I deployed a fully autonomous automower a few years ago which navigates by sight, sound and terrain-following sensors. It is guided by visual cues which tell it within which area it is supposed to keep the vegetation short. It does not need to be guided any further since it senses where the vegetation is in need of clipping. One of the best things about this system is that it does not require charging since it actually runs on the clippings it harvests. The remarkable thing about this solution is that it is not new, the current incarnation is 33 years old.

It has self-reproduced twice.

It is a small to medium sized Welsh mountain pony, keeper of grounds here at our farm.
Because of one problem, we are not allowed to talk about other interesting ideas?

Why not just allow only topics on Hackernews where the specified problem is mentioned as the foremost issue.

Also this article actually did highlight the imminent problem.

It does? Measured by what? That's what I say; I'm a consumer, but beyond that, how am I valuable? How are you?

> By extension all lives are equally valuable and necessary.

You are a vegan? Are plants lives lives?

Also, putting too much pressure on the planet with over population makes it the opposite of valuable.
It turns out there is a bit of an exception to this, which is that plain SPF only applies to the envelope from address, not the From: field, and failure of plain SPF is sometimes (I don't know how often) considered independently from DMARC.
This seems to work very well. So far no UI issues with browsing my top 20 websites. Observed benefits: prevents adds, some toxic material, and even bypasses some paywalled news sites I visit.

This is why the author should have written the article during Obama's term, not now. Now Russia is responsible for pressuring the EU with migrants. However, not a word about it, which makes it anti-US propaganda.

Does LM Studio support GBNF (grammars) through llama.cpp? I had a quick look through the documentation but didn’t see it mentioned.

Ollama curiously lacks this feature and - if the stale GH issues are any indication - doesn’t seem to consider it a priority.

From our perspective it’s absolutely essential to the use of smaller models in particular.

Ok on cleaned aligned data, but there are a few newer ones like EasyOCR [0] that can deal with much less organized text (albeit more slowly)

Anecdotally I can say it's improved my productivity. Mainly because it's just a slightly better autocomplete than PHPStorm/Jetbrains IDE provides. Although they are now pushing their own AI tools for an extra fee pretty heavily but unlikely to pay for it given copilot pricing is pretty competitive.

There are occasions where I'm just not in the mood to work something complex out so sticking a temporary comment in telling it what to do can sometimes yield a good enough result, all be it with some occasional minor tweaking.

Where it's really shined is with repetitive tasks. It's nothing close to perfect but it's certainly a welcomed little helper even if it does get things wrong sometimes.

In terms of the original question, I think its the cognative mental load thats being helped here more than anything, not having to waste brain power on the mundane bits is the big selling point for me.
Now repeat this study for meditators. I used to vocalise and the total volume of internal vocalisation decreased with increasing practice. I have a high level of verbal intelligence, so I wonder how this has impacted?
Pretty much. "Have fun, just don't be stupid about it." I have a deep suspicion of proponents of asceticism.
LuaJIT is mentioned, but I think it also demonstrates that this is not always the case. Lots of people and projects also selected luajit over lua as a deliberate choice.

It sounds like upon expiry, you could redirect all 80/443 traffic to the same node, serving an error page. In my mind, that's better than having to install a client.
Mostly because time slows as things approach event horizon.

I know that in the frame of reference of infalling object everything seems like business as usual but for far away observer (us) nothing ever crossed any event horizon.

You can't do away with this problem without dismissing the notion of any well defined simultaneity altogether (which people do, but I believe it's a cop out).

As far as I'm concerned there just wasn't enough time since the beginning of the universe for any blackhole to form, from our point of view, because of the infinite time dilatation. And I think our (remote observer) point of view is what counts because most places in the universe are remote observers.

If you are interested in the rest of my cosmological beliefs I believe that black holes are primary form of matter, the rest is just a dust between them.

I believe that big bang wasn't the beginning of time and space but rather highly energetic event caused by collision of two superdense clusters of trillions of supermassive balckholes. What inflates space is the kinetic energy imparted on the dust by this collision. The mass flies away in all direction with random velocities and the spacetime is "dragged" by it.

We all came from the dust swirling between them that got heated by the event to the energies of quark gluon plasma and higher.

We are also possibly under the influence of very strong, very long wavelength gravity waves originating from outside of observable universe. Larger remaining chunks of the objects that collided to give birth to our universe might be the source.

While you are right about pure copper being the best for such drilling with free abrasive, a few niche use cases for pure copper do not make a "bronze age" into a "copper age".

Even after the much cheaper iron replaced bronze for most uses, bronze remained the best choice for a few purposes, but nonetheless that does not override the transition from the bronze age to the iron age.

