I don't think it's wishful thinking. I think newer generations in times like these will tend to rebel against the attitude of their parents in any direction that takes them. With grumpy old Greeks, that means the younger generation are calmer and maybe more positive too. Life's too short to be miserable.

I find the ancient and Byzantine history fascinating myself. Naturally the liberation struggles are also important, but the very religious and closer-to-present history and culture don't interest me as much. I also always found it quite hypocritical of the older generation that they biased towards the more recent history and the Orthodox religious aspects, but then they'd sell you trinkets of the ancient world while quietly ignoring the pagan nature of it.

IMO, one of the last big issues with Greek culturally and in terms of economic opportunity for young adults, is mandatory conscription. I won't be returning for anything more than a holiday unless I get a permanent exemption. Many Greeks tend to ignore the opportunity cost this impacts young men with. It's not just "a forced gap year" since you have to do it regardless of if you study or not.

By having emigrated before the peak of the crises around 2015, I avoided both wasting a year on conscription and finished my studies sooner. Anecdotally I'm pretty sure taking that leap was the best thing I could've done, considering what I know of my pees right now (highly educated, but overworked and underpaid).

They are comparing a non-ensembled transformer model with an ensemble of simple linear models. It's not surprising that the ensemble models of linear time series models will do well, since ensembles optimize for the bias-variance trade-off.

Transformer/ML models by themselves have a tendency to overfit past patterns. They pick up more signal in the patterns, but they also pick up spurious patterns. They're low bias but high variance.

It would be more interesting to compare an ensemble of transformer models with an ensemble of linear models to see which is more accurate.

(that said, it's pretty impressive that an ensemble of simple linear models can beat a large scale transformer model -- this tells me the domain being forecast has a high degree of variance, which transformer models by themselves don't do well on.)
Some neoconservative politician roleplaying as an anarchist reached the country's top office. He's privatising everything on a speedrun, weakening all labour regulations, waging an economic war against China, the country's top economic partner, and promised he would forfeit the country's currency to the Americans by switching to dollars. So ig for foreign investors its now or never to plunder what's left of Argentina.

Wow, congrats. Does she still take immunosuppressants? If so do you and your family take extra caution to not bring home any sickness (for example always washing hands or similar). If her body accepted the liver, how long did it take for that to happen? It's very interesting to me, especially if we can figure out how to force the body to learn/accept the transplant with something better than immunosuppressants and not immunosuppressants. Thanks.

Yeah, the story is always more complicated than what you generally hear.

I've never read about the eastern connection to the Enlightenment in any place, but lots of references pop up. A translation of the play Shakuntala by Kalidasa seems to have created a bit of stir for instance, even inspiring some of the structure in Faust by Goethe.

I have to say, this just reads as a thought-terminater happening on your end - we evidently live in a world where even people who strongly believe more should be done to stop human suffering ARE RIGHT NOW engaged in doing all kinds of other stuff not directly going towards preventing that, including assigning non-negligible amounts of resources to said stuff. Obviously the opposition is a question of the relative perceived scale of the expense of X to other problems Y, rather than literally wanting an indefinite Achilles-and-turtle race to perfection.

It's not that we can't do more than one thing, it's that if we are gonna devote massive amounts of resources to some grand scale project, there are disagreements about what's more pressing.

Now personally I do believe becoming interstellar should be one of our shared goals, and that it will be good for us (and the rest of the biosphere) long term. However, I really think that "nevermind the starving kids they will die anyway, it is what it is, focus on space instead" is gonna actively deteriorate our chances of ever getting anything done because it comes off as deeply detached and cruel.

You know what would be a tangible benefit of automated asteroid mining? Making child-powered cobalt mines obsolete in a flash, and full-stopping the environmental devastation of stripmining on earth. These are vastly better selling points than "there is no such thing as zero suffering".
Right, we are not open source, but the IDE is free to use. The Slack integration and other product offerings that are in the works will be in the 'premium' version of the product that's sold to enterprise

I've been on vacation there some 15 years ago. Half of the population lived in cities half in the open spaces as herders. Two different worlds like nothing I saw before. I recommend going there.

They told me that when herders loose too many animals and can't recover they have to move to cities. It's a complete change of life, doing city jobs and they were not liking it.

