Yeah, I spent too much time this morning mastering this (thanks for sharing!). For me the key was realizing that - unlike most modern platformer controls - jump height isn't affected by the length of the key press. So you can quick tap jump, then use the direction keys to aim your spikes. The ground-dive is also quite useful.

Once you grasp these controls, you stand a chance. Once you master them, the AI becomes trivial to beat by this method: When serving, jump and perform a horizontal spike at the apex. The AI will defend it, then reliably do his own horizontal spike from the backcourt. Meet it at the net and spike it diagonally downwards. Works every time! And now I can rest (work).

THis is what you should fear:

Climate change compounds with ecosystem destruction compounds with species mass extinction compounds with ocean acidification:

And something in the "web" of species interdependence breaks and we get a total collapse of the biosphere in some functional way. Something like "no more crops will grow".

Or more ominously: oxygen-generating microorganisms in the sea go extinct.

This stuff is on the table.

Because all climate variation in previous generations occurred within a timeframe that evolution could adapt to, and without barriers to species migrating to new zones as they moved. Humans are destroying species and changing ecosystems faster than evolutionary adaptation can adapt to, probably by several orders of magnitude.

Fundamentally, modern human civilization is playing russian roulette with itself.
The stars would still rotate around the planet, but the rotation would be that of the planet rotating around its star.

Russia had in fact expressed desire to join NATO in Putin's early days as a president.

Apparently he wanted to fast-track, so it might have hurt his ego somehow, when he was told that Russia is no special.

https://web.archive.org/web/20240228155601/https://www.thegu...

George Robertson, a former Labour defence secretary who led Nato between 1999 and 2003, said Putin made it clear at their first meeting that he wanted Russia to be part of western Europe. “They wanted to be part of that secure, stable prosperous west that Russia was out of at the time,” he said.

The Labour peer recalled an early meeting with Putin, who became Russian president in 2000. “Putin said: ‘When are you going to invite us to join Nato?’ And [Robertson] said: ‘Well, we don’t invite people to join Nato, they apply to join Nato.’ And he said: ‘Well, we’re not standing in line with a lot of countries that don’t matter.’”

I get so jealous that people can absorb information via books as an adult. I can read the same chapter a hundred times and nothing sinks in.

I know this is off topic but do you, or anyone passing, have a system or tips for how y'all do this? I've got so many programming books but they only collect dust after I read through them without benefit.

Q&A: Microplastics researcher explains how to limit their dangers
Fair enough, but he's been in power for 18 years (1998-2002, 2010-present). He couldn't do that without widespread and lasting support.
>Remember, the year before invasion all what Russian diplomacy wanted - it is to give guaranties that Ukraine won't join NATO?

"The year before the invasion" - 2013, right? That's the year you're referring to? The year in which he got a 30 year lease on Sevastopol, thereby keeping Ukraine out of NATO for decades? Because Yanukovich was still in power, and doing everything to appease him?

Why is it that the medal Shoigu got for the Crimea takeover commemorates a date a week prior to Maidan, and two weeks prior to the "official" start of the invasion? Why is it that despite the "diplomacy" they never even attempted to abide by the Minsk agreements (and if you feel like disputing this, refresh yourself on article 10 and the timeline of events at Donetsk Airport)?
Fair point!

I guess my question is whether statistically speaking a MS Research Beijing caliber researcher in 2024 (or 2019) would prefer to work abroad in Bellevue or prefer to stay in China.

This is an open question and I'm not sure we'd have the granular level of data needed to test either hypothesis for at least a decade.

All I can use is anecdotal information, but that of course has biases.
It’s not absurd. The bottleneck for additional predation is not the available toolkit, else we’d see a more obvious correlation between a society’s resource endowment and its callousness.

Handwringing over the threat of AI without substantiating an argument beside “enabled volume” is just self-righteousness.

AI isn’t posed to shift the balance of MFA versus phishers in a way that can’t be meaningfully corrected in the short and long term, so using “scamming” as a means to oppose disseminating tech feels reductive at best.
Which is a shame. I really miss the old articles by Anand, Andrei, and Ian and their in-depth discussions about CPU and SoC architecture. I haven’t really found a consistent source to scratch that itch after they left.

I've seen examples of this, but they're nearly always isolated, rather difficult to obtain, and not in fact exact copies. You need to specifically ask for an exact copy, and then attempt to defeat the safeguards the model has in place to prevent this, and hope that it was "memorized" - which for the record is considered to be a flaw in the model as it's a reduction in information density and capability, compared to if that "memory" was used for something else. Good models seek to reduce this as much as possible. With the size of the datasets involve (see OP) this feels more like an understandable and reasonable issue to have.

