Depends on how long he has to live and set things up to work around it, but Oregon has an up to 16% estate tax + federal estate tax of up to 40%. Kicks in after 16 million or so.
The parent said "displayed correctly", not "encoded".

For example, if I want to talk about the fairly rare japanese name '刃一' (jinichi), there's a chance your computer displays it correctly, but there's also a chance your computer displays the chinese variant of the first character, making it look wrong. It's basically up to font-choice of your computer.

The "correct" way to fix that would be for me to be able to tag it with 'lang=ja', but Hacker News doesn't let me include html tags or some other 'language selector' in my comment, so I'm unable to indicate whether that's supposed to be the chinese or japanese variant of the character.

Most unicode text files don't have extra metadata indicating if a certain bit of text is japanese or chinese, so displaying it correctly by adding the correct 'lang' tag is impossible, especially since it's perfectly possible for one utf-8 text to mix both chinese and japanese.

Did you write the replika stuff? I'm currently chewing through the two parter and its an enjoyable read. It seems like there is quite a lot of interesting content on that site and I'm extremely happy it has presented itself to me. If not, which articles did you write? I want to read them.
How about starting with getting rid of all the bloated web-based crap...

I'm strongly against inefficient software for different reasons, but if stuff like this can have an effect beyond the virtue-signaling bureaucracy it's likely to become instead, maybe it's a good thing.
Llama 3 just came out so they couldn't have used it, and Claude Haiku is the smallest cheapest closed source model out there from what I've seen.

I thought the “giant sucking sound” of Perot was referring to good manufacturing jobs which would leave under NAFTA. And didn’t that come true to some extent?
> Even if you said you’d pay them one billion dollars to fix it, they’d absolutely be unable to.

Unless you want it fixed immediately, then a million dollars should motivate almost any developer to spend a month learning, a month doing, and a few years on vacation. A billion is incomprehensible.
that's the easy thing to do (and i'd bet most of those were false positive from impoverish countries trying honest apps).

the problem is OEM/telco installing facebook and ad-ridden games in the middle of the night on million of phones every week. Or whatsapp (defacto messaging worldwide) scanning your contact list for changes and fetching list of recently used apps every minute and sending to their servers. you will never see google talking about those two things.
That may be, but the awkward method used by this initiative says that PPAs don't count, so if you literally spin off a subsidiary to build a solar array for your new datacenter, and use a PPA to buy all of its output, that doesn't matter and you are supposed to use the regional grid carbon intensity. It is hard to imagine why anyone would adopt that method.
That's fine. Then show me controlled studies on bacon being bad. I have no problem with that. That's what science should be.

Don't lump bacon in with "processed foods" like all that sugary crap.
These are not bit vectors, but float64. I could probably convert to float32 to cut down the ram. This is a one time job, so no changes.

My initial attempt has been using the scikit-learn cosine similarity function[0] which lets you take a query matrix against a target one. The actual calculation is pretty fast and seems quite optimized (at least, I can see all of my cores max out when it does the calculation). Then I iterate across the results matrix, sorting for best matches, and record best seen to date.

They showed it off to a large crowd without even testing it on site. How typical of "move fast and break things" development. Don't worry, they'll fix it eventually, but until then they look stupid and your fancy new toy is an expensive paperweight.
Exactly. "Accepting and trying" is how a lot of popular software won their market. Look at HN's favorite media player, VLC. In the past, media player software were horrible, refusing to play all but the most tightly constrained set of allowed containers/codecs. I remember spending the early 2000s trying to get Windows Media Player to play MPEGs by downloading codec packs and trying to cast secret spells into the Windows Registry. Yuck! Then along comes VLC which accepts whatever you throw at it, and that software is basically everywhere now. You can throw line noise at VLC and it will try its best to play something!
I think this was meant to be a dark comment. They only apply upon death when wealth is being passed to heirs. However, he's married, so in the unfortunate event of his death, AFAIK his wife would -not- have to pay any estate taxes.

