The Firefly was a flawed compromise. It made the Sherman an effective big cat killer, but affected its rate of fire and infantry fighting power.

But yes the Sherman was an excellent tank for its job: to wage war on multiple continents from factories in America, with regard for logistics, maintenance, ease of transportation, crew comfort and crew survivability.

It was a great example of pragmatism.

How do machines ‘grok’ data?
Rather than going through hoops in the US. I got a Mexico Temp Resident visa with no fiscal obligations to Mexico. Turns out I can get US clients, paying US rates and even equity. Figure out my own insurance and pension, but still way better as I have no tax obligations (not being American). Any downsides? BTW México is safe and better food and weather.

Show HN: Chess bot predicts your blunders to beat you faster
Chessmate is a transformer-based model that predicts your next chess move, tailored to players around 1500 ELO on lichess. Soon it will also offer personalized models and a broader range of ELO-based models. Hopefully this can offer a new and innovative way to learn chess and enjoy playing against a uniquely challenging bot!
Mine was 8-9 mb, there’s an html in the zip that contains them all.

What I’m not sure about is if 1.5 is truncating it.
Maybe if Google ignored news sites, things would improve.

Look at the Washington Post site. One good article above the fold, a right column of clickbait, and more clickbait when you scroll. Then crap "lifestyle" articles. Pathetic.
Where in the story could it be improved?

On my read it's at "2nd rate design firm in a flyover state"; a buy once//cry once here could make the "move to china" step unnecessary.

That said, I'm coming at this with webdev knowledge. I'd appreciate input.
This is my primary concern with Kagi.

The founder posted comments on hn assuring that they take privacy seriously, and I believe him, but most commercial companies (including the big ones like Microsoft) also claimed to take privacy seriously. Look at what they are doing right now: Blatant violations and even more blatant lies.

Search is a deeply personal activity. It can reveal far more information about the user than financial statements, health records, privileged attorney information, or library reading lists. Kagi therefore must _at least_ meet the same sanctity, privilege, and protection standards afforded to those parts of life. At present, Kagi does not meet these standards through technical means, and governing laws certainly fall short of compelling Kagi to meet either.

So while I appreciate what Kagi is trying to do and wish them success, I cannot see myself using it in its current form. Local (private) LLMs and fact checking through search engines that aren't tied to my PII simply provide a superior experience. At present, it's simply impossible for people like me who want better search and are willing to pay for it to become customers of Kagi. I find that to be a real shame :(
Just because people don’t talk about it doesn’t mean they like it. I’m still pissed about design changes from 10 years ago. What is the alternative?
CRYSTALS-Kyber, NTRU, SABER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, and FALCON are lattice-based method finalists in NIST PQC Round 3.

[1] NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIST_Post-Quantum_Cryptography...

The NTRU article mentions PQ resistance to Shor's only, other evaluations, and that IEEE Std 1363.1 (2008) and the X9 financial industry spec already specify NTRU, which is a Round 3 Finalist lattice-based method.

In [1] Under "Selected Algorithms 2022", the article lists "Lattice:
CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON; Hash-based: SPHINCS+".

Round 4 includes Code-based and
Supersingular elliptic curve isogeny algos.

FWIU
There's not yet a TLS 1.4/2.0 that specifies which [lattice-based] PQ algos webservers would need to implement to support a new PQ TLS spec.
I support this question - I work at IKEA as a software engineering leader, but I'm always curious about many things so last year I visited one of our factories in Poland when I was there on holiday, just to see it.

Glad I did, as not only can I do the software leadership part - I've now seen end-to-end some of our processes as I've also done some time of the shop floor, and I've been to our prototype labs - so now I can also talk 'the business'.

I have a pretty good understanding of how we develop, build, more and sell products - so for me KALLAX isn't just a product name and data but a real thing.
That's such a weird theory of harm. They still had to buy a copy of the game, right? So the harm is that the consumer would experience the story in the way they chose instead of the way the author intended? Death of the audience I suppose?
EVs definitely chew through tires faster. On top of being heavier they also have massive amount of torque. Same happens if you have a sporty ice car and you like to gun it - you will be buying new tires every 30k miles

While I agree that the US law on the matter is also fucked up, 17 U.S. Code § 1201 seems to be a civil violation not a criminal one. The police wouldn't arrest you and the punishment is financial and an injunction from further activities.
These technologies are developing so fast. I can't connect to my GH repo because I can not set up TOTP and now it seems like something with PAT has required my attention as well. I never considered myself stupid, but tinkering with GH is not what I want to do next instead of coding.
Is that not presumed by capitalists as well? It appears to me the difference between the two lies in the expectations (Marxist: bad outcome; capitalist: good outcome) and the degree to which moral judgements adhere (ironically, the putative "scientific" Marxists seem more moralist than the capitalists).
Stayed in the South many years and while yes they can be busy bodies, I don’t think they actually wish ill on others.

