A few food-poisonings can make one cautious about food safety...

Even though I'm pretty frugal, one measure I currently practice is to usually not touch food past the best-by/sell-by/expiration date. (Though I'll take this article into consideration, going forward.)

Since I don't like waste, unopened shelf-stable food packages go to the "free stuff" shelves in my large apartment building, where they disappear very quickly.

(Other measures included getting thermometers for fridge and freezer, stopping using sponges and brushes to wash dishes because the occasional microwaving of them might not be enough, tracking dates that some kinds of food were opened/started, and paying attention to packaging dents/puffiness/unsealing.)

Okay. Are you going to let the car makers self report energy cleanliness? Are you going to go do the survey?
Yeah... So looks like at least it's still an open question. I guess until we can definitively know how "knowledge" is collectively represented among the weights, it's hard to say either way. The other part of the question is how to evaluate the existence of "knowledge" in an LLM. TFA suggests a way, but still not 100% convinced that's THE way...
>Well I hope they're better than the Russian attack helicopters. They lasted ... I want to say about 3 weeks.

NATO forces are very, very good at combined arms actions in conventional wars. Assets aren't used unless there's a fairly high assurance of surviving and accomplishing the mission.

>What's the plan, btw ...

Western military planners have been watching the Ukraine conflict closely and are aware of the threat that cheap commercial drones pose, seeing as they're partly responsible for the phenomenon.

>meaning, drone communications can be disrupted at 5 meters, which means the drone explodes 10 cm from your ass as opposed to directly in your face)

The US in particular excels at dominating the EM spectrum. I wouldn't be surprised if enemy drones wholesale fall out of the sky en masse or are otherwise rendered totally ineffective.

The Director and Director of Photography would immediately reposition them. It would look very awkward.

What does happen often is impactful news will be delivered causing the foreground actor to turn to camera and contemplate as they rack focus from the background actor to the foreground. See also, a door slamming or an event happening just off camera.

Tesla is doing the right thing. Lots of companies still post even when they are not hiring or have freezes, wasting peoples time.
Cool! That means if it stays stable, it's headed our way on a very clear evening here. Fingers crossed...
Coming back to this I just wanna make an accurate comparison here

As an example: my user journey when starting my drive to the office in the morning is a 2 step process: (1) find phone, or hope it hasn't run out of battery while you were wherever (2) open door (3) sit down (4) close door and (5) put in drive and (6) drive because it's not actually self-driving despite the name.

Especially in the winter that used to be 10+ steps for an ICE car: don't find key because it's on the keyring I used to lock the house; unlock car while you're walking to it so it doesn't make any difference; (1) open door; (2) sit down; don't adjust seat because plenty of ICE cars have had automatic seat adjustment for decades, this isn't even remotely close to an innovation, I used to have a 1996 with this feature, and it could even be linked to the keypad code you used or the keyfob you used; (3) close door; (4) press button to start engine; automatic defrosters also exist; remote start also exists; (5) put in drive and (6) drive

It's almost like either way the process is literally "get key, get in, and drive away" because a car is a car... The key being your phone doesn't actually change anything.
Thanks! I have a small chance of seeing something lol
Some ultra-conservative groups have >80%, even >90% youth retention – such as Older Order Amish and ultra-Orthodox Jews. Jehovah's Witnesses youth retention is a lot lower – I've heard claims it is less than 50%, that on average more leave than say.

Plausibly, being much closer to mainstream culture makes it much easier for people brought up JW to leave, whereas people raised in communities where English isn't even their first language, find that much harder.

So you're nitpicking it for being too strong of a statement and too weak of a statement at the same time?

How about this, they can't do the thing NP stands for. They can't run a generic polynomial-time algorithm in a nondeterministically-branching way, and then pick the winner.
It seems like few shot prompting and providing some examples to LLMs with large context windows vastly out performs any amount of rag, or fine tuning.

Aren't rag and fine tuning fundamentally flawed, because they only play at the surface of the model? Like sprinkles on the top of the cake, expecting them to completely change the flavor. I know LoRA is supposed to appropriately weight the data, but the results say that's not the solution.

Also anecdotal, but way less work!
I admired Welles back when I thought the famous Paul Masson shoot was him with no more fucks to give.

Now that I understand he was under the influence of a sleeping pill, slept it off, and finished the shoot perfectly in the most friendly and professional manner possible, I admire him even more.

He butted heads with suits all the time, as he did with the agency personnel, but with ordinary people like the cast and crew of this shoot he was always the most affable gentleman. Towards the end of his life he said "I want to be remembered as a good guy, not a difficult genius." And man, he lived up to that.
Interesting considering only one percent of StarLink’s constellation capacity would be needed for StarLink to provide the service intentionally, and constellation signals can also be used opportunistically.

> a company of Apple’s size and reach symbolically destroying an entire room full of creative objects while selling to people who are deeply invested in those objects in their own lives.

Is it the symbolism that's the is the issue or what's actually been happening for the past 40 years? There's a reason it is called "Garage Band". There's a reason it is called "Paint". Apple isn't investing in the camera tech for the past 15 years so people don't use it. Their ads showing the incredible non-retouched photos with iPhones seems like much more of an attack than this ad.

