Not OP, but if it was anything like Macs running on similar hardware - MP3s was not viable, simply not enough grunt. Also most (all?) MP3 decoders relied on a FPU unit to function. But CD's where fine.
I am sure it varies by region.
What is accuracy in this case? is it meant to be recall or is it some evaluation metric?
Thank you, I think that's a good way of framing it and you're quite right.

Though you've also sparked an idea in me. I think a game focused sympathetically on an issue could do well to help in people's empathy. The vision that came to me was a Wheelchair Simulator where one would have to play to overcome the actual access restrictions wheelchair users face every day.
Sounds like Compose and Kotlin, although multiplatform still being more in a beta stage.
By design, the Google smear peaks at about 500ms off When :60 starts, Google smear is at 59.500, and when :0 starts, it's at :0.500.

IIRC, there were some different strategies on how to modulate the length of the seconds. One method was to make all seconds in the 24 hours around the change uniformly longer; another was to increase second length slowly and then decrease slowly after the leap second. Either way, you'd need to do some math to determine when you were out of compliance, and if that overlapped with time you were operating where compliance was needed.

IMHO, better to not smear, and just not trade for a couple seconds around the leap second.
It's a long road, even with faith of the heart.
The peter principle assumes that competence in one role automatically translates to less competence in a higher role. If you follow this logic and reverse it, then it would be safe to assume that Steve Jobs would have been one of the best data entry clerks ever employed by Apple.
Fairness is a requirement. 'Liberty and justice for all'.
Pretty silly I guess. They may as well force Australian households to buy a newspaper subscription and cut out the middle man.

I can understand the desire by publishers to retain an income stream and maintain their existence.

However, the underlying desire is for decent journalism, and if the government wants that, they could just pay journalists. Preferably via lump sums to journalist organisations which would then employ the journalists. Their output would be public domain so that the publishers could make use of it.
God, I just saw his name on HN, and was afraid he'd died.

Agreed on all counts, down to having contemplated 3D printing molds to manufacture custom silicone masks. I also wish the tube had a sensor to detect whether you are sleeping on your back to preemptively raise the pressure. Or having better algorithms to detect hypopneas before the air stops flowing altogether.

I don't even understand why purchasing a CPAP machine requires a prescription. I'm scared of the possibility of a doctor denying me a new CPAP machine when the current one inevitably croaks. The device is a glorified fan, for goodness sake.
I feel this is a key thing that makes chat work really well for some remote workers and terribly for others: what's the expectation of responsiveness to chat?

For example, if you feel you need to respond to any DM (either implicitly due to company culture or explicitly because your boss has brought it up as a complaint about you), then slack is a huge interruption. You probably feel the need to have intrusive notifications enabled and/or a bouncing dock icon indicating new messages.

On the other hand, if the norm at your company is "slack is async so expect a response in 2-3 business hours," then yeah - it's rarely, if ever, interrupting.
If I input a CSV with columns A, B, C and D, what is this generated model actually learning?
>Windows never caused you issues? That's an incredibly bold statement.

How so? It's not a fact, it's just how my experience was. Just because you had a different experience doesn't mean my experience was wrong or false, because like I said it's just my experience and not a fact and therefore it can neither be right or wrong.

As a free man, I will stick to whatever tool gave me the least issues and avoid those that have. Simple.

>I had to switch off of Windows because it was nothing but issues.

Good for you man. Remember, this isn't a competition, the OS is just a tool like your hammer or drill, not a religion, so nobody cares what your personal OS choices are what your reasons for your choices are, as long as you're happy with what you use that's all that matter, just don't judge others for their choices and reasons.

I don't think the instruction encoding is a significant problem. Cache coherency really might be.

A current x64 chip is a dozen or so separate dies with eight or so x64 cores per die, with a couple of those in different sockets. When one thread on one code decides to write to a cache line, the memory model makes really strong guarantees about cores on some other socket noticing that change.

Arm doesn't have to go with total store order. GPUs involve distinct blocks of memory with their own invariants on when caches are invalidated at potentially very coarse granularity (like no change will be seen until after a kernel has finished executing, where a kernel is essentially a process that sprung to life and then did arbitrary amounts of maths).

Fast x64 code is prone to carefully partitioning the problem across different cores and trying not to hit a cache from another core but even then you still have something like MOESI sitting in the background waiting just in case some thread mutates the instructions executing on another one.
Yeah ok, open mindedness is lovely. Cults bad, got it.

Qwen1.5-72B-Chat is dominant in the Chatbot Arena leaderboard, though. (Miqu isn't on there due to being bootleg, but Qwen outranks Mistral Medium.)
I had been experiencing this vulnerability, as well as the Dirty Pagetable vuln, for the last six months. It's gotten to the point where I've disabled user and network namespaces entirely.

Long story short: it's very advantageous for an unscrupulous kernel developer to take advantage of embargoes for 0-days on targets he does not like.
The touchscreen interface everywhere is just so bad ... with buttons I can build muscle memory for various things without taking my eyes off the road. Now I have to keep looking at the giant screen, use a touchpad (seiorusly? a touch pad in a car while driving), or tap on a screen by navigating a complex, deep menu, who thought this was safer or more comfortable?

