The mockups themselves are great. The templates look very high quality.

It would be great if the frame adapted to the aspect ratio of the uploaded image. At the moment the image is cropped to fill the frame. Even reordering the templates to prioritise those which match (or are closest to) the aspect ratio of the image would be a start, or the ability to filter portrait/landscape/square
No, they always allowed 100GB, now they'll allow unlimited if you contact support. Of course, this seems more likely to be a result of European regulation than them being good citizens.

Hmm, many health markers have been declining. Fertility, hormone levels, many exotic cancers incidence rates and how often they occur in young people. You may need to just look a bit harder.
:) Politics decides funding allocation in a democracy.

And it's a lot easier to justify military spending than it is research.

Same reason NASA is the way it is, but we still have a space program.
Yes, Y replacing X reading is correct.

It's hard to parse because the Japanese system is itself a mess. The (former) official romanization rules say the name of this prefecture should be written Aiti but the official practice is to write it as Aichi because that's easier to teach to non-Japanese.

Consider that the romanization rules were (iirc) mostly originating from the ministry of education, but that ministries responsible for trade and tourism would naturally prefer to use whatever is easiest for foreign partners to deal with, and could lobby for exceptions since they're revenue centers rather than cost centers. Japan has both a professional bureaucracy under a parliamentary system and de facto one party rule, so (imho) there's much greater potential for policy balkanization of this sort.
No, these aren't practical algorithms. No one uses them in reality.

The hope is that these small improvements will lead to new insights that will then lead to big improvements. I doubt how matrix multiplication will be done will really change regardless of these theoretical results, unless something really groundbreaking and shocking is discovered.

It's all relatively pretty in the grand scheme of things.
Haha, that is most excellent detective work. Always deploy on Fridays, and enjoy the perks is also a valid strategy I guess :D
For how long? Remember mainframes gave way to PCs and they gave way to even smaller smartphones.
The one odd thing in it is that it still claims SVG markup needs a namespace. Which it doesn't, SVG became part of the HTML5 spec and emphatically should _not_ use namespaces when used as "just another element" inside an HTML document.

(even though you do need a namespace when creating svg elements through createElementNS, both "of course" and "unfortunately", and of course you need namespaces if you're creating an actual stand-alone SVG document)

FTFY.
Depends what you call "victory". The western priority is preserving sovereign Ukraine, even if it has to concede some land. There is a path to achieve such goal.
Those are by and large many small matrices being multiplied, these results have nothing to do with that.
It should be understood in contrast to most traditional corpora, which are heavily paywalled/restricted ... or else based solely on century-old books. It has long been a major obstacle for linguistics tooling.

If the current push of AI companies to get their way (to allow copyright laundering) succeeds, this would almost count as open source by the real definition.

If not ... lots of people/companies are committing copyright crimes, some are committing civil infractions, and some may be able to claim fair use.
Looks like the issue has to do with claims processing between pharmacies and UHG, effectively data in flight not at rest.

"We estimate more than 90% of the nation’s 70,000+ pharmacies have modified electronic claim processing to mitigate impacts from the Change Healthcare cyber security issue; the remainder have offline processing workarounds," Mason said.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/unitedhealth-...

The pharmacy network, which connects pharmacies and PBMs, is in final end-to-end testing with our partners. We anticipate that our Change Healthcare Pharmacy network will be back online for the vast majority of submitters as soon as Thursday.

Doesn't this imply that the EU and the US are equal powers?

They aren't, right?

It's entirely fanciful, but I'd like a national law to preserve some days of the week as "no social media" days.

It could allow for 1:1 and n:m (small n, small m) messaging on these days, but nothing bigger. Email would be carved out as an exception.

If it were to be enforced, it'd have to be levied onto companies from the top. They'd be forced to engineer these time window blocks.

Maybe every other day would be a social media day.

I think about this occasionally. It would probably be good for all of us as a society. Totally impractical, would get tons of push back and would never happen, but a fun thought.
In a way, sure. But it would also be nice if we were more codependent, in a way?

For example, it's wild to me that there's no bilateral trade agreement between the US and EU. It seems like the most obvious no-brainer you can imagine.
Interesting. I learnt the word 'bellicist' for the first time.
I think it is quite difficult to find out the officers of Chinese companies. There was the big wall street stock scandal a few years ago with respect to Chinese listings on US exchanges.
> This sounds like just sensational panic being exploited by Hochul to distract from her incompetence. The MTA is a mess, but it's a mess because of mismanagement by the state of NY.