You say that as if we can't and shouldn't do both?
No, your facts are very scrambled, you were incorrect about the 2/12/2008 vote that passed it 68-29-3, there were 14 roll-call votes on that bill, not one. Saying "Hillary did vote against the bill" is totally wrong about the 2/12/2008 vote; congress.gov says both Hillary and Obama weren't present or voted present (as did Lindsey Graham). The claim "They flew back [from campaigning] to DC to cast their Yea votes and protect AT&T from any possible accountability." was wrong. I even dug up the exact bill and the timeline of all 14 votes for you:

It's so funny that Forbes seem to mistaken Portland Oregon for Portland Maine? They quote their own article that says "Maine Winner Nabs $1.35 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot.."

I was doubting myself but the apnews article shows a video with Oregon Lottery and mentions of Salem and Oregon laws... I'm pretty sure this isn't in Maine haha
I assume that’s because he has cancer. I hope it doesn’t apply to him for many years though.

Imagine winning the lottery then dying six months later. Your heirs pay $200M for the privilege of you having that money for a few months.
Yes, because "ideas rooted in fascism or bigotry" is a vague phrase lacking any clear definition, and risks becoming a cudgel for cliques to use to shut down anyone who disagrees with them.

7 separate data centers all around the US.

12 GPU/host. 130,000 of that kind. ~10,833 hosts.

The ASRock BC-250's we deployed were 12 individual blades and those were all PXE booted. We deployed 20,000 of those blades across 2 data centers. This was a massive feat of engineering, especially during covid where I couldn't even access the machine directly. Built a whole dashboard to monitor it all too.

I know, I can't believe we did it either, but we did. Software automation was king. I built a single binary that ran on each individual host and knew how to self configure / optimize everything. Idempotently. Even distributing upgrades to the binary was a neat challenge that I solved perfectly, in very creative ways.

Today, we are starting much smaller. Literally from zero/scratch. Given the cost of MI300x, I doubt we will ever get to 150k GPUs, that's an absurd amount of money, but who knows.
Well, I assumed the 100K dash shell also was dynamically linked (presumably to libc and the linker loader). But yes, you're right, I wasn't including all the DLLs and all the various modules/scripts you can invoke. from my inspection, it looks like DLLs that are probably already loaded just by booting a system.
It's the same under "real" DOS. The code from Github doesn't build without fixing the line endings and encoding.

What seems to have happened, is that at some point they opened it as UTF-8 in an editor, which replaced some Cp437 box drawing characters with U+FFFD (encoded as the byte sequence EF BF BD). You can replace these with any single byte and it will build, but making the comments and some TUI stuff look correct requires more editing.
The situation of correcting someone else's English is socially awkward, not least because the person doing the correcting usually gets it slightly wrong themselves. It's much better, in my opinion, if corrections are something that's done in private by editors (and if it's oral and thus can't be edited, I'm... nonplussed by the possibility of mistakes). However, even somewhat reputable publications in the Anglosphere rarely have that kind of rigour in their editing, so I think we're doomed to an accelerated level of change in the English language. At least that gives us linguistics enthusiasts more to talk about :)

Why so many men in the US have stopped working
There are plenty of ways the wealthy can avoid or reduce estate taxes -- giving most of it to charity is one unselfish way. The problem with lottery winners, as someone else has mentioned, is that they're often easy prey for grifters, so they're going to have to try to be as anonymous as possible when finding help.
Isn't rule number 1 of lottery winning like ... keep a low profile, and don't speak to any reporters? Or are these names always publicly announced anyway?
Would you trust an LLM with that question though? I know I wouldn't.
This looks really cool, definitely going to check it out. I'm very familiar with infracost and this seems to fill out that general idea of a cost analysis tool even more.

But who did the wiring? Even with blades which consolidate much of the cabling, there's still a tremendous amount of work to build the interconnect. On typical large systems I've seen a small team 3-5 guys working weeks+ to wire a modest DC.
I mean, you want a classically beautiful field right. So use the Golden Ratio.

Of the English Premier League fields Brentford is pretty close:
105/1.618 = 64.89; close enough to their 105x65m field.

