesn't threaten or intimidate the EU or vica versa (Trump is an aberration).

To further make the point: NATO membership means they've undertaken to fight and die for each other's protection, how much more friendly can you get?
In retrospect is there any point to these error detecting codes or was it just good intentions?

This. Digital video sends a key frame every N frame and deltas in between (well, slightly more complicated...) Lose a frame or two due to bandwidth and you see motion tearing.
> So maybe, in 50 years from now, Russia will join NATO, too?

While not technically impossible, practically this is very hard to see. Unless Russia becomes a market liberal, well functioning democracy, it will not happen -- and what are the odds of that?

Russia had the chance after the collapse of the Soviet Union, instead it devolved into a plutocracy and what is essentially a one-party state in anything but name.

Regardless of what some people might think, in no small part due to many people seeing Russia as the spiritual successor to the SU combined with its vast geographical size, Russia is not a superpower, and will not become one in our lifetime.

Yes, they have nukes. So does the UK, and the UK economy is 20% larger than Russia despite is essentially being an island off Europe. How about France? They have nukes too, and their economy is 30% larger.

Russia is a failed state at the tail end of a century long brain drain, crippled by corruption and authoritarian rule, but none of these things are the most deciding factor in why they will never be part of NATO; the primary reason is that Russia quite simply has an empire complex.

What do you get if you combine economical stagnation and a dead empire inferiority complex? You get Hitler, or in this case Putin, and I very much doubt any of us will see a "rehabilitation" of the Russian people like we saw in Germany in our lifetime.
> I humbly bow before the Ukraine.

Note that “Ukraine” is now preferred to “the Ukraine”; the latter term was used in Soviet times to diminish its autonomy by implying it was just a region of the USSR.

Ask HN: Modern Equivalent of Mulberry Harbours
Immediately after D-Day the Allies deployed two artificial harbours in Normandy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulberry_harbour).
Now looks like USA are planning to create an artificial port in front of Gaza to help distributing food and medicines to the civilians.

My question: the Mulberry harbours components were built in UK over a period of one year.

How long would it take to create an equivalent structure today?
Is there any information about USA Engineer Corps having something already available for this kind of situations?
Occam would presume, as most do, that we are the first sufficiently advanced, detectable, species to leave the gravitational well we were born in, and the first in the observable universe, so far.

There is more to the universe than what we can observe, our light cone is a fraction of the expected higher bound, assuming a finite universe.

We are also one of the first generation of planets with heavy elements - decreasing the odds of a species originating before us.

But the universe will be around for a long, long time;

Far, far longer than it has so far. We may be the first, but to assume a filter at this point is an anthropomorphic bias so ingrained it's nearly impossible to cognitively self-reflect on.
Seems kind of small tbqh.
Blocking a Chinese government controlled and subsidized entity from unfettered operation on your soil doesn't even remotely intersect "freedom of speech".

Someone domestic can create a TikTok clone if they feel like their free speech is being impinged. Problem solved.

Disconnecting from China is simply smart domestic security.
Thank you! Nickname is a play on where I used to work and one of my hobbies.
A lot of interesting takes in the comments where growing more plants will somehow cause ecological disaster. The only exception I can see is diverting water to support it. Otherwise, I have never heard such a thing.
Imminently. We always use the best weapons at our disposal and care less about selves or others!
Last time I checked you can't access X or facebook in China?

The government shouldn't tell us what to do... but then again I wound't using the Chinese tracking device called TikTok. (or facebook/X)
I too, agree that we should keep minors away from C++

> Americans don't win by letting the American government become more and more like the Chinese government

China straight up banned us, there was no provision for local devolution.
I think they are referring to the many times the domain name has been seized, and shut down temporarily.
I do not know how damages are calculated in the US tort system. What do they say about the books3 dataset?

I also think that the case is different here, since in your example, there is a specific amount of money being stolen, while in the books3 case, there is an unspecified amount of money not being made by the authors.
Those sizes refer to the data before processing and filtering. The actual training size was about 3 TB:

The Stack v2 is ten times larger than its predecessor, yielding a raw dataset of 67.5 TB. Through extensive cleaning, filtering, and subsampling of the source code, along with the incorporation of other high-quality code-related datasets, we created a training set of approximately 3TB (900B+ tokens).

