But the U.S. is spreading propaganda endlessly just like China. Remember, Germany is a real democracy with freedom of speech and press freedom.
I like that "probably" for perfomant here, but let's focus on features so far.

Let's imagine we go this way, implemented own self made webserver in nodejs, started using it and the next day it will be required to add simple things like basic auth for specific location or ACL based on Maxmind geo data or even setting straightforward round-robin balancing among several php-fpm upstream, even without weights - what would be the flow here? Involving dev team and trying to put those tasks into their backlog?

Why it's better than just adjust Nginx config in 5-10 minutes?
Why give the possibility to the user of deleting a customer, in that situation? Having orders pointing to inexistant customers sounds rough.
Where do you draw the line? RAW, HDR, photo stitching, blur removal?
Since there are state actors attemting to sow public disorder in the U.S. it seems increasingly like a bad idea to have hosptital networks and the like on public networks accessible from around the globe.
The answer is usually "whatever the team/developer is most comfortable working with".
Probably the cost of a gadget that detects the extra d.c. and injects and equal and opposite current to null it out, for every major power transformer in the land.
Historically two things happened in the US to make public colleges affordable. The first the State paid a much larger chunk of the tuition than they do now. The second is they had higher standards for attendance than they do now. Those who were good enough go into college. Those who weren’t paid for the their betters’ education.
> proposes

The whole wire text uses Western world notions and suggest some democratic process to be performed. While it works differently there.

I am not saying Putin can do whatever he wants. Probably there is some process to be performed too (satisfying the stakeholders), but not the one visible on the surface.

TLDR: masquerade
True, they lost both times.

Im no expert on ww1, so i can't comment there, but the German army of ww2 was (by far) the most well trained, and effective, fighting force of the war.

Yes, their politics were terrible, and the leadership at times questionable, and losing is never going to win accolades, but the reasons for losing had nothing to do with skill, ability, or execution.

They had world-leading technology and arms, well respected general officers, and a battle tested force that occupied all of Europe (and came within a whisker of invading the UK). But for the fairly obvious strategic error of invading the Soviet Union, the outcomes may have been very different.
As I remember it, it wasn't like this in the period before 2000-2003. The 2000 US Presidential election was very acrimonious; I think that died down because 9/11 was a unifying threat; then controversies about the war in Iraq and WMDs etc. reignited it. And this is also when the Internet became relevant to the public discourse and I think Internet social dynamics fanned a lot of the flames.
Nonsense. A healthy person in a healthy society desires to be valued by their peers above everything else. Only in the absence of this belonging does one pursue the antisocial behaviors you describe. Capitalism is barbarism.
Am I right in surmising that these are single-use batteries?
The problem is that if you call another function, you won't know whether that function is uses any instructions that require alignment. So in practice, only leaf functions can skip stack alignment. The ABI states that the stack pointer must be aligned to a multiple of 16, plus 8, before any `call` instruction.
> After the 2014 annexation of Krimea, Ukraine could have chosen to "appease" Russia, but it didn't.

It literally did. Zelenski was considered the appeasement president and he tried to appease russia at the start of his term by starting the talks on some long-term settlement about which territory belongs to whom.

Putin responded by another invasion as soon as pandemic ended.

Russia does not want Ukraine to lose some territory and enter EU and NATO. It wants Ukraine to be kept in eternal war that thaws and is frozen as needed, so Ukraine cannot enter EU nor NATO forever.

The problem from Russian POV is that Ukraine is considered "Russia but more provincial", and if Ukraine has wealthy, democratic state - Russians will ask "why can't we?". Hence for Putin and the rest of russian elites - Ukraine can't enter EU.

The solution isn't to let Russia dictate what other countries can and cannot do. The solution is to stop Russia once and for all. Each next war will be more expansive in lives and money.

If you let Russia conquer Ukraine - you will have Russia with 30 million more people, all the soldiers that Ukraine trained, all the weapons that survive - going to Baltic states next. Congratulations. Very "pragmatic" and "realpolitik".
They're not gamerfied to the extreme, and they don't cater seriously to Western aesthetics.

ASRock are just solid, dependable boards with good design and great firmware. They segment for all ranges of computing so you have to know a little bit about what you're buying before you pick one, because spending the most money won't necessarily net you the best hardware for your task.