Same with interfaces in other places too, my recent plane ride only had a back of the seat touch screen for everything, including the light, and call button. Guess what happened ... I tried to open an app and it hung, without any option to kill that app. There is no "Home" button, soft or physical. So for the rest of my flight I had no entertainment, no ability to call the attention of the attendants, no ability to control the light. I was told the reset panel was under and they have to reset the entire flight. I think this part was just the steward being lazy, because I have seen other similar planes where they can reset the systems individually in each seat.

Interestingly, after sometime, another passenger also experienced the same but his system afte sometime popped up a window saying the "server" is not responding and let them quit that app and go back to the home screen.
It's not as alarming if we just reframe it. Apple's software is written by developers, like many HN readers, and they follow similar interal processes. There is nothing inherent about having a large market cap that makes everyone involved superhuman. Some issues always slip through the cracks.

I'm surprised to see this comment on HN where many readers see how the sausage is made. There's no secret sauce, no matter how far up in FAANG/MANGA you get.
This project started as a rewrite of a Bash script (for learning purposes), so I can easily answer this question. It's indeed small. Here's the full Bash script I used to use (including comments):

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# stored in the battery identified by `BAT0`. This
# is what works on my ThinkPad X220 and may not be
# portable to other laptops without changes.

cd /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 || exit $?

# Sometimes there are `energy_now` and `energy_full`
# pseudofiles, and sometimes there are `charge_now`
# and `charge_full` pseudofiles instead.
if [[ -e energy_now ]]; then
now=$(<energy_now)
full=$(<energy_full)
unit=Wh
elif [[ -e charge_now ]]; then
now=$(<charge_now)
full=$(<charge_full)
unit=Ah
fi

# Convert from microwatt-hours (or microampere-hours)
# to watt-hours (or ampere-hours).
now=$(bc <<< "scale=1; $now / 1000000")
full=$(bc <<< "scale=1; $full / 1000000")
echo "$now $unit / $full $unit (${percent}%)"

I really, really hate having to say anything in defense of Facebook, but this is just a scummy move. If you're going to tax them, at least be honest about it and call it a tax.
It generally isn't really, which is why the powers that be have decided to abolish the leap seconds (at the latest in 2035). There's a notice period to adapt the few systems that do care.
You’re not there for any of those things from cars. The energy and movement people visit Manhattan for are from other people – if they wanted car noise, they’d be out at a racetrack.
Only works on the original motherboard (or maybe only motherboards made by the specific vendor the CPU was locked to) - so if you buy a used vendor-locked CPU, there's a risk it's basically just a nice looking paperweight. Serve The Home has a pretty good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNVuTAVYxpM
There was something new, at least for me.

For those who don't want, or don't have time to watch the video, the part about cell phones and poles was this: Ukraine created a network of 8000 such phones on poles that use their microphones, and they do some type of analysis and are able to identify where the Russian drones (like the Shahed) are coming. With this information, they can use anti-air artillery (like the German Gepard) and take down the incoming drone, and this is much more cost effective than using expensive missiles like the Patriot.

What was left completely unsaid was that a microphone that picks up the noise from a Shahed can equally pick up the noise from an F-35. That is going to be a potential problem.

So Gazans are blamed for voting for Hamas's "from the river to the sea" 15 years ago, but Israelis are blameless and "just want the hostages back" even though they have repeatedly voted for Likud's "from the river to the sea" over and over again ever since Likud's terrorist branch assassinated Yitzhak Rabin and his peace plan 30 years ago.
It's different:

Holmes' board going into the scandal included an unusual roster of names for a healthcare startup, with leaders who had more experience in politics and government than healthcare

OTOH, JetZero's board include former executives of:

Airbus

Gulfstream

AirFrance KLM

Major aircraft and jet engine makers as well as airlines. In other words, very strong industry knowledge and connections.
IMHO opinion you have to take happiness surveys like this with a grain of salt. For one thing, there is no such thing as a happiness ruler, this is all based on survey responses and subjective ideas of what it means to be happy. The effect sizes are small and inconsistent. The same surveys frequently show industrial countries significantly less happy than developing countries, and yet few people would choose to live like a Guatemalan instead of a Canadian.

And despite what they may say to surveys like this, it's pretty difficult to find parents who are willing to admit they wish they hadn't had kids. Most consider their family the most important aspect of their lives.

More importantly, "happiness" is a poor metric to optimize one's life around, and hardly anyone does. Most people search for purpose and meaning, which children supply in spades.
So character-assassinate the messenger ?

I don't know how you can say that (other than your personal preference). The cars have been there, doing those things, for generations. They are quieter and pollute less now.

Are they trying to turn NY into Long Island? Keep the things that make NY unique and special - people obviously love it.
If not are sampled from the same population then they’re not really independent, even if they’re totally disjoint.
You can shrink it further by doing xorl reg, reg. On x86, the upper 32 bits are cleared for you when using 32 bit opcodes. No need to do a 64-bit reg, reg xor.

