Eh, I have mixed feelings on that.

There are cliff-hanger endings, or clearly unfinished works, but I don't mind a bit of uncertainty at the edge of the story.

Compare The Wheel of Time to The Lord of the Rings.

At the end of LotR, it is over. Not only is the Dark Lord defeated forever, the elves, the wizards, all magic, and our two protagonists leave the world for the Undying Lands. We're told of the lives and deaths of all the other main characters. The world is finished. There are no stories left to tell.

At the end of WoT, it's just an ending. We're told of a great cycle to the universe, but half of it remains a mystery. Our protagonists are barely into their twenties, and the world has just been turned upside down. What will happen next? Anything, everything.

I don't mind the Zones of Thought universe being left open-ended, even if I would have preferred a little more. It's the sort of universe that shouldn't be wrapped up completely.
Wasn’t that the idea behind Denver? It’s outside the city by a decent amount (or was when started). I assume proximity to the mountains was also a consideration.

This is called “coming to the nuisance”[1] and in most jurisdictions the complainers have no case.

I’m sure it doesn’t stop them from trying though. Reid-Hillview airport[2] in San Jose has been there since the 1930’s, long before anyone who currently lives there, yet is constantly under attack by residents and threatened with closing.

the special firmware that microsoft uses in these machines breaks network, USB, anything that you attach to it. it just can't get power management right. I've been saddled with one of these for 5+ years and it just never got better.
Whether compile time guarantees or not, even having HTML elements as objects would be better than putting them into the f-strings. With objects we could probably pattern match on then and traverse the tree, instead of having to rely on other tooling or even regex to search for things inside an f-string.
2024 Ford Ranger First Drive Review: A Capable Truck I Don't Want to Drive
If you think I'm saying anyone anywhere hating Jews in the modern day is only because of Israel, then we're on different wavelengths. The overall, global decline in healthy relations between the religions largely has its locus in the creation and sustaining of Israel. Just as there are violent clashes there are good interactions, but the current political reality has subdued the latter and increased the former.

It's the same way as the creation of modern Pakistan has substantially decreased good relations between Muslims and Hindus. The idea that either side is wholly evil and the opposite is justified in its hate is completely contrary to everything we know about human beings. The average Hindu is very amenable to growing animosity towards Muslims when he sees his nation's arch rival, an ethno-religious state, send spies over the border, orchestrate bombings, etc. And that's how many in the Muslim world feel about Israel who has also orchestrated bombings, assassinations, etc. in their countries.
I think you underestimate the number of flags from users and overestimate the amount of direct moderator intervention.

There have been countless times where I've been the flag that tips a comment or a post over into the dead (or for posts, deranked) territory. I flag comments that are rude, abusive, or deliberately filled with misinformation. I flag posts that are likely to start flame wars, that are highly off topic, or that are clearly low-effort blogspam marketing with no valuable content.

If any of that sounds subjective to you, that's because it is. Most of the favoritism and bias you observe can be attributed to users like me who have an idea of what the HN culture should be and subjectively flag things that don't fit.
That's a weird way to look at it. Binary files might not have "lines", but there's no reason they couldn't include a byte with value 10 (the ASCII value for \n). Software reading that file wouldn't know the difference, right?

Also, why couldn't you have a text file without any lines?
groups.io looks good. But are they all public lists? Is there an option to have a private one?
I think it's less about the inner cities and more about the suburbs. In the US there are certainly lots of little bits of curb with plants on, but little in the way of large useful green space.

Comparing the LA metro area to almost any European city, it's stark how much more unused or usable green space there is in Europe. The US seems much more binary – you're either in a city, or you're outside one, it's not like the US is lacking green space at a national level!
My more cynical take is that Apple fans have lives and they don't live for computers, as I do.

They want the PC (a 'smart' 'phone') to get out of their way, and if it doesn't work, they'll just go do something normal people do, like a platonic dinner party or a drinking party.
why not put the terminal in the urban area and have a fast train/ferry/whatever to the runways
I quit that book at the dogs. I understand that it's a great book and I ought to pick it up again, but goddamn those chapters were bad. And to be honest, the glaring similarity between early internet and nntp and Vinge's far future networking was distracting. Perhaps I'm misremembering that part...