They're bigger in SEAsian markets, and I end up searching Chinese and Japanese blogs when I'm looking for substantive post-sales information.
It's really striking that the prompt is just a variation of "using the following text as reference material: <paste text of relevant document here>, answer the following question: <paste question here>". It's so simple it almost makes you wonder if this "should" work, but apparently it does so that's nice.

On the other hand, this approach does struggle if the chosen reference is not actually the one you want, or if the correct answer is spread over some combination of many different documents. You could add more reference documents to the prompt, but intuitively that doesn't scale with many and/or large documents.
Never had any luck with the Yi family of models. They tend to get sidetracked and respond in Chinese. Maybe my setup is somehow flawed
I would argue agency is a bigger factor.

My problem is that when a corporation does something super shitty to me, I have zero ability to punish them for it.

Give people the ability to punish corporate bad actors, and they would get a lot happier.

There are significantly less job opportunities that offer acceptable levels of decency, compared to past decades.
Re: risk

Nah. That trope is a all too common false assumption. Where others see risk, the true entrepreneur sees opportunity. The myth of Entrepreneurs being willing to embrace more risk is a false one. Rather they see things others do not and ultimately mitigate risk. They fact that others use risk as the metric proves my point.
Multiple problems can exist at the same time.
You're confused there. The xz backdoor made use of a Debian OpenSSH patch, but it wasn't "caused" by it. Without the patch, the malicious xz maintainer could have written a different backdoor without making use of the OpenSSH patch -- for example, since debian packages are compressed with xz, the backdoor could have modified the sshd binary while unpacking the next OpenSSH security update.
That would have been slower (attacker might have needed to wait a long time for a security update), and more discoverable since the modified file would be persisted to disk; but it also wouldn't have caused the performance issues that ended up in the discovery of the backdoor.
There's many that believe cats and dogs have no feelings. Until we can convince people if that, I have no hope of people caring about whales.
C++ is designed by a committee, for better and for worse, with TS contributions from people of a variety of industries and backgrounds.

Rust doesn't even have a formal spec, it's just whatever rustc admits. The potential for a single corporation to steer that for its own benefit seems greater to me. And we know how MS has attempted to destroy Linux before, in particular with its incursion with .NET in Gnome.

New automobiles are available for the same price they’ve always been.

For proof I offer the price of the 1969 Volkswagen Beetle, the least expensive new car for sale in the US market for almost its entire sales history: $1800. That’s for one with zero options. A rolling chassis with four seats and a motor.

That’s $16k today. Coincidentally the same price of the Nissan Versa or Mitsubishi Mirage: with backup camera, air conditioning, and airbags.

People don’t WANT the cheap cars, though.

I know the average price of a new car has exploded.

That is a conscious choice by the consumer.

When production of autonomous tech scales it won’t increase costs as much as people assume.
This has the same issue I have with any theory where the great filter is a technology that evolves roughly contemporaneously with spaceflight (like atomic weapons): It’s just not probable that _every_ civilisation would destroy themselves before being multi planetary. By virtue of the events being so close, some civilisations would escape destruction if only through dumb luck.

Personally I think the lack of visible galactic civilisations is more plausibly explained by a combination of life being rare (and probably brought to Earth via panspermia after billions of years of evolution elsewhere) and both multicellular and sentient life also being rare.
Happy to have helped put your mind at ease!
I had good results with the previous Yi-34b and its fine tunes like Nous-Capybara-34B. Will be interesting to see what Chatbot Arena thinks but my expectations are high.

This is possible, although the problem is the cost of capturing the CO2. It might be better to synthesize a liquid fuel; methanol is probably the easiest. Capturing the CO2 of combustion is probably easier than capturing atmospheric CO2, so that should be included. Overall, the RTE will be lower than hydrogen, but maybe it's cheaper if the geology doesn't favor hydrogen storage.

Another possible alternative would be artificial geothermal, with very high temperature rock at fairly shallow depth. Obviously that's not transportable.
Nice track record! You may have used my tiny contribution to the kernel from ca. 1995 if you used a specific (but common) NIC at the time :)

I came back to Debian when it was 7 or 8 and installed it 6 months before the next release.