Source: the paper, Section 10 (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.19173.pdf)
So much of this thread is concerned not with the achievement of this data set, but with the (by comparison) silly and outdated spat over how to frame it as "property" for the purposes of government intervention (pursuant to which jurisdiction?).

The era of intellectual "property" is over. Let's be at peace with that and just move on into the next age.
Even that important quote is misrepresentative.

It's like saying that "Half the time I win and half the time everyone else loses, so it's fair." Which isn't really fair at all considering the size of the groups[1]

1. 1 vs Rest in the extreme example. n=|people who are rich| vs m=|people who are not rich| in the context we're considering.
I appreciate the clarification
I wonder if it’s like Spotify’s new AI DJ.

Which I listened to for only 10s of minutes before it played a type of song completely unlike anything I’d ever listened to and would never listen to, at which point I was like “nope!” and I have no intent of trying it again.

I also don’t care for DJ chatter, so didn’t like that, but if it helped me find more tracks similar to what I was listening to, I could live with it.

What I want from my music streaming is a little bit of variety on what I already listen to. Essentially a huge shuffle list with occasional new tracks I can up or downvote, further training it on what kind of music I like.
Sounds like a joke, an oxymoron.
This violates the "One Tool" constraint that OP requested, but the Standard Ebooks tool chain is available on Github for anyone interested: https://github.com/standardebooks/tools
Naturally, but I wonder what writers are going to do when the AI trained purely on suitably licensed content is still good enough to make most redundant.

(The authors in best seller's lists may well be immune for a bit longer than others writers, as they're necessarily the top 0.1% of writers, but not forever: nay-sayers claimed that AI could never beat humans at chess or go because the games required special human insight).
They're already worthless then, because they took a round of investor money last year.
I'm pro NATO, but I don't think the support of the US is guaranteed. The US has always been an unreliable partner: it depends on who's in power.

If the republican war hawks or moderate Democrats are in power they would support Latvia, but libertarians and far leftists would say "it's not our problem".
In fact, one of the two major smartphone platforms IS running some version of BSD.
This isn't just a "sit in a class and learn" thing. While the American workers are being trained the plant will haemorrhage money as yields are bad. This kind of shortsightedness is a classic rent-seeking strategy by unions. But that's normal, union leaders are always fighting the last war. Additionally, they serve present workers, not people who could be workers.

After all, employers would rather choose local workers since they're way easier to get. The problem is that you need to run the plant effectively. You can't do that with a 100% untrained workforce. You need a skilled workforce that you can then augment locally as you scale. You need to build the pipeline, but that takes time and you need to be alive during that time to succeed.

This kind of "it's the filthy capitalists" is just that brand of online ranting that has always been popular. It's not interesting because it barely attempts to look at causes. Filthy capitalists would rather make money than spend 3x as much and take 2x as long to build a plant. Time is money. Especially literal now with high interest rates.
Your last sentence is a non-sequitur.
The value of Intel's oneAPI tool chain is that you can write code that runs on their GPU, much like Nvidia's cuda or nvhpc.

While I don't think it's because you're wrong, per se, it's just that none of this drama really matters.
I somehow initially thought that the iMessages went through some LLM which retold them in nice Brothers Grim style. But from another perspective it also makes sense to have the originals, although the author is perhaps much better than me in writing messages which may one day be worth reading…
instead, you could just double negate to optimize away the square root

The training data distribution is the only thing that matters, not the actual content
I appreciate your more substantive contributions to the thread, but you've also broken the site guidelines a lot, such as by accusing others of not commenting in good faith. Can you please edit that sort of thing out of your HN posts in the future?

They—or someone in Canada or India or Europe—can also buy it. It’s a divestiture bill, not a ban.

12 years ago, Firefox wasn't multi process. So your bug would likely freeze the entire browser, including the UI. Considering that, back then, Firefox reloaded all tabs back when you reopened it, it would keep freezing even if you force closed it. Fun times.

All true of course. However, that is not how I read it. It said put me in touch with your counsel. If their answer is "I am my own counsel" then your take is that this is a crime?

Of course, I understand if they say "I am an attorney" and they are not. But that is not what is being said. It reads like a grimy way for a bigger business to try to "trap" people without as many resources.
I've sometimes had a similar issue with searching at www.startpage.com. It became increasingly frequent during work-from-home, blocking me with a captcha or a false message titled "Just Checking…" (implying they're inspecting something, but actually requiring that you fill out a freeform text box explaining yourself). After a few dozen times, I started appending to the textbox an appeal for a paid version.

