Dealing with Time Zones in Programming
When the cartoon image of the db 800 scrolled into view, I couldn't help poking it a few times to see if it was "live" since programming that would be a few hours' work for someone these days. I guess we can move mountains now (as long as there's no metal stamping and plastic injection involved).

Ebook sales have trended down in the US since 2013[0]. They got a pandemic bump in 2020 which didn’t put them over the peak years in 2013/14 and like many things had a correction downwards afterwards[1].

Amazon maintains 70% of the US ebook marketplace and keeps a much bigger portion of the money from books published through their publishing arm than they do book published through the traditional publishers. They also have less high standards for publishing. This makes it harder to find traditional published books on the biggest platform for selling them.

Interesting. LLAMA is trained using 16K GPUs so it would have taken around a quarter for them. An hour of GPU use costs $2-$3 so training a custom solution using LLAMA should be atleast $15K to $1M. I am trying to get started with this thing. A few guys suggested 2 GPUs were a good start but I think that would only be good for 10K training samples.

doesn't it make sense to advertise people something they are likely to want?

Your oven experience is a perfect example.

Showing you oven ads when you are searching for an oven makes some sense. This is called "context sensitive" advertising.

Showing you oven ads on totally unrelated web sites long after you already bought one is the dumb "personalized" advertising that most people are now blocking.
Tk has basically the same model as CSS, except that it's not strictly hierarchical. (Though CSS has that now, too: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@scope)
One of the first big games on the original iPhone after the App Store was shipped was “super Monkey Ball”, a port of a popular console franchise. It was basically this but with fancier graphics, many more levels and mechanics and cute characters. I remember being amazed how well it worked with the phone’s accelerometer and how good it looked back then. Hard to believe that was ~15 years ago already.

I cannot align the 3 apps the person uses on the thumb side of the home screen and have the rest unused. I have no dedicated back button THIS IS THE WORST for a 98 year old with very shaky hands.

Consistency? Everything is all over the place for different apps.
Real-World Examples of Using Feature Flags for Migration
I will concede to an argument that CSS exemplifies "design by committee" pejorative and is blighted by backward compatibility woes, but rest assured, it does its job as best as it can. Web development has patchworked its way out of most problems it has created, making it somewhat burdensome to learn. I'd say that is its Achilles's heel.
Wonder why it has a 2 star rating

He then shares info from some original sources. He's been involved in Ukraine for 26+ years and spends a lot of time there.

If you want to transmit with your Baofeng before getting a HAM license you can always get a GMRS license. There's no test, and the license is a household license that lasts 10 years. IIRC the license costs about $30, you can get one on the FCC website (https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/support/knowledge-base/universa...).

If you have a repeater in your area there may be a net where other licensed operators check in every week. I've heard people check in from over 60 miles before. You can check this website for repeaters in your area: https://mygmrs.com/repeaters. Good luck on your technician test!
The Compiler Explorer Story
This is so my experience. Also when you can just declare something as “any” and effectively say f it to the entire concept they’re trying to enforce…what’s the point? From time to time human nature takes over and you use any, and the disease has started the spread. If i wanted loose types, i wouldn’t have used typescript. So “pick a side” is all i can ever think when i work with ts.
I happen to quite like CSS (in comparison to any other layouting system out there), but I really wouldn't characterize it plenty comprehensible.

I'm quite certain there's no human on earth that could reliably predict the outcome of most non-trivial real-life CSS layouts given just the code. And even though the situation has improved a lot, it's still common to have to use clearfixque hacks that definitely weren't envisioned by the commitees.
AIUI this is still not user level authentication. It rather secures the communication between hosts, but you still have to choose between sec=sys ("trust me bro") or sec=krb5* at the upper layer.
Worth noting that in GP's case it may "only" be that the people running that specific server turned on the phone number requirement to view messages.
It’s always funny to read people that just never understood CSS trying to convince everyone that CSS is impossible to understand!

