Not really.

Solving a new problem / use case is going to help you be successful, accessibility isn't novel. It's a feature.
All the time. I believe I heard about it from a Buddhist concept (if someone knows the term, please drop it in a reply).

You can also extend it to think about your own actions, and how they might interfere with someone else. For example, way back when I lived with my parents, I used to just put the dishes in the sink and leave them there - not considering that my mother was going to have to scrub it clean, putting it away.

It's possible she drops it and cuts her hand, which could have been prevented had I just cleaned the dish myself.

Same in public restrooms. I do my best not to leave towels on the floor or make a mess. _Someone_ has to clean that.

There are just so many examples to list, I think you get the idea.
Yes, but it also creates a straightforward method for triggering a TOS violation if an unlabelled AI video is detected, allowing YT to remove deceptive videos and ban bad actors without adding more subjective editorial decisions into the review process.

It would be hard, for example, for a political party to claim that this policy selectively discriminates against their viewpoint.
As others have said, the standardization of metrics is still something debated, but at the same time, this space has been explored by various top-tier papers that your paper did not cite. For example, DREAM [1], evaluated using the classic metric of goto-emittence. Rev.ng [2], evaluated using Cyclomatic Complexity and gotos. SAILR [3], evaluated using the previous metrics and a Graph Edit Distance score for the structure of the code.

I feel that without a justification for dropping previously established metrics by the peer review process, you weaken your new metrics. However, I still think this is an interesting paper. It just could be made more legit by thoroughly reading/citing previous work in the area and building an argument for why you may go against it.

My testing was on a desktop with a way over specced cooler. Regardless, the above link shows that they were getting huge power drops for basically no loss in performance.

With makes sense to me. We have seemingly run out of cheap architectural wins. CPUs and GPUs keep cheating by amping up the power draw to improve the performance numbers for vanishingly small returns. To get an extra 5% performance on these chips can require 10s of watts.
Adobe Illustrator. I edited the comment to make that clear. :)
The original Three Body Problem novel is a real throwback to 1950s/60s style american big-concept scifi. I can understand why some modern readers bounce of it - it reads very strangely when judged by modern scifi tastes.

The next two books continue in the same vein but I really hated the point-of-view characters and found the books a bit of a slog to get through.

The ad companies wanted to aggregate information across multiple channels.

The example about "show more car ads to someone who watched other car ads"? It's not about showing car ad on a site whose content is about cars (or where the site owner decided they like that kind of thing).

It's about knowing you have wandered over to car comparison site recently so they can show you car advertisements when you look up sports news, show car-related merchandise when you're browsing some shopping site, show you insurance ads, etc.
I'm not sure I believe that companies making ultra processed foods are victims of a catch-22 where they are unable to reveal the truth of how healthy their ultra processed food is because of the social shame that would come from funding a study.

I don't understand how this opt-in email tied service which you or your email provider has to implement is in any way preventing you from having disconnected identities online.

If you own a domain and your disconnected identities are all tied to the same domain (or email address) then you have exactly the same issue.
Can you comment on why the low calcium diet matters and what is considered low calcium? Doesn’t that lead to other issues?