When I switched to eu.startpage.com, it stopped treating me like a bot. But eventually it started misbehaving in other ways: more than a page of ads (more than two, on mobile!), inserting the ads at the last moment so that your eyes and sometimes your click or tap would land on an ad. Occasionally, I'd win by searching for something so esoteric that no ads displayed. But later they started inserting results specific to my realworld location for searches that returned few or no results.

I reluctantly removed the adblock exemption for StartPage, which causes them to now insert a plea to support them by enabling ads. I contacted their support, who refused to believe that the had pages of ads, and they had no interest a paid version.

Then I found Kagi, and tried it every once in a while until it matured. I still sometimes goto StartPage's EU site on other computers, but on my own I mainly use Kagi.
> It's also because younger people are more impulsive.

This is more of a stereotype than a universal constant, and you could just as easily say things like "younger people have faster reflexes and better eyesight" etc.

The question isn't whether some group in the aggregate has different statistical properties, it's whether we're willing to discriminate against an entire class of people, including the ones who aren't the cause of it, because of that statistical correlation.

Which is the same reason people saying things like "people over 65 should have their license taken away" are just as wrong.
Want to reference Groq.com. They are developing their own inference hardware called an LPU https://wow.groq.com/lpu-inference-engine/

They also released their API a week or 2 ago. Its significantly faster than anything from OpenAI right now. Mixtral 8x7b operates at around 500 tokens per second. https://groq.com/
CORDIC is pretty obsolete, AFAIK. Its advantage is that its hardware requirements are absolutely tiny: two (?) accumulator registers, and hardware adders and shift-ers—I think that's all. No multiplication needed, in particular. Very convenient if you're building things from discrete transistors, like the some of those earlier scientific calculators!

(Also has a nice property, apparently, that CORDIC-like routines exist for a bunch of special functions and they're very similar to each other. Does anyone have a good resource for learning the details of those algorithms? They sound elegant).
Damn. Screwed that 2022 one up. My bad.
Gemini seems to be very far from ready for a public release. Google would have been better off delaying it until it didn't have tons of embarrassing bugs, many of which have been turned into "evidence" for conspiracy theories.
I have a different perspective. If NATO hadn't expanded to Turkey, Sweden and Finland would have had a much easier time not being blackmailed. NATO expanding to essentially-dictatorship countries was too eager.

And yes, I understand Turkey's geographical position giving it power over sea routes, and why that was desirable to NATO. But choosing to include a fickle ruler in a unanimous-decisions-only organization is just asking for trouble.

(The Baltics wanted in on NATO, and it's good that they got in. They're largely decently run small countries in a tough spot, not world stage bullies.)

There are also the three graphical PLC languages standardized by the IEC - Ladder, Function Block Diagram, and Sequenced Function Chart.

They're used everywhere - anywhere you see a shiny metal cabinet with conduit running in and out, there's a chance there's a PLC plugging away in there.

Ladder dates back to the 70s and I'm willing to bet is the most used graphical language in existence. It looks like the relay diagrams that electricians use.

Watch the recent Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin.

There is a literally 2 hours long historical lecture from Putin, explaining in great detail why (to his opinion) Ukraine doesn't and shouldn't exist as a sovereign state and "in fact" never was, since the beginning of the history, LMAO. This is what really concerns him, if you listen. In his reality, Ukraine is a Russian province, not an independent state.

He goes as far as justifying Hitler's attack on Poland ("they made him to attack by not voluntarily giving away their territory, it was Poland's fault") — sic. You see where he goes?

So it seems that NATO didn't bother him very much, it is just a red herring or "diplomatic speak" to express his true concerns. The real issue is Ukraine's sovereignty / independence. Joining NATO is just an act of that sovereignty, that couldn't be tolerated.
Saying you're "not a partisan" on climate is actually admitting that you are a partisan skeptic of very well-established science.

Huge regions have burned, flooded, fallen into the ocean, or been destroyed by hurricanes in "once in 100 years" events.

The predictions were never that the whole world would be affected at once. They said that "impossible" and "rare" disasters would become commonplace and resources would become scarce. Those things have happened.

The 'Empire' podcast ran a series about Russia:
https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/empire/id1639561921

It is clear from listening to the podcast that Russia has always been nightmare to live in (unless you perhaps belonged to a tiny elite) or have as a neighbour. Serfdom wasn't abolished until 1861.
