Nothing? Meta is owned by an American, that person probably don't want to see America get destroyed. Other nation states however has an interest in seeing USA get destroyed, so that makes things very different.
in my [albeit outdated] experience ArrowJS is quite a bit slower than using native JS types. i feel like crossing the WASM<>JS boundary is very expensive, especially for anything other than numbers/typed arrays.

what are people's experiences with this?
You mean a generation has decided they didn't want to be exploited straight into adulthood to take on massive amounts of debt just to receive a general education, that takes 4+ years in virtually all cases just to see any eventual return on investment?

Also, if Kirby is 32, wouldn't that make them a millennial? I'm a bit younger than them, and by all accounts so far I've been considered part of the millennial age range.

This whole article seems to be a compilation of anecdotes taken in a mostly casual format. Does this really tell us anything about Gen Z that hasn't already been in the pipeline over the last two to three generations?
One thing that stands out to me is that most (all?) of the near-incidents people are worried about are aircraft are Part 135 ATP ops. GA will always be mildly dangerous, and increasingly they'll just not let you near a Class B in your clapped out 150, and that's fine. It's too expensive to retrofit the trainer fleet.

But the big guys _all_ have working ADSB/other safety equipment and have operators that would be able to add new mandatory equipment in a reasonable time period. I wonder if they could pick up the pace in terms of safety tech adoption for 135s to relieve the bottlenecking.

It's probably a fire marshall/inspector, they are usually under law enforcement, but not employed by the police. They are hired either directly by the municipality; fire department; or County/State. Since they handle fire laws; fire safety; investigations; and fines, it makes sense.

Edit: Clarity.
The only difference between AI hallucination and a regular person misremembering is that sometimes the person will communicate the fact that they're unsure. It's not like the outcome is any different either - if you blindly trust, you've got the same problem.
It roughly took 5-6 months in total over a span of 1-2 years (we paused development several times to work on client projects).
I recommend diving into Three.js (or other WebGL libraries), and learning Blender or similar to create your own 3D scenes.
Interesting. Having not looked at all yet. Wonder if the emulators out there take this fact into account.
I'm not saying any of it is impossible, just that it is costly (based on my direct experience at a number of hardware companies).

For an "IoT box" type of product there would likely be fewer issues with the certifications and swapability.

For IoT devices like light switches, bulbs, smart outlets, or anything else where the 120V/240V power is exposed vs. isolated by a power supply (as in the case of a PC or "IoT box") it would likely be too costly to do in a conformant way. Particularly when the tinkerer consumer base that would actually value this is maybe 5% of the total market.
Unless I'm misremembering, this is only true in REPL, which should be better read as "SBCL is actually sometimes *AoT-compiling in interactive REPL sessions!!!"; #'LOAD-ing files would AoT-compile them by default.
You have no choice, so no point worrying about it.
RedPajama-Data-v2: An open dataset with 30T tokens (2023)
I owned couple of those novelty keyboards and ultimately forfeited all of them for the weird reason: latency. I didn't know it was latency at first. It just like keyboard is faulty, it's losing keys, or producing more than it should.

But then I stumbled upon (I believe) article about keyboard latency[1] and it all started to make sense. I switched to native keyboards and never looked back.

In case you're wondering what's my typing speed - I was wondering too and finished some random web based typing test which told me I'm peaking at 160WPM.

Exactly this. Facebook makes money by network effects. They are incentivized to grow network engagement, more than they are to make direct money off new network members.
A map with arrival times is all that is needed, this is great. Routing also doesn't need to be fancy, departures can be locked to actual stations and the transfer station is the only bit of info needed if it's not already a one-train trip. People who use buses generally know their own feeder lines and that's it, and they don't need to see them again.

This is great.

I think it depends on what you mean by "hackers". In the traditional definition, there are a good number here, but they are far from the majority and aren't really the demographic that HN courts.
Are you replying to the correct comment btw?

In the comment you're replying to (mine), I literally wrote:

> YouTube embeds are a different story, that is an official YouTube feature which allows folks to embed a YouTube video on a 3rd party website. I have no problem with that. YouTube even allows creators to enable or disable that on a per video basis. I keep it enabled because it's useful and promotes sharing of the original content as it was delivered.