While emery does not occur locally, the island of Naxos is closer to Egypt than many other places from which various goods were imported at that time, so that was not a serious obstacle against its use.

The conclusion of the parent article was that emery (with copper cylinders) produced the best matches with the archaeological artifacts, so that was the most probable method used for drilling (the other possible alternatives, like importing diamond dust or corundum dust from India have probabilities far too low to be believable; what we name now as diamonds became known to the Mediterranean world only after the expedition in India of Alexander the Great; the word "diamond" is much older, but it was previously applied to osmium-iridium alloy nuggets, which are found together with gold nuggets in alluvial deposits and which are embedded in the gold of many ancient Egyptian artifacts).
> You value your own life.

We are an accidental blib in a cold vast cosmos; nothing and no-one would think of us or remember us if the earth explodes today (or if someone hits the nuke button). I 'value' my life in so far that I am not in pain and I was born in the right location with the right interests (math + computing) to do whatever I want to sit it out until I die.

How is any of it a reason to make more babies though or a sign we have a shortage just because we make less than we need to create a population equilibrium or growth?
> I find it striking that Rome’s elections happen in late summer or early fall, when it would actually be rather inconvenient for poor Romans to spend a day voting (it’s the planting season)

Fun fact: the date the US holds their federal elections used to have the opposite intent [1] - placing it in November was because by then harvest should be over and placing it on a Tuesday allowed for farmers to observe Sunday for church-going, a day of travel and for them to be back on their farm by Wednesday for market day. But today, with way fewer people observing church, new methods of transportation and polling places everywhere, it's more of a hindrance especially for low-income workers or workers who fear they might get fired for taking time off to vote.

As I go forward through the stack, the rendering works fine and as expected. When I go back through it, the “previous” page renders two or three times. It’s possible the first paint is a cached page image from my browser, but why does the site then render the page I’m leaving briefly before rendering the page I was heading back to.

Just as with C2, there’s some client-side rendering system running that seems to provide no runtime benefit over plain old HTML. All these sites need is text and links.

> Here in the UK we’re in the weird and untenable position of providing state funding for religious schools

Australia has been doing that since the 1960s. State governments fund public schools, federal government funds private schools (the majority of which are religious)

The Catholic Church forced them into it by threatening to close its private schools and send all the students to public ones, thereby overwhelming the public school system. They actually temporarily did that in one small Australian city (the “Goulburn school strike” in 1962), [0] just so everyone knew they weren’t bluffing. Their brinkmanship paid off; although the system funds all private schools equally (both secular and religious), the Catholic Church has always been the largest beneficiary, since it controls more Australian private schools than any other organisation (around 54% on an enrolment basis)

An Ubernerd Weighs in (2013)
I had a look, maybe, to me he just looks like bog-standard D.C libertarian think-tank type of guy. The Cato institute positions itself as libertarian non-interventionist (founded by American libertarians and a billionaire), so it would be consistent with their viewpoint. To me it seems more likely the shilling going on here is domestic rather than foreign.

For the roadmap, maybe make it a separate page where people can vote on what feature enhancements they want. That way you don’t broadcast that the app isn’t fully built, and you gather feedback regarding which features are most popular.
If anything such sentiment is actively harmful to the topic, since claiming it's bordering on climate denial, borders on censorship to me.

Even though I believe climate change is real, I could see how it would irk me against the whole movement when it's the only thing you are allowed to talk about.

The post in its first paragraph literally brings up how we are actively harming the planet with carbon emissions, so it's not even that they didn't mention it or went against it.
Ouch, completely missed the footer.
Not specific to LG, from the chart. Seems like all brands, including Sony are an afterthought. (Note that LG doesn't currently sell LG branded phones. They sell to other brands.)

Following your rationale, I'd guess the top selling brand is getting backlash specifically because it's the top selling brand by a large margin. And other brands, like LG, can make "outrageous" ads without causing outrage because Japanese people either don't see or don't care about ads from brands that don't hold a majority market share.

Is that close to what you're saying? If so, is that true for other market segments? It'd be interesting to note. I don't know that I have a similar example for the US market.

I did not end up taking these particular college offers, but ~10 years ago I had offers for ~$50,000 a year after financial aid from multiple colleges. In 2024 I wouldn't be surprised if the same offer to me would be $75,000 a year. The year after year price adjustments I've see colleges make are insane.
What should I do if I want to understand such articles in complete? where to start on the roadmap?
You'd think it woukd work fine, after all, init systems for half a century have worked fine without it.

But no. Newer versions of systemd have issues, and this was what systemd pushed. Just why do you think all these distros had the sane patch? For fun?