Honestly I'd settle on a 100m length though. Thus a 100x61.8 field.
It depends on the domain. If you are writing calendar software, it is legitimate to have "floating time" i.e. your medication reminder is at 7pm every day, regardless of time zone, travel, or anything else.

Unfortunately Google and many other companies have decided UTC is the only way, so this causes issues with ICS files that use that format sometimes when they are generating their helpful popups in the GMail inbox.

Absolutely wonderful book. The 30 grams of cornflakes vs oats is so weird, but when you think about it, yes, I would eat WAY more cornflakes and milk than I eat oats and milk.
Trans fats were the worst. I don't quite fall into thinking seed oils are terrible, but I do suspect a lot of damage lingering from wide use of trans fats.

I'm probably more thinking on how folks were told to avoid fats at all costs. And I do think that has changed for a time now. Though I still know folks that avoid things we were told were bad years ago. Bacon and eggs being easy examples. Butter, too.

I'm not clear on sugar substitutes. Would help if I knew more people that used them without being severely unhealthy.
As long as you can answer a (long) series of "do you prefer A or B" questions, you can totally rank 82 people.
It was, and he was right, in the end, yes.
At the airports I've done this, they are separate checkpoints. e.g departing Australia for the US:
1. check in with the airline using your US passport. If it is the return leg of a flight from the US, you probably put in your Australian passport details when booking so you may need to go through an agent.
2. go through Australian border control checkpoint, and show your Australian passport
3. board the plane showing your US passport if asked for ID.
It's really not that difficult to define, but like most things there's degrees to what it is considered processed.

This is why there are now frameworks in place like the NOVA classification system to try break down and develop a degree to which something is considered processed.
And it's usually worse, we have 10 million files coming from sources neither we nor our users control.

Or "what do you mean ask them, they barely know what a jpeg is?!"
Yes, he was, and they did, just not so much to Mexico as China.
They're announced publicly. It's very difficult depending on the state you're in to be completely anonymous as a winner of the lottery.
I agree, all 3 were great viable answers to my question. But Claude and GPT-4 felt a lot more like a regurgitation of the same suggestions people have proposed for years (ie, their training material). The GPT2, while similar felt more like it tried to approach the question from first principals. IE, it laid out a set of root causes, and reasoned a solution from there, which was subtly my primary ask.
This is literally a plotline in the "the wire".

There are so many links in that chain that need to line up, from the manufacturer keeping track of it to the distribution system to keep track of what batch goes where to the vendor keeping track of what phone IMEI is sold when or to who. Even if all those link up you need to get at the video within the rotation time for their video storage or link to their financial transaction data.

I would not be surprised if it is still as easy to evade as shown in the show (and as easy to get wrong).
> I was amazed by how fast he found that bug in code he had never seen before. I'm not sure if he read carefully through the original paper or came up with the clever debug strategy of "since this is a port, let's compare to the original, looking for typos, with a particular focus on the loops".

The latter is exactly what I would have done. If the algorithm did not match the expected complexity, the most likely reason is a bug in the implementation, and the quickest way to find that bug is to compare it with a known-good implementation, such as the one that the code was ported from.
According to Wikipedia's summary of the situation, the French are to blame for the ambiguity - no surprises there! ;) But if we're going to avoid Americanisms, the better way is simply to use the word 'milliard', which makes perfect, unambiguous sense in any language.
It's not sugar perse. It's the fact that you have companies cooking for you vs your grandma. Yes, your grandma's cookies had sugar, but it didn't have the other 10 ingredients that are basically pre-digested, making that cookie from the store to be EXTREMELY palatable.
This is awesome. Nice one!

This is pretty interesting to me. The pattern is similar to what's happening between Mexico and the US: A lot of people emmigrated from Spain(Mexico) in the past , looking for better jobs and pay (I remember seeing plenty of Spaniards working in Scotland hostels when I traveled there). The locals (Britons/Americans) revolted against said immigration with the justification of lost jobs, and reduction of wages.