True Names was pretty great.
I'm sorry but any definition of capitalism which doesn't include the United States - arguably the most nakedly and aggressively capitalist society in human history except perhaps for the British empire, which taught the US everything it knows - is absurd on its face. The purpose of the system is what it does, and capitalism is what capitalists do. Oligarchy and crony capitalism are the most efficient forms for capitalism to take to transfer value to the capitalist class without interference from the market or government, and so capitalism tends to evolve in that direction, similar to the way many forms of live tend to evolve into crabs.
My suggestion is to think deeply about problems that you yourself have encountered as an initial source of ideas. Of ten technical people are so good at problem solving that we just solve it, move on and forget about it. However, these problems might be more common or more pervasive than we might think.

That requires being able to plug in your device, right?

How many such keys are needed? I'm guessing about 5? Give a couple to trusted friends, in case my residence burns down, keep one with me, and two at home as backup, because I know I'll lose things?

How often should I verify they still work? (Backups don't exist until you've restored, so I assume the same applies here?)

Everything I see about passkeys makes me think the failure mode can be more tragic than using passwords, and the use case is for people willing to trust Apple or Google.

I think I'm willing to trust Proton - for one, they support deGoogled Android - but I don't understand the risks in switching, or what backup practices I need.
If he can't handle arguments without modifying the history in his favor, it's not completely unlikely that he'd also modify the stats of his business in his favor too. Parent commenter implied that since it was a "go to jail" kind of a offense, it's not likely. Maybe less likely, but his past behaviour shows that he does do suspicious things.

A whole paragraph for something I figured didn't need expounding.

This entire comment is wildly misinformed. Are you forgetting Apple charges like $1200 for a phone these days? They’re the most profitable company on the planet. Are you suggesting that in order to cover the extensive research and development costs of music playback (sorry did you really say this?), they need to take a 30% cut of every song played on the device?

Yep, you can advocate everything is fine with this scenario. You could instead advocate for a different scenario. You know, when you talk to your kids. Or family. Or friends. Or neighbours. And they talk to their x/y/z/a/b/c. Or you could advocate for being an asshole to, what amounts to, a finite number of people. Like a pebble in the pond, causing ripples. Some are poison. Some are not. But you choose which it is.

You sound very rational as the core function of a text is maintained. It's a fact that Apple neuters the features when texting Android. It's a social faux pas to have android as a kid, in college, or even as adults.

For me personally, I find that young professional women on the dating scene see it as a signal / red flag for lack of status or wealth when starting an interaction. It puts you in a negative light at the start of it dating, whether a tease or serious concern. There's dumber things people judge, but this is up there. Once you establish trust and comfort, I haven't found issue with texting in this scenario.

So there's initial friction in some cases like dating. And with children/families there's ongoing friction.

O'Hare airport sits some 40km outside Chicago. It seems like a long way away from the city.

Narita airport is about 80km east of Tokyo.

Osaka is about 500km west of Tokyo. Osaka's airport is just 15km outside of Osaka.

To travel from downtown Osaka to downtown Tokyo would involve 95km of ground transport in addition to the flight. Or you could take the train, which would involve about 20km of transport besides the high speed rail.

You might think that nobody wants to live next to a train station, either. Or even next to a rail line. But I wonder what difference there would be in resistance to a new airport vs a major train station within 5km of a neighborhood.
I use both pico-8 and tic-80. I like both of them, but I like pico-8 better. Why? Aesthetics pretty much - and isn’t that enough? These aren’t tools to get things done; they are more like songs you listen to.
CommonJS modules (and anybody else that prefers or needs "require-in-the-middle") can already import ESM. They need to use `await import()` or `import().then()` if they prefer callback waterfalls to async/await syntax. That works everywhere in Node today. Sure, it's a pain when upstream switches to ESM that you have to use more Promises, but that the price you pay and it is certainly a lot less work than a full rewrite even for the most brownfield CommonJS library. You don't have to rewrite everything to ESM all at once. (You should want to, but don't have to.)

Think before generating output - plan the entire sentence before you generate the first word(s) and maybe talk yourself into a corner. Tree-of-Thoughts (not Chain) is one way to provide something a bit similar - kind of like DeepBlue or AlphaGo generating possible branching future lines of play and picking the one with best outcomes.

To be more brain-like you'd really want the system to generally be "looping" internally - a bit like our thalamo-cortical loop - and only start outputting when the thought had gelled.

I live about 5 miles from an airport. It never occurred to me when I bought the house that there'd be airplane noise, but we happen to be right in the flight path. They're infrequent enough that I didn't hear any while touring the house. The house is well-insulated, so the noise isn't bad while inside. But while outside, it's loud enough that you have to pause a conversation when a plane goes by.
Yes, in the beginning pretty much everybody hated it and thought the project was nuts. I got pretty much no positive feedback but lots of negative. I was like "But it's learning! It's learning!" :) Strangely, that convinced almost nobody, even among my friends.