I ride a public bus from oakland across to SF a couple mornings a week (used to be every morning before covid) and that trip is basically like this. 3/4 full bus, no one standing, good cell coverage most of the way.

The trip home was always way more full though.
There is a difference in that people intuitively know that entering passwords gives access. Also, it may be different legally as the user could reasonably be expected to know that they are not supposed to access something.
The quote at the end from Eiseley is more interesting than it sounds: https://www.101bananas.com/library2/eiseley1.html It's about a crow being terrified to nearly fly into Eiseley's head on an extremely foggy day (where you couldn't see the ground), and Eiseley speculating that the crow inferred that Eiseley, uniquely among humans, had somehow learned to walk in the sky, and was scared of him ever after.
Too stupid to even google the bill and find out that it doesn't shut down Tiktok just requires the US app to be spun off from it's Chinese parent company.
Yes, well, this is a story about American senators being contacted by their American constituents about an American bill that will affect how Americans interact with this app while in America. So it is a bit relevant here
Congress explores new bill to force a sale or ban of TikTok in America
All good!

> Visas are back up

Yep!

Now that the US is processing Chinese visa applications again (and Zero Covid ended) people are applying again, but ime most Chinese nationals I've seen or interviewed at American programs tend to be those who are Chinese nationals but studied abroad (eg. In the UK or Canada).

I don't really see Tier 1 Chinese STEM graduates at lower tier American programs anymore compared to say 5-10 years ago.

If there was some dataset to parse, I'd love to test my hypothesis that most Chinese F-1 applications are now for Chinese who aren't graduates from Chinese STEM programs.
I wonder if there would be a way to tag such URLs in a machine-recognizable, but not text-searchable way. (E.g. take every fifth byte in the URL from after the authority part, and have those bytes be a particular form of hash of the remaining bytes.) Meaning that crawlers and tools in TFA would have a standardized way to recognize when a URL is meant to be private, and thus could filter them out from public searches. Of course, being recognizable in that way may add new risks.
But the article's main point is that the intermediates/gradients in heat and moisture are not necessarily where you expect them to be. If you have a point heat source on one side of an enclosed volume—a big box, say—then in a vacuum the most "interesting" area is halfway between that point and the far wall. But if there's a gas or liquid in the box, convection will produce a flow where the interesting regions are scattered around and that midway point is probably one of the less interesting spots.

Life is also attracted to energy. Even if it started in the twilit ring, it would compete to fill the most insolated areas, and would be lushest there.

I think it's more like life is attracted to the volume of flow. A gradient is what drives the flow, but the flow has velocity and so sums up the gradient over a history of motion.
Why are we working in human timescales? It's like saying the sun will never burn out because humans won't be around to see it happen.

To me, that's a pretty bold and naive claim.
Looking at the weather averages for Duluth (chosen at random), no, that actually looks probably colder than the heavily populated bits of Sweden, certainly in the winter.
1. Exceptions can have codes, too, you know, and often do.
2. In the example, the exception is meant to bubble up all the way to the consumer. Different consumers can then handle as they see fit, even just displaying the exception message to the user.
Trains are to damn expensive in europe, and why the hell are we still not taxing aviation fuel the same as car fuel?
Those foreign workers are already here in the US getting their educations. We can either incorporate their knowledge and skills into growing our industry here or we can send them back to their home countries to do it there.

Seems an obvious choice.
Democrats are polling ahead of Republicans in most states which have enacted abortion bans. They also won a majority of congress seats which were up in 2022. They're doing so because 80% of all Americans support abortion as health care.

There's also the successful citizen-lead effort to put abortion as a right on the Ohio constitution. This despite a majority opposition from the state legislature.

The consequences are delayed, but they are there.
No, CoffeeScript doesn't have the same semantics as vanilla JavaScript; not in any meaningful sense I can think of, certainly not in the way that TypeScript does.