Now the roles inverted somehow: Spaniards/Mexicans don't like people immigrating to THEIR country. Even if they do it legally and inject money to the local economy. Mainly because they are making the cost of living higher than what the locals can afford.

I personally don't care people coming to gentrify Mexico. Globalization cuts both ways, and.

How does an 11-year solar cycle explain decades of observed global warming?
Yeah, that could be an interesting use of LLMs. It could at least tell you which languages might be present in the input text.

In the 1980s, we had a version of 7-bit ASCII in Sweden where the three extra Swedish vowels "åäö" were represented by "{}|".

So what might look like regular US 7-bit ASCII should be interpreted as the Swedish version if the text is in Swedish with "{}|" where "åäö" normally goes.

kind of an interesting thought along the lines of karma in the pooling of public payments into a fund that comes out the other end funding experimental medical procedures for a very willing volunteer. A wild route to for ethical research but works for us all I suppose.
As the article mentions, Oregon requires the names of lottery winners to be made public. Most states have laws like this so that it's harder to quietly rig the lottery to go to friends of yours every time.

Of course. The solution to every Linux "problem" is, of fucking course, to have the PID1 spread is tentacles to yet more part of Linux.

Every single problem can be solved by giving yet more power to PID1... Except the problem of PID1 having too much power.
Google is the new Yahoo and sliding into irrelevance. Layoffs like this cut the core engineering functions of a company.

It's more for pwsh (7+) as that bundles it's own copy of the .NET runtime. The powershell.exe (5.1) is the version included in Windows and uses a shared copy of the .NET Framework included in the GAC. When looking at the size of modern PowerShell (7+) you do need to take into consideration the size of the .NET runtime which is quite sizeable. Personally it's not a problem for me and while I don't agree it's a fatal flaw it's certainly a downside compared to other shells.
Isn’t this still actually wormable to some degree? Just among system you have access too. But imagine if any of those at all are shared…

The vegan-funded research (that gets published) always finds that a "plant-based diet" is healthier.

Check out the Stanford twin study. Check out the rebuttals. Nina Teicholz is a good place to start for that. (Obviously you don't have to take my word for it, or hers, but if you're motivated, you can watch the entire process - the vegans, the headline, the data, the rebuttal.)
Nobody publishes statistics on this directly but we know that in recent years that the number of border crossers that have to be rescued from dehydration and heat exhaustion is in the hundreds per week.

Given that AST's towers/software identify objects of interest to CBP, it's probably safe to assume that number is high.
> Before you jump to "bonkers" maybe give the people you reply to some credit- I'm an amateur astronomer with facts at his disposal.

As am I, and any time I use an eye piece, it is nothing but b&w for DSOs even for something as bright as Orion's Nebula. The spirit of the conversation is if people can see the true color the way images from large telescopes posted in articles like this. They cannot. You take the reaction from the average person that has only seen processed images after looking through a telescope for the first time, and they will almost always have a bit of disappointment in their voice. I have taken my scope to rooftop bars and let patrons look through at whatever can be seen at the time. I have yet to do this and not meet someone that's never looked through a telescope with their own eyes--which is the point of my effort.

> This wasn't what your parent comment claimed

I was responding to your comment, not my own parent comment. You used the word “privacy”. TikTok is clearly worse on privacy, and the link I shared is an example of that.

> I guess then you can speculate and make wild claim you want about it then - why stop there?

If your argument is nothing should be done because a company controlled by an adversarial government is hard to examine, then that’s not very convincing. Like I said, with what evidence is possible to collect, it shows that TikTok is highly skewed in an artificial and likely malicious way.

What's the most amazing is that with such a confiscatory scheme in place, the monkeys at the helm still managed to create 130% public debt and are concerned that they cannot sustain the debt payments anymore.

I'm wondering what uses more memory: the "buggy and bloated", but written in assembly language MS-DOS 4.0, or FreeDOS, which is almost 100% in C?

To make it a fair comparison, you would have to load FreeDOS in conventional memory (DOS=LOW) too, since 4.0 doesn't support anything else I think.
