I can't believe they changed this too. It's like context doesn't matter, as though "Man" wasn't used in a gender-neutral way in the term "Man-In-The-Middle".

People are free to choose to say PITM instead of MITM if they feel the original term is offensive, but it shouldn't be forced onto everyone (e.g. GitHub issues nagging maintainers to change MITM to PITM in order to be more "inclusive").
Any plans to assimilate the build system as well? Grace seems to handle large files and can deploy stuff to developers and servers. Why have a separate system for deploying build artifacts to developers and servers then? By integrating with the build system a VCS knows which files are build artifacts and which are sources.

I wrote about it more extensively here: https://beza1e1.tuxen.de/monorepo_vcs.html

I don't believe this is going to actually make it into games I have any interest in playing. Ubisoft might include it for a bit in some awful games, but it will fizzle out quick.

For the sake of argument, let's imagine it actually did make it into some game you'd want to play. It's well known that the quality of generation from these LLM's is heavily dependent on the quality of the text you put into it. Does that mean the quality of the game narrative is now going to be dependent on how I play it? Will normal people who just like to mess about get a worse game experience than the guy following the traffic laws in GTA? What's the creative talent even doing in that world?
Exactly. Adding a nonce like that was exactly what I did in a CS100 level course when I was over complicating a blackjack exercise that was intended to teach us about stack data structures. I'm really grateful to my prof who took the time to point out the issues with my RNG code instead of being annoyed that I'd turned in ~3x the average LOC.

This is such a basic cryptographic fail that one has to assume either the telegram team is incompetent or they were introducing a backdoor. Given that the excuse is so weak, one tends to assume the latter. I get rolling one's one crypto is hard, but this is a such an easily caught fundamental error that those are the options, and neither is good.
It might have been. Even then, I remember thinking that it was odd that it came on VHS. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Look carefully. The SQL client does not just "display it in local time", it displays it with a UTC offset. You can be sure whenever you see a UTC offset that UTC is fully recoverable. In this way the TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE field is context independent. It's just UTC.

Conversely, if there is no offset, time zone, or something to distinguish it as UTC (like the Z in ISO8601) then you are just storing "local time", that is the time on the clock in someone's kitchen, somewhere. This is the TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE field and is highly context dependent (in particular, what clock was used?)
Professor sues Meta to allow release of feed-killing tool for Facebook
I’m sorry, to clarify: The US version of the aforementioned game of chicken. That is, the threat of conventional military action.

It was widely reported that the US privately communicated the consequences of tactical nuclear weapon use to Russia, while maintaining an element of strategic ambiguity. Most reports suggested these consequences involved a full-scale conventional military response within Ukraine’s borders, thereby disincentivizing use.

In terms of subsequent escalation: As you pointed out, Russia of course knows using nukes against the US is literal suicide.

While Bohr effect is a real thing obviously, your description doesn't seem to be fully correct (though it's not my field of expertise). Haemoglobin will link with O₂ just fine when level of CO₂ is decreased, only release of it in tissues will be negatively affected. But it's not like it stops at all, and to me it's not clear if it can really lead to a full-scale oxygen deprivation. Blood low acidity resulting from low CO₂ can explain symptoms like involuntary muscle contractions described by that poster above on its own

I've been using Git for over a decade and I never had the need to "delete everything, reclone".

The only time I screwed up a Git repo was when I was experimenting with storing Git repos in USB pens and one of them got corrupted. I have no idea what might lead anyone to screw up a Git repo, because that's simply unrealistic.

> [Tipping] spread from Europe to the US, where employers like railcar operator Pullman Co. greatly expanded its use after the Civil War, to minimize wages paid to newly freed slaves. Tipping has become even more widespread in the US since the pandemic, intensifying a debate over when to tip and how much, and over minimum-wage laws that allow employers to pay tipped workers as little as $2.13 an hour.

It's much better to simply pay people properly in the first place. Then there's no need for tipping.
On the contrary, I wish this was dismissive. It's about time that the Overton window gets shifted about the overly nostalgic articles that get praised by "the right people", which means we need to "read the room" and share the same opinions.

It is an absolutely good thing that an inexpensive device is replacing an expensive one, and that impoverished children will be able to create music with an inexpensive iPad and will not be forced to learn obsolete methods to "finger" an instrument.
Show HN: Quickcal.chat – LLM powered app that simplifies calorie tracking
Hi HN!

As a fitness enthusiast who struggled with the tedious and confusing process of tracking calories, I thought LLMs could offer a better way.

I've developed quickcal.chat, a web app that streamlines calorie counting to a quick text description or photo — much simpler than using apps like MyFitnessPal, in my opinion.