Found some information on the actual notation for the book. The extra () fit the notation of the system from Gensler's book apparently. There doesn't appear to be a precedence order for the connectives, except that unary not (~) doesn't need the parens, ~P and P can both standalone.

The language he uses requires the extra parentheses whenever using any of v, ^, ->, or == (and, or, implication, equivalence/iff). This is probably a reasonable thing in context because it means the expressions can be cleanly combined as written and probably avoids confusion for students. They don't have to learn a precedence order.

So if a student ever arrives at these pair of statements:

(P v Q)
R

And they use and introduction they'll get:

((P v Q) ^ R)

No ambiguity, just combine the two as written and wrap in parens.

So I'll retract my previous feedback.
> At the same time, she clearly didn’t exercise good discretion with who she shared this story with.

This is a bizarre conclusion, because it's not like she shared some confidential or sensitive information. It's just a story about a minor error.

I have no idea if this is an incident that should have been reported. If so, that's a compounding error. If not, who cares? Good safety culture welcomes scrutiny, surely.

I feel I need to report my experience from Denmark, Jutland.

It started with white broad streaks, which most of all looked like fog, but then perhaps after 10 minutes or so, we saw colors of red, purple and green begin to emerge from the these streaks. Most astoundingly it all seemed to emanate from a fluctuating point in the middle of the sky. If you looked closely at this point you could see it fall into itself, morphing and shifting continuously.

We went around the house and we could purple streaks at the top and orange to red patches at the bottom of the sky.

Colors observed:
Whitish blue,
Green,
Purple,
Red,
and Orange

An absolutely a beautiful experience.
You're right to an extent, but personal use electric vehicles are still a step in the right direction. Even if all the power generated for them comes from coal, which is another argument people make against them. I would wager that EV buyers are more willing to look at smaller electric vehicles like ebikes and scooters as compared to the average person.

If all our vehicles were electric, it would be much simpler to transition to greener methods of electricity production. ICE vehicles don't have this kind of flexibility.
Those are close to the places in Europe where they are growing triffids?
If one just concentrates solar energy that would have hit other parts of the Earth, I don’t see why there would be a net heating.

That said, large scale concentration could still be extremely distributive on a regional scale.
Scotland, 56 degrees north. I expected to see the aurora near the northern horizon, but it was visible east, west and even south, from 11:00pm (2200hrs UTC) until 12:15am (2315UTC). Easily visible to the naked eye. Took good photos on 1 second exposures, ISO 2500.

@andrewp123 cool blog post, tried the experiment like this (the result - 0 is kinda of anticlimactic):

Statement: I will make a minimal BTC transfer today, May 11. 2024, as near noon UTC+2 if the outcome is 1/true.

Result:
[ { "0": 0.5140027374683648, "1": 0.4859972625316353 } ]
So now we have(will) also split the bitcoin hash forever in more than 2 different branches (I guess way more than 2).

Each layer of framework or abstraction you add, actually tends to make the complexity go up, as it includes so much crap you'll never use but gets in the way of the stuff you will use. And now when something goes wrong not only do you need to understand the programming language, and your own code, but also all the code in the paths you use through this framework, which can easily be 10-20 functions deep (hi facades), and is extremely rarely documented with enough specificity to understand what happens in various corner cases.

A couple of years ago in the middle of Norway (not south, not north, in-between) me and a friend saw in the news that there would be aurora borealis, which is not common in that part of Norway.

We were outside at like 2AM in the night that day trying to spot it but could see any hint of it for the life of us.

Finally we used his phone and long exposure to see what it would pick up and on the captured photo we saw shades of green like aurora borealis.

Quite fascinating, it was.

I'm not clear on why anyone would build a USB to serial to parallel port chain.
That's just asking for flow control and clocking problems.
You can get USB to parallel port converters.

I've built USB to 60ma 120VDC 45 baud serial, to drive antique Teletype machines.[1] Unfortunately, the last USB to serial chip which can go that slow, the CP2102, is approaching end of life.[2] The CP2102N, the new part, can't go that slow.

Library/namespace is so low level as to be obvious. Breaking up code by internal boundaries is fairly well-explored territory - every language gives you a way to modularize. Clojure namespaces aren't unique here, though functional programming with immutable data makes it WAY easier to do so, it's not improssible in other languages..

The barriers to finishing most projects are the "final mile" - taking it to production. So in general I agree - package from the beginning.

I advocate for making that the first mile. If you think you might need tests, a website, a library, and a mobile app - set up CI, a VPS with an IPv4 address, and apply for a dev account on CentralizedLangRepo and ProprietaryAppPlatform from day 1. Make it a habit to release early and often. That's the only way to earn the muscle memory for rapid iteration in any language.

With the NACS roll out though its clear the SuperCharger network can no longer be thought of as a Tesla only thing though, and something would probably have had to change regardless. Tesla obviously aren't going to be interested in running the service on behalf of the entire car industry - the profits are meagre and its ultimately just a utility like a gas pump. I think this is an inevitable consequence of progress; Tesla had to build the SuperCharger network back in early 2010s - today it can direct the rest of the industry to continue the task.