Most CoffeeScript will simply syntax error if you feed it into a JS interpreter (and vice versa), and there's no trivial syntactic transform to get around that (i.e. it's not just a new surface syntax over JavaScript). Various features in CoffeeScript have no equivalent in JS, so new code needs to be synthesized for them; even fundamental features that are shared by the two languages are different - for just one example, this [0] article shows that how a function is compiled in CoffeeScript is non-local - the compiler is tracking variable scopes to get around the fact that CoffeeScript and JavaScript have different scoping semantics.

With TypeScript, the "compilation" process is (almost):

parse(typeScriptCode) -> treeMap(removeTypeAnnotation) -> write

That's it! TypeScript code is syntactically valid JavaScript code, just with added type annotations (and, as mentioned, soon that'll still count as syntactically valid JavaScript code); JavaScript code is syntactically valid TypeScript code without any type annotations - which doesn't make it syntactically invalid! Indeed, if you turn down the strictness settings on tsc to permit untyped code, the compiler doesn't even complain about it.

I had a pet project that I tried to turn into a SaaS and I did everything possible to keep it lean. A single Fargate container, two small EC2 instances to run my own Postgres cluster, one bastion. That's it.

Amazon is diabolical in the sense that the free tier expires over months, and by the time your bill starts creeping up with every single cycle, you've already built your infra around AWS. Thankfully I kept it as vanilla as I could, so it took my just a few days to bolt to Digital Ocean.

Best decision ever. A managed Postgres instance for $15 a month? That will get you one crappy micro EC2 box with Amazon. My bill went from $100 to $30! Imagine doing that at actual scale.

It was common reasoning that with very large scale going on-prem could be cost-effective, but you don't even have to go that far. It's a racket. It's not like there are no alternatives. Industry standard shmandart.
Did you read the article? It is specifically about how the series looks simple, but the error is actually very bad if you do things naively.
Reddit rolling out AI bouncer to halt harrassment
In a related note: Reddit seems to be unusually slow this morning...
That was my silly line that I put in these guys' text to appeal to what I know about how HN feels about meetings.

You've done me one better in this respect, point taken!

Edit: for those curious about how these posts get made—I work with the founders to try to figure out how to talk about their startup in a way that might appeal to HN. See https://news.ycombinator.com/yli.html for the instructions I send to YC founders.

It's not possible to get this perfect, but we can usually avoid obvious pitfalls. With a startup like Circleback, for example, I felt it would be important that the text not feel like it was written primarily for managers. Hence the pg essay link as well. (I might have pushed this too far, though, because https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39621356 makes some good points.)

It's not a question of making anything up, of course—the most important thing is that everything be true. But that still leaves a lot of range about what points to emphasize, and there I try to be useful to founders, especially founders who haven't spent countless hours on HN and thus don't have an instinct for the culture here.
In some ways it’s a relief if there’s little I can do to change that. Plus, I expect avoiding plastic is a micro optimization compared to eg eating healthier, keeping active, and so on.
That is a wild take on the comment you are responding to. Are you sure you are responding to the right comment?
This is a gross simplification. Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have tried to hold elections, last time was in 2021. The Palestinian Authority actually held local elections in the West Bank that year. However being occupied does not make elections easy. In 2021 in particular the national elections fell through because Israel didn’t allow Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem to participate. Hamas wanted to hold the election despite that, but the Palestinian Authority cancelled the elections.

Hamas was elected almost two decades ago, and Palestinians in Gaza have been occupied ever since by Israel. Yes, they do have a political system, but said political system is not democratically driven. It is driven by the Israeli occupying forces, in ultimate control by Israeli voters. Both the military administration, Israeli politicians, and Israeli voters show no desire to change this.
I think the most likely scenario is that they would transfer control of a number of nuclear weapons to Germany in such a scenario. And that would be more than enough to end the war, or to end the world.
And if they are start preparing to represent yourself and how to write a submission to request summary judgement on the basis that you are now in compliance having been made aware of your technical non-compliance.
Where I live in western Europe there are clear signs of change. Dry, hot summers, yet more flooding, sky resorts closing shop.

But I fully agree that scaremongering doesn't help. Evidently: with COVID gone roads are more crowded than ever, air traffic on pre pandemic levels, no less meat consumption.

It's not that no one is scared, is just that most people don't know how to change.
It seems like this isn't new? It happened in the US, on Jan 1, 2023.

My car, a 2015 Hyundai, has been without app support since the beginning of 2023. Some vehicles effected were only 4 years old at the time, being manufactured with 3G radios as recently as 2019.