It recognises the food from photos or a description and logs the nutritional info. This has turned what used to be a chore into a slightly more manageable chore :)

Give it a try at https://quickcal.chat (no signup required) or through ChatGPT plugin [1] or read abit more on the landing page [2].

>the *outrage* felt by artists

Which definition applies here?

Outrage:

1. An act of extreme violence or viciousness.

2. Something that is grossly offensive to decency, morality, or good taste.

3. Resentful anger aroused by a violent or offensive act, or an instance of this.

I think people are just a little critical, more than they are outraged. I have a deep hope that you're not outraged.

I'm typically critical of Apple's value and technology, but I am far more offended by what is a clear oversensitivity to art, and expression, which is by far the greater crime to the arts and to society as a whole.

The idea that people can't make art or express themselves for fear of other artists' outrage is what's truly outrageous.
I never claimed there was genocide, I said claiming that the idea of it is ridiculous is in itself ridiculous. And I quoted an ICJ ruling that said "at least some of the acts alleged by South Africa appear to fall under the provisions of the Genocide Convention". Which means what it says, South Africa claims certain things, and those things it alleges fall under the Genocide convention. So the discussion about genocide is far removed from being ridiculous, it's being argued in a very serious way. This was further proved by your quote of the ICJ judge that said the court ruled there was risk of genocide as Israel continues its destruction of civilian population.

I also never claimed that risk of losing your right to be protected from genocide is like getting your Nintendo Switch stolen, it was just a pointer for you to think about what it actually would mean. And it would mean genocide, not some minor thing like you pretend it to be. Oh well, they lost their right to be protected from genocide, what else is on the news - oh look we bombed a kindergarten, we are further progressing in our goals to live a peaceful life.

But speaking of holes, I guess I discounted the large void between your ears.
I used to play piano and guitar. This ad is soul-crushing.

I have been an Apple user since June 1983, and have repeatedly sung the praises of the company, its technology and its vision for decades to friends, family employers and employees. Some of my own identify is strangely drawn from being an Apple aficionado for so long. Personally, this ad was very disappointing, very crushing - to purposefully destroy instruments of creativity is rudely incongruous to my understand of the meaning of Apple.
Interesting but this page reads like a marketing piece.

The discourse around VCSs is mature and you should BLUF with where yours sits in the spectrum of alternatives.

What is the repository model and the concurrency model? Those are the basics.
Seems to be centralized & um, merge or lock, maybe? I don't want to have to parse lots of fluff to find that out.

Then, what is the storage method and change scope? How do revision IDs work? No idea and I am not going to dig further.

Final comment is that "100,000 files with 15,000 directories" isn't really that big. How many TB did that represent? How many revisions/branches/history?
Interpunctuation would really help making your comment understandable.
I'd be curious to know how would it damp lower frequencies that travel also by contact. Sound proofing for mid-high frequencies is easy if one doesn't aim at studio quality: just use wood and foam panels, break facing walls and angles with acoustic absorbing objects and cover every window or mirror (read: glass) with a thick curtain, add carpets on the floor and panels on the ceiling, and you're done. (hint: a $5 foam panel glued on a thin OSB board makes a quite effective, still light and cheap absorbing panel for mid-high frequencies)
However, bass frequencies will be only marginally affected by that, and depending on what the room is used for, the above treatment might turn out as insufficient: probably overkill for recording a podcast, still not enough for recording music at higher volumes like when miking a band.
Treatments for lower frequencies are expensive because of the necessity to literally prevent walls, floor and ceiling from vibrating, which invariably requires them to be weighed down adding concrete layers to further lower down their resonance frequency, before adding soundproofing. Sometimes the best approach is to build a drywall room into the room, which of course is more expensive and space constraining than the wood+foam panels solution.

A single second is a very long time, typical reaction time is like a tenth of that. Especially at 1 mph. Not only is that a very long time, at 1mph, you are moving less than 2 feet per second. At that speed, your only worry is really a kid diving immediately under your tires.
Still working my way through season 3 so may change my mind. :) Any recommendations?
China where all the parts are made started to control export of them to control use on Ukraine side. Quite few european NGOs have been buying parts on aliexpress, soldering and supplying drones to ukraine. China is trying to cut that off and next step probably will have to be crowd sourcing them to circumvent that (instead money donate these parts from these links).

On the other hand Russia has addopted the same tactic and now have flow of drones estimated to be atleast 2x more drones than ukraine.
Apologizing bought them another round of "earned media". Not only did the ad get press, now the apology gets press, exposing the message "there's a new, thinner iPad" to people who didn't see the ad before.

I personally don't care if the ad was good or bad. I'm not an interested shareholder and I'm not in the Apple ecosystem.