Seems like Apple entering the mid-range ($500-$700) laptop market to expand its market presence.
just use a service worker to share state, you would be much better off doing this anyways. saves a ton and is performant.
Not really. Large language models' output is creative only insofar as you prompt them to mix data. It allows you to create combinations that nobody has seen before. On its own, an LLM is incapable of producing anything creative. Hallucinating due to a lack of data is the closer it comes to autonomous creativity. Happy accidents are an unreliable creativity source. This type of creativity is amusing but doesn't solve any existing problem today.
For me, it's the simplicity. I don't have to care whether a project is super basic, or a thorny hairball from hell. Whatever it is, "docker run" is how I spin it up. It doesn't infect my local. I can have three differently hobbled versions of it side by side. Virtualization makes it simple, conceptually - and for me that's more precious than it being actually technically simple.
I have tried Sonoma a couple of times already but Spotlight and searching across the system always breaks in bizarre ways - I cannot search even in system preferences, not to mention mail and finder - so I've always returned to Ventura. It's really a failed release from my perspective. Anyone with similar experience?
I'm a frontend dev with a fair bit of legacy experience, but am unfortunately still not seeing many listings or getting calls, and have pretty much stopped considering that it'll happen. Hard to stay motivated, nothing turns out. I'd be more than happy to work on an Angular to React/TypeScript migration or anything not frontend related if I could get in the door.
Considering their consent banner isn't legal under GDPR anyway, I'd be wary of expecting them to be compliant with that either.
Why do you think that? Everything I see suggests the opposite.
JEP 459 Updated: New StringTemplate Syntax for Java
In theory yes, this could be problematic with alternative Rust implementations, but it works fine and many people are using it in this case. We can be sure LLVM and Cranelift codegen backends will be implementing the same binary ABI, because binary ABI decisions are made in the shared code.
I always find articles like this amusing, because I designed an online auction system back in the late 90's. No XHR requests at all. Real-time updates were all handled with server-push/HTTP streaming. It wasn't easy to handle all the open connections at the time, but it could be done to an acceptable scale with the right architecture.
Mine is also from GameFAQs, 2001 ... to argue in LUE.
I suggest you watch this video as well, is goes into great detail on what it took to make the blue LED. It's quite fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8d72mA41M
I was just giving examples of different types of accessibility needs, it wasn't meant to be an exhaustive list. You can imagine "no vision" as a type of "low vision", where vision = 0.0 if you'd like
So beauty filters are ok, but what's the true difference between a strong beauty filter and a face change.
I agree, The story in a story in an attempt to talk over the heads of the Trisolarans is hilarious. Too bad they never learned to paint in non western perspective.
As a show about a mystery, it bears some similarities with Lost. To the frustration of everyone, Lost explained _nothing_, and raised more questions than answers in its last forsaken season, and ended the worst, cheapest, and dumbest way possible. Because of this, I spent a lot of Severance screaming at the screen, "ASK THE OBVIOUS QUESTION!" And they did! And those questions got answered along the way! It gave me hope that there's a central idea at work here, and they're not just making it up as they go along, hoping the show gets popular enough to demand a huge retcon in the finale. They don't have to answer every question, or explain every plot device; I'm just hoping they finish telling a cohesive story.
Yeah exactly - when they started writing plot GoT went off the rails. This bodes well for 3 body - it's right up their alley - huge cast, intrigue, spectacle and surprises that shock at first but make perfect sense in retrospect. I've got hope!
It's amazing how many people in this thread are seriously suggesting that these a11y features are not important. Do HN readers not understand that someday they will grow old, and their eyesight will fail, and they will find themselves increasing the font size on their devices?

Nope, not pointless: you remove bullshit excuses. "Everyone knows it's AI! I didn't mean to deceive anyone, honest!"

This is also why we have to do the insufferable corporate training on how not to do bribery, sexual harassment, etc. It's not that HR thinks you don't know, it's that HR knows that if they don't make everyone take the training then bad actors can successfully avoid/delay consequences by pretending to not have known. I think of these things like jury duty: a civic duty that is slightly obnoxious in and of themselves but very important for the functioning of the overall system.
Your job is now to find a new job. Push as hard as you can on job searching. Dial down the effort you are putting into your current job.

You absolutely should not stay where you are. You are also extremely unlikely to be able to make any positive changes there, the company product and needs “are what they are.”
People also don't realize that this can happen without AI (insurance companies data mining for example) so such a law is a good thing.
How are you proposing to distinguish between "AI" and "search engines"? Most of the search engines now have a summarizer at the top which is presumably LLM output, and search engines operate on the basis of ML in general.

Not an expert, but isn't $1.8B sofa-cushion money when it comes to spy satellites? The article notes that another company will provide some of the sensors for the satellites, but still...
Thanks, I'd broadly agree. They are definitely "good enough" and Wier's writing has improved noticeably, but The Martian was a little shaky at times!
Bleh no, K means thousand.

For a long time we specified displays by their vertical dimension -- 480p, 720p, 1080p.

Then the marketing guys came along and decided that the horizontal dimension sounds bigger. If we stuck with the less-bullshitty way of doing things and kept comparisons 1:1, we'd call 3840x2160 displays 2160p or "2K" displays, but instead, the marketing people decided that we're going to change things to horizontal and called 3840x2160 "4K".