The upgrade notes made it very clear that in place upgrades are an abomination and that I will burn in hell if I do that. Or something like that.

So I reinstalled.

And took a Leo of faith in the next version by using "stable" as the distribution, apt dist-upgrade and all. It worked !

Maybe the alarming messages are now gone, good thing. I will be switching from arch to debian soon and stay there for ever.
Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.

The veterans for those conflicts often went in enthused, and came back entirely disillusioned. Pretty much created a machine for damaging their reputation, which ran for decades.

Agreed. It's just syntax, similar to implicit keywords (mentioned already) and & anonymous functions[0].

Pattern matching a large number of items off a map is verbose. Putting many new keys in a map can be verbose if they're existing variables.

I'd rather have shorter code that was just as readable than many lines that add to cruft.

[0] Reading `&%{foo: &1.bar}` as a new Elixir dev looks like character soup and is arguably more magical.
It looks like they switched to Apache 2.0 for the weights.
… but so does anything that performs photosynthesis?
The economic argument against nuclear for peaking remains, however.
This is why there are concepts like relative survival. Maybe new procedures are evaluated using similar methods?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_survival
I find the notion that free will requires a non-determistic system strange. Consider for the sake of argument that you love apples and hate oranges. Then given a free choice between an apple and an orange, you'll always pick the apple. The system is determisitic, and your free will is what makes it deterministic. On the other hand, if you were required to choose an apple or an orange based on a coin flip, you wouldn't call that free will.
This is because Google has grown to be one of the most bureaucratic companies in industry, and it is the bureaucrats who have the utmost power in such companies. Naturally, it is engineers who are let go and bureaucrats who stay during a layoff
If robust, affordable storage technologies that can smooth out the volatility inherent to solar/wind energy become available for a variety of topographies and climate zones, then we’ll be in great shape to reduce GHG from power generation without adding nuclear. Whether this will happen in the next 5-10 years is not clear (at least to me).

Depends on the type of fighting being done, especially if there's a confrontation with an enemy filled with younger soldiers. You do lose agility and speed as you age.

Additionally, there's the matter of obedience. If you're being conscripted because you're "disposable" and closer to death anyway, you're more likely to ignore orders you disagree with. Even incarceration carries less of a threat.
I think this is why the accepted timeline until this week began with the induction of emoji into Unicode, and their inclusion on the iPhone that introduced them to the West. There was a little bit of "oh, mobile phones and pagers" and nobody did any more digging until my blog post.

> The wealthy would be paying way more in tax than they are now (they have to, or their own assets would be sold as well)

That has nothing to do with the concept. The rate of the tax is separate from how it operates.

> I suspect the stable equilibrium would be a lot more renting rather than property ownership

Then the person doing the renting out would be paying the tax (and incurring the associated risks) and passing it on as higher rents. What does that help?

The problem here is assets that are hard to value. Not just in a subjective sense (what is a piece of art really worth?), but in a very practical sense. Take the things we have very good pricing information on -- stocks. If a share of Google is worth $100 and then six months later it's worth $110, but you put down $100 on the form -- objectively its market price at the time -- now someone can lift your shares off of you for a discount because the value changed and they raced to the filing office before you did. Now imagine the same thing but for something that doesn't have a high trading volume or an observable market price at any given time, but can still suddenly change in value over time.

Then it gets worse. Many types of property have a value to the owner which is different than their market value.

Suppose you operate a self-storage company. You have a piece of property which is objectively worth $500,000 where you operate your business. You declare that it's worth $500,000, because it is. Now a competitor can buy it off you for that amount just to grief you, because even though that's the value of the property, in order to move you have to contact all your customers and have them come and pick up their stuff, pay real estate commissions to find and purchase an otherwise identical property to move your business to, shut down your business while you hire contractors to move all your storage lockers to the new property etc.

Meanwhile the competitor just buys it from you for $500,000 and sells it to anyone but you for $500,000 (easy because that's it's true market value), causing you all this trouble and poaching half your customers in the process.