But I just learned there's a new iPad via HN.

Maybe they'll take down the ad next week for a third bite at the apple. The first line of the article might read: 'Apple has cracked under pressure after the company's botched launch of the thinnest M4 iPad ever. The company took down its "Crush!" ad on Monday.'
You need focus and direction in any media. Books, movies, games, etc.... they all need it.

The first NPC that you encounter with such freedom of interaction is interesting, the 45th will be annoying and you'll just want to get to the point. The holodeck of Star Trek is often brought up as an excellent example of AI generated interactions, but people seem to be forgetting that the stories we see unfold on TV aren't random interactive stories. They're scripted stories written by show's writers.

Unless you want to make a simulation without a real goal, I don't see how this could lead to fun and interesting gameplay past the first hour. Realism is, always will be, a bad gameplay pillar just for the sake of it.
That proves it, they love their offspring so much, they could just eat them all up, hair and nails.
I don't think one needs to be Japanese to be offended by that ad. Also, it's amazing at how accurate it is describing Apple's general corporate approach.

> I agree, complexity bad. So why do you like Git? :-)

I think you're trying to fabricate problems where there are none.

Git's UX problem lies in the way it's CLI is not intuitive for those unfamiliar with it, but a) using GUI frontends like SourceTree allows newbies to eliminate that issue, b) with time you onboard to the CLI and everything just works.

At best, your suggestion to use another user interface is equivalent to suggesting Git users to adopt a new GUI frontend that's polished in a different way.

> Git is _incredibly_ complex to understand,

I don't know what you can possibly mean by "incredibly complex".

For end users, your mental model can be limited to a) you clone a repository, b) you commit and your changes, c) you push your changes to make them available to everyone, d) you pull everyone's changes to have access to them.

This is hardly rocket science. I mean, why do you think Git managed to become the world's de facto standard VCS and sets the gold standard for VCSs?

I don’t know if that’s the case here, but Apple has a long history of doing real-life photoshoots of their products that end up looking like CGI. It’s an extremely clean, perfectionist aesthetic. Realistically, it’s probably a real-life shot with CGI sprinkled in.

While FPGA may prove more efficient than 3090, a primarily gaming card, I can’t see how it should be more efficient than dedicated training/inference card, as the latter are more effectively ASIC, not to mention memory and bandwidth limitations.

Is there something I am missing making FPGA potentially more viable, besides not feeding into NVIDIA’s greed?

>> I have to rip media from bluray because the streaming version only has audio or subtitles available in the local language

This. It's a huge problem for us expatriates living outside of their native countries - I want my son to be bilangual and as part of that I try to at least play cartoons in my native tongue - but Disney/Netflix/Prime usually only have the local language option, even though as soon as we are physically in my home country magically the same shows have dubs in local language. So all of these corporations have these options available, but decide not to show them for whatever reason. So more often than not I have to ask family to send us actual DVDs/Blurays of kids shows so we can watch them in the language we want to watch them in.

And no, VPN doesn't always help - it's flaky, it's frustrating in its stability, one day it works the next day it doesn't, it's not the thing I want to mess with nearly every other day just to play some cartoons.
That's not a way I'd expected anyone to use Section 230, but my gut reaction is that I'm all for it.

> The hypothesis has long been controversial, and many different, often contradictory variations have existed throughout its history.[2] The strong hypothesis of linguistic relativity, now referred to as linguistic determinism, is that language determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and restrict cognitive categories. This was claimed by some of the early linguists before World War II;[3] but, it is generally agreed to be false by modern linguists.[4] Nevertheless, research has produced positive empirical evidence supporting a weaker version of linguistic relativity:[4][3] that a language's structures influence a speaker's perceptions, without strictly limiting or obstructing them.

So there is empirical evidence that it has a non-zero impact on the way people view the world.

Yeah, I think DRAM is almost certainly the future, just in terms of being able to afford the memory capacity to fit large models. Even Cerebras using a full wafer only gets up to 44 GB of SRAM on a chip (at a cost over $2M).

An interesting twist is that this DRAM might not need to be a central pool where bandwidth must be shared globally -- e.g. the Tensortorrent strategy seems to be aiming for using smaller chips that each have their own memory. Splitting up memory should yield very high aggregate bandwidth even with slower DRAM, which is great as long as they can figure out the cross-chip data flow to avoid networking bottlenecks

It's the needless destruction that really gets to me. I have a fairly visceral reaction to seeing things that someone put time, effort and scarce resources into making get destroyed for no reason, and Apple's ad hit so many nerves in that respect. It's just a complete waste, and that's before we get into the whole subtext of "tech is going to destroy 'IRL' art forms" that many people got.
