We have a couple of Yeti coolers. They work really well, but they're heavy and have significantly less space inside than you'd expect by looking at them. Most importantly though, they look cool and have nice shiny and colorful exteriors.
The issue is really that the initiative system is, quite frankly, a terrible way to govern and pass complex policies.

Had the legislature implemented this they would have been able to spend time investigating potential problems such as these and plan for a smoother rollout.

I voted for and still support measure 110 in principle. I would also be just fine with laws criminalizing public use. The two are perfectly compatible policies.
Great work! Package management and supply chain issues are definitely something which have by no means been solved. I appreciate that you did your experiment as it pushes the community forward to think solutions to these problems.

I think you should still build some kind of script to install every available package and then do some interesting analysis from the result. For example I'm sure there are supply chain troijan horses awaiting to be discovered.
In the livestream they mentioned that they lost signal on both Starlink and TDRS simultaneously, which is why they figured it had broken up at that point. They were prioritizing the telemetry over video frames on Starlink, and TDRS can only handle telemetry.
That's the happy accident. That's the point.

They didn't need those numbers for the iPhone to be worth their original R&D effort, but winning those numbers is even more advantageous for them because of their core philosophy around volume and margins.

Meanwhile, Microsoft/Google/etc are playing a whole different game. When they succeed, they also saturate a market, but that's the only time they call it a success and so they approach the whole product design process differently.
when war is a profit generator, there will always be those who invest in war, lead war, advocate war, justify war

Or derailing their careers because only the very successful grad students and postdocs get grants and tenure, and evidently a good chunk of those elite spots get taken by people who publish dishonest research.

This isn't an answer, so much as a sketch of my guess at answer, but check out "path dependence": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_dependence

If they go down the right path right at the beginning, a bit of payoff in the right places in McDonalds (which, remember, can be just taking the right people out to a really nice dinner every so often), and it could be that one equipment supplier managed to go down a path that no other current supplier could ever hope to replicate because it really depends on some early decisions, and those suppliers no longer have any opportunity to make "early" decisions.
I'm in the bay area. I'm not concerned about arguing over edge cases I'm speaking generally that very expensive homes are inherently more difficult to sell than cheaper ones. You're just pointing out in certain areas homes that are "expensive" in other cities are just average to a relatively large pool of high income buyers.

With expensive luxury homes you have a smaller buyer pool and more discerning buyers and they will sit on the market longer than cheaper homes. So I still stand by the fact that they are going to be more difficult to sell than a cheaper one for fairly straightforward reasons.
Do chess-bots rely on this? I was under the impression that a full search of the space was infeasible, so our current state-of-the-art approaches use heuristics, bounded search, and learned strategies. In other words, I suspect our current models apply to programming better than we might expect.

It's fun. A standard three-ball cascade juggle fits pretty neatly into your regular arm swing, so it actually feels pretty natural.

I watched a guy do a five-ball joggle, for an entire marathon. That blows my mind. (One of the things you discover doing endurance sports: no matter how crazy you are, there's somebody out there crazier than you.)

Definitely use beanbags rather than something that rolls. Bending over to pick up dropped balls is hard enough without having to chase them further.
He is back now thankfully.

What is happening is that some organized group is submitting mass abuse reports to Facebook/Twitter/Instagram against people whose political opinions they do not agree with. This how most people are getting banned or shadow banned from these platforms recently.

The most prominent people can appeal to the public and get reinstated, but the smaller people just stay banned.

It is too bad that Facebook/Twitter/Instagram can not punish the mass reporters or at least make their mass reports no longer useful after crying wolf so many times.

PaulG mentioned that this was happening to people he knows.

Hate's not the right word. A lot of clubs have a community around them -- they have their regulars; people go there to see their friends. If there are too many tourists, there's less space for regulars. There are always some tourists, and that's fine, but a lot of those communities that I mentioned a second ago have been choked out by a club eventually being so popular with tourists that the regulars don't bother going anymore. The lines are too long, it's full too early, prices go up, etc. A lot of the well known clubs started off as underground spots that eventually were overrun. God, the last time I went to Renate, it was credit card only, didn't know a single person there who wasn't working there, even though we had guest list there was a 30 minute line at the coat check. That's what we don't like. ;-)

Also, often tourists aren't accustomed to Berlin's marathon club opening times (some clubs don't close on weekends) and end up too trashed and are annoying. So, yeah, tourists have a harder time at the doors.