It's the kind of thing academics come up with which has enormous negative consequences in practice.
The application of a system like this could be as augmentation to imagers like CT and ultrasound. Because of its up resolution techniques and lower raw resolution (2x2x8mm), it might not be used for early cancer detection. But it looks really useful in a trauma center or for guiding surgery, etc. These same techniques could also be applied to CT scans, I could see a multi sensor scanner that did both CT and NMRI use super low power, potentially even battery powered.

Regardless, this is super neat.

> We developed a highly simplified whole-body ultra-low-field (ULF) MRI scanner that operates on a standard wall power outlet without RF or magnetic shielding cages. This scanner uses a compact 0.05 Tesla permanent magnet and incorporates active sensing and deep learning to address electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals. We deployed EMI sensing coils positioned around the scanner and implemented a deep learning method to directly predict EMI-free nuclear magnetic resonance signals from acquired data. To enhance image quality and reduce scan time, we also developed a data-driven deep learning image formation method, which integrates image reconstruction and three-dimensional (3D) multiscale super-resolution and leverages the homogeneous human anatomy and image contrasts available in large-scale, high-field, high-resolution MRI data.
No source talks about PCB or other drugs in this case. Psychiatrist in this case testified "'100% certain' cannabis-induced psychosis".

Show HN: I created an app for you to be a more unpredictable romantic partner
Hi All!

Love Fuel aims to make you a romantic partner that is full of surprises. A partner that is unpredictable, in a fun and exciting way. The app does this, by giving you +450 surprise-ideas and by being a tool to plan actions.

As a happily married man, I didn't understand why there was no apps for already happy couples. Love Fuel focuses on excitement; not therapy; not emotional topics; not reconnecting.

One key feature is the reminders. As a technical solo-entrepreneur and married man, I understand we all get distracted sometimes, but that shouldn’t cause problems. Love Fuel has a hidden reminder system to nudge you to surprise your partner and shift your focus to what matters.

Please also feel free to check out PAS 1.0, our custom Personality Assessment AI-System. Its goal is simple, analyses you and your partner, and then provide personalized suggestions based on personality psychology. Together with a small group of psychologists here in Scandinavia we have used 2 years developing this new approach to Rec-Psych Systems. Many more features will be coming soon!

The app should be out in the US + EU on Apple Appstore now, and Google Play tomorrow.

I would love to get some feedback and any advice on my Love Fuel journey!

EDIT: A clarification. We do not sell or ever intend to sell data, no matter how lucrative it is, i would rather abandon the project than do that.

They talk about waste and impact, and then say things like "OMG if I gain 3 pounds my tailored clothes won't fit". That just means they're getting the wrong kind of clothes then. Get functional clothes that continue to work even if you gain 20 pounds. Don't get clothes that are so useless you can't gain a few pounds. That problem should only exist for children who just keep growing. I don't see why fashion has to be so hard for some people.

It seems this person's idea of what "looks good" is the mainstream thing: useless non-functional clothing that costs way more than it's worth and goes out of style by next week. "Ugh I guess I'll wear peasant clothes and just not look good". Reminds me of people who think wearing makeup is the same thing as looking good.
If humans would ever have to compete with a hypothetical ASI, why would they be limited by their own brainpower? It’s far more likely that we would pit ASIs against each other, many of which would be under human control.
Given that it took probabilistic models to create the fluency of generative AI, it would only make sense that brains exploit quantum effects.
I think GP is kind of also correct, since emojis were more of first person expressions[1] while emoticons and kaomoji[2] tended to be second person.

Eh, that doesn't flow.

My first thought is' the fire is as bright as magnesium because it is, in fact, magnesium in the hulls (or shells) burning.

"I saw a fireplace, as hot as ignited firewood" would sound silly too.
Or just breaks the circuit, like a fuse. Better for the grid to fail in a way that can be recovered from quickly than for it to fail and burn itself to the point that recovery takes years.
No, they are not. There was a time when Microsoft tried to sneak C# through Mono into the Gnome desktop under the "promise" that they would not enforce legal action. Fortunately, many smelled the BS from miles away, except for some misguided Gnome developers. Why should Rust not also be a vehicle for Microsoft's new incursion into, e.g., the Linux kernel, where some are already poking Rust?

I am not all that familiar with the Rust Foundation; but I do not trust corporate-owned languages in general, let alone ones where Microsoft seeks to have an influence.