In your comment you've written things like "Furthermore, the YouTube creator can choose to not let their video be embedded if they wanted that." which implies you haven't read the comment I wrote because I mentioned that. I'm also not in disagreement that embedding is generally useful and I support it fully.

That makes me think you might have replied to the wrong person?

Almost every fire marshall is a licensed peace officer (e.g. arrest power).

I live near a city which only has a single police/fire department, and all officers are both policemen as well as firemen (including the police chief).
I'm a little disappointed about this probe. They are concerned that paying users points could be an addictive design, which seems like it's not, it's work, in a sense. They would not need the points if the design is addictive.

If anything they should look into the general doom scrolling design of Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok and YouTube Shorts. All of these have addictive design patterns, without any sort of payoff.

Maybe TikTok Lite is just the initial probe, where they seem more certain of getting the desired outcome, as it can be massaged to piggy back on the EU ban on loot crated. If that probe is then successful, they could then more easily go after other platforms which works like TikTok Lite and then just claim that the payments is an implementation detail.

In any case I'd like to see the EU consider bans or restriction on platforms that pray on human psychology, stealing users attention for hours a day, only to attempt to push ads for questionable products. I surprises me that anyone willingly work on product like TikTok or YouTube Shorts.

I hear that narrative a lot and I think it does a major disservice to the people interested in entering the field. Are there blue-collar workers making huge sums of money? Yes. Are most blue-collar workers making huge sums of money? No.

There is also the physical toll that gets glossed over. I know tradespeople who made a lot of money until they weren't physically capable of doing the work anymore. Some were able to focus on running the business and had trained up good people to do the actual work. Others were in a really bad place.
Many people above the age of 35 hate TikTok almost entirely because young people like it, the same as (in the past) video games, rock and roll music, etc. Young people don’t vote at the rate older people do, and they won’t in this election in particular.
I offer up 40 years of my life as a counter example. Maybe it's a bit city thing, idk, but this is not the norm where I'm from. You get the bill, put your card in it, they take it and run it, bring it back, and you sign the receipt.

I also pay for Clear, and basically echo your take. My home airport has a separate like for Clear + Precheck, and basically only frequent travelers have both, so even though the line is sometimes longer it moves much faster. It's worth it for me to eliminate the variance of a first-time traveler who got randomed to precheck being slow.
As a frequent traveler (80 flights alone last year), I feel like this bill is rather useless.

First, Clear is not present at all airports. Sometimes it's not even available at all terminals of the same airport (see JFK terminal 7 2 years ago) https://www.clearme.com/where-to-use-clear

Secondly, Clear lines clear (heh) much slower than the TSA-pre lines. EWR is a great example of this.

Lastly, TSA-Pre is going to eat Clear's lunch with their new programs:

The Try Block in Rust
i think duckdb-wasm is closer to 6MB over wire, but ~36MB once decompressed. (see net panel when loading https://shell.duckdb.org/)

the decompressed size should be okay since it's not the same as parsing and JITing 36MB of JS.
I looked at it seriously for content authoring but gave it up.

The big problem is you cannot import images, textures, 3-d models and such from ordinary tools. You have something like constructive solid geometry to work with but only so much and there is a slider you can use to set the number of players and the more players the less geometry you can use.

I want to make worlds based on photographs (particularly pano and stereo) and art. McDonalds needs to put a Coca-Cola logo on the side of the cup. Either way it is a non-starter.

HW supports collaboration (more than one person shares the world) but https://aframe.io/ lets me make the content I want. If I have to choose one or the other I am going to pick the second.

My take on Meta Quest is that it seems highly successful as a gaming environment based on an app store but is skews towards single-player experiences. Like a lot of AAA games, the excellent Asgard’s Wrath 2 has some multiplayer tacked on but it is all meaningless like leaderboards and the occasional ghost that shows up in a procedurally generated dungeon.

Of course, Meta wants to make multiplayer experiences but somehow they just can’t do it.
Which is ironic, given that it modifies the customer's actual voice when interpreting the numbers in such a toxic way. I point to the cousin comment where a salesman lost a $10k bonus because a customer didn't give them a 10, despite the customer's comment being very explicit that they were extremely happy with the experience, but that they refused to rate anything perfectly, as they reserved that for God. Despite that comment, the 9 was used as justification to deny the bonus, effectively also denying the customer's voice.