Honestly, I've only been to Tresor once. It's kind of a misnomer since it's named after a very famous, very important long-closed club in a different part of Berlin with a totally different vibe. The current incarnation ... it's probably fine. Like, there are a handful of clubs in Berlin that actually feel a lot like the clubs Berliners do go to, but are mostly there for tourists. You can spot them because ... you can spot them. ;-) (Good rule of thumb in Berlin: if you can easily find the entrance, it's for tourists. Most of the more scene-y clubs don't have a sign.)
Yep. Often the reason a person can’t afford a home at all is due to other needs or issues (job training, mental health, etc..). A comprehensive services package could be of immense benefit if administered correctly. Your second point (NYC, SF being still too expensive) illustrates how solving the market rate housing crisis will help solve the non-market rate housing crisis.
Fascinating about how ARM has made tremendous strides in the “high end” market since 2015. I would argue that I would categorize RISC as a “yes” with its absolute dominance on mobile and now moving into data center not to mention all the embedded use cases.
If the US didn't do this, the world would be worse off, no?

It makes more wealth for the homeowner so it’s actually a net gain as there were realtor expenses.

More wealth is gained by society by giving homeowner an extra $20k in price than giving a realtor $20k for limited value.
I mean they have to figure that out now. IIRC, having the UNESCO status as concrete evidence to point to in the future to prevent situations like this, where the club scene has to make was one of the main reasons the Berlin has advocated for that status.
Parking lots have cameras. If this was a suicide I’m confident they will find the footage. If it mysteriously disappears or the cameras at the Holiday Inn “malfunctioned” there will be little doubt as to what really happened. The fact that his friends and family are not intimidated makes it a lot more likely we will get the truth whatever it is.
Will this result in buyers paying for their own Realtor?
I have found the fact that the seller pays the buyers realtor fee crazy. I think a lot buyers would go with out a realtor, if they had to start paying for their own realtor.

As for promotion: in a valid chess position you could promote a single pawn at three files simultaneously. One by moving forward and then left and right capture. Additionally, you could have two pawns promoting on the same square, again with capture. And you can have a combination of both.

Show HN: Monocurl – open-source GUI for animating math videos and slideshows
I created Monocurl to combine the benefits of programmatic animation with a traditional video editor. In particular, you get to create complex visuals using a custom designed scripting language. I am especially happy with the slideshows feature, as I believe that can be useful in the classroom setting.

The UI needs a lot of work and I plan to fix in the coming months (more so on Windows), but I am happy with the beta release in terms of animation capabilities.

Please feel free to leave any questions/feedback/ideas!
I know, I'm one of the unfortunates that gets nauseous in 15 minutes. Tested on a gen 1 PSVR that i was able to borrow for a weekend. I strongly doubt even the 3500 apple thingy would be much better.

But when Facebook bought them, they could have afforded to do the same thing as apple. Make a very expensive "here's the future, now queue up in an orderly manner and wait while we make it affordable" Rift Mega-Giga-Something model.

VR porn is a neat gimmick.

It's not that immersive because you either get a video that you can't interact with where you get to play the part of dead fish wearing a camera rig, or it's absolutely insanely bad 3D models that will only ever get deeper into the uncanny valley. The videos are also terrible quality because making VR porn is expensive, and if you prefer somewhat amateur content, you are completely out of luck, because couples moonlighting porn aren't buying those camera rigs.

I have shown VR porn to many people. They go "woah". I tell them they can have a similar experience literally on their phone with a normal $30 phone holder "headset", none of them buy the headset. None of them even try it ever again.

Very very few whales are optimizing their porn experience. The vast majority of human beings simply scroll through pornhub for 12 minutes and watch half of two videos and then continue their lives.