Exactly this. I think we have to wrestle with the fact that, as consumers of media, we sometimes become possessed by Trick Question Syndrome. So even if nothing about the facts indicates than an intervention is bad, treating it like at trick question feels like healthy skepticism.

Never?

A regular dishwasher has the cost of production built completely into the purchase price, and it doesn't care what brand of detergent is used.

It's the same with some printers, too -- including some Epson printers. Their EcoTank line is refillable: Need more magenta ink today? Just squirt some more magenta in. It doesn't have to be Epson-sourced ink.
> pretty good commuter rail system by large urban US standards

I used to take the Caltrain from Palo Alto to San Francisco. The line from Kingston to Boston doesn't even compare.

Caltrain: Tinted windows, comfortable seats. I'm comfortable using a laptop to check email while I ride to work.

MA Commuter Rail: No tint on the windows, seats so bad I'm uncomfortable using a laptop.

I wouldn't call MA commuter rail "Good" by US standards. It's treating MA residents like a captive audience, and then the politicians and leaders scratch their heads and wonder why we'd rather clog the freeway with luxury cars instead of taking the train.
You missed the actual threat.

Troll files bad faith lawsuit on behalf of Falcon Ltd. claiming S. Andworm infringed upon their copyright on multiple gay porn titles uploaded to TorrentSite. This stuff gets picked up by sites scraping dockets and resold as "background check" services.

You are now falsely associated with this content in an authoritative context. The suit will obviously fail but until then people will see a lawsuit was filed against you and by who. The scam works because nobody questions the legitimacy or sees it through to resolution.

"Fake and gay" has never described something so aptly.

There isn't much you can do about bad faith claims. Claimants either face no consequence for false reporting or are able to plausibly deny it.

That seems unlikely, given that Republicans are winning the nationwide general Congressional election polls and would certainly be doing better in red states than blue states.

The backend builds both x86_64 machine code, and GPU kernels/FPGA microcode according to their documentation, but that just begs another question:

How is this significantly better than the existing tools for compiling C into GPU and FPGA code?

It would help if Intel published some kind of chalk talk with a live demo showing how much faster you can build HPC applications using their new toolkit.

The people at Levels, who do continuous glucose monitoring, say that oatmeal is one of the worst offenders.

You really need to spike your oatmeal with fats, protein, and fiber.

I regularly eat steel-cut oats for breakfast. My go-to is steel-cut oats, two tablespoons of Chia seeds mixed in (tons of fat and fiber), and a serving of mixed nuts and berries on top. On the side, I eat four scoops of powdered peanut butter mixed with water. This version of peanut butter is much higher in protein and much lower in fat and calories than normal peanut butter.

Doing all of this can keep the spikes to a reasonable amount (I also eat the powdered peanut butter first). Any kind of oatmeal by itself is bad. Instant oatmeal is worse. Instant oatmeal with all that sugar and stuff thrown in is terrible.

I suspect if you made your oatmeal with milk instead of water, it would help a lot, but I can't do this from being lactose intolerant.

Okay, in much of the US even 6 miles from office is still too expensive to live. Point being in the US, many bike and transit activists are also NIMBYs. Good for Europe that it's not that way.
The short term effects from installing transit are overall worth the long term benefits, but I fully agree it can be hard if you are seeing the short term ill effects.

New luxury are a good thing - it means there is more housing in your city. Sure the local area looks more expensive, but rich yuppies need to live someplace. The real question is are you building enough that the poor can afford to live someplace, or pushing poor out completely. All housing starts out as luxury housing and then 20-40 years latter becomes were the poor want to live. So if you have a problem with housing costs today the problems are rooted in the decisions of 1985! You cannot correct them overnight. However crying the rich benefit so we do nothing just ensures the problems will remain in 2065.

To play devil's advocate, people discourage "security by obscurity" but not "security with obscurity". That is to say, secrets or "obscurity" as part of a layer in your overall security model isn't what gets contested, it's solely relying on obscure information staying obscure that gets contested.

e.g. configuring an sshd accepting password auth and unlimited retries to listen on a non-22 port is "security by obscurity". configuring an sshd to disallow root logins, disallow password authentication, only accept connections from a subset of "trustworthy" IP addresses, and listen on a non-22 port, is "security with obscurity"
Haven't Arab countries contributed to both sides of this conflict? One, by expelling all Jews in their countries to Israel. Two, by supplying arms and aid to Hamas.
It will produce "something more" for the already-wealthy who control the technology. For instance, LLMs will eliminate the need for some customer service jobs, increasing the profit margin for the existing executives and shareholders, while eliminating entry-level jobs from the job market.
Nearly all of the Algerian Saharan territory is surrounded by state made wall (dune) of 2-5 meters high.