Now that many millions of people have used it, I get a lot of great, often enthusiastic feedback on how Gnod makes the best recommendations.

That teached me that you can't convince people with just an idea. For most people, you have to deliver something which is already useful to them.

This is kind of an epistemological debate at this level, and I make an effort to link to some source code [1] any time it seems contentious.

LLMs (of the decoder-only, generative-pretrained family everyone means) are next token predictors in a literal implementation sense (there are some caveats around batching and what not, but none that really matter to the philosophy of the thing).

But, they have some emergent behaviors that are a trickier beast. Probably the best way to think about a typical Instruct-inspired “chat bot” session is of them sampling from a distribution with a KL-style adjacency to the training corpus (sidebar: this is why shops that do and don’t train/tune on MMLU get ranked so differently than e.g. the arena rankings) at a response granularity, the same way a diffuser/U-net/de-noising model samples at the image batch (NCHW/NHWC) level.

The corpus is stocked with everything from sci-fi novels with computers arguing their own sentience to tutorials on how to do a tricky anti-derivative step-by-step.

This mental model has adequate explanatory power for anything a public LLM has ever been shown to do, but that only heavily implies it’s what they’re doing.

There is active research into whether there is more going on that is thus far not conclusive to the satisfaction of an unbiased consensus. I personally think that research will eventually show it’s just sampling, but that’s a prediction not consensus science.

They might be doing more, there is some research that represents circumstantial evidence they are doing more.

My ThinkPad has okay support with the on-site option, but you're right on with all the other things.

I don't understand why Lenovo (and Dell and the other major PC makers) can see the $/sq.ft. that an Apple store generates and not open their own stores? I'd feel a lot more comfortable recommending a ThinkPad to a friend if there was a local place they could shop at, get repairs, and take classes.
Then lay down a dissertation that at least provides some evidence you're correct.

Also, any guesses on why the 'modern' age is suddenly going in slow motion. Not exactly sure how you're going to pull that off without breaking chemistry completely.
Airport expansion is almost as difficult as building new. In my neck of the woods, some have suggested that the (primarily general aviation) Livermore airport would make a great “reliever” airport for the Bay Area jets, but this is constantly being fought by residents, mostly people in posh Pleasanton, which is on the flight path. It’s understandable that people don’t want more jets flying above their homes, yet, East Bay travelers would benefit the most from such development.

Parsing HTML and tagsoup is IMHO not the right application for LLMs since these are ultimately structured formats. LLM are for NLP tasks, like extracting meaning out of unstructured and ambiguous text. The computational cost of an LLM chewing through even moderately-sized document can be more efficiently spent on sophisticated parser technologies that have been around for decades, which can also to a degree deal with ambiguous and irregular grammars. LLMs should be able to help you write those.
At least for my uses, it's entirely free.

> But there were clearly people on the internet who believed what they were seeing. The fundraising campaign for Clemons’ funeral services drew $325. The one for Baker nabbed almost $800.

It's worth noting the scale that these frauds operated at. The typos and grammatical mistakes in the "news" reports were probably there specifically to avoid getting attention from too many people so that the fundraisers would stay smail enough to fly under the radar.
Someone literate in English would also need a dictionary just as much to read academic, esoteric, or old words from a museum. They might be able to guess the meaning based on word roots and context, but I assume someone literate with kanji could do the same based on radicals and context.

I think their claim is still defensible, and I think to make a fair argument you'd have to reduce the scope of kanji down to something the size of APL's vocabulary in any counterclaim.

> but in the JS world there are band-aids everywhere

I apologize, "band-aid" was the wrong word to use for this specific case, because that unintentionally disparages "band-aids". You are right there are "band-aids" that fix real-world problems, and help heal accidental wounds. This experiment does neither and seems to me worse than a "band-aid". It's a fragile broken and fake bridge that looks like it can get you to your destination but will collapse right under you if you try to use it (rather than switching to what already works today).
Post that have more comments than points, for example, get massively deranked rather quickly.

The reason this is done is to remove from the front page hot-button topics (i.e. controversial political news), but often this also includes friendly, niche posts with vibrant conversation, which is very sad to see. These tend to have < 1 upvote/comment ratio than most "Generic tech-adjacent news" like "Apple releases new iPhone".

For example, the Ask HN I posted a few hours ago suffered the same fate: https://hnrankings.info/39788649/: from #13 on the frontpage, to 3rd page in minutes.