My guess is we shall shortly see establishment of a new body to manage, pay and extend the SuperCharger network, but as a neutral body acting on behalf of all car makers. Similarly, its no longer just Tesla who have a monopoly on SuperCharger sites - other companies can now build NACS fast chargers such as Electrify America etc:

> https://media.electrifyamerica.com/en-us/releases/223

Will this be as good as the original network's reliable hardware? Probably not in some places! But just as we don't expect Ford to own every single gas pump, every NACS site being owned and operated by Tesla was probably a non-starter too, especially now its going to be virtually universal across the US EV landscape.

That's definitely my experience as well, sufficiently large context window with a capable enough general purpose LLM solves lots if not all of the problems rag/fine tuning claim to solve.

The flux is roughly (but more than) 100 petawatts.

I wouldn't even say a common goal. There's plenty of opinions on what the ideal Earth's climate would be like. Some people strive for what they view as "natural", vs other people who aim to reduce natural disasters, and yet even more who just think we should be reducing our impact in general.
Respectfully, is this really demonstrating the track record of that site or the track record of stories questioning the prevailing narrative about Covid on HN? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the flagged posts except for the fact that the HN community has chosen to remove them.
No, I think it's pretty well connected to real world software development. Most software developers these days, especially in web, tend to be more of "copy the stuff I've seen in tutorials before or find a library that does it" rather than "understand how the stuff I'm copying works and adapt it"

Super is the "Windows" key (or the Command key), it's the "mod key" that can then be set to super or alt/meta or whatever.

For the reasons you suggest (WMs often heavily using the super key), I would not want it to be used in the macOS way as I have a few dozen keybinds I'd lose or have to remap then. Stuff like focusing or moving windows or workspaces. Emacs can also make use of the super key, though I don't know if it has anything bound using it by default.

The macOS approach is cool and makes some sense, but I wouldn't want it forced on me, and I'm kinda glad I didn't imprint on it.
It's totally cool. It's not a product yet, it's a one-person project so far. I'm not asking anyone for any money. I expect one day that it will be a product.

It's still an alpha (see the highlighted note towards the top of the readme). There are features I intend to ship in 1.0 that aren't even started.

And even if all goes as well as possible, it won't ship 1.0 until 2026 at the earliest, which means early adopters, and mass adoption not until 2027 or 2028.

If you're going after something as big as Git, it takes time. It would be irresponsible to not think about where computing will be in a few years vs. today as I work on it.
Horrid PR for Debian. The decision is ignorant and capricious and makes Debian seem like a personal toy project instead of a FOSS cornerstone. On top of that the Debian maintainer then responds by calling upstream "crappy".
lots of debian packages are compiled without some compile flags that enable optional functionality; emacs, for example, comes in emacs-nox, emacs-gtk, and emacs-lucid, the last two of which use two different x-windows toolkits to give emacs a gui. (it's nice to not have to install a gui environment in order to have a text editor, see.) vim similarly has vim-tiny, vim-nox, vim-motif, and vim-gtk3 versions

in this case it seems like the debian maintainer moved optional functionality that was opening security holes to the keepassxc-full package, and the keepassxc maintainers are lying about it by saying that he has 'decided to remove ALL features from it'

in https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10725 the debian maintainer explains:

> It is our responsibility to our users to provide them the most secure option possible as the default. All of these features are superfluous and do not really belong in a local password database manager, these developments are all utterly misguided.

> Users who need this crap can install the crappy version but obviously this increases the risk of drive-by contributor attacks.

and yeah i really, really do not want my password manager to by default communicate with random web pages. that should be opt-in functionality and always should have been. given that it wasn't, there's no good option, but this is the least bad one

one of the great benefits of free software is that it makes it hard for misguided or malicious maintainers to push antifeatures on users, because the users can always use somebody else's version of the software, for example, debian's or f-droid's. trusting debian to prevent shenanigans like the keepassxc team's is my biggest reason for using debian instead of something else

A character in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle encrypts messages in (IIRC) embroidery.
It’s real and the reason is mostly money.

A 101 approach to a filming a conversation is to

1. A wide shot establishing the actors geography in the scene.

2. a medium shot of both of them facing each other.

3. A “dirty” over the shoulder shot where the foreground actors head fills a third of frame with the focus on the background actor. This is usually as the conversation heats up, and focused on the actor giving the most exposition.

4. Close up single shots of each individual actor as they talk and react to the information

5. Finally a medium or wide as the actors leave the conversation. This would have already been filmed on step 2 or 3, but edits in at the end.

Financially this make sense as you generally light for one direction before “turning around” and moving all your lights to the other side and shooting in the opposite direction. It ensures that you get the most footage without have to spend lots of time moving lights over and over. It also allows you to get your highest paid actors off the clock sooner, as you don’t need them for the dirty or single shots. Everything about making films is trying to catch magic while not spending all your money.
It sounds like the pilots and hence the unions have an intent to hide things from the FAA. What's the significance of this report existing and why do they openly promote this "etiquette"?