Is there any examples of server-side rendering that pre-determines a masonary layout for the content?

Like: Given these images, and this window size, here's a calculated layout to make them all look nice...

I figure this would be more performant than any type of JS polyfill
I think the commenter did fully grasp the meaning. Segal's law doesn't give you any clearly-defined system for grappling with uncertainty, it merely points out the existence of uncertainty and one way that we turn a blind eye to it.

The best approach in some cases is to ignore uncertainty and move forward - carrying one watch, as it were.

Two other valid approaches are voting and medians. These are both accomplished with 3 watches.

The crux of Segal's law is that all measuring instruments are imperfect. We could bicker endlessly about the best way to use our tools, but at some point someone's just going to need to know what the damn time is.
Millions of people boycott Nestle products still, with no downside to their lives beyond missing out on Kitkats. Not driving around in an advert for a right wing nutjob isn't going to negatively impact anyone's life.
Apple: DeviceCheck
>Stateless Windows

Good suggestion.

This is the Universal Write Filter (UWF) which descended from the earlier Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) in Windows Embedded.

Basically Windows runs like normal (i.e. from your Windows folder on the drive it is installed on), but any time there would normally be a need to write to the drive (for updating settings, files or whatever) the writes are directed to the RAM instead, so writes can be discarded as desired upon reboot for Windows to return to the reference state.

The UWF can be combined with Windows Kiosk Mode and it can be a foundation for a pretty well-mangaged stand-alone (or networked) desktop.

Alternatively, with a Linux Live desktop like you get when booted to a Linux Live "install" USB stick (without Linux actually being installed on HDD or SSD), the OS and entire file system itself runs from memory, and any updates or apps you install are also in memory only unless you enable "persistence", otherwise there are no routine writes to the USB drive and it reboots to the same reference defaults every time.
Interesting point (arguments do frequently devolve into pointless meta-arguments), but I'd be surprised if you can totally avoid analogies. Analogies are extremely powerful. They're arguably all we have when it comes to reasoning.

Ironically, Segal's Law, which you seem to approve of, is itself an analogy. I don't think anyone here is really concerned with knowing what time it is or whether or not it's a good idea to wear two watches.
Ah special lassis, that was a different experience every time. Apart from that one time south of Agra where they only put some dried fruits in, and I kept waiting for magic that never came. Not the kind of special I was looking for :)
It’s kinda funny that the Waymo car is so impatient. I’m pretty sure in this situation I would have just waited until the group ride cleared out to ahead of me and then continued. I would not want to crowd or find my way around them. If I wanted to get past such a big group ride I would probably reroute onto another block since they would keep catching me at stop lights.
I believe Dart was originally gradually typed, and then abandoned the gradual typing for strict-typing-by-default? That doesn't quite sound properly type-safe to me although still safer than how Javascript is by default.

Ask HN: How to find AI models for various niches?
I am looking at the financial/stock market niche. How would you go about finding an AI model to use for an AI app for it?

For example, if I were to scrape hundreds of reports about various stocks and feed them to chatgpt to get predictions and analysis, I think it would lose it after a bit (I noticed chatgpt works better with smaller queries), so how and where you find various models for various tasks? Can someone explain this like like to a 5 year old in as plain language as possible?

Thank you!
I’m sure my iPhone 14 Pro with 6GB RAM can handle the 4GB weights no?

You could say all of that of other things e.g. the MDR, where the end result in practice is complete crap. The system of "notified bodies" is commercial bureaucracy with random efficiency. If an agency wants to audit me, just dot it. The FDA does, with lower delays than commercial EU notify bodies... (right now the EU is accumulating more and more years of delay on putting medical devices on the market, even locally developped)
The point GP is making is that they didn't have to, because the architecture made it infinitely configurable while remaining coherent.

Billions of connected devices worldwide do indeed run on *nix with a mad variety stacked on top.
Have you considered leaving this society where people value libraries for one without taxes? It might suit you better.