"Immersiveness" is not a strict benefit for everything.
Do they? Someone tried to solve a large problem with the package manager, and inadvertently created a larger problem. That simply indicates the folks at NPM didn't fully think through the edge cases of their problem/solution.

I'm curious if other package managers have the same problem identified by the author, or are susceptible to the "left-pad" problem?
With all this hardware, you can even really touch the freedom.
VR is the most extreme case of a product that a subset of technophiles absolutely love and that the rest of the population is decidedly meh on. I think that you are vastly overestimating the amount of people who want to spend a large portion of their daily life with large googles strapped to their head isolating them from the people and things in their immediate environment.

This isn't to say that VR won't improve and find some useful niches, but the idea that it could have anywhere near the global impact of smart phones seems wildly optimistic to me.
Those have existed pretty much since the start of VR multiplayer games. VR chat has them, RecRoom has them I think, there are dedicated apps for this, and many "screen mirroring" apps also have multi-user and presence.

They aren't used that much because it's a silly gimmick and nothing more. People don't roleplay nearly as much in actual VR experiences. Real life isn't Ready Player One, and real people may say they want this, but then they try it and never do it again.

It was neat to socialize with strangers in VR during covid lockdowns. It was instantly less neat when I could socialize with my real friends again. I don't have any friends from that period, and I was hanging out with VR strangers for tens of hours a weekend. There's just too many real, physical drawbacks to doing anything in VR that means unless you specifically crave the experience that ONLY VR can provide, like a driving simulator game, you don't really do it.

I've gone clubbing in VR. It's just not that special.

All the talk about AVP is full of people who seem to have zero understanding of what has existed for almost a decade in the VR space, don't seem very familiar with VR, and haven't tried to get friends and family to try VR. They all think Ready Player One, or The Matrix is right around the corner. Reality isn't magic.

For reference, VR is literally a game changer for Sim Racing, and even there most people don't care about it. Even then, it's only brought out occasionally, or for specific reasons. Headsets just suck, blocking your eyes with some form of screen will always suck for a social species like humans.
Yeah. We were considering it, obviously that may have been a better way to go about it. I want to return to it in the future and do it this way, but we lost a little interest after all this.
Israel certainly wasn't founded by Britain, whose forces had simply abandoned the region after the Mandate expired in 1948, but the UN partition only set the stage for the eventual territorial bounds of Israel, as the partition plan was never actually implemented.

What cemented Israel's official modern territorial bounds were the 1949 Armistice Agreements following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, which resulted in Israel controlling 60% of the land that was not originally defined for the Jewish State in the partition plan. According to the 1947 partition plan, Israel was not going to extend to Jerusalem, but the captured territory did extend to this point by the time of the 1949 armistice, as well as extending to most of the land border with Egypt which minimized the Gaza region's border with Egypt, and extending along Lebanon, which prevented the West Bank from sharing a border with Lebanon, as was intended in the partition plan.
Given the poor technical choices made regularly in old corporations, I'm guessing they had no idea what they got themselves into.

That or it's their franchisee's problem and they don't have any incentive to fix it.
I do hope we get some more log operators. We've discussed with a couple organizations that are potentially interested, so I'm hopeful we get another 2 or 3 soon.

Cost of log operation is definitely a big part of it, but I think the operational overhead of existing log software is also an issue (which is also cost, but in engineering time).
I tried it quickly on my company (some IT consulting multinational) to find competitors, and I was wondering if there was an easy way to do the following:

- for each company, find their main product lines and their respective market share (i.e. my firm does multiple things such as architecture, data governance, data engineering, data analysis, etc) but we're not necessarily the best on every type of service. I'm assuming that's a common pattern (e.g. some automotive companies are great at trucks but not the best at smaller cars, etc).
- get basic financial stats (revenue, market share)
- (bonus) get time-dependent stats (what was their revenue like 3 years ago ? What's the YoY growth ?)
Even as a webkit browser, I see Firefox Focus as the best browser on iOS. Great for people like me who want to avoid having 100s of tabs that I never get to revisit, and it has some free ad blocking.
Thanks, I (TFA author) missed this thread.
> Fancy type systems

We are taking steps to this direction. By adding optional typing to dynamic languages Python and JavaScript/TypeScript. And then type checker tools and local programming style guides are making using these maybe less optional, and more mandatory.
Absolutely. The world is better off because Putin is being resisted.