Morocco also has similar and several walls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moroccan_Western_Sahara_Wall

If there is money and resources to build and maintain such walls, there should be more will and good intentions to build green walls which are more useful.
You can probably find an IDE plugin that inlines the assembly for a c function. Most ids can show the assembly side by side with your c code so it wouldn't be that much of a step. To fulfill your vision you would also need a decompiler (and an inliner) to convert a block of assembly back into C if a corresponding C routine exists.
Retreating gives more benefits to Ukraine.

If you think anything is defeated, you should look at the facts ( eg. Airplanes downed in the last weeks). Which seems to be more significant to me while f16's are on the way.

Retreating is not defeating :)
The authoritarianism of corporations cannot be compared that of a state, workers might not get a vote but they are free to leave a corporation in a free society, and corporations do not have the power to arrest people (I'm aware of exceptions). They're also subject to much higher selective pressure than states which helps keep them in check.

I was talking about overall and general efficiency, authoritarian states are less economically, militarily and scientifically efficient than their freer counterparts. They may be effective at pursuing specific policy goals, and there are authoritarian states that have sufficient mass that they can achieve a lot in any given field, but they are usually more effective at giving the appearance of effectiveness that they are than actually achieving anything. Either way, effectiveness is not efficiency.
No. They are single-use, and it embeds into your skin with a probe.
Show HN: An easy-to-use CLI tool for interfacing with OpenAI's models
Hey again everyone,

Since I debuted Cha, a lot has changed, so I wanted to make a new post about it. Cha is a simple and open-source CLI chat tool designed to easily interface with OpenAI's text and image generation models through their API. I built this tool about 1.5 months ago and use it on a daily basis, to the point where I use it more than I use the ChatGPT website.

Currently, Cha supports the following features:

- Basic CLI chat interface to OpenAI’s LLM models.

- Web scraping for a provided link (supports JavaScript scraping).

- YouTube scraping; scraping the transcript from a video.

- Multi-line support; easily copy and paste new lines into the CLI.

- Generate images using OpenAI's image models.

- Supports interactive and non-interactive mode for chatting.

I think Cha is very useful, especially for command-line-based tasks, so I wanted to share it. Cha is still very young, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcfFC1IU_SA

Code: https://github.com/MehmetMHY/cha
A stranger laying a hand on a phone is, based on experience, likely a stranger trying to steal it. It's totally rational there to be jumpy.

Someone touching your bike is a awfully close to touching you. I think it's rational to be a bit suspicious when a stranger gets that close to you, no matter what they are doing, but especially if they are touchy feely.

People touching my car will quite obviously do no damage to it or me. If I'm in the car, I may lock the doors/roll up the windows, if they aren't already. If you want to move the goalposts now and say a stranger isn't merely touching your car, but keying it, that's a different situation, and unrelated to the discussion. I don't know exactly what a rational response is to irrational behaviour. :)

HN's approach to this kind of story has been stable for many years. There's no long-term drift [1], but there are random fluctuations, which often raise fears of a long-term drift [2].

You are right about short expiry times but another catch here is that if pre-signed URLs are being leaked in an automated fashion, these services also keep the downloaded content from these URLs around. I found various such examples where links no longer work, but PDFs downloaded from pre-signed URLs were still stored by scanning services.

To make Cha more seamless, I created the following command in my .zshrc:

chatgpt () {
DEFAULT_MODEL="gpt-4-turbo-preview"

# path to your OpenAI API key
source /Users/mehmet/.custom/.env

if [[ "$1" == "-f" && -n "$2" ]]; then
cha -m $DEFAULT_MODEL -f "$2"
elif [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
cha --model $DEFAULT_MODEL
else
cha -m $DEFAULT_MODEL -s "$1"

I would think increased police presence on the trains and platforms would be a more effective use of resources, and would also deter other (much more common) problems on the train that don't involve guns and knives. MTA commuters will be inconvenienced without feeling much safer, and the narrative that NYC is some crime infested hole that needs to have the military sent in to establish martial law will continue. NYC is incredibly safe, so much safer than where I live now in the NY capital region. Seems like a weird move on the part of Governor Hochul, I'm not sure what constituency it's supposed to play to.