I've been without this service for over 2 years now since I haven't deemed it necessary to be connected to my car, but in no way has my car felt like it was "e-waste."

Maybe because it's associated with an EV, it's suddenly more hard hitting than when it occured to ICE vehicles?

Very useful information.
If this was 0.1% true at ground level, your description of it would remain correct, though it would be misinformative (a major sin a year or two ago according to what I read in the news).
> It's a version of yellow scare which is a tiresome repetition of what happened in the past internments during WWII, in the 80s-90s w/ Japan, and today with China.

Attributing this to racism is a bit obtuse, imo. China conducts aggressive cyber warfare + espionage campaigns (see "Shady Rat"), and strictly controls which foreign companies are allowed to operate within their borders.

Of course, I would like to see more scrutiny applied to ALL companies invasive practices, be it Instagram or TikTok.
Oracle is currently hosting the databases for TikTok's American customers, FWIW.
Headlines are misleading. European Data Act forced them to do it but kudos to the marketing team for putting a positive spin on it.

The friction that semi-private links remove is that the recipient doesn't need an account for your service.

Any tradeoffs should be viewed in that context.
It is pretty simple. You should not let a geopolitical rival unfettered access to your populations data.

There is a reason China has banned all US tech companies, why should the U.S. allow Bytedance to push algorithms that effect 1/3rd of the U.S. Population?

You can dismiss it as racism if you are ignoring the numerous reports from the last 20 years showing rampant IP theft coming out of China.

The CCP will use any means they can to get an advantage, and if I were in their shoes I would do the same thing.
The tier 1 graduates don't need to go to lower tier American programs anymore. They've already leveled up beyond that. They are going to tier 1 programs abroad, or just going to work at a FAANG or a Chinese-equivalent (when I worked for Microsoft Research in Beijing, we lost a lot of tier 1 undergraduate new graduates to Google in California, and that was 10 years ago)
No, the term is ethinic cleansing. In war there are rules regarding civilians, rules Israel ignoring. And no, (in)actions by the enemy do not give the otherside a justification to do whatever they want. Rules and laws still apply during war.

I tired so tryong to get that point across to people. And worried what that attitude might mean for the future.
Are you speaking from experience in both services or based on media portrayals? I ask because your take does not accord with my (non-experiential) understanding.

That's appropriately cynical for HN, but this Gilens & Page study is a classic case of lying with statistics, at least when it comes to the conclusion.

And like most statistics, they can be read to support almost any conclusion you want. A deeper dive on that study shows that it's not really that simple, or that distressing: https://www.vox.com/2016/5/9/11502464/gilens-page-oligarchy-...

My experience may not, but the annual JS dev survey points that TS is the main way to write JS from years.
This draft [1], linked from this CNN article [2], starts with:

To protect the national security of the United States from the threat posed
by foreign adversary controlled applications, such as TikTok and any
successor application or service and any other application or service
developed or provided by ByteDance Ltd. or an entity under the control
of ByteDance Ltd.

And names TikTok and ByteDance specifically in it's contents which grants the power to do so, but does not suggest any particular standards why other than designations as a "Foreign Adversary". Which is basically a circular framework for bias. Would this apply to X with a large investment from Saudi Arabia for example?

"If something can't go on forever, then it won't."

- is quite true. OTOH, if you try betting on the inevitable happening -

"The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
If we lived at the quantum scale, then classical physics would be the weird one. Quantum chromodynamics is only confusing for two reasons: it differs from our everyday experience so we don't have an intuition for it, and because it has a large number of mutually-interacting (but basic) components.

Richard Feynman put it very well:

"The world is strange, the whole universe is very strange, but see when you look at the details then you find out that the rules are very simple, of the game, the mechanical rules by which you can figure out exactly what's going to happen when the situation is simple. It's again this chess game; if you're in just the corner with only a few pieces involved, you can work out exactly what's going to happen. And you can always do that when there's only a few pieces. And so you know you understand it. And yet, in the real game there's so many pieces you can't figure out what's going to happen.

"There's such a lot in the world, there's so much distance between the fundamental rules and the final phenomena that it's almost unbelievable that the final variety of phenomena can come from such a steady operation of such simple rules... But it is not complicated, it's just a lot of it."