Instead of doing cmp $0, %eax, you can use test eax, eax - that's another low hanging fruit.

It seems that you could also preset a dedicated reg to 0 and another to 1, further shaving a few bytes.

EVs don’t have tailpipe emission but they have tire and brake dust (worse, due to the average weight) and make tire and wind noise, not to mention having horns. From a climate change perspective, less CO2 is better but for things like heart disease, asthma, stress as well as water pollution they’re not much of an improvement.
> Where is the hacker culture in aviation that we've been amazed by in the AI space? Even people doing cool things as small groups, like the black arrow guys, are just building in the same local minima.

Well, a basic body + wings shape, anyone with moderate skill can construct that with a kit in their garden shed and fly it.

But all these exotic design ideas? These require immense amounts of compute power to design them so that they'll actually take off and substantial investment into manufacturing tooling to manufacture them, far surpassing the capabilities of all but a very few very rich hobbyists, and people with that kind of money generally don't subject themselves to the high operational risk of general aviation. Even in cars there's no one working on home-builds for carbon composite stuff, and the potential for failures and the risk of said failures to not just the pilot but everyone on the ground there is orders of magnitude lower than with planes.

And on top of that come the regulatory issues associated with anything that flies. There are many MANY MANY orders of magnitude less people with pilot licenses in the first place, most of Europe doesn't allow flights from anything else than a licensed airstrip (although the US is different there IIRC), and new designs require an immense amount of certification paperwork, which is also the reason why it took until last year to get unleaded fuel certified (whose rollout will take at least 3-5 years).
"Assassinate the assasinator" - this doesn't sound as bad now, does it?
Not recently. GPT-3 from 2020 requires even more RAM; the open-source BLOOM from 2022 did too.

In my view, the main value of larger models is distillation (which we particularly witness, for instance, with how Claude Haiku matches release-day GPT-4 despite being less than a tenth of the cost). Hopefully the distilled models will be easier to run.
I spent a very long time trying to make sense of the broad concept of harmony. Here’s what I came up with:

> A macOS version is cheating. That I can use... but it's not the standard Emacs UI.

There is no such thing as a single standard UI. In addition to the terminal version, GNU Emacs was ported to window systems loooooooong time ago.

It's perfectly normal to use them. I use the GTK version of GNU Emacs on Linux.
Honking is moderate. The biggest source of noise is ambulance / fire / occasionally police sirens.

Does behavioral economics offer an alternative theory with useful predictions? Like, do we have an option pricing model that holds up better than models coming out of standard theory?
I did a Cog Sci bachelor and this is the conclusion I made I finished my studies. A lot of Thinking Fast and Slow are summaries of research done in the field over decades. In particular, biases and intuition as internalized knowledge/expertise. Sure you can complain about replication issues but this is the best model when it comes to minds that I know of.
We're working with the venue to stream it. At the very least, we will be recording the entire event and uploading it to YouTube!
How does seat-miles matter here at all? That's not a normal metric used in this field.

Using seat-miles leads to some very strange conclusions. Consider cargo aircraft with zero seats, or a helicopter that mostly hovers in place all day.

Aviation safety primarily looks at airframe hours and pressurization cycles. At least on the mechanical side.

VRAM in excess of the model one is using isn’t useful per se. My use cases require high throughput, and on many tasks the A6000 executes inference at 2x speed.
If you have to refactor both, something is still wrong. Tests should check behavior, not implementation. Refactoring should change implementation, not behavior. If refactoring requires you to change your tests, something is wrong with the way you test, or with the way you refactor. One common possibility is that you’re writing isolated unit tests (using dependency injection to prevent the code under test from calling its dependencies) rather than sociable unit tests (the code under test runs normally).[1]

You do you, though! As long as the code works and is easy to refactor, it’s all good.

[1] For more about writing sociable tests, see “Testing Without Mocks: A Pattern Language.” I’m on my phone but it’s easily googleable.

Any one of the large economies in the world could write up sanctions that could devastate the Israeli economy, it is not hard to disrupt supply chains.

They just know the actual war is Israel vs Iran and Iran is just using the Palestinian resistance as their puppet.

Do you honestly think Russia, North Korea, and China are suddenly the champions of human rights in the world or something?

If you are pro Palestine you should be grateful someone is finally destroying Hamas (Iran). Just like the US firebombing Tokyo was a humanitarian disaster, do you honestly think the US should have signed a ceasefire with the Empire of Japan? Because I don’t think it’s very controversial to say the civilians in Tokyo didn’t deserve to suffer because of their government’s actions.

IAD is the only airport I've been to where I've spent an hour at immigration and then walked through to the luggage claims hall to find that my airline's ground handler still hadn't loaded bags from my flight on the carousel (note this was a full hour at least after arrival) so I had to wait even longer there! Every other port I've had long immigration processing, the good thing was my bags were usually already on the carousel. Interestingly, LAX on the other hand was a breeze, my bags was already on the carousel just as I walked in the hall. A brisk walk to intercept my bag as it rolled around and I was outside within minuites. YMMV but IAD is not an airport I'm keen to use anytime soon! :)