They didn't use any optimization flags.
I suppose that might depend on how the ABI is represented internally. If the ABI is fully described by (one of?) the lowered IR the backends consume (e.g., does MIR fully describe struct layouts/etc.) then I wouldn't expect there to be any issues outside "regular" bugs since all the relevant information would be contained in the inputs.
== Spoilers for the first book ==

I tell everyone to skip the first one. The problem is that when you hear of the series, it sounds so cool. "What if humanity knew aliens were arriving in ~X hundred years?" But it takes until the end of the first book for that to premise to even arrive.

You can read a summary of the first book, and go directly to the second, which has a different set of characters on a different timeline.

All the cool stuff in the first book:

1. The alien planet is at the mercy of 2 suns, so it deals with extreme heat and cold. Predicting the trajectory of their planet (the "three-body problem" in question) is a life-or-death problem.

2. To solve this, the aliens set up computers using a lot of alien-people, each
acting as a logic gate - each person passes information to the next.

3. A pro-alien group uses lasers to cut up ships at the Panama canal or whatever.

Pretty much the rest of the book is quite boring. The pro-alien society that meets in a video game is laughable.

The second book has a propulsive cadence that's super fun to read, and the third has a series of amazing conceptually-creative micro-worlds - so captivating!

You're needlessly rebutting a jokey introduction to an article.

I'd also wager few apps have everyone in the world as active users, which is the next sentence in the article.
Very good. Here's a cracker.
Is that true if you are using HTTP/2?
How does it compare to DuckDB, which is an Arrow-compatible OLAP SQL database, easy to embed and just plain awesome?
Why does OWA use per-actor RSA signatures instead of e.g. OIDC client auto-registration to exchange a shared secret between severs? If the user identity is user@example.com and example.com is authoritative on whether that identity is valid, why do you need a proof that it possesses the user's key? And if the server has the private key anyway, why have per-user private keys?

Unless you have key-based naming (userId@keyFingerprint), you have to rely on a server running at the domain to be the ultimate authority on legitimacy of identities anyway, right? Exchanging a single shared secret between servers seems like a much more lightweight way to do that.

For portability, couldn't userId@example.com publish a message saying that it is now (only-or-also) known as userId@othersite.com? If example.com had the private key at some point and you were moving permanently, you'd need to generate a new one anyway and need to publish a similar message, so why have the keys at all vs. the server just saying "yeah that's my user"?
I think conceptually, there is no real difference. In the end, a compiler outputting machine code uses very small stencils, like "mov _ _", which are rather simple to patch.

Practically though, it's an enormous difference, as the copy and patch approach re-uses the years of work going into clang / gcc supporting platforms, optimizations for different platforms and so on. The approach enables a much larger pool of people ("People capable of writing C" vs "People capable of writing assembly / machine code") to implement very decent JIT compilers.
What Happened to the Mythic Author?
Succes requires quickly testing if something works at all. Those tests don't need accessibility to be accurate, so they don't have accessibility.

What is important is that, when you found that something works and you start profiting from it, that you make it accessible. incidentally, this is how the EU law works aswell.
Had this thought too, but I wonder if it worked better in the original language. Anyway, loved it regardless because the larger story is enthralling, even if the characters are subpar.
If 'healthier choices' isn't based on science, what is it based on?

Why should someone believe you if it isn't based on science?

Many people (myself included) read health headlines, read that everything is causing cancer, that everything is simultaneously bad/good for you, and just tune this out altogether.

I just rely on normal intuition 'maintain a healthy calorie budget and keep greasy foods to a reasonable level' and treat all other nutrition advice as superstition, hearsay, and noise.
It is really thin pure goose down pillow. Folded, it is less than 1/4in when compressed. I don't think the height of the pillow makes a huge difference.
A horror story of using AWS DMS with a happy ending
I mean, isn't that kind of a false dichotomy, though? There's plenty of middle ground between "no required support" and "must fully support on day one".