Before I proceed, I want to clarify that my question isn't directly related to YC but seeks guidance on my career path.

Background: I recently graduated in Computer Science and am currently self-learning deep learning through open-source lectures, books, and courses. I have a keen interest in research and am particularly curious about R&D labs, such as those at Google DeepMind and OpenAI's core research labs.

Question: How can I go about joining such labs? My goal is to immerse myself in an environment where I can collaborate with like-minded individuals who share my passion for deep learning and training models.

Possible answer: join such lab,

followup question: They prefer masters/PhD candidate?
It could have been trained on this exact picture created by a fan and uploaded to some forum. Ultimately it is impossible to know unless testing with brand new material.

I have the same problem with benchmarks that use real world tests (like SAT/LSAT/GRE or whatever else). The model got a good score, sure, but how many thousands of variations of this exact test was it trained on? How many questions did it encounter that were similar or the same?
How much effort was it really? Yes, they worked on it over 2 years, but I guess it wasn't more effort than a few hours every other week (apart from engineering the actual exploit). After all putting in a full time effort as an unpaid contributor would be suspicious in itself.

Assuming they work 40 hours a week and are doing this in a team (presumably every major player has such a team or is scrambling to get one now), one must expect many potentially infiltrated projects out there.
Oh, I love this question.

I've never shared this before, but my very first experience with "write lines into a text editor and run it" coding was in the Boston Public Schools system, at age 8, when we spent a few days learning Turtle graphics in the computer lab. "Move 10, turn 90 degrees, move 10, turn 90 degrees,"... And you have a square! This would have been, ah, 2002 or 2003.

Python has turtle in its standard library. https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html It makes me very, very happy.

Python 2.7 was also my first "real" programming language, which I learned at 14 while working a summer internship at Akamai Technologies after 9th grade. I managed to secure the position over some more talented friends because as soon as we had an Internet connected computer in the house I accidentally broke Windows, got my upstairs neighbor (who I later learned worked in bioinformatics, which explains a lot) to install Ubuntu 12 before my parents got home, and devoted virtually every waking hour of my life to reading Wikipedia, which meant I ended up reading a lot about computer programming terms. The first nontrivial program I remember writing was a polynomial division calculator in Python so I could check my math homework, which I would discover 10 years later helped me a lot with grokking finite fields. I always love when ideas across time knit together.

Python is still my go-to for roughing in ideas to this day. My subconscious sometimes generates nonsense Python code in my dreams after I've had a particularly productive day at work.

Since then I've added quite a few weapons to my arsenal. As a teenager I really enjoyed learning to program in different paradigms as opposed to just different coding styles, so I picked up some Scheme and Haskell early on and they've paid a lot of intellectual dividends. Learning good old fashioned C from K&R has proven to be surprisingly useful context to this day.

Nowadays I'm much more pragmatic: If I can do it in a shell script, arguably the highest level programming of all, that's where I start.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to brag about how cool and geeky younger me was. His life was by no means perfect, but I think he handled things really well!
That's expected, and why the model can reproduce the basic details.

But those Japanese light novels don't have millions of forum discussions and essays written on it. So it shows how well the model can recall sparse data in its training dataset, rather than recalling a dataset that basically shows up 100000 times in different forms.
Not OP but: spreading a UI amongst a bunch of files, which themselves have server side templating and logic in them and can't be run, imported, or tested in isolation.

I was never a JS fanboy but the modern JS/TS frameworks that let you organize and test the UI without an entire system running is better for maintenance imho.
I'm no expert, but to me "cyberdeck" is somewhere in the realm of DIY computer that breaks from the traditional form factor. Of course they still aim for practical - but the whole point of cyberdeck is to embrace the imaginative.

In short, I think of it like a technopunk cosplay for your computer.

This is not a good article, in my opinion. I think that the Bovington Museum's "Tank Chat" series are a lot better at putting these numbers in context. A tank is not just a spec sheet, but the outcome of prewar doctrines, industrial power, and the bitter realities of war.

The Soviets produced a tank that scared the first German units to encounter it. It was the threat that got them to replace their early anti-tank gun and to design the Tiger and the Panther.

Above all, it was produced in prodigious numbers despite the entire production being moved to the Urals (right?) in the middle of an invasion. It was adapted to a bigger gun and turret and remained a credible threat until the end of the war.

I didn't see a mention of its excellent cross-country capacity. It played a role in the dash through the German flank that resulted in the destruction of the 6th army.

Sure, it had appalling crew comfort and a very short lifespan, but it was a successful design that got the job done. No one claims that it won the war on its own, but it was an effective design that deserves praise.