I think the runaway success of p2p file sharing platforms (from Gnutella to Bittorrent and everything in between), Bitcoin and others prove that plenty of users do want decentralized systems.

It's interesting that you named a bunch of very large corporations who have a vested interest in users not having the choice of decentralized systems (which they cannot control or profit from) as "proof" that decentralized systems are not desirable.

Okay developers can't do anything now.

Sue is probably not the better description of the thoughts I had. Let's say, can't the developers do anything in an act of retaliation? Given that so much work came from the community.

> ... advertised

Yeah. Wrong choice of word. Using one kind of license to get the attention of public is in spirit akin to advertising(that was the line of thought I had). I am not doubling down on stupified things I said, I am tryina explain what I thought.

So... if I can re-ask the question , I take my dumb-comment yesterday back and ask it like this :

can't the community do in act of retaliation against these acts ?

can't we mandate community approval for license updates when the community is also participating in contribution and popularizing its usage

I do not have anything against Redis. What is going to happen to the future of FOSS and software in general , if once open(open source and Libre) projects end up walled or proprietary etc.
Famously, "open" is usually considered to be the same as "visible". When people say that a door is open, they typically mean that they can see the door.
There was a window after Kubrick’s “2001” and before “Star Wars” when science fiction in Hollywood was allowed to be for adults.

Robert Wise’s 1979 “Star Trek” is an interesting and unique transitional case because it retains the 2001-inspired ponderous abstract storytelling but got a Star Wars level budget. Personally I love it for that, but I know most people disagree.

(Speaking of Wise, his “Andromeda Strain” is an absolute 1970s sci-fi gem.)

Sony and Microsoft obviously don’t benefit from opening up the platforms, it’s not just something they don’t care about but something they actively oppose, and they specifically ensured they got legislative exceptions to ensure they would never have to reciprocate under the DMA.

Your goals aren’t aligned, you’re just a useful idiot to them and they’ll cast you aside as soon as they no longer need you. The end result of the push isn’t going to be “free as in freedom” for everybody here, just Microsoft capturing 90% of a revenue stream instead of 70%.

Classic populism moment - but of course it’s “populism, but on the computer”.

Freedoms for users and freedom for business are two fundamentally opposed and conflicting goals, see: GPL vs MIT/BSD. And in their moment of victory, businesses will just steamroll right over you - just like they literally already did with consoles.

It’s just crazy that they have these exceptions when their own hardware is very much general-purpose on a technical level, and when they’re actively pushing to use that general-purpose capability to ensnare users with AI features and other crap.

Sony and Microsoft are two of the platforms that stand to gain the most from AI adoption literally purely on the basis of being closed platforms with proprietary APIs (plus a minimal amount of interop for embrace-extend-extinguish) with millions of active users and a captive audience of dev studios who have no choice but to use Sony and Microsoft’s closed, gatekept platforms.

Somehow the plight of poor little Larian being stepped on by Sony and Microsoft and Epic just doesn’t make the front page of HN like apple hate.

The entire internet is a decentralized system. So is email. Almost everything built before monetization was decentralized. It's only been proven than corporations that trying to monetize don't want decentralized systems.
Sure the bots are a problem, but that didn't arise with the API changes in my experience.
Yes but they have EU sub companies. They also have a GmbH here in Germany.
It helps, but it still gets stuck in local optima based on what it started with. I've never seen it turn around and correct its faulty reasoning unless it tried to actually run the code and observed an Exception. If I respond with "but have you considered XYZ?", my leading question will usually cause it to correct itself, even when it wasn't incorrect.

We need some way to generate multiple independent thoughts in parallel. Each separate thought is constructed using chain of thought to improve the reliability. Then you have some way to "reduce" these multiple thoughts into a single solution. The analogy would be a human brainstorming session where we try to attack the same problem from multiple angles and we try to decorrelate each idea/approach.
I use those on purpose, because they were there before Internet became a thing, using their proprietary systems, and after the Internet boom, the abstract set of "users" basically gathered around centralized systems that provide them the comfort to know where to go to, what to talk about with their friends and family.

You're not wrong, but to be fair, Switch offers a decent offline only experience. So in that scenario Nintendo would like you to get a new Switch or to buy a game cartridge. For many cases, especially Nintendo exclusives, this would work.

Surely first-mover for smartphones is palm or blackberry or even Windows Mobile.