The large corporations I've worked for also scored you on "leadership" at the end of the year. This score usually contributes to your bonus and annual pay raise. It is hard to get a high leadership score if you don't have some formal subordinates, so this is another reason people are always looking to get someone working under them, even if they aren't ready for it or maybe don't even need it.
The Journey of John Carter and His Billion-Dollar AI Empire
I've been a software engineer for 20 years now.

Based on the rates charged and the difficulty even finding an available plumber, I'm pretty sure an experienced plumber makes a better living than me.

Also, plumbers/electricians/etc. have been able to raise rates with inflation over the last couple of years, whereas I'm making the same salary I was getting back in 2021 (so effectively, my labor is worth less than it was 3 years ago w/ inflation).
I suspect this will split the company in two. A old crowd, that informally sticks to the old world in new teams and a new career crowd that really startups and then get sabotaged or winning team joined by the old crowd. Bayer better hides tho
And to provide a concrete example: Rage Against The Machine demanded that Rush Limbaugh stop using their music on air. Because those performances were not licensed, they qualified as an illegal performance of the work.

A new OS will be interesting ONLY if Meta commits to certain policies that Microsoft and Apple have violated. Users should be able to use their devices without any telemetry or phoning home.

This is where your comment went off the rails. Is it possible the author simply disagrees with you? Or is the future of AI so clear that the only reason a person could disagree is because they're driving engagement?
>What would be the equivalent of searching for quotes in your first (PNG) example?

I don't have a general answer to that. It depends on the specifics of the application. In many cases the documents I'm interested in will have some overlap with structured data I have stored in a database. In the concrete example there could be a register of practicing physicians that could be used for cross referencing. But in other cases I think it's an unsolved problem that may never be solved completely.

>Switching to text source, what would you do if say 30% of the quotes do not match with CTR-F?

That's what I meant by swapping false positives for false negatives. You could simply throw out all the items for which you can't find the quote (which can obviously be done automatically). The remaining items are now "fact checked" to some degree. But the number of false negatives will probably have increased because not all the quotes without matches will be hallucinations.

Another approach would be to send the query separately to multiple different models or to ask one model to check another model's claims.

I think what works and what is good enough is highly application specific.

> Commenting on the Commission’s enforcement action in a statement, Thierry Breton, the commissioner for the EU Internal Market, wrote: “… We suspect TikTok ‘Lite’ could be as toxic and addictive as cigarettes ‘light’. Unless TikTok provides compelling proof of its safety, which it has failed to do until now, we stand ready to trigger DSA interim measures including the suspension of TikTok Lite feature which we suspect could generate addiction. We will spare no effort to protect our children.”

can someone please think of the children?

a bit more seriously:

1. are there any studies into the harms of cigarettes vs harms of tiktok lite/social media?

2. does the DSA’s “risk assessment” cover risks to EU users only or EU businesses as well?

3. are there any steps taken to make sure we won’t have politicians abuse the DSA to target unfriendly companies? specifically forbidding of micro managing various features and products by the politicians of the day? or is the DSA exactly this?
Yeah this isn't the right game, but is much closer to a full game based on that idea than among us.
Title is a bit confusing given that La Niña tends to lead to lower temperatures. The article does clarify things a bit

Lets take pending orders and paid for orders as an example.

For both, there is a function to remove an order-line that looks the same. Many people would be tempted at that point, to abstract over pending and paid orders to have both reference the same function, via adding a base class of order, for example, because the code looks the same.

But for a pending order, it means removing an item from the basket, while for the paid for order, it means removing an item due to unavailability. So the code means different things.

Lets then take the system to have evolved further, where now on the paid for order some additional logic should be kicked off when an item is removed. If both pending and paid for orders reference the same function, you have to add conditionals or something, while if each has its own, they can evolve independantly.

And it definitely is disagreement with the parent comment. Sorry to have not elaborated on it in the first place.
Right, if you're ordering individual cells/packs and DIYing something you are taking some responsibility for that.