We (as the US) had a golden opportunity to reinvest our peace dividend after 1991 but we squandered it in a useless war for nearly 20 years after 9/11. But we have no choice but to reinvest in defense now.
I think that's the reason for its dead end.

However if this is really the biological analogue of credit assignment, this might scale better than training llms from scratch every time. Even if say it could approx gradients to a certain degree given a new network, normal backprop could further tune for a few epochs or so dramatically reducing overall training costs.
Nobody has the counterfactual answer to this.

Proponents will speak to deterrence and preservation of ‘liberty’/non-despotism, opponents will speak to the very real death toll inflicted by these weapons.

In Australia there’s no such thing as a buyer’s agent, just the seller’s agent (called a listing agent).

> What do you do if someone hands you a controller for a tv game equivalent?

I'm not the GP, but as they said you have all your other body language for communication. In VR-world, you have your eye direction and hands - not even your full eyes, with all the muscles around them that may communicate more than anything else on your body. I suppose you could flip them off. :)

It's an interesting point about how VR avatars, for all their 'presence', are very limited. VR video chat seems much better.
Given the context of conversation, just noting that I too have ADHD and writing in C# has been definitely more doable than dynamically typed languages (or languages that require a lot of code to express something LINQ allows me to do in 1 or 2 lines, like Go). And as long as you know the type for the feature you need, you can usually just write e.g. "Regex" and press `.` and the VS Code or any other IDE of your choice will show you the list of supported methods - most of them are really straightforward to use. It works really well and knowing I don't have to perform much of work to ensure what amounts to type safety manually, or write additional tests, has been really helpful.

More on C# Regex, extra props for source-generated Regexes also generating documentation to explain the exact pattern and how it is matched similar to how websites like regexr do it.
You are correct that it is dangerous to rely on the results of a model being an oracle for another model, extremely good models (say F=ma) are used all the time.

My opinion, and its very naive because I've only really tried the Vision Pro for this type of content, but immersive video is the current killer app for the Vision Pro. Sitting in the studio with Alicia Keys warming up for her tour was almost equal parts uncomfortable and amazing.
This clarification has been added to the spec:

> Nodes are placed in the array in ascending order by z-index. The first node in the array should be displayed below all other nodes, and the last node in the array should be displayed on top of all other nodes.
I'd rather have the researchers make existing intersections much more intelligent about current traffic. I'm often sitting at a red light with no other traffic because lights seems to be on timers instead of sensors.
Indeed, compression is just the dual problem of prediction, so the better you are at predicting the next move, the better you can compress.
I'd like to think I'm not a complete moron here(hopefully), and realize 'I saw it on social media' is a rather poor source.

I'm referring to ones with real news articles and real videos. The only reason I mentioned it is because news sites rarely even report such info, and definitely don't show the videos.

I'm not much for conspiracies, so my initial question was genuine. Are most or all of these people mentally ill and trying to scapegoat their enemy before offing themselves? It feels weird that it happens enough I was able to reference 4 other recent cases with 15 minutes of effort.
Why worth it to create democratic state in Ukraine but not in Iraq?

This is exactly it. A company giving away a product for free to me doesn’t remind me of an honest actor, it reminds me of a casino with a “free spin” voucher, or a drug dealer giving samples. I’ve seen the “create a monopoly at a loss and then enshittify and raise prices” playbook over and over. Am I supposed to be so stupid and naive as to think Tim Sweeney is my friend? Every game he gives away just sort of proves how much of an idiot he thinks I am.

Steam has a track record of making their product better and better and the biggest scandal I can remember is when they introduced paid mods since that risked undermining the free mod market and GabeN did adjust the pricing afterwards and did personally get involved with the PR fallout. Otherwise the service has just gradually gotten better and better for the customer. Steam is privately owned instead of being owned by publicly traded companies and that helps with my confidence in the company.