Yes, apple has about half the market today, that’s not the same thing as being first-mover. In fact it’s actually completely different because people had to make the choice to move away from the first-movers to apple.

People literally did give up their blackberries and palms and Jornadas for iPhone, consciously and deliberately, because it was a better product. And now you want to change the product and erode the benefits back to the minimum standard defined by android. That’s a taking.
I had a good time with PICO-8 - and I think it retains its core appeal - but I've moved on to "genuine" retro hardware with the new crop of machines like CX16, Mega65, or my personal choice, Agon Light. The specification ends up being tighter when there's a board design, chips and I/O ports, and these new machines, like Picotron, are relatively uncompromised in what they can achieve within the I/O spec. You can emulate them, talk to the hardware directly, run BASIC or C or Forth or whatever other language.

Lua might be too slow to run interpreted on real 8-bits as in the Pico series, but it can be used as the base for a cross-compiler instead, and that presents a different spin on the specific coding challenge: Why not create an ultimate development environment, something that generates the precise code needed for that type of project? That's the direction that the highly optimized PICO-8 games took, and it is likewise seen in new demos for C64, Spectrum, A800 etc. - the "big hardware" is leveraged towards the old stuff in a way that can ignore the assumed paradigms of both.
The infrastructure doesn't matter when specific services are only available in one domain.

Those corporations need users to buy their ideas, let's not blame corporations without blaming the users that embrace them with open arms.
Apple revenue would likely go up in an open ecosystem. See Microsoft if you don't believe me.

If we knew about mushrooms because of poisonous mushrooms then your point might stand.

> “I don’t know, ergo we might not know”

Never said that. I'm saying until proven otherwise, I would prefer my meat to have had an immune system, to have experienced sunshine and contain vitamin D in the fat, and to have been stimulated by nerves during its lifetime. The onus is not on me to prove that lab grown meat is equivalent or better. How long has someone survived by exclusively eating lab grown meat?

You're not providing any evidence that all the important questions have been answered.

Considering that we are just now coming around to appreciate the nutritional value of fat (thanks, big sugar) I'm not going to trust quick studies that could be funded by vested interests. Vegans are not immune to capitalism. If there's a study you want to talk then like, send it over.
The answer is in there:

> One user, who goes by Monica, wrote in a post on her personal blog that Glassdoor added her name and the city where she lives to her Glassdoor profile following an email exchange with Glassdoor customer support, despite having never provided her name during the sign-up process some years earlier. Monica, whose last name we’re not publishing to protect her privacy, accused Glassdoor of getting her full name from the email she sent to customer support, which she says they added to her Glassdoor profile.

General overview of biotech industry look at Stat magazine and subscribe if you can afford it. Listen to their weekly "Readout Loud" podcast.

For actual projects if you live in USA: Seattle, NYC, SF, Baltimore then visit community bio labs there. People are generally friendly and there are easy ways to get involved through either group meetups or classes.

If you don't it's much harder since DIY bio is still so early. If you are near a local university there might be some opportunities to work with others. Watch Thought Emporium videos to see what is possible with a home lab in principle though probably not in practice unless you are full time and wealthy.

Not doing anything saves power and NAND cycles.

Yeah, it seems to me if you're not buying into the entire app being based on React, including JSX with Router/Layout/etc. there's not much point to even using it library.

At that point, you can just write your own Javascript functions / classes for rendering, and handle your own state management

HTMX lends itself more to "sprinkling". Its basically just a very compact version of fetch(), combined with trigger logic (e.g. setTimeout(), onclick, etc.

> Does HTML have the reproducibility that PDF promises? My feeling is that if I store a PDF, it'll look the same in a decade.

Feelings and promises are each one thing. Reality is another. PDF doesn't even look "the same" today. I have serious questions about how often folks who think that PDF is reliably consistent from system to system step outside their bubble and just how diverse their setups are that they're testing on.

> is HTML the same way?

Well the status-quo for copy-and-paste in HTML isn't dogshit, it's comparatively trivial to find and use tools that can thoroughly and exhaustively search your collection (or even write your own), and HTML is a dead simple plain-text format that if worst comes to worst you can read with your eyes (unlike needing to run a bunch of inscrutable code from a PostScript subset through an interpreter before you can do anything with it). So, no, I wouldn't call them the same.