As per tools, you benefit from having a community that doesn’t needlessly spend on tool duplication or rental, which ultimately concentrates local wealth. But that’s an economic argument when the real one is that it’s a desirable service for cost, convenience and community spirit.

Prolog has well-defined execution order with side-effects. It's an imperative language masquerading as a declarative one.

It feels wildly absurd that mobile phones have so much RAM these days in comparison to even client desktops and laptops.

There's two issues here still, IMHO:

1) The LLM owners really can't guarantee that it won't directly plagiarize without attribution or licensing. Your code may contain a unique algorithm or method for solving something, and when someone asks the right question, your code may simply be the only answer it knows to give.

2) While the code being used as training input was open source and visible to the public to learn from, the models being built often aren't. It seems unethical to train from public data yet keep the resulting weights private and charge for access to use the trained weights.
ChatGPT 3 was already far beyond google translate in my attempts, mostly using it between English, Danish and Swedish.

Even being able to ask it to translate song lyrics while retaining rhyming structure was sometimes not too bad :)
We had that same experience. My wife’s grandmother was 90-something when I got her an Android tablet thinking it would be easy to set up. She kept doing stuff that broke the experience for her. It would go home when she was trying to do something else, and wouldn’t go home when she wanted to. I can’t remember everything but it was enough to really frustrate her. After a while switched to an iPad and 90% of the issues went away. Only one that didn’t was taking a pic with a camera. There was something we couldn’t sort: (IIRC, it’s been a while) moving the red button to the left instead of right side so her good hand could click it easily. And she sometimes still turns wifi off. But that’s it, and she’s now 103. Maybe they’re better now. Not going to test that!
I know what you mean with the last sentence, it feels the same for me when reading text too in that it disappears if I'm engrossed in the story. However, for audio, I listen at 3 to 5x speed so audio can be magnitudes faster than text. You should probably try increasing the speed of your YouTube videos, that's also what I do, plus I use add-ons like SponsorBlock which provide a "skip to video highlight" button as well as cutting out all of the filler content in a video.
Yes had those apart from tons of other medicine. I was so paranoid about hand hygiene that in 3 months mostly eating in dirtiest cheapest dhabas I didn't get a single stomach infection. Sight of a couple with hand sanitizing gels 12 years before covid. Second 3-month stint I got one in Rishikesh, 24h of pure hell.
This was Orange County, California. I bought it from a guy in his garage, who bought cheap parts from all over and assembled them, back before Michael Dell perfected that business model. Computer Shopper magazine (and similar) was already a thing and you could clip out pounds of ads for such tech.
They probably will, but do we have an effective way of subsidizing the up-front cost? In Maryland it cost me $16,000 to install heat pumps in our 2 story home a few years ago. Since then, the infrastructure act’s 30% subsidy has come into effect, but that has been more than eaten up by increasing costs. Contractors can just jack up the price to capture the full value of the subsidy because of the lack of licensed hvac installers. A few thousand dollars worth of made-in-China equipment turns into a $10,000 install. Do we have a way of dealing with that?
While I agree that CSS is sometimes difficult and obtuse, and getting things working in it is more of an art than a science, it's actually shockingly easy to get basic layouts working in it these days even as a total beginner. CSS is very powerful and you can learn the basics very quickly.

It's also worth keeping in mind that CSS is sometimes more complicated than it seems like it should be due to accessibility concerns and flexibility. That's why you can take some HTML produced by some part of your system and use it in completely different contexts with totally different designs, entirely as is, just by adding a few different rules.

I've been doing HTML dev since the late 90s and things were infinitely more difficult back in the old days. CSS might have been simpler, but doing complex things required tons of bizarre hacks that also made your design more frail and less accessible. These days CSS has improved to the point where you can do just about anything, and even very complicated effects can fairly easily be deconstructed just by looking at the devtools and poking around until you get it.