The Bob Semple might have been the best tank design of the war, but it doesn't change the fact that it's the T-34 that entered Berlin.
Sexism. Japanese women have to pick between their career and having a family, so they pick the former. There's a lot of old men running Japan that won't hire married women or expect women who get married to leave the workforce.

Korea, which has even worse demographic problems than Japan, also has significantly worse sexism in ways I'd have to link you to a three-part Moon Channel YouTube video essay to even scratch the surface of.

Immigration is also a factor: getting permanent residency in Japan is a pain in the ass. America doesn't even notice its declining birth rate because everyone wants to move here and we let them in.
Of the classical type, all the puzzles of Puzzle Team. I started with puzzle-nonograms.com and played them all.

What is that based on? Your personal perception is not evidence of wider ambiguity either way (and neither is mine).
>I also have run linux as my main OS since I was 16, and that exposes you variously to a lot of code, or at least it used to.

Taking the plunge and daily driving Linux as a young teen is what I ascribe like 80% of my current-day machine sympathy to. I think any young person with any professional or personal interest in computing at all should do this. It's just very hard to "book learn" all the weird little things spending thousands of recreational tinkering hours in a Unix-like system will teach you.

Can't speak to Godot 3, but v4 has some infuriating bugs, unfinished features and idiosincracies. The interaction between scenes and code caused us to lose data more times than we can count and the dev team seems to be completely overwhelmed with the number of issues.

That being said, it is an engine that works and is used by enough people that you'll find bugs reported on the things that bother you, so you'll at least know if something is broken.

We found that doing as much as possible in GDScript and as little as possible in the editor is the way to go. The only time we had performance problems was when adding nodes (for some reason adding nodes is insanely slow). The multithreading is also still in need of work, but thread groups will, hopefully, solve the problem in the future.

We are currently looking into Bevy and Fyrox for BlockBawks since it needs a custom simulation engine, but we are still unsure. (It currently has a semi-working version in Godot, but spawning several 100k nodes is creating problems and will need optimizations.)
This was difficult to read. Not a hint of empathy on that thread.

Open up the Library Genesis and build a course in manufacturing and automation, and start a manufacturing services consultancy.

There are many topics to cover, including:

CAD design / Mechanical design / Product design

Strength of materials / Finite Element methods

Measurements / Geometric Tolerances

Reverse Engineering / CMM / Photogrammetry

Additive and Subtractive CAM methods

Marketing / Sales / Contract optimization

Logistics / Supply Chain management

Industrial regulations and compliance

Project management and stakeholder communications

Online commerce / Mass customized goods

And so on.

It's a lot of stuff, and you'll probably have to learn based on individual project needs

You'll also need to build a network of resources you can draw on to reduce project risks stemming from your own lack of experience, meaning you will need a focus on communication, and management.

You would not be blamed if you felt a need to go back to school for some of this. However, the school of contracting is also rather effective, assuming you are an autodidact and can surround yourself with the resources you need to ensure project success.

Good luck!
> if housing is so affordable in Japan, why are there still people who don't own homes?

Mostly because they don't need or want their own house and/or they spend their money on other stuff.

> Can an average McDonalds worker in their 20-ies just go and buy a home easily

The median McDonalds worker in Japan is 17 and lives with their parents. And maybe 3/4 of the ones who aren't teens are freeters.

If you don't make a lot of money you can certainly buy something but it won't be the nicest or in the best location.

> without applying for a lifetime-long mortgage?

Many people buy with cash, many get nicer homes with 35-year mortgages at super low interest rates.

I loved my 200LX. One of the fun features is the built-in infrared port. I used the database app to keep a running log of barcode scanning errors at my retail job. At the end of the day, I’d take it over to one of the printers that had infrared, print out a copy and hand it over to the manager. Pretty nifty in the days before Bluetooth and ubiquitous WiFi.

Writing "simple" code in itself isn't so simple.

The problem is that a lot of simple processes combined are no longer simple. So you need patterns which are general enough to write less processes, without being so general that developers write processes which are unintuitive and therefore complex by themselves.

My opinion is that tooling (perhaps with or without LLMs) can achieve the best of both worlds, by creating a simple query/projection (something in between) of complex code. Then the developer can get and mutate whatever properties they want from the code, without seeing unrelated information, and seeing seemingly-not-but-actually-related information presented in a concrete (simple) way.
Given that the article says that there is a toggle to hide the recommended apps, this doesn't make any sense.
People are so used to see artificial bureaucratic structures as more real than their real counterparts that they constantly invent such naive solutions. “Just make the gub'ment provide an official paper (with a stamp) that Joe Random Dude is a real developer, a father of two, not a fan of satanic metal music, and the project will be safe”.