For example, the ADA doesn't require employers to accommodate disability needs until a business has 15 employees.
As the article notes, what is remarkable about the Gardner Museum thefts is the quantity of items stolen _and_ that none of them have turned up. A similar crime is de Kooning's Woman-Ochre in 1985. Its theft and recovery in 2017 is an interesting story[1]. Either someone is holding these artworks privately in some remote area and it's an incredibly well kept family secret or, in my sole opinion, the works have been destroyed or damaged beyond recovery i.e. disposed into the Boston Harbor.

This study isn't evidence against it.

Of course diseases still happen, but overall streams in mountains, wells etc. were relatively safe.

Cities with human feces, and factories still dumping waste mostly destroyed water ways.

It's state of water in most modern countries is disgusting.

Humans didn't have time to boil water before electricity & modern kitchen.
I wouldn't say "no company", there do exist companies that are run by kind, thoughtful people. Never large companies granted, it seems the heart in something gets replaced by MBA grad nonsense past a certain size, but they very well do exist, and there's probably more of them than there are large companies that would just as soon put us all in a meat grinder if it helped their margins.

It's part of why I've really tried to stay employed with smallish businesses, because they're more human.
IMO, dialog is always hard. I've read a bunch of random sci-fi and it feels like there is always awkward dialog at some point. Then I've tried writing short stories, and dialog is where I struggle. But a good story and actual science will keep me around for the most part. Something like the Lost Fleet series, while a bit repetitive, I still enjoyed.

Might help with corrosion, too. My grandfather had a very old garage door and opener, and one day something gave and it blew apart. It sounded very much like a shotgun had been fired inside the garage.

Fortunately, nobody was in or near the garage when it happened, but I'll remember it every time "garage door spring" comes up in conversation.
you could consider hosting an empty postgresql database, compile your code as a postgresql foreign data wrapper and expose it as a view. Nothing is more compatible with the postgres wire protocol than postgresql itself ;)

I was on the edge of my seat in a very novel way for the first half or so of the first book, then it turned fantasy (to me) quick. I know people are claiming this is hard sci-fi, it's not. But there are some very interesting ideas and they are strung together in a very big way. It was kind of too big for me, so I never read the next two. I'd recommend the first book just so you know what it's all about.
How is this supposed to work when anybody can resell anything?

Suppose someone wants to run a service that will put your ads on all the popular sites, one stop shopping. Facebook only sells ad space directly, but this company would simply take your money and use it to buy ads from Facebook and others, which is totally legitimate. And Facebook interfering with this would have obvious anti-trust implications.

I loved asimovs charachters and dialogue, what didnt you like? Dialogues in asimov are especially great, its how battles happen in the books.
Nice practical article. Accessibility is really important, but one of my pet peeves is when people call developers lazy for not making apps accessible by default. There really is a lot of concepts to learn, conflicting priorities, and tools to get familiar with, on top of making the business case to do it. Most developers and designers I've worked aren't that familiar with WCAG rules either.

By the way, the blue on yellow, and blue on green buttons won't pass color contrast requirements. Black on yellow will work, and white on blue (for darker blues) will work. Finding a set of branded colors that contrast as needed is tricky too.

FWIW I consider myself a bit of a classic scifi nerd, but couldn't understand what's all the fuzz about both Ready Player One (stopped reading after 50 pages or so, since it didn't get any better) and the Three Body Problem (worked myself through the first book but there was absolutely nothing that would have stuck in my brain), and yes, in case of the latter it could just be a bad translation (I was reading the English version).
This is the problem that Numba was designed to solve.

This is what gets me -- almost everyone who reaches old age will eventually be disabled. Some folks just get there faster.
I didn't find the Three Body Problem particularly compelling. Almost everything in it is goofy.
I have accepted using these tools to help when it comes to generating code and improving my output. However when it comes to dealing with more niche areas (in my case retail technology) it falls short.

You still need that domain knowledge of whatever you are writing code for or integrating with, especially is the technology is more niche, or documentation was never made available publicly and scraped by the AI

But when it comes to writing boilerplate code it is great, or when working with very commonly used frameworks (like front end javascript frameworks in my case)
It's unfair to blame dialog on the author instead of the translator. Your other criticisms are valid.