CSS isn't perfect, but all things considered I'm not complaining.
what is with the BS answer lol
DeepL already beat Google Translate years ago.
Not fit for any domain? It's one of the most widely used "programming languages" in the world. It's clearly fit for many domains I don't know why people have to be so dramatic with their tech opinions
You know you can do loose types in C# and many other "strongly typed" languages too?

I'd like it to save my progress with some cookie instead of having to play it all from scratch every time.
Was rather hard to tell if you're joking or not, seeing how every trivial program today wants to have Electron with it.
Yeah, it's quite weird to see such an obscure feature being proposed as a CSS standard. The demos just aren't convincing? Sure, I get the Pinterest application, but the other ones seem like a solution in search of a problem.

In the megamenu demo the multicolumn layout is pretty much indistinguishable from masonry. The only thing wrong with it is that it allows column breaks in the middle of content. That doesn't need masonry to fix it.

In the newspaper demo the multicolumn layout is actually better, because that's how newspapers work. The masonry demo becomes an unreadable mess.

The museum demo almost feels intentionally mis-designed. The CSS Grid 1 layout obviously has issues, but it could've easily been solved by pulling the nav bar out of the gallery, and using a multicolumn layout for the gallery instead.

So that leaves the Pinterest-style photo gallery. Sure, it's objectively better if you want to achieve this kind of style, but it's an outdated design with horrible UX. Why is it special enough that we need explicit support for it in the standard?

Strict launch integrity (unlike "secure boot") depends on a customer-defined root of trust. OpenCompute (OCP) Caliptra is an effort by hyperscalers to enforce a platform root of trust with OSS firmware, mandating dual signature by server OEM and hyperscaler customer. The platform RoT is responsible for validating device firmware and OS boot.

> Often we see.. great security.. compromised by other great ideas for mgmt and other things.. starts to weaken its security posture.. want to keep Caliptra very clean [via OSS firmware transparency]

Separately, AMD has promised OpenSIL open firmware by 2026, https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-openSIL-Detailed

Isolation architectures like pKVM on Android can run banking or wallet applications in a security-controlled VM, alongside arbitrary user-defined VMs. In contested environments, both security and the freedom to innovate are necessary to survive an arms race with a competent adversary.

Nonsense. CSS works. It has its quirks, but what doesn't?

What I do see here, is one of many cases of "I don't understand it therefore it is dumb because it can't be my fault".
Yeah this is old news. When i was in China last year google translate seemed to literally never work (looks of confusion trying to do basic interactions in stores). GPT-4 worked perfectly every time, I think google translate might be another soft abandoned project from google

"A person with a watch knows what time it is. A person with two watches is never sure."

Not quite. A more accurate version would be:

"A person with a watch thinks they know what time it is, but they are wrong. A person with two watches is never sure, and they are right."

AFAICT, practically nobody picks WebKit over Blink/Chromium for new projects.

The reasons why Apple still maintains their own browser engine have to do with corporate prestige and expensive insurance policy. They can afford it because Apple is literally the world’s richest corporation.

Nobody else does anymore. Even Microsoft gave up on their own browser engine despite having 97% market share two decades ago. And Mozilla is bankrolled by Google as their own kind of insurance policy.

How large are the projects you worked on? Usually type safety is more useful and appreciated in large projects, where strict interfaces between modules are more valuable. In small projects, the advantage is for the loosy-goosy, because you can move faster and anyway you have the whole thing in your head, or most of it.

There is a lot of text written and voice recorded over what type safety is good for. It's reasonable to disagree, but to "honestly don't get" what the point of it is seems kinda strange. Like you haven't really looked into it.
In theory, the theory and the practice is the same. In practice it doesn't.
Umm. Can't you just make each column a subgrid within a larger grid that has one row?

It seems like either these constructs are poorly designed, or people don't see how to use them to get what they want.