Arch would have ended up with it eventually. It wasn't Arch being prescient, Arch wasn't using the same systend version as Debian Unstable, and other distros bleeding edge branches.

Lots of tit-for-tat here. My thesis is that it was not Zionism that caused today's conflict, but today's conflict is but a continuation of centuries of Arab violence against Jews.

In support, I offer the fact that the Irgun attack of 1937 cum 1939 was the first Jewish retaliation after centuries of Arab attacks.

You attempted to demonstrate that Zionism was the cause of today's conflict by excerpting a 1917 essay. I don't think this reasonably compares to the historical record which shows a long, long pattern of Arab violence and calumny against Jews going back centuries.

Your username implies that you value rationality. Great! Me too.

In general, after years of arguing about this with strangers on the internet, I have not ever once encountered an anti-Zionist who argues well and honestly by scrupulously steel-manning the pro-Israeli argument, employing the Principle of Charity, citing falsifiable evidence for assertions, acknowledging opponents' points rather than ghosting, avoiding logical fallacy, and so forth. After years of only ever hearing fallacious arguing of that sort, I strongly suspect that there is no foundation for the anti-Israel stance based in logic and rationality.

Is there? Can you meet that challenge? Can you address the challenge directly and honestly, steel-manning and then refuting that thesis?

So, directly: if the first Jewish attack on Arabs was in 1937 while, to be charitable, the "first" Arab attack on Jews of the region were over 100 years earlier in 1834 in Safed and Hebron, with many thereafter, then how can it be Zionism that caused Arabs to attack Jews? Isn't it more credible to say that Arabs attack Jews irrespective of Zionism? Rather, that "Zionism" is the excuse for attacks that would happen anyway? Moreover, isn't it possible that Zionism gained status and authority, not as a bigoted "settler-colonialist project" as you term it, but rather as a necessary defensive corrective against ongoing violent attacks, both in the region and abroad? As the kids say these days, where the lie?
That's odd
The societies we live in are a precarious balance based on assumptions like we can grow food and we don't all try to kill each other. One part has become: our population continues to grow. It is less dramatic than those others, but it's impact should not be ignored.
this just must be a joke package, as all it is doing is importing an "is-odd" package and returning `!isOdd(i)`... sad to think that someone is actually using this though.
Seconded, feels unready
It even depends on is-odd (375K weekly downloads). The script kiddies have taken over.

Well I could replicate that example with an animation curve using only css:

But if you want each step's duration to be parameterizable then you'll need to reach for js, I'd recommend the Animation API.
Not in the auctions on the courthouse steps I've been to.

When I went, the process is this :

the auctioneer arrives and announces

bidders step forward to qualify, wherein they (privately) show their ID and cashier's checks made out to themselves

auction occurs, as others have said credit bids typically dominate (by the lender, who may bid multiple times)

winner signs over cashier's checks to auctioneer, overage being refunded later at COE

For this reason the pros carry many denominations of cashier's checks, so they don't have to leave much overage with the settlement
Client-side JavaScript is always distributed[1] source[2] code - because your web page is distributing it to the user's browser. So AFAIK you shouldn't use GPL nor LGPL code in your pages unless all your client-side JavaScript in the page is appropriately licenced. Minified or obfuscated is still source code (you must provide original source as per license).

Client-side LGPL JavaScript is neither statically linked nor dynamically linked but potentially could be a "mere aggregation" i.e. it is hard to use LGPL legally. Perhaps you could meet the legal definition of calling a library by using web assembly or web workers (see your IP lawyer!).

Unfortunately the FSF appear to be intentionally vague when documenting this issue.

For more details see:

https://greendrake.info/publications/js-gpl

https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/4360/what-are... (be careful reading it because part of that answer is about what circumstances client-side GPL mean that the server-side should be GPLed).

This issue can affect the HTML and CSS too:

It is possible to write Javascript code which is strongly bound to a particular HTML document. The Javascript code in this case would have hard-coded references to parts of the HTML document and would rely on that document's particular structure to work. This would be a strong indication that the Javascript and the document should be considered a single work.

Edit: [2] or object code (transpiled/minified) but distributing/conveying object code usually requires you to provde source.
I'm sorry but no they really don't.

As an example, there's been some pretty deadly heatwave feuled by climate changed recently for example both in Sub-Saharan africa and south east asia and I'm sure nobody is really aware of it.

Turns out the "alarmist" as you call them were right all along and the current events are following pretty much the worst case scenarios.

And yet he's telling the truth.

US commercial and military interests led to the destabilisation of many republics and states across the world in the name of freedom and democracy. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is the bold and sad truth and the truth is that those wonderful values have been completely emptied from their meaning by the US capitalist elites.
